Vine for Android is Here. Finally.

Posted By on June 4, 2013

The app gap between Android and iOS has shrunken considerably in the last several years, but there’s nothing like some highfalutin’, high profile app that takes its sweet time coming to Android to inevitably cause the re-opening of feelings of neglect and loneliness amongst Android OS users. Remember how it felt to longingly look over the shoulder of the iPhone-wielding person sitting beside you on the train or plane and seeing Netflix? Flipboard? Instagram? They came to Android… eventually.

Vine for Android?

All Eyes on the Samsung Galaxy S4 [Video]

Posted By on June 3, 2013

The iPhone market is beginning to actually lose public support for the next latest and greatest mobile device, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and they are doing some amazing marketing for their devices. The latest YouTube viral video about their product shows off the power of the camera by tracking the game contestant’s eye movement. If they can stare at the S4 for sixty minutes, avoiding shifting their gaze for even a moment with intentional distractions, they will win their own Galaxy S4.

Is this the Future of Tithing?

Posted By on June 2, 2013

It’s called the Square Stand and they are calling it “the register reinvented.”

This looks like something you would see in a Sci-Fi film!

The Square Stand claims it’s the easiest way to run your business, but could it be used to easily collect Sunday morning tithing as more and more people are going mobile?

Texting & Driving Kills More Teens Than Drinking & Driving

Posted By on June 1, 2013

I remember seeing the dramatic television ads as a kid.

“Friends don’t let friends drink and drive.”

They were always dramatic and very persuasive.

As bad and fatal as drinking and driving is, there’s a new epidemic that is now claiming more teens lives.

The World’s Quietest Room: Too Much Noise; Too Much Tech?

Posted By on May 30, 2013

I struggled with attention/focus issues. I was that kid in the back of the room who couldn’t keep still/quiet.

Now that I’m older, I’ve tried to find ways to help me manage my issues. One thing I’ve always wanted to try is a “quiet room.” I think that it would be helpful for me, force me to focus and calm down.

Or maybe it would drive me insane. It’s a toss-up.

Apparently, the quietest room in the world—and that’s according to Guinness—is so quiet that many have reported having hallucinations while in the room for extended periods of time. Housed at Orfield Laboratory in Minnesota, the “anechoic chamber” is 99.99% sound absorbent, and the current record length of time spent in the room is only forty-five minutes! That doesn’t seem like much, but according to the story reported by the Daily Mail, we actually use sound to help us get our bearings and to respond to our environment. The article quotes the president of the company, Steven Orfield, as saying:

The Internet of Things [Part 1]

Posted By on May 29, 2013

The Internet of Things. It’s that tantalizing idea that the next wave of internet-like interconnectivity is between our appliances and cars and devices—the things we own.

It’s a sprinkler system that talks to the moisture sensors in the yard + the Weather Channel, or how our smoke detector might develop a friendlier relationship with the toaster. Or how my car keys might find themselves. Please.

Bill Wasik at Wired magazine has June’s featured article on the status of the “physical internet,” which is more than just a Jetsons-like take on home automation. Companies like GE are using sensors and thousands of points of data per second to increase the efficiency of tricky manufacturing plants, while location-aware consumer systems are alerting the coffee bar to start your espresso when you walk in and auto-charge your virtual Starbucks card. You only gotta flash your pretty caffeinated smile.

Wasik describes three milestones on the way to a more physically automated world:  Continue Reading…
