It's small and cute, I just don't know about that whole wearable craze. Use it for making even smaller devices and I am on board. I can imagine a lot of different uses for a (semi-)stationary, tiny computer that draws very little power. I hope it's cheap too .

Yeah, absolutely. I would just like to see this as part of a lot of other things, although I could see the baby-stuff they were going with as useful. Hopefully they'll be cheap and easy to get one's hands (and code) on. Sadly, I'd bet they'll be Java-only.

In this course, you will learn how to build web experiences that adapt to the different screen sizes and capabilities that mobile devices offer, and how to scalably optimize media for mobile and desktop. Learn Web Development in 21 Days (or so)
Full course isn't online yet, but supposedly RSN(tm)

Open source isn't just about saving money -- enterprises are adopting it to develop applications faster, with higher quality components. Cost, budget, fiscal prudence, and expenses?

Intel's been promising that future laptops will integrate 3D cameras that can track your motions much like Microsoft's Kinect, and it appears those plans are building steam. Intel has just announced partnerships with a wide variety of PC manufacturers to build the new Intel RealSense 3D camera into a variety of new notebook, two-in-one, and all-in-one computers later this year, including Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and NEC. Now coffee shops will look like they're filming a sequel to Minority Report

Finally.
However, it's still to be seen if developers can produce a UI that takes advantage of Perceptual Computing in an intuitive, foolproof manner that doesn't leave one's arms tired.

If someone can conduct Der Ring des Nibelungen without passing out, we should be able to fidget together a little app. Or we need to work on our upper-body stamina (I know I do).

I can answer that. Only for short periods of time. As you're aware, you have to mix and match the input modalities to get something that isn't as exhausting - i.e., include gestures, gaze, voice and so on. Funnily enough, this is an area that you and I know an awful lot about

I dunno, I think the cellphone-enabled panties are weirder (or at least potentially creepier). This is just us getting closer to our Gibsonian future.

Just when I thought the world couldn't get any weirder... (The Japanese are excluded from this thought, as who knows what crazy thing they will come up with next)

We are actively looking at the potential standardization of a basic 2D drawing library for ISO C++, and would like to base it on (or outright adopt, possibly as a binding) solid prior art in the form of an existing library. "We built Moonlight in C++ for all the wrong reasons and was a decision we came to regret."

Rumor has it that Microsoft is in full retreat on Windows 8 as the outlines of a new version emerge, but the company is already a step ahead as we move into a cloud-centric world. One step back, two steps forward?

Programmers love to sneer at the world of fashion where trends blow through like breezes. Skirt lengths rise and fall, pigments come and go, ties get fatter, then thinner. But in the world of technology, rigor, science, math, and precision rule over fad. Just you wait, everything unfashionable will return one day
