Will you become prisoner to the POV?

Being at the party is more important than what you wear.
Even if the check-shirted, bottom-faced killfuns at Google insist you have to wear something.
This is the only conclusion I can reach after hearing that “T**s And Glass” — no, I haven’t asterisked out an “a” and a “t” — is returning to Google Glass.
Those of healthily lascivious bent might recall that Google banned this app a few weeks ago. Its nature revealed too much of nature.
However, MiKandi, the enterprising Mama Teresas behind this conception, decided to bend over backwards to accommodate Google’s hissing insistence on strictness.
In a blog post full of passion, MiKandi, “the world’s first and largest adult app store,” has sweetened the deal by blocking access to any nudity.
Kids, in America, nudity is bad. Violence, corruption, surveillance, a clothed Jackson, not so much.
MiKandi promises that the Glass-safe version of the app will still be, well, something: “You will now be able to “share and access s… [Read more]

You know that phrase "don’t mess with a good thing?" Sometimes you come across a product that’s so simple, and so-self evident about it that it’s perfect. I feel that way about the Unihook by designer Pat Kim.

A trio of nerds or geeks? Turns out that according to (one man's) science, cosplayers are more geeky than nerdy.

At long last, a line of demarcation more clearly dividing the respective territories of geeks and nerds is being drawn with the help of (what else?) science.
Scientist and software engineer Burr Settles took on a little weekend project this year to try to more precisely define the realms of geekdom and nerdaliciousness using data scraped from Twitter.
Settles took a look at how often various words occurred within tweets alongside “geek” and “nerd” and then, using a mathematical equation that I sadly am not quite nerdy enough to explain adequately here (Settles finds “math” to be a much stronger part of the nerd vocabulary, as is the word “vocabulary”), plotted the following graph to serve as our first-ever atlas of a subcultural universe occupied by two sometimes dueling empires.

We’re never ones to turn down a particularly intriguing teaser, so you can bet we’ll be be there with bells on. T-Mobile’s event’s going down on July 10th in New York City. Beyond that, well, your guess is as good as ours. The minimalistic magenta invite promises that the carrier will be delivering its “boldest moves yet,” via an image file titled, fittingly, “moonshot.” Moon rockets? PlayStation Moves? BlackBerry Bolds? The sky’s the limit, apparently.

Google to loan Street View Trekker to third parties, build out Maps on the cheap
Posted in: Today's Chili
Are you a tourism board, non-profit, government agency, university or research organization? Google wants you to help add 360-degree imagery with its nifty Street View Trekker, through a brand-new loan program. If you get the nod from GOOG, you’ll have a chance to roam the Earth with the company’s human-mounted camera equipment. The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau was tapped as the first volunteer — the group is currently hard at work shooting popular attractions throughout the 50th state. Though the terms aren’t entirely clear, we’re willing to bet that Google’s giving preference to bonafide orgs, rather than sending its pricey gear off with individuals. Still, if you’ve been dying to contribute to Maps, it never hurts to apply. To get started, just fill out the form at the source link below. Oh, and as you’ve probably already guessed, there’s a 60-second video after the break, too.
