iPad Pocket Projector
Posted in: Today's Chili
I clearly remember when I first caught sight of a pocket projector – it certainly bowled me over with the possibilities, but after getting one, I rarely used it. Come to think of it, it has seen action just a handful of times, so much so that I can even count it on a single hand. I suppose it does not cater to my needs, but enough market research and case studies must have been done in order for pico projectors to be approved and manufactured. Those who tend to make business presentations on the go might find this $249.95 iPad Pocket Projector a boon, especially when you need to throw that money making pitch among a group of potential investors, instead of meeting them one by one.
The iPad Pocket Projector says it all, where it can hook up directly to an iPad for it to instantly display enlarged views of photos, movies, and presentations. It will arrive in a physical form factor that is smaller than a smartphone, tipping the scales at under 5 ounces, where it will plug into your iPad’s 30-pin charging port, making your iPad look like some sort of Borg entity. In a nutshell, you can transform a small room into a mini movie theater of sorts sans complicated setup or cables. The iPad Pocket Projector will come with a 35-lumen LED that delivers 6″ to 60″ diagonal images from 8″ to 78″ away with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, the projector’s resolution maxes out at 640 x 480 pixels, but thankfully there is a manual focus wheel that helps you fine-tune image clarity, alongside controls for the audio level. The LED itself has been rated for 20,000 hours, and it will play nice with all iPads, the iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, and third and fourth generation iPod touch.

Disney Research has been hard at work on a very exciting new piece of technology. It’s called Aireal, and it lets you ‘feel’ virtual objects. Chalk up one more step towards virtual reality, and one more into the realm of science fiction.

Listen! If you are going to rescue your princess and then be wed, it’s all about presentation. Do it right and get something like this Legend of Zelda Ring Bearer Pillow. She will be glad you did and she will say yes faster than you can button mash.
Of course if it is anything like these classic games, she will just get herself in trouble again and you will have to rescue her all over again. But until that happens, you can get this beautiful pillow from Etsy seller Red Panda Gifts for $45(USD).
Not sure what that works out to in rupees though.

There are governments that finish projects on time, use technology to improve performance and protect Americans from imminent harm. Then there’s the State Department’s cybersecurity office. It seems to have a hard time just keeping the lights on.

This week Distro hits its 100th issue. We’ve seen plenty of great content since launching the tablet magazine in October 2011, but one particular section has always been a personal favorite. Hidden at the back of each issue, The Strip features a rotating cast of cartoonists devoting a few panels to the day’s tech news. Since launch, we’ve had a number of top indie artists contribute, including Shannon Wheeler, Box Brown, Dustin Harbin, Sean Pryor, Sam Henderson and Ed Piskor. In the off-chance that you haven’t read every issue — or you just never quite made it to the end of each — we’ve pulled together ten of our favorites cartoons in Distro history. Check those out below, and be sure to pick up the 100th issue later this week for a special take on the future of consumer electronics.

The Name Game
Posted in: Today's Chili(I would like to apologize in advance for how disjointed and all over the place the following entry is. I kept getting distracted so it was written in about 15 different stops and starts and “wait, what was I talking abouts?”)
