I am quite sure that many of us have heard of Wacom before, the company that churns out digitizer tablets (an example which you can see in the image above) for digital artists and the like. Apparently, the company is working on a new protocol known as WILL, where it will be cross platform in order to play nice across computers and mobile devices. WILL is the acronym for Wacom Ink Layer Language, as Wacom claims the industry needs is “a universal and open standard for digital inking which will allow users to work across OS, hardware platforms and Cloud services.” It is believed that this effort will eventually result in a greater degree of collaboration and information sharing when it comes to pen-based input data.

The Samsung Galaxy S5, a next generation smartphone that was recently unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, is certainly a handset that is on course to make waves in whichever market that it rolls out in. Will it be able to do better than the Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S3 when those were released? Perhaps, as T-Mobile has already reported that the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone’s pre-registration figure has touched a new record, where a gain of at least 100,000 interested parties were registered in a matter of just two days.

Volvo, the Swedish car manufacturer who has long taken pride in rolling out what many deem to be one of the safest cars in the world, is always at the forefront of innovation and technology to boot. There has also been a fair amount of product placement by Volvo before, including appearing on the silver screen in the Twilight series. We have received word that Volvo’s most recent “human machine interface” will make its debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show, but it might not be as complicated as what the other competitors would offer. The display itself will be divided into tiles, where one will be able to gain access to navigation, media and vehicle information right on top, while there will be secondary features that include phone and climate controls which are located further down.

Allegories abound in this macabre tale of runaway industrialism in post-World War Europe. An enterprising defense contractor replaces his inefficient human workforce with mechanical monstrosities, a move that doesn’t sit well with his former employees. Returning with the hammer and sickle of socialist justice, one ex-bomb-maker attempts to enact his revenge, only to find that this military-industrial complex runs far deeper than anyone imagined.

Posted in: Today's ChiliThe Google Barge, which happens to be a floating showroom, did receive its marching orders – or should I say, floating orders, recently, and it is rumored to set sail for its new home, which would see it leave its existing construction site on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay in the general direction of Stockton, California. According to Mirian Saez, head of Island operations for the Treasure Island Development Authority, who is also in charge of leases on Treasure Island, did confirm that the Google Barge could make its way to Stockton as early as next week, depending on how the skies “perform”.
