TED: Augmented reality using Bing maps

AmateurD says...

When I saw their TED tech demo for PhotoSynth 3 years ago, my jaw hit the floor. Never did I imagine it would be implemented like this. This took the awe I had the first time around, and multiplied it by 10. I literally could not stop saying OH MY GOD out loud when I saw they had live video syncing with the already impressive still image gallery.

I love Google Maps. I own a Droid. But if this hits mainstream, Bing Maps would quickly become the new king. This could put Bing close to even footing to Google as a search engine. That's how impressive this is.

Warning: extremely graphic: "Vice Guide To Liberia"

AmateurD says...

You know how after a cop sees or goes through hell, and as soon as they're out of it the first thing they want to do is call their family to tell them he loves them? That's what I want to do with my country right now.

I can't believe large groups of people buy into this crap. Seriously. There are people out there that otherwise lead average intelligences that soak this stuff up as gospel. Makes me weep inside.

Al Franken shows us how it's done.

Binding arbitration has been a barn sized loophole in our justice system that companies have been exploiting for years. Take a look at your cell phone contract, I can almost guarantee there's a binding arbitration clause in there. Thankfully in recent months the government has been cracking down this, with this past week being a huge step (the vote Franken mentions near the beginning).

I don't live anywhere near Franken's jurisdiction, but in the short time he's been a senator, he's been impressing me more and more. Which is something I very rarely get to say in politics.

Awesome music: rhymes clips from the best of TV and film.

AmateurD says...

Being able to rhyme the same Ghostbusters clip so many different ways was impressive, but the upvote really goes to the inclusion of one of my favorite Sesame Street bits as a kid. "Beady eyes and big blue head" indeed.

Football Play Failure

AmateurD says...

The spike in the endzone counts a fumble, as the play wasn't dead yet. As such, it's still a live ball, and open for grabs. So long as that ball is still live, the game keeps going. All he'd have to do is go down and the game would be over, but instead he just about literally handed the game over.
