When Google says that they want “to organize all the world’s information,” they’re not kidding around. Today, Google launched Art Project, a wonderful collection of features that allow you to explore the world’s greatest museums and works of art, from your home, using Google’s Street View technology (for exploring the insides of the galleries) and [...]

I love it when people take off-the-shelf hardware and start making new things with it. The new Microsoft Kinect camera is essentially a depth camera and can be used, quite successfully as you will see, to create live 3D imagery.

I’m quite excited to see all of the advances in ebook technology being shown off at CES this week, especially since they stand to move us a lot further down the path of a paperless society. Personally, I wouldn’t mind never using paper again. I get bummed evry time I shop and am handed a [...]

I must say, I really like how Google and Bing both work a bit of serendipity into their search engines these days. It helps to go to the site and see a dash of playfulness and personality and adds a human touch, a feeling that there is some editor working on pleasantly surprising the users [...]
