This Empty Lotion Bottle Is a Game Controller, Because Why Not | Game|Life | Wired.com - 0 views

  •  
    A man has created a controller out of an empty lotion bottle, because why not. The creator said that "mouse and keyboard games are pretty common, so I thought I'd make a weird controller." I honestly think that this is a great idea. The character in game is just a lotion bottle with wings. This is probably not a game that anyone would play constantly, but it is a game nonetheless. The fact that he made a controller out of a lotion bottle, surprises me. It makes me think about the many other possibilities that can happen.

Computers and the environment | MNN - Mother Nature Network - 0 views

    According to this article, when it comes to computers and the environment the main concern comes from the consequences created when disposing the machine. Overtime, the amount of computer sales have been skyrocketing. This increase, coupled with changing technology, led to large amounts of electronic waste. The metals commonly found in PC's are aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, palladium, platinum, selenium, silver and zinc. Eight of the metals are listed as hazardous. I think that this article is true. Many people don't understand that computers need to recycled properly. If people were to start recycling their computers, i think our environment would look better.

    This app viaProtect is an app for your iphone that monitors where your data is going and where its coming from. This app makes sure that your data for your phone is secure and you are aware of it. When you use this app, it will analyse your phone and will provide a risk score. this app will not solve all your security problems with your iphone, but it will increase your awareness about where your data is going. I would be interested in using this app but it is only available for iphone. i think that this app is very useful, so you know that your data maybe going somewhere else or coming from somewhere else.

Flappy Bird comeback: Developer Dong Nguyen hints game could return in Rolling Stone in... - 0 views

    This article talks about the possible return of the game flappy bird. This article says that the creator is considering bringing back the game to the app store. When Dong first removed it, the reason was that it had become an addictive product. The reason that he might bring back the app is because he wanted to take a break. I think that he might bring back the app so that he can make money. Originally, he was making 50 000 dollars off ad revenue daily. If I was him, i would have never taken down the app in the first place. It clearly made him a lot of money.

Watch out Kinect, AllSee does gesture control without a camera - 0 views

  •  
    AllSee, a new piece of technology that will probably cause a lot of problems. This product is very similar to the XBOX Kinect, but it does not use the camera that kinect does. Personally, i have not used the Kinect myself, but many people say that it does not respond to movement very well. AllSee, on the other hand will match what Kinect does but without the camera. In my opinion, i think that this product will be very effective. It will probably do better that the Kinect did. This will probably change the way the gesture control is used.

Politics recently, have started to abuse the fact that everyone is on social networks. By advertising on them, they are able to gain a lot of followers and support. Obama specifically, has gained most of his popularity from internet memes. These memes are very comedic and is probably a main cause of his popularity.

Here's the real reason Flappy Bird was removed - 0 views

  •  
    This article gives the real reason why the very popular app "Flappy Bird" was taken down. The creator of the game, Dong Nguyen, took down the game because of its addictiveness. For this reason, he was convinced to remove it. This app is not coming back. Dong's intention was to make this game for playing when you are relaxed. Unfortunately, this game turned out making everybody angry and caused many people to scream their heads off. Also, he received treats from Nintendo, because of the use of Nintendo's pipes and character. Dong said in an interview "my life is not as comfortable as before". Also, the app caused sleep deprivation for him. Many people still have the game on their smartphone and play the very addictive rage inducing game.
