    I know they are two different things but, if we can do things like this, why is the kindle so freakin crappy? So someone thought it was a great idea to make a book digital by putting it on a giant calculator. Guess what, I did that in high school with my TI83 calculator. Where is my big money?

    @iwishiwasjeff: Well all joking comments aside the innovation in the kindle has always been the e-ink display.

    Its not a giant calculator because the whole technology is completely different. Calculators always used LCDs (or LEDs if its really, really old) which brings in backlighting, power, all the other concerns that always made LCDs not ideal for e-books. E-ink is pretty much ink on paper that can be changed with a current. It doesn't need constant power, the contrast is such that you don't need a backlight, and in the not to distant future its likely to be flexible.

    Thats why you weren't doing it in high school. Your prowess with a calculator isn't accurate either.

    I didn't see it on CNN, but looking at it here, it is pretty cool. It's also kind of cool that Wolf Blitzer's a robot and Larry King is a gnome.

    To paraphrase myself:


    When you use technology to enable someone describe where she is and what is around her when it would be easier to actually show where she is and what is around her, then the technology is meaningless.


    (I did like when AC tried to justify its use with .w.i.l!l?ia...m.; "We're using this because it's quieter this way!" Yes AC, that's certainly reasonable.)

    It was marginally cool, but mostly stupid. Seriously, what is wrong with the regular way of doing it, with one camera and one microphone?


    It all reminded me of Fred Armisen moving the states around on Weekend Update. And Star Wars. Just a little.

    If they can somehow combine this technology with the Japanese virtual reality schoolgirl thingy from a few posts back, maybe the news will get more interesting.

    I really liked the multitouch touchscreen they used on CNN way better than any of the gimmicks they've tried in the past. It actually was put to pretty good use when they started going through the map and assigning possible wins for either side, and showing those "paths to 270".


    Hologram was stupid. I didn't see a point to it. I's rather they just split the screen and have whoever they are interviewing sitting there.
