In this case, Mike (Gabe) has been using Glass for a couple of days (week?). He actually posted his thoughts on it and one of the issues was the rudeness in pointing a camera an mike at everyone.
Pelayo | 13 years ago | on: How to Download Your Instagram Photos and Kill Your Account
Does anyone what the legal implications are if someone takes a picture of my baby and Instagram sells it to somebody for an ad? Would they need some sort of release?
Because I can delete my own photos but what what happens with other people's?
Pelayo | 13 years ago | on: 15 Years after the First Slashdot Post
Slashdot has been the only site where I've been able to spend two hours learning about hard drive technology just by reading comments. Good times...

I know their strategy is "everything online", but if 20+ million people are using it (from the article) then that market doesn't look like such a waste of time, does it?
Pelayo | 13 years ago | on: Dear Marketers: Enough with the QR codes
Here in Chile, Nike put a QR code in an ad for a 10k run. It took you to a site with some information... unfortunately it was in flash so iPhones couldn't view it.

That's one thing I've never understood. Why is the power grid connected to the Internet? Does it need to be?

They should apply this during movie fighting scenes. Then we might actually see the fight instead of the blur caused by "exciting cameras".

I loved how he checks for counterfeit fun passes! "The check mark" on the calculator. So cool.

And excluding gonzo journalists like Hunter S. Thompson.
Pelayo | 14 years ago | on: What Happens to the Coke in Coca-Cola?
Here in Chile Coke is still made with sugar.
For my honeymoon I went to the US and found that the Coke over there was undrinkable. Since they're using HFCS the drink is much more bitter instead of sweet so I can understand why Pepsi does slightly better in the US.
It made me kind if sad being a long time Coke fan.
Pelayo | 14 years ago | on: Tesla: Not so easily bricked
Though I could easily believe that there was a coordinated attack against electric vehicles (I can think of a few groups), the response doesn't refute the previous article but tries to defend through vocabulary.
If you leave the car unplugged for a long period of time the battery will be ruined. If the battery is one huge battery pack or 8000 smaller batteries doesn't matter.
Also, having a car plugged in for months is a lot different that driving cross country with no oil.
Pelayo | 14 years ago | on: Megaupload Founder Kim Dotcom Released From Prison
"Dotcom had been held in custody since an anti-terrorist police squad raided his Coatesville mansion last month..."
Doesn't anyone find it odd that the entertainment industry can manipulate governments into sending these specialized teams (anti-terrorist in New Zealand, SWAT in the US)? What are they telling these people? Are you telling me that if the police had sent over one or two squad cars with a couple of cops that Dotcom would have escaped?
How much does an operation like this cost? I can't believe it's that cheap.

And anything that starts with "Look...".
Pelayo | 14 years ago | on: Reddit to go dark on Jan 18 to protest SOPA
Is blacking out HN really necessary? Is there anyone here that doesn't know about SOPA/PIPA and the threat they represent?(I would ask the same about reddit but since I don't read the site I don't know if they have a broader demo)
I suppose the whole point in doing the blackout would be to draw attention to people who haven't realized there is problem.
Pelayo | 14 years ago | on: The Greatest Paper Map of the United States You’ll Ever See
The article says he used a computer to draw the map. Does anyone know what software he used? Is it something specialized or just Photoshop? I couldn't find it in the article.

And they become the first to celebrate the new year on the last new year there will ever be.

She agreed to a search.
There are still doubts about the safety of the scanners. They have not been tested.

Saved my work on remote servers too many times to count. :)

What are these "CD"s you speak of?

My best guess would be people upgrading from a feature phone to a smartphone for the first time. They might buy a really low end Windows phone because of Nokia (they dominated the market for ages) but I have never seen a high end one here in the wild.
