Google mobile 3D search

google mobile 3d search
Imagine walking down the street, and whoa, all of a sudden you're really not sure where you are, so you pull out your magic Google Mobile search stick, take a picture, and Google provides you with your exact coordinates. Now say you are shopping at the local Best Buy and you want to see if some other store has that iPod accessory listed cheaper. Take a picture and Google checks their database and lets you know where you can get it cheaper. Now you are are out on the town with your girl, and you really want to impress her. Take a picture of that nice high priced restaurant to see if it's any good, and Google hand your back some customer ratings.

Wouldn't that kind of tool be great? It's another device to carry around, but the time saved could be phenomenal! Unfortunately, it's not a real product. It's a concept which won an HSBC Innovation Award for designer NG Pei Kang. No it's not real, but he did put some nice thought and pretty drawings together. I wonder if he pitched Google on the idea?

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
