Microsoft's HoloLens headset is designed to bridge the gap between digital and real — and the best examples of that convergence are apparently all motorcycle-related. Case in point: The company released two videos presenting its vision of HoloLens, each showcasing things like playing Minecraft in a living room and walking on Mars. But mostly it's about designing and maintaining the perfect two-wheeler.
OneDrive will soon be able to support music. At today's Microsoft Windows 10 event, Joe Belfiore said that the feature will be added "in about a month or two months." Up until now, OneDrive was focused on just photo and document sharing. The universal music application shown on stage appeared to be new, but there was no specific announcement during the presentation. As of right now, the basic storage level of OneDrive is 15GB.
We got our first look at a bunch of features in Windows 10, which comes out next week for people who signed up for the pre-release. As expected, Microsoft made a strong push toward connecting its devices more seamlessly, part of its universal apps program. Office, Outlook, and other apps all work quite similarly across devices, and Cortana is everywhere, working as a natural-language interface and personal assistant. The big surprise, however, was Microsoft’s foray into virtual reality, with its HoloLens glasses, an ambitious bid to create a system for overlaying holographic images over the real world.
Despite our recent insistence that robots are getting cuter, recent developments suggest otherwise. The Google-owned technology lab Boston Dynamics has redesigned its anthropomorphic humanoid robot Atlas, Gizmodo reports. The rebuild scraps 75 percent of the bot's original structure, and the result is not so huggable.
I wish I had bought a better camera sooner.
The past decade — my first date with my wife to our marriage, the Kansas City Royals’ worst seasons to their World Series run, college, jobs, and everything in between — has been captured on my cellphone camera. Like beer and pop music, it was easy to make do with what’s cheap and available, only to look back on a life of Dave Matthews and Bud Light and wonder why I’d gotten by on “good enough.” I regret that. |
