Flexible batteries are about as far in development as flexible screens.

It looks like a literal shackle. We always hear how we’re shackled (tethered) to our phones, well now you can do away with the metaphor and wear an actual shackle so that you can always make sure to get those work emails.

One time I was in the middle seat, and fell asleep for a bit on the flight. As I came to, I realized oh, my wife fell asleep on the shoulder, how cute. Then I realized, wait, the stranger to my left has done the same! As she didn’t smell bad and wasn’t drooling I didn’t mind terribly, so I didn’t wake her. I spent a…

I hope this is sarcasm..... How is obesity a social construct, yes there are people who barely eat and gain weight while others can eat a whole cow without a gained pound. This doesn’t mean you should use it as an excuse, more than two third of overweighted people can only blame their self.

A 1952 sci fi short story featured an ear-implantable AI named Dimanche. Everything old is new again.

Reminds me of Jane in the later Ender’s Game books. Not as cool, but hopefully a start.

Maybe it’s oriented like that because the person wearing it works for the company and its easier to show it off that way?

Phones are never upside down because they can re-orient the screen. There’s no reason that well-established paradigm wouldn’t be used here as well.

It looks like phones and wearables will soon merge into one with this tech.

When you go for a run, you simply take your phone out of your pocket and wrap it around your wrist. Then it has all the sensors you need to monitor to your health on the back. Sensors that over time has become smaller and smaller to not require…

Oh right, my bad, I guess being 203cm tall is my fault, I should have stopped growing when I was taller at age 9 than average adult humans. My shoulder-to-shoulder width is almost 2 economy seats equivalent, when I fly and there really is no place with two seats free - which is thankfully rare on short haul EU…

Are those two in the middle-left seat supposed to be children, or just tiny, tiny adult people?

Now instead of just talking to strangers you can cuddle with them as well, which I think we can all agree is what the Wright Brothers really had in mind.

Kind of useless if you think about it.. Google Now automatically reroutes the spoken responses to any bluetooth headset, and im sure there is an app that can send you spoken updates just like this thing does, except bluetooth headsets can be bought for incredibly cheap prices, if you dont already have one laying…

Uh, not a U.S. Supreme Court judge. A New York state judge. New York state trial courts are called “Supreme Courts” (even though they are actually the lowest courts in NY, not the highest as you might think given the word “Supreme”).

Wait... haven’t people been talking about this theory since... like the movie opened?

Why did I click this article when I KNEW from the headline it was just going to piss me off.

I was 13-14 in the mid-70s, and I got a lot of attention from grown men. I was thrilled by it. Boys my age either ignored me, barked at me, or called me names. Adult men talked to me like I was a person, admired me, complemented me. At the time, it was bliss, and I felt it made me special. And thanks mainly to a lack…

“Freezing is a third fear response recognized in the field of psychology but, for some reason, missing from public discourse. Someone tries to put a hand on me; I’m uncomfortable, but I can’t move or speak. “No” is not clear.” http://ladyclever.com/culture/freezi…
