    No. No we should not.

    Yep, same here.

    Fair enough. How many goats for your next smartphone?

    And here's one thing that's less likely - finding 4 shiny mareeps in pokemon X/Y at once: 281,474,976,710,656-to-1 -

    You're right, I'm pretty sure it would explode if you tried to turn it upright.

    The fact that the cat can see it too is actually the most interesting part here I think.

    I own one of the first run CODEs with the clear switches and it's easily the best keyboard I've used so far. I also own a DAS keyboard with Browns, but the CODE feels -far- more solid and reliable. it's just more fun to type on for me personally.

    Honorable mention should also be made for the CODE keyboard by WASDKeyboards: http://codekeyboards.com/ - Jumped on this when it was first released and it's now my work keyboard. It looks and feels way better than my DAS Keyboard at home, and the only minor drawback is that it doesn't have a built-in USB hub.

    The guy at the end of the video was saying that it was the very first flight, so I'm guessing since it was just a test, they probably didn't want to risk pilots just yet.

    Huge Seal is a new, interesting take on the indie bundle concept. After signing in with your Steam account you'll choose 5 coupons for indie games from a list of 30, and buying 3 games with your coupons nets you a free random game from the same list. Coupons only good through Nov. 25.

    Just to clarify, you start out with 5 coupons, but you get a coupon back every time you use one, so effectively you can buy all 35 (not 30) games at a discount if you really want to.

    there's a 'your mom' joke in there somewhere

    Now playing

    Yeah, I also don't think it will catch on and become super popular, but it's just one of those neat little app you can keep around to show someone. Good ice breaker, and conversation topic - "isn't it amazing what modern technology can do?". Kinda reminds me of worldlense, another neat app that I don't use often but

    Works great in Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1) for me.

    Now playing

    Basically it relies on high-contrast points in the image which it can track as you rotate the camera around the subject, and uses them to triangulate the coordinates of the points in the image. As a result the more texture your subject/background has, the better it will be able to triangulate the changes in

    I would give it a little more credit than that. It basically does what this example uses:

    Yep. It finds a dozen points of interest on the image, and with the movement is able to triangulate their positions in 3d space, generating an underlying 3d mesh (similar to what a kinect does) and then projects the original image onto that. Pretty neat.

    Now playing

    And a neat version that shows what it would have looked like from outside the 'box'

    would have to say it looks more like this to me:
