Privacy watch dog voices concerns on Cyber Investigation Debate

Canada's privacy watchdog chimes in on newly proposed internet policing.   http://www.thestar.com/iphone/news/canada/politics/article/1077343--privacy-watchdog-urges-caution-in-beefing-up-surveillance-measures

More people need to get involved with this because the implications of unlimited police power as demonstrated at the G20 in Toronto can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

What will the future look like

There have always been people who have come up with great visions of what the future will be like.  Heck they even made three movies about it; Back to the Future 1,2,3.   Well Microsoft released on October 25th their latest ideas on how the future will be shaped on their officevideos YouTube Channel.  There are some interesting ideas which are highly likely considering a number of emerging technologies.  For example in the video the idea of 3D imaging without glasses from your phone, tablet, computer, or tv are already in development and have been showcased at CES in past years.  The release of Google Wallet and upcoming Chip Phones definitely will make it possible to use your phone as your hotel room key.  As well as Canesta's gesture control which the Kinect is based will easily provide the ability to move images, documents or holograms between screens.  Nokia's demo flex-phone is the first in what will likely be the paper or credit style phones.  While I think cars may look a little different than the video shows its still interesting watching.  Check it out below.  Look out for my upcoming post of what Mississauga will look like in the future.

Calling Dick Tracy

As a kid I always wanted a watch like Dick Tracy.  A watch you could use to talk or communicate with other people.Well the day may finally be here.   More and more companies are producing computer watches.  The latest contender is the Android based I'mWatch.  Check out the details here.

Frosty

 

Frosty morning to ya!  Well it seems that the early chills of winter have appeared.  It was rather frosty this morning here in Mississauga.  The summer colors are fading into the greys of winter's bite.  Not to put a damper on the day but Blogging B is busting out his new winter gear just because I do a little walking on my way to the mill.  Well the snow boarders, skaters, hockey players, soup lovers and photographers who love snow and icicles' will likely begin gearing up for the coming season.  So if you haven't got you're gear in check get out there to the malls before the Christmas madness begins and stock up on your gloves, hats, and boots.  As they keep saying in Games of Thrones "Winter is coming!"

In the lead

Its day two of testing Android blogging apps and so far in the lead is..... Wait for it.... BloggerDroid.  So far this app has impressed me.

Testing blogging apps

Its been about 3 months since the launch of Bloggin Blodgett. To date I have been using both pc and mobile platforms, no tablets yet, we have yet to earn the funds to purchase a Galaxy Tab, yes I'm a Samsung type of dude. Anyone want to buy Bloggin B one holla at you boy lol. I do amuse myself at times but back to the topic at hand..... Bloggin.. Android....mobile... Apps.

I have to date been using Google's Blogger app which quite frankly is frustrating. There are a lot of things missing from it and useability is at best limited to basic text posting on onr account and at worst very limited and unreliable kind of suprising since Google has in many ways been the pioneers. So for the next month I will be comparing 3 Apps; Blogger, BloggerDroid, Blogaway. Actually this is the first post using BloggerDroid. So next month Bloggin B will share his thoughts. Have a good one!
