		<description><![CDATA[Chris Hadfield, on behalf of my comrades here on Earth, we salute your return to terra firma. While you were cooped up inside the International Space Station as its first Canadian commander from late December 2012 until recently, you submitted several videos to YouTube; videos containing tasks that, if performed here on Earth, would have drawn the nastiest of the nasty YouTube comments based solely on the relatively mundane nature of the things you did in these videos. BUT! Since you sent them from the International Space Station, everything was exponentially more exciting and interesting. Unsurprisingly, there were still nasty YouTube comments, but no space station in the galaxy can fix that. Here are your greatest hits, good sir: You showed us how to cry. You didn&#8217;t actually cry, but you&#8217;re manly enough to be okay with crying. You showed us how to brush our teeth. It&#8217;s kind of like when you go camping, except everything keeps floating away. You showed us how to shave. Dangers include breathing in your own whiskers and whiskers getting into the computers. This is why I don&#8217;t shave on Earth, just in case. You showed us how to sleep. Space jammies. Aw, yeah. Everything about this looks incredible. You&#8217;re like a man-sized space baby. You showed us how to eat. Peanut butter and honey on a tortilla, eh? Still too complicated for me, but it looks good nonetheless. You showed us how to wash our hands. Way, way, way more fun in zero-gravity. You showed us how to stay in shape. And like every YouTube video, it got turned into some sort of shimmy or shake or shuffle. You showed us how to puke and what to do with it afterwards. This is why there are no colleges in space. You showed us how to drink our own sweat, wastewater and &#8212; yes &#8212; even pee. I&#8217;ll be honest: Your way is less disturbing than the opening scene of Waterworld. Marginally less disturbing, but less disturbing all the same. Your filtration system seems more advanced<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162781&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; Roger Corman&#8217;s campy B movies, children&#8217;s shows like &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; and &#8220;Inspector Gadget,&#8221; and inspirational monologues by celebrities &#8211; these are among the offerings on 30 channels that will soon require a paid monthly subscription on YouTube. Although the world&#8217;s largest video site has rented and sold movies and TV shows from major studios since late 2008, most people watch videos on YouTube for free. It&#8217;s the first time YouTube is introducing all-you-can-watch channels that require a monthly fee. The least expensive of the channels at will cost 99 cents a month but the average price is around $2.99. In the field of paid video content online, YouTube is playing catch up to services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, all of which have millions of paying customers. But with a billion monthly visitors from around the globe, the Google-owned video service hopes to quickly add subscribers and add to the money it already makes from online advertising. &#8220;This is just the beginning,&#8221; said Malik Ducard, YouTube&#8217;s director of content partnerships. The site plans to roll out a way for a broad number of partners to also launch pay channels on their own soon. Corman, a producer and director whose influential cult classics like &#8220;Deathrace 2000&#8243; and &#8220;Piranha&#8221; earned him an honorary Oscar in 2009, said he&#8217;s kept his 400-film library off of video streaming sites until now. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said he turned down an offer from Hulu for about $5,000 to $6,000 per film several years ago, but sees promise in the YouTube offering. His channel, &#8220;Corman&#8217;s Drive-in,&#8221; will cost subscribers $3.99 per month for a rotating selection of 30 movies, refreshed with new interviews and clips from films that are in production. It is set to launch in June. &#8220;I believed for many years that the future of motion picture distribution, particularly for the independents, is on the Internet,&#8221; said the 87-year-old director. &#8220;I think the time is now.&#8221; YouTube will keep slightly less than half of the revenue<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162496&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spend much time watching streaming video? How do your YouTube watching tastes size up against the rest of the nation? Now, thanks to the YouTube Trends Map, you can take a look at which videos are the hottest in your part of the country – and all across America. The new map is more revealing than you’d immediately think. It shows off a huge cultural split across the country. In heavily Republican Twin Falls, Idaho, a video of Glenn Beck knocking Obama is the most shared; the South and Midwest prefer the country styling of Alan Jackson and Blake Shelton, respectively. And in pop-media-savvy New York City and Los Angeles, a promo video for a new Russian band called The Clood is going viral. Even cooler still, you can spot a few highly localized videos on the map. Minnesota viewers are going crazy over a video showing two lynx spotted by Sawbill Lake in the state. Louisiana’s top pick is a highlight reel for LSU’s recently drafted Eric Reid. And the award for the most enjoyable local video in the nation goes to Oneonta, New York’s video We Are Oneonta, an extremely well produced video showing off what the city of 14,000 has to offer, from restaurants to roller derby. The YouTube trends dashboard also lets see what other demographics are watching. Female viewers, for example, are watching True Blood’s Season 6 Trailer more than any other video. And for those aged 35-44, the most popular video is the latest from Queens of the Stone Age, a band that formed 17 years ago. If you’re wondering what’s topping the charts in your neck of the woods, you can visit the YouTube trends map at www.youtube.com/trendsmap. And let us know what’s hot where you are in the comments!

		<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; YouTube is set to announce within a few weeks a series of channels that will require payment, a person familiar with the matter said Monday. The content on the new pay channels will be in addition to the millions of videos viewers watch for free on YouTube. It&#8217;s not clear whether the paid videos will come with advertising. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The Financial Times reported earlier that viewers would be charged as little as $1.99 a month for subscriptions. In a statement, YouTube said it is looking into creating a &#8220;subscription platform&#8221; that provides its partners with a way to generate revenue beyond video rentals and placing ads in and around content. It said, however, that it had &#8220;nothing to announce at this time.&#8221; Executives hinted at the coming pay channels at a preview event in March ahead of a meeting in New York with advertisers. Such a model could help video producers make money from niche audiences. That&#8217;s different from how YouTube works now, where the most popular videos, like PSY&#8217;s &#8220;Gangnam Style&#8221; music video, make the most money from advertising. One example given by executives was of video lessons by a computer science teacher. &#8220;For people who create great value but for only a narrow interest group, I think that the potential for pay channels unlocks opportunities for creating revenue streams,&#8221; said Lucas Watson, YouTube&#8217;s vice president of sales and marketing, at the time. Introducing pay channels would also accustom fans of YouTube to paying for content, something the site is not known for, although it has sold and rented movies and TV shows from major studios since late 2008. &#8220;It&#8217;s a whole new skill set to develop: to convince people to actually take out their credit card, even for one cent,&#8221; said Robert Kyncl, YouTube&#8217;s vice president and global head of content partnerships, told reporters at the March event. Google Inc. bought YouTube for $1.76 billion in 2006 when the video site<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=162309&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Boy and His Atom is less than 90 seconds long. It doesn&#8217;t have much of a plot, or any big laughs. And the animation is rudimentary — it&#8217;s monochromatic, blocky and generally reminiscent of the graphics I programmed on my Radio Shack TRS-80 computer in 1978, only not quite as fancy. And yet IBM’s new cartoon — yes, IBM made a cartoon — is remarkable. It was produced at IBM Research&#8217;s Almaden Research Center in Northern California, by a bunch of scientists who used a scanning tunneling microscope as their animation tool. The pixels are individual atoms, nudged into place to form a picture. (The Guinness folks have certified this as the smallest movie ever made.) IBM has been playing around with individual atoms for a long time: two of its Zurich-based researchers invented the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981 and won the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 1986. The company&#8217;s Silicon Valley lab — where the hard disk was born in 1956 — uses the microscope to explore futuristic storage technologies. By using a tiny magnet, it&#8217;s shown that it&#8217;s possible to store one bit of information using 12 atoms, versus the 1 million atoms a hard drive needs to do the job. That discovery could eventually lead to digital storage that crams radically more data into far less space than any existing technology. IBM IBM&#8217;s atomic-animation equipment The microscope needs &#8220;a low temperature in a very, very clean environment, so the only atoms that are there are the ones we want to be there,&#8221; says IBM researcher Andreas Heinrich. &#8220;The devil is in the details, as usual — it&#8217;s a complicated machine, but it can work very reliably.&#8221; It occurred to the Almaden researchers that if you can use a subminiature magnet to flip bits on and off, you could also use it to create frames of animation. Over roughly 10 18-hour workdays, a team of four people created the cartoon, with storytelling assistance from an animation company called 1st Ave. Machine. Using the microscope to<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161293&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made no secret of my love for Rdio (see Dear Rdio: I Like You. Please Don’t Die.), the streaming music service that competes with Spotify and, in my view, offers a slicker design and better features than its more established rival. But I&#8217;ve also worried that while Spotify ascends, Rdio could be yet another great music service bound for the scrap heap. So imagine my dismay a few weeks ago when the folks behind Rdio announced a new streaming TV and movie service, dubbed Vdio. Unlike its musical sibling, Vdio isn&#8217;t subscription-based. It&#8217;s all a la carte, similar to iTunes&#8217; video store. Its main hooks are the ability to connect with other Vdio users to see what they&#8217;re watching, and to build &#8220;Sets&#8221; of shows that are the equivalent of music playlists. (At the moment, it&#8217;s only available to existing Rdio subscribers.) Jared Newman / TIME.com My concern was that this new video service would subtract from Rdio&#8217;s focus on music. But I figured I&#8217;d reserve judgment until I actually gave Vdio a try. I finally got my chance this weekend, thanks to a $25 credit Vdio is offering to Rdio users&#8211;just enough money to catch up on season 5 of Breaking Bad. Sadly, this will probably be the last time I use Vdio. The service is troubled in so many ways that it&#8217;s hard to imagine anyone wanting to use it. The problems began with the sign-up process. Right away, Vdio warns you that sharing your viewing activity is mandatory. I regret not getting a screen capture of this initial disclaimer, but the site&#8217;s sharing policy makes it clear: IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THE SHARING AND/OR PUBLIC DISPLAY OF YOUR VIEWING ACTIVITY, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO VIEW THE VIDEO CONTENT THROUGH THE VDIO SERVICE. In fairness, you can &#8220;protect&#8221; your account, preventing strangers from following you without permission. But this option is buried in the &#8220;Advanced&#8221; section of settings, and it&#8217;s disabled by default. Apparently, Rdio works the same way, and I hadn&#8217;t realized it. Sharing<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161242&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t given a nanosecond&#039;s thought to Qwikster &#8212; the weird name Netflix gave to its aborted plan to spin off its DVD-by-mail business &#8212; since 2011. But it comes up in a New York Times story today by James B. Stewart, in which Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he felt horrible about the whole debacle, which also included an unpopular price hike. I admire Stewart&#039;s work and hoped that his article would finally explain how a company as smart as Netflix could have come up with an idea as terrible as Qwikster. But it doesn&#039;t. In fact, the whole issue is a bit of a muddle in the piece. It lauds Hastings for an apologetic 2011 blog post and links to a mea culpa video. But the post and the video only apologize for doing a bad job at explaining the price hike &#8212; and then they segue into announcing Qwikster. (The video is misleadingly labeled on YouTube &#8212; it&#039;s called &#8220;Netflix CEO Reed Hastings Apologizes for Mishandling the Change to Qwikster.&#8221;) In other words, Hastings, who was trying to undo a mistake, ended up digging himself deeper into a hole. A month later, Netflix decided that Qwikster wasn&#8217;t such a hot idea after all. Today, Netflix has more than recovered: it&#039;s back to being beloved and is doing interesting and innovative things such as going head-to-head with HBO via exclusive programming like the U.S. version of House of Cards. I hope Hastings doesn&#039;t spend much time feeling guilty about the company&#039;s midlife crisis of 2011. But I&#039;d still love to understand just what happened.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=161198&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Quartz, Kevin Ashton has a thorough piece explaining how the Harlem Shake wasn&#8217;t so much a meme in the traditional sense, but the work of corporations pushing something identified as &#8220;pre-viral&#8221; into full-fledged madness: Experts said the “Harlem Shake” phenomenon was emergent behavior from the hive mind of the internet—accidental, ad hoc, uncoordinated: a “meme” that “went viral.” But this is untrue. The real story of the “Harlem Shake” shows how much popular culture has changed and how much it has stayed the same&#8230; The myth of the “Harlem Shake” is that its viral spread was spontaneous, not directed by financial interests—a pop culture, popular uprising. Here’s how the meme and the myth began. You didn’t make the Harlem Shake go viral—corporations did [Quartz]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159221&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Will wonders never cease? Nintendo&#8217;s Wii U, presently the slowest video game console when it comes to opening and closing apps &#8212; possibly in the history of video game consoles &#8212; was apparently just doused in heavy water vapors. No really, check out the video above. You know how the Wii U can&#8217;t turn on a dime or a quarter or a semi-sized hubcap? Nintendo&#8217;s apparently fixed that, and they&#8217;re offering documentary proof. When I reviewed the Wii U back in November, I noted the following timings: From the main menu, tapping “System Settings” took 14 seconds to load. Exiting back to the Wii U Menu took another 20 seconds. Again, from the main menu, tapping the Netflix icon took 33 seconds to load (for this, I blame Netflix, since it’s equally slow to load on my Xbox 360, PS3 and Apple TV), but exiting back to the Wii U Menu took an unbelievable 30 seconds to load. I tested this repeatedly with everything else and consistently clocked 20-30 seconds whenever reloading the Wii U Menu. You see the problem. Launch and exit a dozen apps in an hour and you’ll spend roughly as many minutes staring at load screens. The Wii U’s icon-driven, multi-screen menu system may look like iOS, but it’s nothing like it performance-wise. So basically if you&#8217;re a Wii U user, you&#8217;ve been living with a dog-slow system from a navigational perspective for months. Nintendo promised a while back that it would remedy this in a major April update. The video above illustrates what we can probably expect when that update hits. Judging from the video, the speedup delivers: a wait-time drop from 21.5 seconds to just 8.3 (that&#8217;s according to my iPhone&#8217;s stopwatch, clicking &#8220;start&#8221; as soon as the person in the video tapped &#8220;Wii U Menu&#8221; and &#8220;stop&#8221; the second the menu icons finally appeared). While eight seconds is still a leap from something like iOS&#8217;s ability to instantaneously back out of an app, I&#8217;ll take it. I&#8217;d still like to know, however, why it<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159009&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When YouTube first hit the web back in 2005, it attracted attention simply by making Internet video-watching simple rather than a glitchy hassle &#8212; and the fact that large numbers of real people used it to share their mini-movies with the world was a novelty in itself. That was a long, long time ago. Today, with four billion hours of viewership a month, YouTube is more popular than ever. But it&#8217;s also part of an Internet that&#8217;s radically different than it was when YouTube was young. Today, when YouTube videos become monstrous hits &#8212; such as the multiple versions of the Harlem Shake, which have scored tens of millions of views apiece in just weeks &#8212; it&#8217;s because people have shared them on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other social networks that were either new or nonexistent in 2005. Video created for YouTube is increasingly slick and professional, which makes it more directly competitive with conventional television programming. And while plenty of folks still use the service in its traditional, browser-based form, they&#8217;re also watching video on phones, tablets, HDTVs and just about every gizmo with a screen. I recently sat down with YouTube Director of Product Management Shiva Rajaraman to talk about how YouTube is evolving to reflect where Internet video is in 2013, and where it&#8217;s going. Executive summary: The company&#8217;s vision involves it being irresistibly easy to find and watch YouTube video, on every video-capable gadget you&#8217;ve got. YouTube, of course, built its popularity on bite-sized videos. It now offers longer-form items &#8212; even recent feature films &#8212; but it&#8217;s still dominated by quick-hit fare that&#8217;s consumable in small amounts. That has its benefits: &#8220;If you&#8217;re watching YouTube at work and you&#8217;re in front of your desktop, you&#8217;ll probably limit your watching to one video,&#8221; Rajaraman told me. Elsewhere, however, you might be willing to watch lots of videos &#8212; a scenario that&#8217;s important to YouTube&#8217;s bottom line, since it means you&#8217;ll be exposed to more ads. So even if you&#8217;re more likely than ever to arrive at<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=157460&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me, the most tantalizing thing about Aereo &#8212; the startup, backed by Barry Diller&#8217;s IAC, which let you watch live and time-shifted broadcast TV over the Internet on a TV or iOS device &#8212; isn&#8217;t the fact that the big TV networks are suing it. Nor is it the company&#8217;s technology, which involves pulling in TV signals using arrays of dime-sized microantennae on the roofs of data centers, with each antenna delivering broadcasts across the Net to a particular Aereo subscriber. No, I&#8217;m most intrigued by the way Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia keeps predicting that Aereo and services like it will help bring on the demise of the cable bundle, which has so many of us paying well over $100 a month for vast quantities of channels we&#8217;ll never, ever watch. To pick a self-referential metaphor, it&#8217;s as if you had to subscribe to an entire newsstand&#8217;s worth of magazines simply to get TIME delivered to your home. If that business model ever gives way to a more à la carte approach, I&#8217;ll be thrilled. Harry McCracken / TIME.com Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia at SXSW Interactive At South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, I checked in with Kanojia to talk about Aereo and the future of TV. I started by asking him when his service, currently available only in parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, might reach my home in the Bay Area so I could try it out for myself; he chuckled and said that he hopes it might happen in the first half of this year &#8212; but for now, the company is focusing on the 22 cities it plans to add by the spring, none of which are on the West Coast. So far, according to Kanojia, half of Aereo subscribers are cable subscribers, most often using the service on their second or third TV sets. (You can watch it on TV via a Roku box, or by using an iOS device with AirPlay.) The other half don&#8217;t have cable at all &#8212; in many<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=158164&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s weird but true: of all the countless standalone Internet-TV-streaming boxes which have appeared over the past few years, just two have been unqualified successes. One is Apple TV. The other is Roku, which has thrived by offering a vast selection of stuff, driving prices down as low as $49.99  and otherwise not changing a whole lot. Its sheer simplicity is its strong suit. But it also presents a challenge. When Roku&#8217;s box debuted in 2008, it was called the Netflix player and boasted a single channel of content. Today, it has more than 750 of them, including major movie channels, music, sports, a bevy of specialty stations and 50 games. The interface, however, hasn&#8217;t evolved much since it just had a handful of items to choose from. Though still pleasingly straightforward, it&#8217;s not scaled to the quantity of offerings at hand. Roku Enter the Roku 3, which is available online now and in stores next month. Replacing the current high-end version, the $99.99 Roku 2 XS, it&#8217;s not a radical departure from a hardware standpoint. The case, which is swoopier but about the same size, packs a faster processor and more robust 2&#215;2 dual-band wifi for snappier performance and more glitch-free streaming. The wireless remote control still incorporates motion sensors for use in casual games such as Angry Birds; now it also has a headphone jack, letting you listen to TV in bed without annoying your spouse. (The box comes with earbuds in Roku&#8217;s signature purple, but you can also use your own; basically, it turns any headphones into wireless headphones.) What&#8217;s most significant about the new Roku, though, is its new interface &#8212; and one of the most significant things about it is that it doesn&#8217;t set out to be an interesting new interface. For everything that&#8217;s new, which is an awful lot, it still looks like the overarching goal is to fade into the background rather than call attention to itself. (I got a bit of hands-on time with it during a recent briefing by Roku executives.) Until<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=157670&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have covered BigDog before. BigDog is the aptly-named, big, dog-like robot from Boston Dynamics that, according to the company, &#8220;is a rough-terrain robot that walks, runs, climbs and carries heavy loads.&#8221; The project is funded by DARPA, as are several other Boston Dynamics robots &#8212; the company has posted several videos of the robots in action on its YouTube channel. Here&#8217;s PETMAN: He can do push-ups and you can&#8217;t knock him off-balance. Here&#8217;s Cheetah Robot: It can run 28.3 miles per hour. And here&#8217;s a BigDog greatest hits montage of sorts: I&#8217;m trying unsuccessfully to avoid referring to BigDog as a scary robot, since it&#8217;s been done a thousand times before on a thousand different blogs. But look at those guys trying to kick BigDog off-balance and watch BigDog scramble back to its feet. Nice doggie. I&#8217;m an American. I&#8217;m on your team. And here we have the latest BigDog video, wherein Boston Dynamics has outfitted man&#8217;s best friend with the ability to whip cinder blocks around: According to Gizmag: Key to this work, funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, is that BigDog uses the dynamic forces of its whole body to help it throw the cinder block. It begins by taking several steps to the side before quickly accelerating as it swings its arm, temporarily launching itself into the air in the process. This approach is similar to the way an athlete winds up before throwing a discus, for example, and greatly enhances the robot&#8217;s throwing power. Since few robots are as capable as BigDog when it comes to balance, it&#8217;s an excellent platform to test these sorts of strenuous actions. Is BigDog&#8217;s cinder block-throwing feature useful in the real world? I don&#8217;t know. Probably! My iPhone came preloaded with a compass app that I never use, but it&#8217;s nice to know that it&#8217;s there. And I&#8217;d surely pony up for a consumer version of BigDog that could lightly &#8212; lightly! &#8212; toss various consumable items from the kitchen to the living room. BigDog grabs, lifts, and throws cinder blocks<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=157446&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;OK Glass, record a video.&#8221; Imagine a bunch of people murmuring to themselves in public, each phrase beginning with &#8220;OK Glass.&#8221; That&#8217;ll be the future if Google has its way. In a new video for its high-tech Google Glass product – think of it like wearing your smartphone on your head and having the screen projected in front of you &#8212; the search giant shows off a whole bunch of first-person footage, along with a few of the voice prompts used to get Glass to do your bidding. I have to admit, it all looks pretty slick – and I&#8217;m by no means saying I wouldn&#8217;t use something like this once the price drops considerably. But I&#8217;m not big on voice commands for everything. I&#8217;d rather type quietly, especially while in public. In the technology world, we&#8217;ve had several fashionably questionable eras; most recently, cell phones on belt loops and Bluetooth headsets permanently sticking out of people&#8217;s ears even when they&#8217;re not on a call. The next era might very well be hordes of people walking around with these glasses on, talking to themselves. Or imagine asking someone for directions and getting the &#8220;I&#8217;m busy&#8221; index finger as they seemingly stare off into the distance. They&#8217;ll be watching some video or sending some photo to one of their friends. Don&#8217;t interrupt them! The idea, I suppose, is that you should just have these glasses yourself so you won&#8217;t need to ask people for directions. Perhaps we&#8217;ll see a happy medium where instead of people staring down at their phones like they do now, or talking to themselves constantly to control the glasses, we&#8217;ll just stare down at Bluetooth keyboards that are connected to the glasses so we don&#8217;t have to say everything out loud. While it still seems that Google Glass won&#8217;t be making it to general consumers in the near-near future, Google&#8217;s got a site dedicated to the project up, complete with the above video, an overview of features and how you can buy Google Glass early.

		<description><![CDATA[Winter Storm Nemo, or whatever it was or wasn&#8217;t called, whipped through the Northeast and dumped a lot of snow on a lot of good people. People like me in Boston. Look at my car up there. LOOK AT IT! I probably won&#8217;t end up driving it again until sometime this summer. It&#8217;s too much trouble to dig it out, and I&#8217;m a blogger. Thanks to how the Internet works, I can literally stay holed up in my house for months. Anyway, I thought I&#8217;d join hundreds of other people on YouTube by making a time-lapse video of the storm bringing two+ feet of pure, unadulterated inconvenience into my life. But as the opposite of luck would have it, the very same storm iced up my windows so badly that the 30 hours of footage I shot are about as exciting in real time as they are revved to 10,000% their original speed. That doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t great time-lapse videos of this historic jerk of a storm, though. Here are five. Run, little gnome! Save yourself! Shot in Gilford, New Hampshire. Watch the tides going up and down in the background. Shot in Manorhaven, New York. This is pretty much what my backyard looks like, too. Shot in Boston, Massachusetts. Check out how fast the snow piles up toward the end. Shot in Melrose, Massachusetts. This one&#8217;s my favorite. Buy that guy working the snowblower a beer or six. Shot in Boston, Massachusetts.

		<description><![CDATA[No TV? No problem. Well, hopefully no problem. It&#8217;s complicated. Here are a couple sources you can use to watch the big game online. On Your Computer This is probably the easiest way to watch the game online, as CBS is the network that&#8217;s broadcasting the game on TV. Go here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/live/online The major caveat: &#8220;CBSSports.com’s live streaming of the Super Bowl is available in the United States, its territories, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda,&#8221; says CBS. If you&#8217;re not in one of those areas, you&#8217;ll have to explore – ahem – other options. On Your Smartphone or Tablet If you&#8217;d like to watch the game on your smartphone, you&#8217;ll need to a) be a Verizon customer and b) use Verizon&#8217;s NFL Mobile app: Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobitv.client.nfl2010 iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfl-mobile/id432015643?mt=8 If you don&#8217;t have a compatible Verizon phone, CBS&#8217;s video streams are currently working on iPad and iPhone (I tested them and found them to be working as of 10am Friday) directly through the web browser. Same link as above: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/live/online CBS&#8217;s live streaming coverage of the game begins at 6pm Eastern on Sunday, February 3rd. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30. Here&#8217;s some other Super Bowl-related content while you wait: Super Bowl Tech Ads: Survivors and Casualties Over the Years Super Bowl Sunday: What We’re Eating, Where We’re Watching, How Much We’re Spending Why Beyoncé Will Make No Bills, Bills, Bills for Her Super Bowl Performance Prop Bets, Sports Books, And Beyonce’s Cleavage: Everything You Need To Know About Super Bowl Gambling 5 Top Trends for 2013 Super Bowl Commercials The Most Buzzed-About Super Bowl Ads of 2013, A Sneak Preview Five Ways To Sound Smart About The Super Bowl What if There Were No Super Bowl?
