I used to play games all the time – even though I enjoy gaming – I haven’t had a chance to play anything for the longest time (used to be a huge World of Warcraft player – still have a level 66 Paladin I haven’t seen in a while) – i just find that spending [...]
This is very cool – using 3D printing technology to replace tissue – we have barely to scratch the surface of what 3D printing can do – it truly has the ability to disrupt a huge number of markets – with luck it won’t be regulated out of existence like many other industries . Next [...]
A year ago, I wrote a post on how glad I was that the shuttle program was scuttled because now the realm of space exploration is moving back to the private sector where it belongs. Now is the time for us, as private entrepreneurs, investors and businesspeople, to look back at space. I watched Armageddon [...]
No, i’m not talking about the end for location based apps, although any of those apps like Foursquare are seeing their market share eroded by other apps who simply add geo location as a feature – location is not really rocket science. It’s funny what people consider hot for a while. but I digress. No, [...]
Let’s be honest. We are already cyborgs …we can hardly survive without our smartphones as our backup brains. Science fiction predicted this, we would eventually have intelligent sidekicks that would be able to record and respond to any and all questions. As far as I’m concerned we are already there. Assuming that, where do we [...]
So I signed up for a little toy, or so I thought, called Timehop. Its an app and service which mines your social media and gives you little “On this day” updates of what you did back then. Its supposed to go back a ways but for some reason it only goes back a year [...]
Back when I worked at Yahoo! in ’07, we had some ideas like this, but we didn’t have the data to make it happen. This app seems to closely mimic the functionality in Google Now, which can and does predict things like when I need to leave for appointments, where I’m going next etc.. and give me [...]
Seeing Keep launched from Google yesterday reminded me of Microsoft circa 1999 – they’d already crushed everyone in the big app space – O/S, Desktop Apps (Office), Email (Outlook) and seemed to me were starting to think about picking off smaller players in niches – for example, launching Money to compete with Quicken, etc. Of course, we [...]
What do you think guys? I’ve decided to pick up a 3D printer in order to goof around with the tech – so am just deciding which one to pick up. I want to get something which doesn’t require a lot of technical expertise – not that I don’t have it – but I’d like [...]
Interesting – although I like the thought that the whole concept of what a futurist is has been broadened by Scott here, I don’t know if I would agree that people who are enamored with a forward thinking view could all be called “futurists”. It’s like the difference between someone who plays the sport as [...]
