Gyro as in gyroscope, not kebab. So who will make the first app that lets me strap my iPhone to my back wherein its sensors feed a program on the device, or more Siri-like on a remote server, that keep me upright after swilling pints all afternoon? I guess version 1.0 has a backpack with [...]

Doesn’t this sound a lot like an iPad in 1972? Edwin Land engaged Charles and Ray Eames to make the video. Was Land an influence on Steve Jobs? And @thoshughes? This video?

Cool transportation concept out of MIT. Half-size prototype in the video, the actual will be about same size as a Smart when unfolded, much less when folded to park / store.

Spending a laze Sunday afternoon catching up on email and reading, just now finally had a chance to view Sal Khan’s TED 2011 presentation about flipping education around.

It’s got a bit of everything, factual history, reminiscing, opinion (i.e., iPad, IE, web standards, etc.). Across the board it’s an excellent piece. [...]
