Nobody gets hurt, everybody stays safe

Maybe not thought commands, but new types of input for the device for sure

Everyone knows OSS doesn't have defects, it just develops random features

Ok, so lets say that hypothetically you can print all the parts for a gun. Who is gonna put the damn thing together for you? From what I gather gunsmithing is not something just anyone can do in there basement. You think the gunsmith down the road is gonna do it for you?! Hell no, he will lose his licence for making a gun with no serials on it and then he's out of a job. Are you gonna go to school and learn to do it yourself - then you might as well build a REAL gun with no serials on it

That was my first thought too, but the issue in not a lack of resources/computing power, but the number of people available to analyse visual data. They need to convert the visual data into something that any human can identify as falling into group A or group B (or c, etc)

I think it is time you upgraded from firefox 2.0

Even the "google goggles" app on my phone can recognise logos

I can see the police confusing the two, but slashdot?!

1)return your alarm system
2)keep the sticker on your door from the alarm company
3)put a big pair of mens boots, and a dog bowl that says "killer" out front

You don't need to have an expensive alarm system, you just need to make people THINK you do

You finally make this futuristic device and it turns out it really isn't that practical or is too futuristic to be cool with anyone but nerds

Does it run blockdude?

google chrome can do it with webrtc from what I understand, and it is coming soon in firefox, but support for it in other browsers is lacking and a long ways off. Many android users are still screwed as far as in-browser video and will be for a long time. More importantly, there are no sites that I am aware of that actually make use of it. Even google hangouts does not use webrtc.

is the one you have on you when you need it. This is why I voted for "Whatever came with the phone"

the security researcher has revealed that they are already in possession of a functional untethered iOS 6 and iOS 6.1 beta 4 jailbreak wouldn't this require iOS to be functional to start with? This truly is quite the feat!

when it comes to monitoring yourself this is useless since alcohol lowers your ihibition and blocks clear thinking. A better solution would be for bars to use these glasses to assist in monitoring the amount of alcohol a patron has consumed. As it is now they just have guess based on your behaviour, but some people get depressed dwhen the are drunk which I imagine is much harder to spot compared to someone yelling and screaming and tripping over there own feet. When a bar is heavily packed bartenders are moving fast and pay little attention to customers. If the glasses could be outfitted with an RFID chip this would allow a bar to track exactly what drink a patron had and how fast they drank it. If a bartender sees your glass is red (or invisibly to you, it shows a warning to the bartender on screen) the bartender knows to keep an eye on you or to refuse to serve you if your sobriety is questionable. Sure, there is nothing stopping someone from stealing there friends empty glass and getting another drink, but if you steal your friends glass then THEY can't get another drink until the glass changes color and you have someone who is more clear-headed in the group to keep an eye on the others
