bbigbigmouth writes: "According to this SlashGear article, augmented reality could be coming to a browser window near you. The WSJ "Tech Europe" blog has more detail on this: "What this means is that any mobile website can implement AR which the user will be able to experience through a mobile browser rather than a special app or AR browser. It should also allow developers to offer AR without having to tailor it to each mobile platform."
The browser of choice for the first proof-of-concept seems to be Opera Mobile."

dsinc writes: Forbes' Alex Knapp writes about the Tesla idolatry and confusing his genius for godhood: "Tesla wasn’t an ignored god-hero. Thomas Edison wasn’t the devil. They were both brilliant, strong-willed men who helped build our modern world. They both did great things and awful things. They were both brilliantly right about some things and just as brilliantly wrong about others. They had foibles, quirks, passions, misunderstandings and moments of wonder."

Talking about "reality distorsion field", why don't you rather say "US egemony" instead of "western freedom" ?

That would better reflect the reality facts, in my opinion.

FULL STOP.
