Comment MVNO Mint Mobile offers 3GB/month for same price (Score 1) 37

TMobile MVNO Mint Mobile offers the same deal but with 3GB/month (you have to prepay for 12 months.) I was on TMobile Pay As You Go, but after see my usages go up, it ended up being cheaper to switch to Mint. http://fbuy.me/n7onr (referral link, if anyone's interested.)

Comment Just build dorms on campus (Score 2) 96

Just build dorms on the corporate campuses, and subsidize the housing like you do with the at-work food. Employee gets cheaper housing, can save for their future, and the company gets a more connected employee with zero commute time. Seems like a win-win. Probably wouldn't take much for the company to break even on this financially, or even make it a small profit center. Maybe even charge rent in the form of earned "credits" whereby they could keep heaps of money off the books too...

Comment Could be good -- super vision, AR or image AI (Score 1) 309

Could definitely be good as they could put some smarts into the system beyond just emulating a dumb reflective mirror. Cameras could see in wider bands of spectrum (provide IR night mode for example). Video being streamed could be augmented to alert drivers of dangers. Camera views could be stitched/overlapped as they are now with 360 degree views to provide real coverage of blind spots.

Comment Why is it always herky jerky? (Score 1) 30

Why do these systems always need to be so herky jerky? It seems to me you could offload a lot of the processing to the exo-skeleton's processor by reducing this to what the intent of the motion is (in this case, walk forward in a straight line) instead of trying to mimic the firing of individual muscles. Boston Scientific has already perfected bipedal motion and balance, so seem like a neural extension of that would get you something that was far more useful and less data interface intensive.

Comment Hey why is this faster? (Score 1) 42

"Huawei's next flagship smartphone will not come with Google's popular apps, such as Maps, YouTube... " Tests indicate that phone runs much faster, and personal productivity is increased 20% or more... [/s[ But seriously, it'll just be a matter of time before someone comes out with an easy way to sideload the AppStore just like they have with the Amazon Kindle devices.
