Check the site out for an 8+ minute video of something quite revolutionary.

It is a piece of wearable technology that makes an iPhone look like a rock.

Positively must-see-super-cool-tech video stuff here.

The Borg resistance is futile

Sorry but no thanks... listen closely to what she saying...she talking not about information access but taking your own critical thinking / common sense skills out the loop and having you act on the "correct" collective thinking provide to you... this is the lefts problem on steroids...To much correct "info" to act on and no true thinking..garbage in garbage out

Barack could sure use one so he doesn’t have to bow down to read the teleprompter on his shoe when he meets King Abdullah.

LOL!

Great post potlatch!

What would Rummy do about the Muslim terrorist/pirates off Somalia?

I’m wondering why the Captain’s wife is holding huge press conferences way up in the sticks.....

This is about America’s national security - not Me Me Me

The freighter was only going at about 10 knots in terrorist area - to save engine fuel!

I do not consider the Captain to be a hero - in fact I think he should lose his license/papers and the Dutch shipping line be sanctioned and heavily fined

They want to pay with insurance money and care nothing about USA’s security

Rummy wouldn't put up with the crap the Obama admin will. Hillary's got a long wait if she thinks she'll get much help from other countries.

I was busy all day and have not really kept up with details of all this.

.

“America will never be at war with Islam!”

Then a US flagged/crewed freighter gets highjacked by Somali Muslim terrorists -

But “We are following it closely!”

Not “leading”.....

“Observing”.....

Obama is a Pansy Scam!

I believe today is the first that Obama has issued a statement about it.

Yeah, some of the daily struggles of these people are a little be eccentric. But the device is useful for considerably more than answering that one question...JFK
