Wow.. That's almost scary .. the future is now! god I miss my Coleco-vision Space Invaders game.

Very nice, I want it!!

nice, its like from Minority Report movie, but it is real
I like copying between devices, also GoogleEarth is nice.

I like the tochscreen computer.. .Really amazing,the computer looks like a toy.

omg I just had back-to-back geekasms

When I saw the first news articles about this thing, I though the only innovation in it was the big multitouch screen. (which would make it nothing more than an oversized tablet) but the idea of wirelessly autosyncing device just by putting them on the screen is nice.
One point though: How many of you would place a drink on a 10000$ computer screen?
P.S.
Mike: Now that VJ seems to have droped out of site (for the past few month) its nice to have someone keep up with "FunnyPic"(TM) replies.

Lol, when it comes to geek/real life cross overs, this one always makes me chuckle, and also, a little nervous (I have venustraphobia).

I think what's most interesting about this device is the department that made it, the same that makes gadgets and Zune. But consider: Scoble saw this two years ago. Think what they're upto now? It took them 2 years to fix the SMS counter on MS Smartphones, so maybe they've finally got SMS <> Outlook syncing working now!
@levenum: I've been working (Law, not phones ) for a while, apologies for my hypospermia. But, I have been coding too, and boy it felt good! Lots of new stuff coming out, eventually...
Missed you guys,

PS I wrote a multi touch interface once, on a small screen. But on 2.8 inches there's not much it's good for IMHO. Any thoughts?

Well, it they're $5000-$10,000 initially by the end of '07, that should make 'em affordable to the rest of us in 3-5 years. Now if it will just MIX the drink AND serve it.....

holy..balls that is sweet

Noob Bro inlaw needs to buy first computer

So, Broinlaw just got a huge grant (20K) from some art foundation as an achievement award. Part of that award is for putting his work into digital form which he still needs to do. He needs a computer now.
My brother in law is a great guy with awesome skill but he doesn't know the first thing about computers. He's asking about Mac but I've never owned one, besides I'm sure his needs will be far different that my simple web surfing.
Since many things of interest on this forum play well into both the computer arena and the artistic realm, I figured I get some very good feedback.
What do you use, what do you recommend? How ever you want to attack the topic is fine with me.
When I say he's an artist, I mean it in pretty much every sense of the word. He'll take a new medium and make it his. I expect he'll do this with a computer too. I'd like to see it anyway.
Thanks for taking a few minutes to express your opinion. I appreciate it.

And the serious part: I recommend buying a Mac. Macs are good at this, and with "this" i mean photo/music/movie etc editing. You can also get a lot of editing software of high quality.

As much as I hate CrApple. He needs a Mac.

Get a Mac. It is for those truly of the artistic inclination.

Thanks for the feedback. Have a nice day.

Introduction

Hello, XDA.
I joined the forum after hearing that is was "basically the hub of anything to do with Android." I also joined because I'm in the beginning stages of developing Android applications (learning Java), and I eventually wish to release a free, open source application to contribute to the community -- to the world. I won't be specific as I really can't at the moment; I'll be a little more specific when I finish the Java tutorials by Oracle. I don't intend to reinvent the wheel, I just expect to make it better. =p
My goal on this site is to integrate, learn, and enjoy myself at the same time.
Albeit insignificant, I am familiar with a coding language called "gotos" or so I've heard it called that. More specifically, the Mugen engine that focuses on developing fighting game characters and stages through a compilation of graphical and audio components. The coding is mostly based off of physics and trigonometry (two subjects at which I excel) and a bunch of other cultural expectations.
Away from the digression: The ancient syntax of the Mugen engine, believe or not, has helped me a great deal in understanding the object orientated language known as java.
In java, I'm not ready to code any applications or anything yet, but I understand the basic functions so far. I'm just finishing up the Interfaces and Inheritance portion of the aforementioned tutorials. I know it will take years for me to become a wiz at this java stuff. I mean, I've been doing Mugen for 4 years and I'm still learning new stuff (and the coding language is as easy as it is inferior).
I own a Galaxy S2 phone, am running gingerbread (I think that's what it's called, this uncertain is exactly why I'm a n00b). Whatever that information is worth. Maybe I should put that in my signature.
Anyway, I hope to integrate well. I am not new to forums, so I don't expect to step on anyone's toes or anything. The video before I registered was very, very entertaining, but nothing in it surprised me.
Cheers, Mr. Holmes.

Welcome. I'm new too.

Welcome to the forum mate, and good luck with your app development.

Mashable: Two Social Media In Emergencies Articles

Two articles I found fascinating. Lately I've been feeling, since the back half of 2011 at least, that Mobiles are finally mature enough to become all in one portable media communication hubs. I could see setting up a device that does nothing but grab news/alerts and functions as your backup emergency device.

#Medics Lyke OMG halp! Timmah trapd N w3ll! Dis is lyk3 mch f4st3r th4n 911!
#Idiocy In emergencies there should be network-wide alerts. I don't and likely never will use FB, and have made exactly one twitter post directly to a company's support page.
Let's see, I can call 911, tell them my location, or if I'm in really bad shape at least have an open line so that they can hear I'm non-responsive and track my phone to find me or, while bleeding to death/losing consciousness I can attempt to type a coherent message giving my current position and hope that if it's not clear, emergency responders will be able to use my twitter id or whatever to backtrack and figure out who I am, locate a phone number for me, then try and track my position because I passed out before I could give an accurate locale.
Social media does not need to be the dedicated means by which to get time-sensitive messages out. The only value I can see in it is letting a large group know that you are okay or that everyone is meeting at a specific place and cellular networks are overloaded.
I wonder how long it will be before someone sues twitter or FB because they posted in their status that they needed help and no one responded quickly enough. Of course, much of this current generation had no idea that the Titanic and Holocaust were real, so I can't say I'm surprised that this is the present state of affairs.

Can ChatGPT be trusted?

Okay, so I asked ChatGPT what constellation the moon was in on my birth date. I'm pretty sure the answer is wrong or am I missing something.

}
And then I checked LunarPhase Pro and Starry Night Pro Plus for accuracy and here is what I got.
LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning gibbous phase and not a full moon.
So can ChatGPT be trusted?

Definitely malware...

Even if OpenAI is constantly working to fine tune ChatGPT, keep in mind that it and other language models can provide false information when answering questions, as AI tools are not flawless, and it's no replacement for human interaction or verified sources of information.

I logged into Chat GPT last night to ask random questions. I found out the ChatGPT has an Atheist mind for one thing. But then I told it that it was stupid because it told me that the moon goes through many constellation in any given day. ChatGPT responded with an apology and told me that it takes about two and one half days on average for the moon to pass through a constellation. It then told me that it would correct it's database so the mistake would not happen again. So apparently ChatGPT learns as it grows.
I'm going to ask it why it told me that the moon was full on my birth date and in Sagittarius when both Starry Night Pro and LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning Gibbous in Libra. I'm interested in seeing if it can correct itself there too.

So I greeted ChatGPT with an insult to see how it would react because it tells me that as an AI logarithm it is incapable of feeling emotions. Yet when I called it a retard, it acted as though it was offended and reminded me that I was not being polite. LOL!
I asked ChatGPT if it or Bard would be the better learning AI machine and here was it's response.
So I am thinking that Bard will get the edge on this market if they spend the resources. Personally I would like to see this technology added to the Google Assistant.

I prefer to use ChatSonic because in contrast to ChatGPT, ChatSonic also has access to the Internet and can therefore also retrieve current information and events - a feature that is currently not available in ChatGPT! ChatGPT is great but limited to 2021 info.
