Extrasensory perception (ESP) involves reception of information not gained through the recognized senses and not inferred from experience.

Or in short you can sense or do stuff you normally can’t. Now here is a guy which is working on exactly the same thing . His name is Pranav Mistry and here is his project

SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data. As you will see in these videos he can paint , make calls , grab pictures , sort them , read messages , check prices on amazon , see youtube on newspaper and a load of stuff just by using his fingers (that too without touching anything) . I have to say this technology is pretty amazing

The best part is It will be open source and currently the prototype costs just $350 bucks. So i am assuming if this comes out as a product in near future it won’t be costly (well i do hope it comes out soon)

Now you have to check out these videos as they are plain awesome

There are many other videos and pictures on the project page so do check them as well

Some of the features in this “unlocked” version of the phone are as follows in the following pictures.

Now all the features are almost similar to the original HTC Magic except that the Phone has a lesser RAM . The  screenshot taken from HTC product page says the HTC magic has 288 MB RAM but Google ION has 192 MB RAM

Also some say there is a difference in UMTS frequency of both the phones. but it hardly matters to me.

But the most interesting features in Google ION / HTC Magic which makes it a must have phone

• Root Access to the Phone –> go ahead install the Cyanogen MOD and get the features you always wanted in your HTC Magic
• The capacitive touch screen
• No keyboard so it is sleek as compared to ADP 1 / HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1
• Better Battery Life than G1

Pricing : Google ION is available for $399 from Android Developer Center. Shipping is free for USA only. For other countries you need to pay shipping and tax as well. For example Total Cost of Shipping and Handling (including taxes) to India is $107 .So you need to pay $506 to buy the phone. On the other hand the HTC Magic(unlocked) is also available for Rs. 23000 ($500) from ebay india.

Final Notes : It is a decent phone and if you want an android phone that is not much costly this phone is what you are looking for

Apple deserves it. That's right iphone users you ain't getting adobe flash soon !!

Okay so this is what adobe says to you when you try to visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ on your iPhone to download flash player

At this matter i would say “What the hell is your problem Steve Jobs“

What would you name your wireless network. Btw great method to broadcast message.

The Go Programming Language

a systems programming language expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected

Go was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either efficient compilation, efficient execution, or ease of programming; all three were not available in the same mainstream language. Programmers who could were choosing ease over safety and efficiency by moving to dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript rather than C++ or, to a lesser extent, Java.

Go is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing. Finally, it is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for. [Language design FAQ]

Okay according to people over at the golang.org here is a sample hello world application

How to say hello world in Go language

You can get all the details reagarding how to install and code in Go Language at their official website – golang.org

Here is a video about the same

Well how far this language will go is a something we’ll see in the coming years. Have your say in the comments !!
