Reality Meets Movie Magic

FAIL ON THE HORIZON: Samsung's Transparent Smart Window: who the hell wants to do their homework while standing at their window?

Surprising enough though, Windows might actually be onto something with their Kinect (see below). This is a relatively new way in which people can interact with the every day devices on a massive scale...away from video games, famously the Wii

This has been seen in movies, famously by Tom Cruise in Minority Report and Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man

But of course, Windows is not the only one with this idea in the market:

Now when am I getting my flying car?

Synergy Green

I recently learned that Chevy introduced a new color for their Camaros: synergy green. This reminded me: when was the last time you remember seeing a new color, one of which you had never seen it before? does this mean that there no new colors to be discovered?

If there are more colors out there to be discovered though, who is responsible for looking for them: chemists, who create paints and other products or painters/artists, who uses those paints and products?

Google

I HATE Google. Correction, I DESPISE Google. It completely takes the mystery of not knowing out of life.

You can no longer sit there ponder, discuss and/or imagine of what could be, instead just "Google it" and there's your answer. The advent and usage of smartphones have exuberated this reality.

I bring this up because in my quest to find out what the equivalent of "margaritas" is in English, the mystery of not know and asking around was far more enjoyable than actually know the answer...I guess as with most things in life, the journey often far out weights the destination.
