It’s stick figure X-Moto.
But seriously I managed more than 200 on Rebound in the last 10 mins. Free is my favorite flavor.

I don’t remember the “right to speed” amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Basic rights of expression and press transcend technology. That’s why the first Amendment was written the way it was – and consistently upheld in all eras since it’s inception by every single SCOTUS.
Here is the crux: If you have to ask permission to take a photo in public, then it isn’t public, the area would be considered private. And if public is now private, then we live in a closed society – the antithesis of what the constitution stands for. If all areas are considered private, then who owns them? Who do you ask for permission when you open your eyes? Who tariffs the sidewalk?
A can of worms without end. No court can solve that.

I think Google Glass is a joke, but these congress members don’t even read their own laws.
Glass can’t infringe on privacy because the Supreme Court has ruled consistently and without change that in public, gathering images is permitted without permission. Even in photojournalism, what I do every day, you don’t need a person’s permission unless yo arer in a private residence or business. If you can see it, you can photograph it. Even though I think it’s creepy, Glass is no different than a dash cam or any other street photography.
Lawmakers must draw a line between what Glass does and an actual camera device or phone to consider possible infringement. That’s going to be difficult. These people really need to read the laws they pas. But who ever said congress knew how to read?

So we don’t know what evil is and nobody knows who’s actually running this company. We know it ain’t Andy anymore, Sergey spends all his time skydiving in Crocs, Larry hopefully isn’t dying and Eric just travels around giving radio talks.
Eric, you don’t know what evil is? GOOGLE IT.

“EA confirms 10% of staff laid off. While company admits a further 90% could be laid off, release of next Madden title would be unaffected as only cover packing will be changed.”

We’ll miss ya Ray. If the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts didn’t shake you up at 5 years old, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Ah right, just like the thousands of brave white Christian preachers who publicly denounced slavery and stood up to halt all the lynchings, segregation and injustice against African Americans the past 150 years. And let’s not forget those those “heroic” Texans who held off Santa Ana and his evil army at the Alamo.

If people look at this as illicit, it will become just that. On the other hand, if you treat 3D printing of this kind of thing with some degree of intelligence, then the only people who will be afraid are the gun lobby because they don’t represent the 2nd Amendment, they represent the industry of corporate firearms manufacturers.
I’m all for this. Because if it blows up in your hand, there’s nobody to blame but yourself.

I’m a big Jeff Bridges fan, I can’t think of a movie I didn’t like him in, but this stuff stinks, even for set photography it’s not very good. I like the website though, other than it’s over sized proportions for my screen.

They should have removed the stink from the terrible script before adding any more aromas.

Good for a few laughs, but complete crap. Every scene felt like it was taken from a completely different movie than the scene that preceded it.

So Andy gets dumped from Android then Schmidt basically poo poos Glass – while Sergey is running around in Crocs selling those fugly shades on every street corner. Sergey and Andy have been running around without a tether for years bleeding money. They have Glass, ChromeOS, Android and they still make more money off Desktop search ads and iOS than any of those.
Schmidt is just pulling in the reins. Google isn’t evil, but they’re a company and it’s time to make some money instead of setting it on fire.
