Vandalize Your Town and Share Your Tags with ARstreets Augmented Reality Graffiti iPhone App
While I love defacing a building just as much as the next guy, the law doesn’t agree with my propensity for destroying the hopes and dreams of many a business owner.

Rock Band in the Future
Eventually, people are going to get bored of this whole fake instrument gaming craze. Once these controllers are mastered, the people over at the Rock Band development lab are going to have to get creative. In the future, perhaps within the next decade or two, it’s possible that Rock Band could look a little something like this video. Hell, we’re already making huge jumps in the way of augmented reality. Once that technology catches up with better graphics, better response... Continue reading
