This reminds me of 3D TVs. It must be an interesting challenge to get consumers to “reimagine the world around them” when they’re in a semi-transparent plastic bubble. And I imagine there’s a bumping-into-things learning curve.

PC Gaming for Living Rooms
Razer Introduces $100 Android-Based PC-Game-Streaming Console for TVs
Razer wants to bring PC gaming to living room TVs. As someone who can’t finish Portal I because it resides on a non-work laptop (and who has open surface areas for those?! š), I find it a compelling interface. But considering how picky most (real) PC gamers are about their peripherals, I have to imagine this is targeted for a more casual crowd.
Soft Machines: New Approach to Microprocessors
A startup is developing a new CPU hardware that can manipulate its pipelines to be application-optimized. I seem to remember adaptive architecture being an exercise in a Comp Arch class and the punch line is that the overhead of implementing both the ability to mutate and the decision-making algorithms controlling the architecture outweighed the gain of single-threaded compute in an age when “transistors are free.” It will be interesting to seeĀ whether this succeeds.

My first thought was that I needed to buy one for each appendage. My second thought was why stop there? If you had two bracelets on one arm, each facing outward, you could get into some really neat multi-user usages. (Forearm checkers, anyone?)
Final thought: Would the resolution be impacted by unkempt arm hair?
Apple A9 MBA Speculation
@MacDailyNews: Apple A9-powered MacBookĀ Air?
A9 seems like an awfully short of a runway for such an ambitious overhaul. Then again, Apple has a reputation for throwing runways on the chopping block.
