Google Glass

Today marks news from Google that they’re moving out of the “project” phase and into a whole new testing cycle with a recently announced contest for Google Glass aimed at people who aren’t entrenched in the tech field. To kick off the “contest” they launched a new website that details simplistic questions for the augmented reality glasses like “how it feels,” “what it does” and “how to get one.”

Google’s accepting applications until February 27 with those passionate about the project answering questions and paying a $1,500 USD fee to be the first to test out the built-in voice recognition, on-board, hands-free video recording, voice recognition, and photo and video capture. Up until now, the only people wearing Google Glass have been Google employees, developers and Sergey Brin. Head here to learn of the exact specifics to get your hands on a pair.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2013 Behind The Scenes with Kate Upton

Featured above is the B-roll and interview from the shoot featuring Kate Upton on location in Antarctica. And once we’re done gawking at her and the penguins in the background, we’ll definitely take some time to appreciate her hard work, as the sunny Florida native endured some of the harshest conditions we could imagine for a bikini model, managing to pull off a seemingly effortless 10-20 shots at a time before having to be literally surrounded by the warmth of her loyal crew.

Sony Announces the PlayStation 4

During a live event hosted at the Manhattan Center in New York, Sony announced the next generation of its gaming console franchise, the Playstation 4. According to lead system architect, Mark Cerny, development on the console began about five years ago and included in its goals to create a system that was both “by game creators for game creators” and that “[freed] developers from technological barriers.” In his words, the new console would feature framework “like a PC, but supercharged,” incorporating the X86 CPU, 8GB of memory, and a local hard drive as well as the same APU technology and GDDR5 memory typically seen in high-end graphics cards.” Read more about it HERE.

Lil Wayne "Love Me" featuring Drake & Future

Far removed from the champagne bottle-popping and mansion tours of other, more traditional rap videos, Lil Wayne finally releases the music video for his hit single “Love Me.” The models in the video, however, are still up to industry standards. Featuring both Drake and Future, the trio take to a dungeon-like setting for the visuals of the song. Preferring a quick, illusion-heavy editing style, vivid animal and religious imagery are featured liberally throughout the video. “Love Me” is set to be featured on Wayne’s forthcoming I Am Not A Human Being II, set for release March 26.

As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.
