Google Glass with prescription lenses spotted in NY

2 hrs.

A new variant of the Google Glass augmented-reality headset has been spotted in New York ? one with prescription lenses, which should be welcome news to nearsighted gadget-lovers?around the world.

The device (in Google muted red) was photographed?at a restaurant in New York?by an anonymous tipster, who then sent the picture?in to the blog Road to Virtual Reality. The now-familiar shape of the Glass prototype, with battery pack behind the ear and visor arm in front, adorns a pair of ordinary metal-framed prescription?glasses.

It may come as no surprise that Google,?a company with so many four-eyed nerds (like us!), should make their tech compatible with them, but it's not always possible. Some methods of presenting 3-D or augmented reality simply don't work when paired with glasses, whether for optical or ergonomic reasons. That means that millions don't get the opportunity to see movies in 3-D or try out the latest display technologies.

But luckily for the glasses-wearing public, Google's highly?anticipated headset appears to work well enough to take on the road, although there may still be limitations relating to other visual conditions, like astigmatism.

Google Glass isn't yet available for the public, but a $1,500 "Explorer Edition" developer kit is set to ship early in 2013, at which point it should be slightly more common to see the devices in the wild.

    New Year's Resolutions You Should Skip - Devour Recipe & Food ...

    Dec 30

    Why does putting up a fresh cat calendar always inspire us to promise ourselves wild things we can never live up to? Fact is, you?re pretty bitchin? already, so feel free to keep these resolutions out of your 2013 plans.

    Lose Weight
    Trimming up is great, but setting unrealistic goals like dropping a third of your body weight by summer is just going to get you down. Which in turn will cause you to assume the fetal position while binging on ice cream. Instead, just focus on staying active and healthy.

    Take The Stairs
    Admirable, but totally undoable. You?ll be in a rush one day, or stuck behind too many slow walkers, or wanting to get in some elevator chat time with that cute guy/girl from the third floor office. Either way, you?ll befriend the elevator again.

    Less Time on The Internet
    I?m pretty sure Facebook and YouTube will be equally entertaining in 2013. Sure, 10 hours a day online is ruining your real life, but think of your Twitter followers!

    Eat Healthy Food
    You should totally attempt to eat some more healthy, home cooked meals. But face it: pizza night isn?t going to take a hike any time soon. It?s all about balance.

    Save Money
    Starting a loose change piggy bank is a great way to save money ? until you get a midnight craving for chow mein (note: It is perfectly acceptable to pay a $20 delivery bill with quarters and dimes!)? A better way to save money is to save up for something you want. Like shoes.

    Drink Less
    If 2013 turns out to be a bust, you?re not going to drink less. And if 2013 has tons of cause for celebration, you?re not going to drink less. Accept it and move on.

    Here?s to 2013! A year to be our best without being so hard on ourselves! Tsaketa!

    CALIFORNIA FOCUS - "NEXT ELECTION: WILL GOP FIND ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE?"

    CALIFORNIA FOCUS - "NEXT ELECTION: WILL GOP FIND ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE?"

    The moment one election ends, all politicians' thoughts naturally turn to the next one. And California's 2014 run for governor "which has already informally begun" could be one completely unique.

    There's the good chance current Gov. Jerry Brown will try for a second term in his second coming " a fourth overall, which would tie him with Earl Warren for the most often-elected governor in this state's history.

    If the 74-year-old Brown opts to slip quietly into retirement " not the sort of thing that's in his nature " Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom stands panting in the wings, ready to jump in. No doubt, Brown will tantalize Newsom, the two-term San Francisco mayor and son of a close associate of Brown's father, as long as he can, keeping him dangling in the wind as a sort of payback for an abortive 2010 primary election run in which Newsom sometimes suggested Brown was a has-been.

    Of course, if Brown leaves, there could be plenty of Democratic primary competition for Newsom, starting with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Attorney General Kamala Harris and perhaps including state Controller John Chiang, who has developed a reputation as a rare sort of political straight-shooter and a responsible fiscal steward not afraid of challenging even his own party mates in the Legislature.

    But the chances are Brown will run again, leaving some of the others to play musical chairs among

    lesser statewide offices.

    In several election-season talks, Brown alluded to California's future, calling it "dynamic" and saying his moves during the last two years have created a solid "framework for a very good credit rating." Brown's clear implication was that he'll want to be around to enjoy the fruits of his very hard work in paring budgets and passing Proposition 30's temporary tax increases.

    One person who certainly would not be scared off by a Brown reelection drive is Molly Munger, who refused to knuckle under this year when Brown tried to get her to give up or compromise on her school tax plan, which turned into Proposition 38 last fall. Billionaire Munger put about $20 million into the losing campaign for that one; imagine what she might spend on her own candidacy.

    "For sure, she has the ego for a race like that," says one acquaintance. But the more interesting party in this nascent gubernatorial season may be the Republicans, who have no incumbents in statewide office and trail Democrats 44-29 percent in voter registration, with most other voters signed up with no party preference, today's parlance for independent.

    Every since then-Attorney General Dan Lungren lost badly to Democrat Gray Davis in 1998, the GOP's gubernatorial runs have been dominated by billionaires and near-billionaires. Its last three candidates for the state's top job fell into that category: financier Bill Simon, muscleman actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and businesswoman Meg Whitman, now the CEO of the seemingly ever-downsizing Hewlett-Packard Co.

    Whitman put about $150 million of her own funds into her 2010 run against Brown and lost handily.

    But friends of 2002 loser Simon say he's contemplating another run in spite of the evidence that in order to win, a billionaire needs a measure of celebrity to go along with all that cash. Schwarzenegger had both a big name and big money, while Whitman and her primary opponent, former state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, a near billionaire, for the most part had only big piles of cash.

    Poizner now says he might run again. The former state insurance commissioner founded and then sold a company that invented and designed the GPS chip for cellphones. He's spent most of the last two years setting up _www.empowered.com_ (http://www.empowered.com/) , an adult-oriented job-training and counseling business where he partners with UCLA, among others.

    "I haven't decided to run or not to run," Poizner says. Like other super-wealthy possibilities, he doesn't have to decide soon, because fund-raising is no problem for him. He can write a check for whatever amount might be needed.

    Other Republicans thinking of running include Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, best known for getting arrested while trying to carry a gun onto an airplane, and John Cox, a real estate investor and former chairman of the Cook County (Chicago) Republican committee who now lives in Rancho Santa Fe, near San Diego.

    So there will be no dearth of candidates. The wild card here may be the new Top Two primary system, which got its first outing this year and saw more than 20 contests where the runoff election matched candidates from the same party. Could the next contest pit Brown against Molly Munger in an intraparty grudge match? Brown isn't saying, but may still resent Munger's commercials disparaging Proposition 30, while Munger resents Brown for killing off her rival plan.

    That might be as bitter an election fight as California has seen, and it could happen.

    Microsoft Warns of Zero Day Bug Affecting Internet Explorer 6-8

    Microsoft is currently investigating reports of a zero day bug affecting Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8, the company announced in a Security Advisory. At issue is a remote code execution vulnerability that would allow attackers to seize control of a Windows PC.

    How it works is IE attempts to reference and use an object that had previously been freed. The components of an exploit for such a vulnerability are typically:

    • Javascript to trigger the Internet Explorer vulnerability
    • Heap spray or similar memory preparation to ensure the memory being accessed after it has been freed is useful
    • A way around the ASLR platform-level mitigation
    • A way around the DEP platform-level mitigation

    Chrome
    Microsoft suggests disabling certain services while it works on a patch. Alternately, you can use an alternative browser like Google Chrome (shown above).

    "The IE team is working around the clock to develop a security update to address this vulnerability for earlier versions of the product," Microsoft stated. " However, until the update is available, customers using Internet Explorer 8 can block the current targeted attacks by introducing changes to disrupt any of the elements of the exploit."

    Those changes include disabling Javascript, disabling Flash, and disabling the MS-Help protocol handler along with ensuring "Java6" is not allowed to run.

    The vulnerability is not present in IE9 or IE10.
