First video sample from Google’s Project Glass

Photo Credits: Google

It seems as if Moore’s Law is standing firm and being proven correct with the advancements of late, in social technology. Let’s take a quick peek at the undertaking of Google to meld reality and interweave it in the threads of cyberspace. This technology has actually been around a while and it’s called augmented reality, but Google appears to be taking it to a whole new level of surreal. In the modern world, our lives are being increasingly shaped and fundamentally changed by the progression of how cyberpsace is viewed and used.

Project Glass, by Google, merely intends to make life easier by helping you do what you already do, in a more fashionable and flexible way. Imagine a world with less tablets, smartphones, and notebooks meaning less resources being used to manufacture devices. Imagine the impact of having all your favorite Google tools at, literally, the blink of an eye. This is the world Project Glass envisions.

As far as specs go, nobody knows much about those, but we do know this video was shot in 720P and most, if not all, of the features shown will be made available to buyers of this new technology. For those ahead of the curve, this may be the next big thing to take notice of: wearable computing.

First images of Audible app for Windows Phone appear [Updated]

Audible?

Windows Phone users have been yearning for an official Audible app for Windows Phone for quite some time now. Recently, our own Rafael Rivera showed how it's very possible to make an app for Windows Phone using some aspects of the ancient Windows Mobile app of yore. Around the same time, we heard rumblings of a limited beta for an Audible starting to circulate, which gave us hope.

Now, some images of said app have appeared on Reddit by a poster who is reportedly in the closed beta program. He notes that the beta program will be going open in a few weeks and that he won't post the XAP file, so no hope there.

While we can't verify that these images are legit, we have reason to believe that these are indeed real. Hopefully we'll be hearing more in a few weeks.

Update: Confirmed. Paul Thurrott has just posted more screenshots, moving this from rumor to news.
