Google is blowing minds
- I'm not sure an automated telesales operator qualifies as either scary or cool, unless it is somehow literally blowing minds somewhere.detritus
- And another downvote, thanks douchebag. You know who you are :)********
- That was me - and I wrote why, just above - see?detritus
- lol********
- Why is this not impressive? Did you even see what it's doing and how flawlessly it sounds/ operates?********
- Only down voting as google should be boycotted at every corner.mugwart

I'd like to say there are people still in Google whom have principles but they probably have just quit. Terrifying.

A new "too good to be true" smartphone by Lenovo will be revealed on June 5.
With breakthrough tech that we haven't seen in a while.
The Z5 will feature some kind of "particle based" storage that can hold up to 4TB (!), a 95-100% bezeless screen-to-body-ratio with the front camera either under the screen or sliding up from behind and a next-gen battery that can give up to 45 days of stand by.
I hope they're not bullshitting or this will be revolutionary: http://playfuldroid.com/lenovo-z…
- How can it be too good to be true,
if it is true....******** - Lenovo
Good enough to be true******** - We will see soon. 4TB in a smartphone and a 45-day standby battery sounds too good to be true.********
- lol setMaaku
- And tech we haven't seen in a while means we've seen it before, a while back :)Maaku
- Breakthrough would be able to fold your phone without breaking the screen, or projecting holographic images, or transform your phone into a different accessory.Maaku
- Bigger screens, better camera, more space, and a longer battery life has been the same innovation looping since the iphone 1Maaku
- lol @ breakthrough tech that we haven't seen in a while. How did I miss that********

- Woah!!OBBTKN
- These things terrify me. <£5k for a high speed drone. Imagine 50 or 100 of these, set about a single target. We have no means to stop them.detritus
- Probably costs less than £1k for a single, hand made item. Never mind something considered and loaded with targeting electronics.detritus
- They couldn't put a go pro on it? Fast or just high pitched noise?shapesalad
- Of course they could - the purpose here is to get something to go fast as fuck. Add in electronics and you need to scale up size and weight = complexity.detritus

A bicycle that knits scarves. Terrifying.

- I thought I'd read this had failed, but apparently it's still going, with security updates.. https://www.elttam.c…detritus
- Personalyl I'd wait a ew years before getting excited about this sort of technology - too much to gain from attacking a single point of failure and winning.detritus
- ah I but I like my wallet and having a few cards.shapesalad
- it is good concept/tech.shapesalad
- my 1.5 y/o daughter would hate me to get this. She loves pulling the cards out my wallet and hiding them.microkorg

- phase plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?futurefood
- ha, I was just reading this, wondering what sort of laser and power package it used :)detritus
- Pretty sure this shit's illegal under some Geneva Convention, not that China would give much of a fuck... .detritus
- ah, it's in the article you mentioned..
https://en.wikipedia…detritus - fuckin' crazy.sarahfailin

Brain Implant tech:
It sounds like science fiction: a device that can reconnect a paralyzed person’s brain to his or her body. But that’s exactly what the experimental NeuroLife system does. Developed by Battelle and Ohio State University, NeuroLife uses a brain implant, an algorithm and an electrode sleeve to give paralysis patients back control of their limbs. For Ian Burkhart, NeuroLife’s first test subject, the implications could be life-changing.
