"User Engagement Networks" Sounds perfectly fine to me. At least there would be an idea of what these apps are trying to accomplish at the expense of the user.

This is prime example of what insurance should cover 100% no questions asked with no premium increase. These circumstances are way out of a homeowners' control, maybe this guy should look into suing his own insurance company.

Sounds a bit crazy until you look at it from the perspective of being able to visually observe how an AI driver would react to erratic behavior like pedestrians suddenly running onto the road or conditions like gunfire, accidents, etc. I think this is just a small step in the positive direction of AI development.

It's nice that you can get Comcast services without dealing with them directly but this does not really solve the underlying issue IMO... Too many bundled services and an antiquated business model. I recently left Comcast (TV) because I only watched around 5-10 different channels yet to have high definition and use their DVR the cost was $130 a month just for TV. I now use streaming services and it has been great. There are a couple of channels that are not offered anywhere outside of big cable but until I can select the channels I want without paying for the ones I don't I will not go back.

Technically we're still waiting on Windows 7. ;-)

This is a big step in the direction of data collection. Imagine gaming with the goggles on and FB is tracking your eye movement, monitoring your heart rate and how you react to certain visuals. Say you are playing DeadSpace or some other jumpy game and they see that when you get "scared" your heart beat becomes abnormal. They could then use that data to insert an ad for a local heart specialist or some fancy new heart medication. I'm not against new tech but people should always be informed on what data is being collected and most of the time that is not the case.
