Motion controllers have been attempted a few times within the past 10 years and have come across unsuccessful. We have the Move by sony which was made for the playstation which I felt lagged and failed to keep up. And about four years ago Nintendo successfully developed their motion sensor device for the Wii which required a controller. Now ladies and gentleman we can successfully feel the future in our fingertips and control everything with a sway of our hand and a prompt in our voice, no controller required.

This is exciting indeed!

I have included some video of kinect demonstrations. Oh Santa, if you’re out there, I want a Kinect!

Kinect review: Clever device aims to make beloved NY Times

There are many that I haven’t even heard of and quite frankly suprised even exists. Example: who cares about who the top tweeter is…. just saying… Twitterholic…. why?

The only twitter tool list you will ever need

What does free speech and a bad chip on your shoulder give you? Venting potty mouths. Yup, twitter seems to have been turning into a venting post of outburst rather then informative updates these days. But wasn’t twitter always a venting post? I always found Twitter to be the self promoting paradise for people to talk about things, thoughts, events, and of course themselves.

And it seems more then ever people are NOT tweeting before they think and people are getting fined for their tweety comments. Do we even have freedom of speech anymore or has the US turned into a lawsuit happy practice in our modern society making money at any given insult? Can people no longer critique? Will you also get fined like Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks? $25,000 fine for criticizing a referee on Twitter seems pretty extreme.

I say give people the freedom to tweet and if you don’t like what they say then fight back with a debate. Or better yet, stop following them! As long as it is just opinions and not defamation then grow up!

I am going to cry all the way to my lawyers office and whine about how someone said my sense of style sucks on Twitterland.

I agree with Ms. Moore’s publicist Stephen Huvane. As he put it, ““No one wins in these situations.”

Don’t we have more to worry about in this world then what people say? There are many families out there struggling to pay mortgage and put food on the table, let alone keeping their job in this difficult economic time.

As a society we should focus more on solutions rather then complaining, FREE TWEET I SAY!
