Apple today took the wraps off of their much-hyped iPad tablet computing device. As predicted, the iPad works sort of like exactly like an iPhone on steroids, and is focused on media consumption, entertainment and educational usage. Not a whole lot of surprises here, but the iPad still looks like a sweet computing and media#8230;

BigTrak was this cool six-wheeled toy that had built-in memory which allowed you to program a few different moves. Now, the BigTrak will be coming back later this year as the new and improved BigTrak Jr.
The original#8217;s various moves were very limited, but you could play them back. The new version will allow you#8230;

So with Apple#8217;s impending release announcement of the iPad/iSlate/iTablet #8211; whatever it#8217;s called, I thought I#8217;d take a gamble on what I think are the highest likelihood features, specs and pricing we#8217;ll see from Apple later today.
While much of what I#8217;ll lay out here is speculation on my part, it#8217;s all grounded in various#8230;
intel inside casinos: smarter ways of taking your money

Dhiram over at Newlaunches spotted this Intel video showing the company#8217;s vision of a modern-day casino, one that can be managed remotely, has electronic card tables, Core2Duo-powered slot machines and even handheld gambling devices.
It#8217;s all fancy tech, but I don#8217;t think the current gambling generation will be so impressed or welcoming of the improvements#8230;

emHarry Potter/em may not be in the spotlight these days, what with the vampires of emTwilight/em, the Na#8217;vi of emAvatar/em, and the choir members of emGlee/em. But I#8217;m sure a lot of people still re-read J.K. Rowling#8217;s books, and a lot of kids still like to pretend that they#8217;re going to train to become wizards#8230;

When I first watched Keiichi Matsuda#8217;s emAugmented (hyper)Reality/em video, I wasn#8217;t sure if I should be awed or frightened by his vision of the world that lies in front of us.
Matsuda#8217;s stunning video clip was created as part of his Masters#8217; program at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and envisions a future in which augmented#8230;
beep mug: have yourself a hot upc of coffee

Although this mug has got its barcode all around, for some reason it#8217;s called the BEEP Mug. It was created by the British designer Colin O#8217;Dowd and the mug does more than just look cool, it eliminates the need for any excessive packaging, since its own UPC barcode is integrated into the design of the#8230;
