Hands-on redux: Creative's Interactive Gesture Camera at IDF 2013 Beijing (video)
at IDF 2013 in Beijing, Intel is again working hard to calculate perception through speech recognition, gesture control and facial recognition, and in addition to the free SDK for these functions, Intel offers developers a creative interactive gesture camera for $ 149 on their website since November. For those who missed the last time the depth of the camera the flight time is much smaller cousin of the Microsoft Kinect sensor, but with the main difference being that it is designed for proximity and can also collect each movement finger.
had a go with the creation of the camera with some fun demos - including a quick gestures base level Portal 2
done with the Intel SDK - and found it surprisingly sensitive, but we think it would have been more fun if the device is combined with a larger screen. Intel has announced the market launch of this game at some point in the second half of this year, and finally, the same technology can even be integrated into monitors or laptops (notebooks Toshiba remember gesture control basic cells?). Until then, have fun with our new hands-on video after the break.

How geolocation technology is helping save lives in the developing world

In the developed world, geolocation technology has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, we can follow our progress as we go from A to B without getting lost and finding the two nearest offer in the process pizzas. In the future, said Jane freeze the market research company, governments will use this data "to understand how people interact with public services such as transport and health, and to monitor and detect criminals and prevent fraud. "On the other hand, companies aggressively retrieve geolocation data to target customers with products and services based on their habits and location.
gel said that concerns about the use of geolocation data are also valid in the developed world, "especially when the data are combined with personal information such as sex, race, occupation and financial history. What data is collected and how it is growing rapidly, but the laws of data protection is not. public and consumer confidence in the exchange of data takes a hit, and organizations must commit to share ethical data respects personal privacy before the trust becomes a real problem.

Insert Coin: Lightpack turns your computer display into an ambient backlight (video)
Although Philips has finally made its Ambilight technology for PC screens, it was not until others have decided to start their own. Now you can add the Ambilight any computer screen without the welding operator and Arduino disputes through people Woodenshark. The team built Lightpack system Ambilight-esque to be connected to a computer running Windows, OS X or Linux and project display color in the area around the screen.
Connectsize hockey puck device on your computer, connect 10 LED modules at the rear of the screen and install the open source software and you are good to go. Once ready, you can even set up custom alerts to measure the temperature of the processor or the volume of e-mail, and even lighting control with your smartphone or tablet. The team presented an unusually specific request 261962 dollars to fund an initial production run of 5,000 units, with the forces able to hold one of the units for $ 50 instead of $ 90. Interested to see it in action? There is a video after the break, folks.

The Copyright Lobotomy: How Intellectual Property Makes Us Pretend To Be Stupid
Take MP3s "used" for example. The idea is instantly sense and suggest that seems comparable to the question of how people go into television. A "use MP3" is indistinguishable from a "new", and on the Internet there is no such thing as a copy of an individual "moves" MP3 discrete from one person to another anyway . More generally, a "file" is not a "thing" at all - is a concept that is used to help organize and display the more abstract concept of "information" in many places and different states or magnetically recorded on a hard disk platter or transmitted by radio waves (not to mention the inner workings of a computer, where the data elements are deflected around between several different components and caches).
a "record" is
analogy, and like all analogies, is incomplete. It breaks when you take too much, then it must be discarded, as there are only analogies for our convenience. "Moving" a file is also an analogy - in fact, copy and then deleting the original. Deleting a file is usually an analogy - the data is still recoverable, the team has only been in charge of pretending it does not exist.
The purpose of these analogies
impose limits on reality. We give up the ability to copy a file because it simulates the ability to move. We do not pretend information degrades as physical objects simply because we choose to conceptualize it. If we describe something as "the size of 10 football fields", not require having lines painted grill on it. There is a reason that stubbornly stick with analogies is called
torture and every discussion on "used files" or the difference between the movement and the copy is another round nut.due to copyright, we are asked to pretend that these analogies always binding. When "lend" a Kindle ebook, pretend that we
thingfar and have not for some time, when our device is actually simply refuses we access. When a library wants to offer e-books, must pretend to be a "limited number of copies available." When we buy software with an activation code, we claim that "only bought one" and therefore can only be in one place at a time. When you rent a digital movie, we say that "we need to give back . " We claim that we are stupid and that our devices have limitations that do not really exist.
But here's the real problem: the timing could not be a benefit to the consumer, content companies analogy throw out the window, and suddenly want to talk about reality. So you get things like ReDigi, the MP3 market just used to lose in court. MP3s ReDigi tried to simulate discrete elements meetthe analogy of "Move a file" using a control system, so that when you sell an MP3 with somebody one, ensure you have removed your own copy. Though always suspected that he was condemned, at least it was more fascinating from a legal and political perspective, which could create a conflict between copyright and the rights of After all first sale., it is expected that the processing of digital files such as physical goods, we should at least be able to get the rights that come with it.
But this time, the labels wanted to emphasize the fact that there is no such thing as moving a file, noting that ReDigi support involved but participates also remove other copies - and the judge agreed. It is in fact 
, technical and realistic - just do not tell them the next time, when it benefits them and returned to call theft offense. As if to emphasize its dual master mind when it comes to the nature of the goods, labels have your cake and eat it too.

Ask the Doctor: 660 SLI or 680 Single Card? Dual-Booting Windows 7/8, and More
This month the doctor discusses CPU temperature dual boot, 7 and 8 hybrid units for the game, and more
touchscreensmy GPU?
want to build a system based on the threat of medium-sized PC, with the exception of 32 GB RAM, Asus GTX 670 DirectCU TOP and Windows 8 video card. My questions revolve around the touch screen user interface. Is the Asus GTX 670 Dual Touch Monitor units with ports you have, and what is the difference between the types of monitors?
- Clayton Lieck 
The doctor answers:
touch capabilities of most monitors are not motivated by the graphics card. Instead, a USB send the coordinates and location of the computer screen. The Asus GTX 670 supports up to four monitors, two DVI, one HDMI and one DisplayPort. It runs two touchscreen monitors (or any other monitor) without any problem, provided you have the right answers and you have two free USB ports. Regarding the type of monitor for, you will need a projected capacitive screen with multitouch capabilities, it does not be cheap. Affordable touch monitors today use infrared, which is more limited in the resolution and capacitive multi-touch capability. Microsoft needs at least five points for a multitouch device to be certified for Windows 8, then you should look for a monitor that is advertised as compatible with Windows 8. You also want one with a color bezel, as many touch features of Windows 8 are based on the ability to slide on and off the edge of the screen. A window leading interfere with that.

Dell is one of the new monitors optimized for Windows 8 multitouch.
Richard wants to know why our Hyper 212 is not capable of cooling as well as the
I run my test several times during the process of my CPU parameters and the truth is I have not changed much. When I test my 1090T six-core is a 100 per cent. Why the difference?
- Richard Gray
The doctor answers:
There are several reasons why we see different temperatures of CPU burn in ours, Richard. The first is that they are different processors. The Phenom II X6 1090T is an AMD processor and a slightly lower profile Thermal Design (125W against 130W). Units now include Intel chips power control point which monitors energy and thermal properties of nuclei consumption. The doctor thinks that it allows the Intel chip to push too hard. Intel generally have a higher level of safe operation, because they can go to about 90 ? C before they will start to choke to avoid damage. AMD usually be kept within 60 ? C or less. Remember also that the TDP rating of each company and the thermal characteristics are difficult to compare directly.
Then there is the difference between the performance of your PC and our test. Your PC is a machine every day, while ours is designed to run the CPU as hot as possible in order to better highlight the capacity of coolers tested. The CPU is overclocked and overvolted and subjected to stress-test tool Intel processors warming more than any tool available to the public that we have seen. The stress testing tool is designed to heat all the circuits of the chip, while the majority of public stress tests can not do that. During the day for daily use in the Core i7-3960X is much cooler.
dual boot Windows 7 and 8
I have a PC with a 1TB hard drive. I want to buy an SSD and install Windows 8 on it. Will I be able to choose the drive to boot the PC? I searched for the answer on how to do it, without success.
- Preetham Grandhi
The doctor answers:
Microsoft really really easy this time. All you have to do is install the SSD in your computer and boot your computer from the installation disc of Windows 8. Install Windows 8 on the SSD. Once you've gone through the installation process, Windows 8 will launch a screen asking you to choose which operating system to boot by default. From now on, if you do not choose another operating system on this screen during startup, the computer boots to the default value.
Clean XP upgrade to 8?
line've been recording for some time with a Windows XP system that I used mainly for playing WoW, but with the lower cost of the upgrade to Windows 8 dollars I am research dive in. If I buy the upgrade to Windows 8, based on my Windows XP license, can I be able to do a clean install, or require I have XP installed first, then pop in the disc Windows 8? I looked at building a new system, and that this could be an inexpensive way to reach a new operating system, and retire to the old pasture. What you do not want to happen is for making load XP on it for the first time.

Eric Holder, The American Library Association And Wikipedia Are America's Worst Porn Enablers
As mentioned above, the Internet is for porn (when it is not used for false judgments). Unfortunately, the Internet is thoroughly dissed by morality in the media list of "Dirty Dozen", and name the 12 most dirty "facilitators" of our nation "Porn Pandemic."
The name of the head of the list is a bit of a surprise: Eric Holder because the holder is cheaper here at Techdirt (Here are a dozen reasons.) However, to date.. I never really thought it was a kind of Bob Guccione Jr., wandering the Department of Justice to spread the Good News of pornography.
Here's why Holder is public enemy no. 1, Morality in Media.
Mr. Holder refuses to enforce existing federal laws against obscene adult pornography, despite the fact that these laws were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. UU. and enforced by the previous general counsel.
Hmm. Maybe it is because you have more important things to do, that Kim Dotcom with New Zealand wandering always shoot his mouth off (and the opening of new cupboards), the national drone attacks domestic spying and keeps under his hat, FOIA requests to ignore and Aaron Swartz Chase to respond.
federal obscenity laws are applied randomly. Former general counsel may have made an effort if enough noise surrounded the case, but in general, porn has not diminished.
Here are the other 11 of the "Dirty Dozen"

Comcast puts the name on the front, but the text called down all providers of cable / DSL important, each of which provides premium and PPV porn.
