"Life is too short for crappy meetings." Amen.

Looks like an interesting riff on Microvision's laser pico projector and the Skinput HCI research project. Also it would likely require quantum leaps in MEMS optics, LED lasers, battery power density, and years of research improving the sensing pipeline. And a boatload more money than $1.25M. Maybe in 20 years?

This project is awesome for "watch it later" or just when you're on flaky wifi and don't want to get stuck buffering every three seconds. Use 'pip install youtube-dl' if you're already set up for Python development — and you can use it in your own code just as easily, although features like batch downloading are already accessible through the CLI.

Works with JSX (React.js), which is shown in the demos.

This could be interesting if the network effects work out.

Is it just me, or would it be really awesome if the app store supported more than just still images?

My first thought was to compare this to the other "fast" ad blocker for Chrome, which is HTTP Switchboard. As it turns out, this is brought to you by the makers of HTTP Switchboard! HTTP Switchboard is, well, a very "give me control over all the things" extension. And while it's well done on that front, many users fairly see it as way more complexity than they wanted to be faced with. Most...

This is awesome. Also, scroll down. They used one of those "full page banner" designs that makes it non-obvious that they have more content on the page, and some of it is e.g. links to good accounts to test it on (high troll scores). Note that there is a very small limit on anonymous checks, after which they want read and write access to your Twitter account.
