Use Google Glass to date with girls


This video is so funny that depicts the future applications of using Google Glass. It's a knowledge engineering process for collecting data and mining knowledge according to the application scenario. In fact, the video's imitations on using Google Search is not enough to provide information for talking on time. For example:  
  • If you can get search results about the girl in the first page, she should be famous. Do you have chance to date with her?
  • Would normal girls date with a guy who frequently murmurs words "google", "take picture", "ok", ...?
  • How to control the screen page up/down and click? Take glimpses or track the eye? I think normal girls absolutely reject the freak.

Following video gives more creative ideas for Google Glass apps. Do you like this kind of life?

完全掌握全世界的飛機現在在哪?


Flightradar24整合Google Map API服務,將目前飛機座標、班次、詳細資訊完整呈現餘地途中。包括班機資料的及時性「real time data(圖:黃色飛機) or 5 min delay data(圖:橘色飛機)」。UI同時也用飛機「頭」代表飛行方向。更重要的是,飛機真的會動,隨時更新。

這個服務真的太好了,以後接機可以隨時掌握何時出發。還有App,支援手機、平板和Windows 8。更有趣的是,還整合Google Earth(要先安裝),提供「cockpit view (座艙視角)」,讓你當機長開飛機(真是邪惡!小朋友一定愛不釋手)。

最後,Zoom out到整個地球(速度稍慢),得到以下感想。
  • 地球資源大量消耗。
  • 資源分配不均,非洲對地球最好,但好像也沒飛機航道是飛非洲內陸的。(可能是資料來源取得的問題,大部分是重要國際線航班)
  • 美國飛機好像比歐洲多,應該是資料來源的問題。美國包含一堆國內線 (domestic) 航班,其他國家應該只蒐集國際線 (international)。不過美國國內線也太多飛機了。
  • 不要在玩電玩了,多想想如何從這樣類似的想法,創造新的應用,而且是和現實結合的。例如:按照各航班資料,可以大約計算全世界目前人的流動數量,長期監控統計,應該可以找出有趣問題。

後記:最近2014/7/17發生的「馬航MH17被飛彈擊落」事件,由即時航班資訊可以看出航線的應變狀態。
