Pima County AZ Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blamed the “racism and vitriol” in Arizona for the shooting today. For the record: The shooter and the victims were white. What a jerk. Here was Sheriff Putnik. “But again I’d just like to … Continue reading → Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Gateway Pundit Discovery Date : 09/01/2011 02:51 Number of articles : 6

Using a Kinect-style camera, the system is able to recognize 3D objects on a surface and then project some nifty graphics to add interactivity. Placing the dragon near the house or train station sees them light on fire, drop a firetruck in and it puts out the fire, add a train then draw a track in front of it by dragging your finger, you get the idea. Intel Labs isn’t bringing any of this to market — at least not yet — but we’re enthused with what we see and look forward to what the folks with the crayons can dream up. Have a peek at the vid and gallery if trains, burning Lego people, fire breathing dragons, and firetrucks are your thing.

Coming in two versions — 500GB or optional 1TB capacities — the Wireless Backup seems to be a fully capable backup option, competing with other wireless solutions like the Apple Time Capsule and the LaCie Wireless Space . It includes the company’s patented AutoRUN feature that takes care of the initial setup, which is simple enough that even non-Engadget readers would be able to plug in and start backing up their files through the waves of the WiFis. After the software is configured for one or more computers, all that is required is a standard outlet for some juice and you’re rolling. There’s a number of options for those who want to choose specific files for backup and restore. While the clickfree Wireless is certainly competitive and one of the smallest backup solutions we’ve seen, comparing in size to an Apple TV or a Roku XD , it certainly doesn’t share some of the features of being a NAS and WLAN router like the LaCie Wireless Space, nor does it have USB support.

Continue reading …The following statement was released by one of the more prominent tea party groups in response to the Saturday shooting in Arizona that killed six people, including a federal judge, and injured 12 more, including a Democratic congresswoman. Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer issued the following statement today: “We at the Tea Party Express are shocked and saddened to hear about the terrible tragedy that took place in Tucson today. It is appalling that anyone would commit such unthinkable violence against Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford[s], her staff, a sitting federal judge and the many other victims and families impacted.

I’ve posted a video above posted to YouTube last month by user ” Classitup10 “, who identifies himself as Jared Lee Loughner, resident of Tucson, Arizona. Here’s a screen shot of his YouTube profile: enlarge Loughner spends a lot of words in his video talking about mind control and currency, which carries echoes of Glenn Beck’s rhetoric , particularly with regard to currency and revolution. The cable news stations, including MSNBC, are already trying to spin him as a “loner” who was surely not influenced by anything or anyone other than his own thought life. Yeah, right. Meanwhile, ten victims are in the hospital, five in critical condition (including Rep. Giffords). There are six fatalities, including a nine-year old child and a Federal judge. If any “adult conversations” are to be had, I’d say they should center around the impact of a constant drumbeat of violent rhetoric on the airwaves, the halls of government, and the Internet. I’ll update this with more information as I find it. Update #1: Here’s a link to a backgrounder on Loughner. The more info that emerges, the more I’m convinced the real crime here is ignoring cries for help from people who do not appear to be living in reality. It certainly looks as though he was retreating into a world where most of us do not live.
