Amish IT Guy At The Office

May 062013

Some people say political correctness has gone too far. As a hilarious demonstration of just how far political correctness has gone in the office, Jungleboys imagined an office with an Amish It guy.

When Tim’s computer freezes up again, he has to call the only IT guy available, Jacob. He seems to always diagnose every computer as simply ‘broken’ after tapping at it with his hammer and measuring the screen.

Tim finally had enough and blew up at Jacob in front of his manager, “You are Amish! You fundamentally reject technology… The T in ‘IT’ stands for technology!”

Naturally, Tim was fired for being so prejudiced.

The humorous month old video is going viral this new week after appearing on other popular sites, such as TastefullyOffensive, HuffPost, DailyOfTheDay, and MostWatchedToday.

The Minuum Keyboard Project To Make A Smart Keyboard For Smartphones

Mar 192013

The smartphone has truly changed the world. But there’s one function that is holding everything back. The keyboard.

It’s based on the huge typewriter from ages ago, so why are we still pretending we can fit it on a tiny screen?

Enter Minuum. Minuum is basically a smart QWERTY keyboard for touch screen smartphones and tablets. All the letters are spread across a banner at the bottom of the screen instead of taking up to nearly a 1/3 of the screen.

“With Minuum, typing fast is not a problem. When you’re typing, you don’t always hit the letter you aimed for. And there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Minuum’s smart technology makes auto-correct seem ancient as it dynamically adapts and anticipates what the user is typing no matter how fast they type.

But it gets better. With the new technology, we may soon be able to throw away the keyboard entirely. Imagine ‘typing’ with your watch or a video game control with lightening speed and accuracy.

SwiftKey is another interesting reinvention of typing on a smartphone, but not nearly as dramatic.

Augmented Reality Snooker With Projected Path Light

Mar 032013

Snooker and pool games are so much easier when played in video game format than in real life. With the computer, players can always use projected lines to help aim their shots.

Well now with PoolLiveAid, made by Luis Sousa, Ricardo Alves, and J.M.F Rodrigues of University of the Algarve, Portugal, players can have the help from the computer in real life pool applications.

A projector above the pool tables constantly shows the ever changing path the cue ball is expected to travel based solely on the position of the player.

Pool will never be the same.

What Most Schools Don’t Teach Inspiring Computer Science Short Film

Feb 262013

CodeOrg is a nonprofit focused on getting more people, especially young, bright minds, into computer programming today. Their mantra is simple:

“We believe computer programming should be part of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science and math courses such as biology, chemistry and algebra.”

To help spread the word, the great computer minds of today–such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Chris Bosh (and Will I Am??? Seriously??)–star in this inspiring and nerdy short film, What Most Schools Don’t Teach.
