Pokémon Go After Level 20

Pokémon Go was reviewed on these pages around one month ago shortly after its release. Never before have we seen such hysteria over an app - an app that notably does nothing other than catch cute little pocket monsters to be stored in a virtual wallet that you can proudly show off to your co-workers and friends. So let's cut to the chase. The "game" (if one could call it that) is a nice way to kill some time as a passenger in transit or while walking city streets or walking along a beach or walking through a park or off a bridge. The zombies who stare into their phones in the usual places are now free to roam the world while totally unaware of their surroundings. You will be rewarded for travelling to Earth landmarks and the best part is you don't have to keep your eyes off your phone.

Facebook Finally Does Something Right With Facebook Live

A new paradigm was ushered in a few months ago and, unfortunately, was just introduced viral to the masses in the way of tragedy with yet another police shooting. I'm talking about Facebook Live Streaming. On the other hand we could say it was fortunate that this new technological advancement over at the Facebook office was available so this time justice can be served by presenting evidence - evidence without reasonable doubt in these shooting cases. Whether or not you agree with that premise, it is almost impossible to disagree that this new FB feature is BIG.


Pokémon GO Trending As Latest Fad

Niantic Labs' new app "Pokémon Go" seems to be catching on in a big way, so I thought let's give it a gander. For the purpose of this article I went ahead and downloaded the app. The installation experience went quite smoothly. You can sign in via a Google account or a "Trainer Account." Once logged in a short demo covers the simple yet fun exploration game.

iOS 10!!!!

Don't get too excited, iOS 10 won't be out until fall. However, Siri is supposedly getting a big upgrade that will enhance its intelligence, which is exciting news. If you want, you can jump through all the hoops and hurdles to enroll in iOS 10 beta. I looked into that briefly but, wow, what a pain in the ass.

The Big Secret About Quantum Computing

PM Justin Trudeau made American conservative politicians look even all the more relatively stupid while impressively detailing some basic aspects of quantum computing with an assortment of physics equations in the background. Imagine Donald Trump's explanation: "I have many friends who work with computers and they tell me it's going to be great. Really great. It will make our military huge and no one will push America around again."

Review Of Nintendo's First App: Miitomo

Wow, I just realized how much I miss my Nintendo Wii after testing out their new app called Miitomo. The Wii browsing experience is quite similar, that is because the Mii in Miitomo represents you within this cartoon social network. So what is there to do in the app?

You Can "Go" Your Own Way

SEOUL, S. KOREA - If it weren't bad enough for South Koreans that the crazy dictator next door just announced there's nothing wrong with arming nuclear warheads, local hero and Go champ, Lee Sedol, just lost to a damn machine. It was only after a couple opening moves that the match became feverishly intense, every move a tightrope balancing act between both players. The middle of the match settled into a brief, slow dance between the pair with their respective pieces drawing symmetrical art through sections of the board.

Mark Zuckerberg Definitely Doesn't Want To Be Tagged As A Luddite

MENLO PARK , CA - “It is deeply unfortunate that luminaries such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have contributed to feverish hand-wringing about a looming artificial intelligence apocalypse,” said ITIF President Robert D. Atkinson. “Do we think either of them personally are Luddites? No, of course not. They are pioneers of science and technology. But they and others have done a disservice to the public—and have unquestionably given aid and comfort to an increasingly pervasive neo-Luddite impulse in society today—by demonizing AI in the popular imagination.” - 2015 Luddite Awards

YouTube Video Actually Not Bad

The Futureslaver Team has been busy scouring the internet for oddities and came upon a video which purported to show us seven technologies that we didn't know existed. We were highly skeptical since it is our job 24/7 to research tech. Hence, we were quite stunned when not a single member of the team was familiar with any of the techs featured in the video.
