Picture of one of the owners of Google spotted riding a train while wearing his $1500.00 Google glasses.
That a man as wealthy as Brin uses the train to get around is quite amusing. With his winter hat, beard and plastic bag, he looks just like a regular guy.Sergey Brin is not pretentious with the detestable economic privilege attitude that some people acquire with a few coins in their pockets. I like the man. He has provided this space for us for going on 7 years free of charge. My hats off to him.

"Atari was one of the very first video game companies, starting way back in 1972. However, this long-running name that brought us titles like Pong and Asteroids is having major financial issues. Atari's United States branches have filed for bankruptcy on Sunday. This bankruptcy is an attempt to separate themselves from their French parent which has quite a bit of debt. The plan is to split from the French parent and find a buyer to form a private company."

 Lionel Mill's film has unique access to Prince Saud bin Abdul Mohsen, one of the rulers of the rich, powerful and secretive Saudi royal family. This is a fascinating insight into the conflicts between tradition and modernity in one of the world's most conservative and autocratic countries.

 "In what appears to be a more-and-more common occurrence, Ahmed Al-Khabez has been expelled from Dawson College in Montreal after he discovered a flaw in the software that the college (and apparently all other colleges across Quebec) uses to track student information. His original intention was to write a mobile app to allow students to access their college account more easily, but during the development of his app he discovered 'sloppy coding' that would allow anyone to access all of the information that the system contains about any student. He was initially ordered to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating that he would never talk about the flaw that he discovered, and he was expelled from the college shortly afterward."

The cop is currently under investigation for abuse of authority. "The ticket was eventually dismissed and a spokesman for the LAPD now says the department is conducting a personnel investigation into the officer’s conduct." He apparently did not know that the bike rider had his helmet cam turned on and was filming the abuse of authority...
