Best Use of Augmented Reality, Ever
I worked with Blaise last year, starting at about the time he took over as architect on Virtual Earth (now Bing Maps). I claim no credit for this work, but I’m proud just the same.

Update: my Israeli friends tell me this was a spoof.

Here’s prime example of technology without context. What happens when a kid brandishing a fake gun, shooting at enemies only he can see, goes out in public and gets shot by police?
The Lancet finally disavowed the original scientifically proven fraud that started the whole "vaccines cause autism" fiasco, which has undoubtedly cost childrens’ lives and done nothing to lower the rate of autism.
The author of the study had a financial interest in his so called findings. No one could reproduce those findings, though at the behest of concerned parents, many tried. And by now everyone of any integrity has disavowed the entire episode.
By that I mean to say that Jenny McCarthy claims the whole thing is a well orchestrated plot against the good doctor Wakefield who promoted the original autism/vaccine link. Yes, every scientist working for peanuts in terms of public money has decided conspire to ruin the life of one innocent man who stood to make considerable money from his so-called discovery. Brilliant plan! (reminds me of one not-too-bright former co-worker of mine who claimed the whole global warming debate was a devious plot by scientists to make more money).
Is it possible to issue a class action lawsuit against people who cause mass public stupidity leading to demonstrable harm? In my mind, it’s not much different than the fire in a theater scenario, especially when there is no fire.
