Facebook Messenger for Android updated with chat head support

Facebook Messenger for Android updated with chat head support

If you’re an outright Facebook addict, then today is the day you’ve been waiting for. House needs to formally be hitting the Play shop at some point today. In preparation for its launching, the company has actually just upgraded its Messenger app. The modification log attributes the normal slew of bug repairs but, most notably, it adds support for chat heads. Those floating IM faster ways are one of the most expected attributes of Facebook’s homescreen replacement, and appear to be as irritating as they are hassle-free. To obtain your upgrade, visit the Play store now.

Update: The official Facebook app has also been updated, with the approvals necessary to run House. However, we’re not seeing the launcher yet, either buried in the Facebook app’s settings or in the Play store. We’ll be keeping an eye out, however.

I’m Crushing Your Head: Zombie Faced Slippers

zombie-slippers.jpg

Are they supposed to be like, eating your feet, or are you STOMPING THEIR FACES? This is a pair of $ 30 dangling-eye zombie head slippers from Firebox. Their currently available for pre-order and are one-size-fits-most up to a men’s 10.5. Which is a shame, because I’m a solid 12. And you know what they say about guys with big feet, don’t you? They’re generally taller. I’m 6’1″ with the pecker of a child.

Thanks to Tallon, who wears shoes to bed because he was a Boy Scout and never lets his guard down.

Sony Patent Reveals Google Glass Competitor With A Head Mounted Display For Each Eye

sony-glass-1

Watch out, Google. A recently published patent application reveals that Sony’s head mounted display glasses are progressing down the evolutionary path rather nicely. What once amounted to just wide-eyed concepts, this latest patent filing, a continuation patent filed on November 14, 2012, shows that Sony, with perhaps a bit of inspiration for Google Glass, is nearing a practical model. And unlike Google’s take on HMDs, Sony’s has information displays for both eyes.

This isn’t the first patent to reveal Sony’s HMD aspirations. A patent published in the summer of 2012 shows a futuristic device — it looks like something from a made-for-TV sci-fi movie. The device in that patent has two lens, not connected by a traditional bridge, with each lens acting also serving as a display. There are cameras and battery packs and the works. This is, after all, just a concept.

Sony’s most recent patent is a more practical take on HMD glasses. They’re built on a traditional glasses frame in a sort of Google Glass fashion. The actual pop-up display sits behind the glasses’ lenses and, as previously mentioned, there are two displays along with ear buds mounted on little arms.

The patent doesn’t reveal any information on the displayed content, but it does state it’s a 2D interface. The screens are also movable by several millimeters, allowing the wearing to fine tune the placement.

Sony has long history with head mounted displays and augmented reality units including commercially available home entertainment devices like the HMZ-T2 Personal 3d Viewer. This recent filing is a continuation on patents filed in 2008 and 2009; Sony has been working on this particular device for a significant amount of time. A bunch of recent patent filings show the company is committed to these devices. Google is not alone in this space.

The war for your eyes is about to take on a whole new meaning.

This is a brand new market. There is enough room for Sony, Google and likely several companies quietly building their own head mounted displays. Each company has unique strengths. Google has the advantage of its all-knowing, always-connected services. Sony has been building world-class hardware for 50 years — and has a dynamic new CEO in Kazuo Hirai.

Now about that bar in Seattle. They only banned Google’s model, right?

Walnut Chewbacca (If You Squint And Shake Your Head)

walnut-chewbacca.jpg

This is a shot of the Chewbacca face Geekologie reader and drinker Blark saw after drunkenly cracking a walnut on a trip to England. Yes, it’s that kind of news day. Personally, I think it looks more like Chewbacca wearing the top part of the Boushh bounty hunter mask that Princess Leia uses gain access to Jabba’s Palace undetected, but…Jesus, I can’t believe I just wrote any of this.

Thanks to Blark, whose fault this is.

Microsoft’s head of Xbox doesn’t see Valve as a competitor, happy with curated apps

Xboxstock1_640_large_medium

Valve is preparing to enter the console market with its “Steam Box” gaming hardware, but Microsoft doesn’t consider it as a competitor just yet. Speaking at Microsoft’s TechForum this week, Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business, fielded questions about the strategy for Xbox and its competition. Asked about viewing Valve as a competitor, Mattrick simply said “no” before noting Valve is “doing some innovative stuff” and creating some great experiences. “The scale of products and things that are being brought to market are probably a little bit richer when I look at Sony, Nintendo, Apple, and Google,” noted Mattrick.

“I love Gabe…”

Despite not viewing Valve as a competitor in the console space, Mattrick has…

Uh-Oh: Robotic BigDog Now Has A Brick-Throwing Head

bigdog-throwing-bricks.jpg

How do you make a BigDog quadruped robot even more terrifying? Simple, add a cinderblock-throwing head attachment. It can actually chuck them pretty far too — probably about as far as I could. So if it ever comes down to a cinderblock throwing duel to the death, it could be anybody’s game. I only ask you avenge my death when it kills me.

Hit the jump, watch the video, and start boarding up any ground-level windows in your house.

BlackBerry Z10 review: a new life, or life support?

BlackBerry (it’s not RIM anymore, people) needs a hit. Badly. Not only has the company lost its cachet in the smartphone industry, it’s lost revenue and customers left and right. It’s betting big on the Z10, a thoroughly modern smartphone that runs the company’s new BB 10 operating system. Is this handset enough to bring BlackBerry back into the…
