Man, Fleksy’s been struggling like mad lately. It all seemed to start when an expiry date got accidentally leaked out from their beta version onto the real live version.

There Is A Google Glass Sex App. Oh, And Some Other Stuff Happened, Too
I’ve seen a lot in the news about Google Glass, but to be honest, I haven’t paid that much attention to any of it. At least I hadn’t until today when a couple of stories caught my eye. But before we get into those, I’m sure some of you are wondering Steve, what the hell …

Thanks To Microsoft And GW Micro, Accessibility Just Got A Lot More Accessible
It’s not quite buying a computer off the shelf with a built-in screenreader like Voiceover on the Mac, but GW Micro’s plan to give free, fully functional copies of Window-Eyes to anyone running Microsoft Office 2010 or later is sure as hell a pretty big game changer on the Windows side of making accessibility affordably …

Muggers, Much Like The Rest Of The World, Don’t Want A Windows Phone
I’m hardly the person to be telling anyone what sorts of electronics to use, but when muggers are taking your phone, deciding it’s not worth the effort and giving it back, it might be time for an upgrade. Then again, maybe you’ve got the right idea because you get to leave with what you came …

I heard about the possibility of a computer chip to help people diet, and even though I can see what they’re going for, the part of me that’s studied psychology and watched Sci Fi movies gets a wee smidge freaked out. So this chip is supposed to send a signal, based on your blood fat …

I haven’t planted an inside joke in a post in a while…figured I’d go for two weird ones in the title. I heard about something on CBC radio that I’ve been meaning to write about for a while. The morning guy was talking about this app that parents can install on their kids’ phones that …
