This is the AK-47 that guitar maker Jimmy DiResta turned into a fully functional guitar for Wycleaf Jean. It carries a powerful message. One about…Haiti? Okay so maybe I don’t know what the message is, or if there even is one. Not everything has to make some sort of social or political statement you know. I like how there’s a little mini-guitar on the gun’s magazine, that was a nice touch. The gold paint? That was a Midas touch. HAHA, SOMEBODY COME SMASH MY F***ING HANDS WITH A HAMMER SO I CAN’T TYPE ANYMORE.
Hit the jump for a worthwhile time-lapse of Jimmy building the guitar — it really is pretty impressive.

Best answer:
Answer by TimGenerally speaking – No, it’s not easy unless you planned from the start for portability.
iOS and Android do a lot of the same stuff in similar sort of ways, but the fundamentals of the languages and interface design structure is different enough the porting native apps has to basically be done from scratch. Lots of projects online have tried to find ways around this, for example you can code a simpler app as a web app and use cross-platform frameworks like PhoneGap. And note that different types of app pose different problems for porting, for example OpenGL ES is basically the same libraries in C and Java but the differences in language and objects will change how you organize things.
The best approach is to plan ahead. For new app projects it often makes sense to scale down and focus on one platform initially (iOS usually has the greatest potential for return), but you want to keep portability an option in how you choose to organize and code the app from the initial architectural and design stages.

My dad recently passed away in Poland and left me his condo. Once sold i would like to purchase a house here in the states. Other then physically sneaking the money with me on the plane, is there some way i can transfer the funds electronically, while avoiding conversion and transfer fees… and taxes?
note: I have duel-citizenship, born in Poland / American through naturalization.

Answer by ShimThese fees are mandatory and our obligation to our respective government. You cannot avoid them, perhaps just lessen the amount. Depending on the amount you wish to transfer, you may check with Xoom.. it is very convenient and lesser rate as compared to others. Just make sure you won’t exceed the maximum limit. There is also Ikobo, but charges are high. You may open a business account w/ paypal too..
There are actually a lot of option if you want to transfer electronically.
However, doing it the right way..like bank to bank would be a safer deal. At the same time, you’ll be doing favor for Poland.
Blessings!

This is the Daewoo Matiz that retired mechanic Alan Bennet modded into a Batmobile from the original TV series for his six-year old grandson Alfie. Alan spent over £5,000 (~$ 7,700 — and I have no clue where all that money went) modding the car after it failed its inspection and the vehicle is not street legal. Which is a good because the last thing we need is a six-year old zooming around in it while sitting on a stack of phone books with toilet plungers taped to his legs because he can’t see over the steering wheel or reach the pedals. Did I ever tell you I tried to teach myself how to drive a car while sitting in the passenger seat? It ended poorly…in a neighbor’s yard. Sucks too because they were having a barbeque.
Hit the jump for several more shots including a few of the interior featuring a red Bat phone.
Captain Chris Pine and his similarly-attractive, ever-glaring crew are back in a new trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness. In today’s episode, the Enterprise team explore the strange new civilization of England, where they encounter a startling new life form: a soap opera villain whose language is based in melodramatic promises to destroy everyone. Sometimes Alice Eve just stands around in her underwear. Data attempts to train his cat, Spot, without success.

The hardest thing about watching TV is finding the remote after a long, slovenly lounge on the couch. Cube26 aims to improve on that situation by turning your TV, phone, or tablet into a face-detecting powerhouse. What does that mean? Basically, your TV or other device will know when you’re looking at it, who is in the room with you, and, more importantly, it will pause the program, call, or game when you leave the room.
Founded by Cornell grads Saurav Kumar and Aakash Jain, Cube26 is still in beta, but from what I saw it works quite well on multiple platforms. For example, in addition to the aforementioned “bathroom pause,” the system can tell when you’re talking on the phone and put other devices on hold. You can also use the system for parental control as it can recognize people in the room and plan content accordingly.
“Other players in vision control are generally focused on one specific area, for example concentrating on hand-gesture detection for TV control or face recognition or body control,” said Kumar. “We believe in making the interaction with devices as natural as possible. For example, when you want to mute the volume for a device, instead of using hand gestures to do some pre-defined pattern, how about you say ‘ssshhh!’ to make a ‘keep quiet’ gesture?”
The company is bootstrapping now and expects to have some traction in OEM hardware over the next few months. They haven’t named any hardware partners, but they were at CES to look for distributors for the technology.
The project aims to take a holistic approach to system interaction.
“For vision control to be natural we believe that the solution is to leverage a wide range of vision signals from the user – both implicit and explicit. Signals include presence detection, gesture, age and gender detection, face recognition and eye tracking, and hand gestures.”
In other words, the system works best with passive, instinctual commands. Unlike the Kinect and similar motion controllers, the system is always watching the room for changes, allowing for a more integrated experience.
The founders came together at a startup weekend organized by Microsoft. They got together for six months of development and focused from making eye-tracking systems for marketers onto “natural control” of devices.
Again, much of this tech is fairly pie-in-the-sky right now, but as the speed of embedded systems improves I don’t see why this couldn’t be embedded right into a TV or phone, thereby adding real smart features to otherwise dumb devices.
Microsoft’s Surface RT tablet is currently only available in the company’s stores across the US or online in select countries, but that might be about to change. Paul Thurrott over at Windows IT Pro is reporting that Microsoft’s original plans to extend retail store availability, tentatively scheduled for early 2013, have been pushed forward. Thurrott says that within days Surface will be “available far more broadly than via its current, limited distribution system.”
Recent reports have suggested that a lack of distribution is “killing” Surface sales. Surface has been spotted in Verizon stores recently, but Microsoft has continually declined to discuss its plans for additional Surface distribution. If the report is accurate then we…
