Technology: Reading Your Mind? There’s an App for That!
November 16, 2012
Seems like only a short while ago when mind-reading was something only Professor X or Mr. Spock could do… make believe, right? Well, you know when sci-fi moves make believe toward reality, I am among the first to share with you. Take a look at MindMeld, a new app for the iPad. Its namesake obviously taken from Mr. Spock’s Vulcan mind-reading technique, MindMeld actually employs voice recognition and complex search technologies to figure what you (and anyone with whom you are conversing) are thinking about… based on what has been said.
Okay, okay… So it is not as spectacular as Professor X telling you about your super-secret teenage rendezvous with your mom’s hot friend back in the day. Freak! Hahaaa. However, we have all been in the conversation where you could not quite think of the title of that song…
the Ice-T song… when he was with the first girlfriend… his baby mama, not Coco… it went like… damn what was that line? Arrgh… something like… “I looked at your lady and I was disgusted”…Â
So frustrating! Until MindMeld pops up a screen with a link to “Rhyme Pays” and you go… THAT’S IT! It’s like… the app… read your mind!
While true, non-verbal, mind-reading may be a way off, MindMeld maker Expect Labs has plans to refine its app to make it even more powerful. This realm of technology, known as anticipatory computing, has some scary (but hopefully benevolent) real world uses. For example, in the near future, doctors could use it to talk with patients – reading between the lines during talks about sensitive topics or catching mentions of symptoms that should be checked. This tech could save lives; or at least, improve quality of life. Bottom line: If managed responsibly, MindMeld could save us much… from a little aggravation to a love one’s life. Check out a product demo of today’s free version of MindMeld after the jump.

Kanye West – “White Dress” (Alternate Version)
November 15, 2012
Wu-Tang frontman, actor, & movie director The RZA let this joint fly onto the web the other day. I like this version better than the one used on the “Man With The Iron Fists” soundtrack. Sounds way more soulful. Check out RZA in the video below speaking on the makings of the song as he provides more insight as to why there is an alternate version.

Norman BA$E – “Poo Poo” (Video)
November 14, 2012
Nice beat by Bruce Lee, and I like the flows Norman BA$E puts down on “Poo Poo.” I cannot even remember how this video came to my attention, but I am glad it did. Good stuff. I’ll share what I have learned about Austin, Texas (by way of Troy, New York) emcee Norman BA$E so far (with the expectation that more info will come later on this up-and-comer).
Noticed on the YouTube video page, that Norman BA$E has a mixtape coming out soon: “Norman BA$E Presents The Death Of Ill Kha-LiL.” Aha – a clue! Learned that Norman BA$E has used Ill Kha-LiL as an artist alias… and there’s a Myspace page for that alias (don’t laugh yet, ’cause I posted on Myspace’s comeback effort a while back) that had an old interview clip giving personal insights from BA$E himself. Score! Check that out after the jump.
