And In Your News Of Geeks and Erotica . . .

Been some saucy geek news today.

The producer of the 50 Shades of Gray Film is looking to produce a Gran Turismo film.  Yes, the video game.  No, I don’t get it.  However it is interesting diversity-wise – and I expect Gran Turismo is intended to focus on the Fast and Furious love out there.

Porn-blocking British MP gets hacked, threatens reporters, seems generally technically illiterate.  Seems to be heading for a nasty meltdown, this person is clearly not that self-aware.  Still the law may affect policy in Britain and other countries so I’d follow this.

Google Glass will be in a porn film.  But not used for it.  Yeah, my only surprise is it took this long.  Important warning to product developers of how these things can get viral in unexpected ways.

But my take?

Not going to work.  No big new market.  No iPhone like fad.  Nothing to warrant everyone out there making a Smart Watch.

Oh sure, some will sell. Some will succeed. But do I think this is the next big thing? The next iPhone? The next tablet?

No.
