What is Augmented Reality (AR)?<br />
<br />
Here's a good video that explains AR, e.g. "<i>a new technology that adds a layer of useful information to the "reality" we see on screens of mobile phone and computers</i>" bit.ly/HlBT5J - <a href="http://bit.ly/HlBT5J">Augmented Reality - Explained by Common Craft (Free Version) - YouTube </a><br />
<br />
In the video, they say look for AR glasses in the future. The future is soon. <a href="http://r.zemanta.com/?u=http%3A//bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/21/google-to-sell-terminator-style-glasses-by-years-end/&a=76680766&rid=c8e654d1-8680-4de4-8954-ef0ce3d9cf3f&e=5429e55a184cc844a2f0e9c327f2b4ca">Google to Sell Heads-Up Display Glasses by Year's End</a> (bits.blogs.nytimes.com)<br />

Do you ever neglect reading any of your email addresses?<br /><br />A: If you answered yes to either question, you can benefit from using Gmail to combine* all of your email addresses to a single Gmail account *AND* be able to send "as" any of your email addresses. After you've set up your email accounts within Gmail, you can then send as any of your email addresses, from the Compose window, use the "From" pop-up field to select the desired account**.<br /><br />*Google (Gmail Help) explains how to do this with "<a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=22370">Adding a custom 'From' address</a>", for example, start by going to Settings–>Accounts - under "Send mail as," click " Add another email address you own"<blockquote cite="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266768215/"><a title="Gmail - Add another email address you own - example" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266768215/"><br /></a><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><a title="Gmail - Add another email address you own - example" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266768215/"> <img src="http://static.flickr.com/1069/3266768215_4323c95824_m.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div></blockquote><p style="margin-left: 40px;" class="citation"><cite cite="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266768215/"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266768215/">Gmail - Add another email address you own - example</a></cite></p><p></p><br />** for example:<br /><blockquote cite="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266727367/"><a title="Gmail - Send as or from any of your email addresses" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266727367/"> <img src="http://static.flickr.com/1280/3266727367_c51072297d_m.jpg" border="0" /><br /></a></blockquote><p class="citation"><cite cite="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266727367/"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53343854@N00/3266727367/">Gmail - Send as or from any of your email addresses</a></cite></p><p></p><!-- tags begin --><p style="font-size: 10px;

It lasted for more than 24 hours. The cause, as it turns out, was that the 30 second electrical outage, due to the replacement of the power meter by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.pge.com/" title="Pacific Gas and Electric Company" rel="homepage">PG&E</a>, broke something within the <a href="http://www.2wire.com/">2Wire</a> router (for our <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-verse" title="U-verse" rel="wikipedia">AT&T U-verse</a>), model 3800HGV-B Gateway . Over the phone, the tech support agent had asked me to power cycle the router, and then to 'reset' the router. These did not resolve the issue, so someone was dispatched. <div><br /></div><div>After reviewing all of the connections, over the course of more than 3 hours, the onsite technician reset the router. This time, that the router was reset, the reset button was held down for 30 seconds, as opposed to the 15 seconds which was recommended by the tech support agent. <div><br /></div><div>Hopefully, the onsite representative will tell his teammates *and* the tech support center, that 30 seconds works better than 15 seconds. But, he may not tell, as he may be embarrassed that he had not tried that at the beginning of his visit, before spending the 3+ hours troubleshooting it as a connectivity issue.<br /><p></p><a href="http://claimid.com/erich13"><img src="http://claimid.com/images/claimid_badge.gif" alt="Eric Herberholz" title="Eric Herberholz" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
