Apple's Patent Sketch for Its Own Retina-ized Version of Google Glasses is Awwwwwkward [Apple]

Jul 27, 2012 12:40 PM  

Apple's Patent Sketch for Its Own Retina-ized Version of Google Glasses is AwwwwwkwardApple has long been working on a Google Glasses-like heads up display, and have been granted a couple of patents already. But Patently Apple has drudged up their latest one, which promises to bring Retina-quality visuals to the little screen. And intriguing as that may be, the more entertaining thing here is the sketch itself.

The look on the person's face. That boxy attachment for the screen. THE HELMET! All of it adds up to something quite ridiculous. Granted, this isn't a design patent, so whatever Apple is working on will look nothing like this. But for a company as obsessed with image as Apple is, one would have thought even their non-essential sketches would even look good. [USPTO via Patently Apple]

delphi - Disable and change color of node in Treeview -

Image
i looking way of disabling proper nodes . let's have created simple treeview structure below: parent 1 (disable) parent 2 child 1 child 2 (disable) so far have found workaround how that, still doesn't work @ all. use onchanging event handler: procedure tform1.treeviewchanging(sender: tobject; node: ttreenode; var allowchange: boolean); begin if (node.text = 'parent 1') or (node.text = 'child 1') allowchange := false; end; it works, because can't click on node, issue after 'disabling' node way, color of parent 1 , child 1 nodes same other. way change color of nodes (grey)? or maybe know way disabling nodes in ttreeview component? to disable node, set enabled property false . disabled item displayed in gray color. to change normal color of nodes text, change ttreeview.font.color . to change color of disabled nodes text, use oncustomdrawitem event: procedure tform2.treeview1customdrawitem(sender: tcu...

elasticsearch python client - work with many nodes - how to work with sniffer -

i have 1 cluster 2 nodes. i trying understand best practise connect nodes, , check failover when there downtime on 1 node. from documentation : es = elasticsearch( ['esnode1', 'esnode2'], # sniff before doing sniff_on_start=true, # refresh nodes after node fails respond sniff_on_connection_fail=true, # , every 60 seconds sniffer_timeout=60 ) so tried connect nodes this: client = elasticsearch([ip1, ip2],sniff_on_start=true, sniffer_timeout=10,sniff_on_connection_fail=true) where ip1/ip2 machine ip's (for example 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2) in order test it, terminated ip2 (or put non existent if) now, when trying connect, get: transporterror: transporterror(n/a, 'unable sniff hosts - no viable hosts found.') even ip1 exist , up. if trying connect this: es = elasticsearch([ip1, ip2]) then can see in log if client not getting response ip2, move ip1, , return valid response. so missing here something? thought s...

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this
