In "The Facebook Effect" Kirkpatrick said that Facebook's goal is to transform from an application to a platform to a transparent layer in which all computing is done. This new Facebook Home "App" points in that direction. It is said that teens in North America send 60 texts a day (1800/month) Facebook hopes that this app will take a serious piece of that pie.

One day, we may be able to check e-mail or call a friend without ever touching a screen or even speaking to a disembodied helper. Samsung is researching how to bring mind control to its mobile devices with the hope of developing ways for people with mobility impairments to connect to the world. The ultimate goal of the project, say researchers in the company’s Emerging Technology Lab, is to broaden the ways in which all people can interact with devices.
In collaboration with Roozbeh Jafari, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas, Dallas, Samsung researchers are testing how people can use their thoughts to launch an application, select a contact, select a song from a playlist, or power up or down a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. While Samsung has no immediate plans to offer a brain-controlled phone, the early-stage research, which involves a cap studded with EEG-monitoring electrodes, shows how a brain-computer interface could help people with mobility issues complete tasks that would otherwise be impossible.
Brain-computer interfaces that monitor brainwaves through EEG have already made their way to the market. NeuroSky’s headset uses EEG readings as well as electromyography to pick up signals about a person’s level of concentration to control toys and games (see “Next-Generation Toys Read Brain Waves, May Help Kids Focus”). Emotiv Systems sells a headset that reads EEG and facial expression to enhance the experience of gaming (see “Mind-Reading Game Controller”).
Тo use EEG-detected brain signals to control a smartphone, the Samsung and UT Dallas researchers monitored well-known brain activity patterns that occur when people are shown repetitive visual patterns. In their demonstration, the researchers found that people could launch an application and make selections within it by concentrating on an icon that was blinking at a distinctive frequency.
Why It Matters
A brain-controlled mobile device could give paralyzed people more ways to interact with the world while also improving functionality for all of us. Via Miloš Bajčetić
Ken Morrison's insight:
This interests me. Yet, I am not going to want to make a two-year $2,000 commitment on a cell phone. I like the innovation. I don't know if the demand is there to justify it deep deep research that will be needed to make it practical. With that said...WELL DONE SAMSUNG!

Why is this Farmville Cow Sad?
Ken Morrison's insight:
I am sharing this link because I have shared links in the past about online gaming on social platforms. Do you remember the times when we were invited to help on somebody's Farmville farm every time that we logged in? Or play a zombie game. Facebook moved those notices lower on our Newsfeed, and it is played a role in games losing momentum. Here is a list of five reasons why the future of social gaming does not look as strong as it did one year ago. -There's too many social games-They're getting too expensive-The profitability window is short-They're getting harder to monetize-They're still tied to Facebook...

My favorite feature is that if you tell Google Calendar that you have an appointment at point X across town...It will send you an alert if you have not moved close enough to X to make it on time. More importantly, it will tell you 5 minutes (or more) before you leave your office of when you need to leave. Delete the scoop?
