“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.”

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” – Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Ernest Hemingway kneels while holding a pair of antelope horns during a African safari much like the ones that appear in his short stories.

Hemingway is arguably one of the greatest novelists and short-story writers of all time and his Nobel Prize for Literature (1954) certainly supports this assertion. That said the aforementioned quotation really requires additional explanation and context to be appreciated. I consider myself a fairly well-versed Hemingway enthusiast but I do not recall reading this line in the works I’ve read. I would be grateful for any additional information about the origin of this quote.

Forget about am ultra-thin design, extended battery life or even near field communication (NFC).  The folks at Aatma Studio have produced a slick little video of the features they think should appear in a future generation of iPhones and I tend to agree that these would certainly pique my curiosity.

Whether it is the laser keyboard, the impossibly thin design, or the holographic display I think we can all comfortably agree that these features would be significantly more than the next evolutionary step in the iPhone family tree.  That said they do represent the “art of the possible” for what’s to come.

The engineers from Bavaria enters the intelligent vehicles race || “BMW Tests an Autonomous Vehicle” http://ow.ly/6hxeq

As you can tell from the video the technology has a little bit of a way to go before we’ll be able to race around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca at 160 mph while doing the crossword puzzle and enjoying a latte, but with the significant investment and attention that intelligent vehicles are getting it is safe to say that we’ll be seeing a lot more in the way of computer-assisted driving in the future.
