Saginomiya driving simulator steers real car, isn't quite Avatar on wheels (video)

Most simulators act in isolation from the real world, so when we see one that breaks out of its virtual shell, we're more than a little intrigued. Saginomiya has designed a driving simulator that's directly linked to an actual car's components sitting on a six-axis motion system. The whole affair works as a form of virtuous circle for testing, where the real parts feed on the simulator and vice versa: since the simulator is based on the internal model of the car, it can translate road results directly to the suspension and steering of the physical components, which promptly loop around and dictate force feedback in the simulator through actuators in the steering wheel. Apart from creating what amounts to the real real driving simulator, Saginomiya's invention is a huge boon to automakers, which can test how key components work without having to build the whole vehicle first. Sadly, the simulator likely won't reach full-on Avatar levels and steer a car on a real road anytime soon, but it's engaging enough that we can see more than a few test drivers putting in overtime just for kicks.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is calling for more "assertive measures" against Syrian President Bashar Assad, including arming the Syrian opposition. The Obama administration so far has declined to help arm the opposition.

Romney said in a written statement that he welcomed Tuesday's mass expulsion of Syrian diplomats by the U.S. and other countries to protest the weekend massacre of dozens of civilians, including children.

But he said the move underscores the need for stronger measures to end Assad's regime. He said President Barack Obama's "lack of leadership" had created a "policy of paralysis" that has led to the killing of an estimated 10,000 Syrians.

Romney called for increasing pressure on Russia to stop selling arms to Syria, and for Russia to end its obstruction at the United Nations.

Ex-Cameron aide arrested, charged with perjury

LONDON (AP) ? The former top media adviser to Prime Minister David Cameron was arrested and charged with perjury Wednesday in the trial of a flamboyant ex-Scottish lawmaker ? the latest case tied to allegations of wrongdoing by British tabloid newspapers.

Andy Coulson, 44, was detained by Scottish police at his home in London Wednesday morning over an accusation related to testimony he gave in a high-profile case at Glasgow's High Court in 2010, when politician Tommy Sheridan was himself convicted of offering a false account in a legal hearing.

He arrived in Glasgow Wednesday afternoon for questioning there, but was not arrested or charged until late Wednesday evening. In Scotland, which uses a different legal system from the rest of Britain, a suspect can be detained by police to answer questions before being formally arrested or charged.

Strathclyde Police said late Wednesday that a report would now be submitted to Scottish prosecutors, which will determine if Coulson will face court. In Scotland, police can charge a suspect but the decision on whether to prosecute rests with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.

Sheridan had won a lawsuit against the now-defunct News of The World tabloid over its claim that he was embroiled in a sex-and-drugs scandal, but was later jailed for three years after a jury at the 2010 trial ruled that he had committed perjury when he sued the newspaper.

Coulson was editor of the tabloid when stories about Sheridan were published, and working as Cameron's communications director when he gave evidence to the 2010 trial.

The ex-aide, who left his post at the News of The World in 2007 after a reporter and a private investigator were jailed over phone hacking offenses, told the court that he didn't "accept there was a culture of phone hacking" at the tabloid.

He insisted that he had ordered his reporters to work within the law and said that police officers were not paid for information.

Those assurances have since been called into question by revelations of widespread illegal behavior at the paper and allegations ? denied by Coulson ? that he approved and encouraged the shady practices.

Cameron has insisted he had been right to offer Coulson a "second chance," by making him his media chief ? but the ex-aide's resignation early last year, his arrest by London police investigating phone hacking, and Wednesday's detention by Scottish police have raised questions about the British leader's judgment.

The prime minister's ties to both Coulson and their mutual friend Rebekah Brooks, an ex-chief executive of Rupert Murdoch's News International, have brought the tabloid phone hacking scandal to Cameron's doorstep.

Sheridan, who was freed from jail after serving a year of his sentence ? usual practice for crimes of that type in Scotland ? said he now hopes to have his conviction quashed.

"We were led to believe by Mr. Coulson and his acolytes at News International during my trial and the initial phone-hacking investigations that the problem was a rogue reporter," Sheridan told reporters outside his home. "Well, I think we all know now that there is no bad apple in the barrel. What there is is a rotten orchard full of bad apples."

Sheridan's lawyer, Gordon Dangerfield, said he would now appeal the ex-lawmaker's perjury conviction.

In 2006, Sheridan won a defamation suit against the tabloid after it claimed he had visited a swingers' club, had taken part in orgies and used cocaine. However, a year after his courtroom victory against the newspaper, police arrested and charged Sheridan with perjury in connection with the hearing.

The subsequent trial riveted Scotland, with its lurid allegations about sex clubs and tabloid skullduggery.

Coulson arrived in Scotland on Wednesday afternoon for questioning there, but was not formally arrested or charged until Wednesday night.

The police department said the case was tied to Operation Rubicon, a Scottish police investigation into allegations of phone hacking, breaches of data protection and perjury. Those inquiries are running separately to major investigations by London police into newspaper malpractice.

Coulson is currently on police bail in connection with the London inquiry, meaning he must return to answer more questions from detectives there in the near future. He has also testified to the country's media ethics inquiry.

First ever Google Glasses video unveiled ? shot on a trampoline

The first ever video shot with Google's Project Glass high-tech specs has been unveiled by the Internet giant. A trampoline is involved. And a bit of bouncing.

Google?s high-tech specs bounced back into the headlines on Friday when the company released a video shot by someone wearing the special glasses while using a trampoline.

The 15-second video was posted on Google+ this week, alongside a bunch of photos also taken with the specs.

Shot in 720p, viewers get to see a point-of-view shot of someone (presumably not Sergey Brin, though who knows?) wearing the glasses while bouncing up and down on a trampoline, throwing in a few backflips for good measure. And yes, the specs stay on.

The video (you can check it out below) displays none of the glasses? expected augmented reality features ? so no on-screen information about local weather conditions, no location shown on Google Maps and no ads featuring trampoline stores in the area.

Up to now Google has given little indication as to when the smartphone-on-your-face spectacles might be launched ? engineers no doubt still has much work to do on their development and design. There is also a dearth information regarding possible price, though we wouldn?t be surprised to see them costing around the same as a high-end smartphone.

After much speculation about the possibility of Google working on the creation of futuristic specs, the company finally came clean last month, announcing it was indeed developing AR glasses. Calling its endeavor Project Glass, Google said in a blog post that its plan is to ?help you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment.?

The Mountain View company has some competition though ? soon after it announced Project Glass, sunglasses maker Oakley piped up and said it too has been working on producing a pair of AR glasses. Oakley said it?s been developing its specs for the last 15 years. Let?s hope Google doesn?t take that long with its own design.

Actress Megan Good hoping for a Twilight themed wedding

Actress Megan Good who starred in movies such as Jumping the Broom is a Twilight fan, and admits to ?hoping for a Twilight themed wedding!

According to VH1 :

Actress?Meagan Good may play the sexy side-chick in a lot of her TV and film roles, but in real life she?s the woman that hasn?t had sex in at least a year despite being engaged. Yes, you read that correctly. Per?The Insider, Good revealed to?Life & Style that her wedding night will be the first time she?s intimate with her producer/preacher fianc??DeVon Franklin. Good said she knew he was the one because of his willingness to become celibate with her for a year. ?Our wedding night will be the first time we?re actually together,? said the?Think Like A Man and?Californicationstar. Girl, teach us your ways.

Good has publicly vocalized her love for the Lord in countless interviews, and she finally snagged an equally yoked man. She met Franklin while filming last year?s?Jumping the Broom. ?He loves God, more than I love God, so I don?t think there?s anything wrong [with him],? she told the magazine. Well, amen, honey. The 30-year-old beautiful bride to be has already picked out a venue for the wedding, which she hopes for a Twilight theme. ?We found the venue, which I?m really excited about, and it?s going to be in Malibu,? she said. ?I know I want to go for a bayou-themed kind of Spanish mosque, a very enchanted-y Twilight feel.?
