10 Modern Devices That Will Change Our Lives
Many believe that we are now experiencing the most intense technological revolution of all time, and that we are transitioning into a High Technology Age, where new advancements will make previous models extinct. Here are some gadgets that are slated to be released in the very near future (some have been released already). Many of these modern devices will change our lives—and the world we live in—for good:

Tooth Sensor
Fear of the dentist can be a very serious issue for many children and adolescents. According to academic researches into Dental Fear and Anxiety, some young people hate dentist visits so much that they often refuse to co-operate, or worse—they don’t even go to the dentist.
The truth is that no one really enjoys going to the dentist regardless of their age, even if it’s just for a plain check-up. Scientists at Princeton and Tufts have been working a thin tooth sensor that may limit the amount of times we will need to get our teeth checked—hence, less visits to the dentist, and a happier population.
The sensor will alert you when it detects any bacteria that could cause cavities, plaque buildup, or any other infections—in this way you’ll be able to prevent a major problem, and thereby avoid the dentist’s office.

Wing Roller Coasters
Welcome to the future of fun and entertainment. Developed by Bollinger & Mabillard, Wing Coasters are a type of roller coaster that places the passenger on the sides of the track, giving them the illusion that they’re riding on the wing of a plane. There’s nothing below or above them. There are currently four in the world: three of them are in the US, and a fifth is planned to open in China sometime during 2013.
It’s not recommended for people who are afraid of high rises, nor for those of us who have a propensity to vomit. Some things simply don’t go together, no matter how advanced the technology might be.

Oculus Rift
Some call it a revolution in gaming—and not unfairly so. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset, which has the potential of changing the gaming industry for ever.
Gamers already benefit from the great design and graphical capacities of current console and PC games, but Oculus Rift might be the device that finally brings players right into the middle of the action. We can only imagine how this new technology will be incorporated into the games we already know so well. What will multiplayer will be like, perhaps a decade or two from now?

Parallella
Parallella is going to change the way that computers are made, and Adapteva offers everyone the chance to participate in this revolution. Simply put, it’s a supercomputer for the average person.
Real-time object tracking, holographic heads-up display, and speech recognition will all become even smarter and more effective thanks to Parallella. Considering that it’s essentially a mini supercomputer, the price is incredible, at only $99. It’s not recommended for the non-programmer and non-Linux user, but if you do have the know-how, the kit is loaded with development software to create your own personal projects.

The 4K TVs
The tendency of replacing classical television with digital television has been going on for a while, but the 4K TVs will probably be the final hit for this old industry. The 4K terminals can display movies with resolutions four times bigger than HDTV, so it is understood why they’re so appreciated.
For the moment, the price is prohibitive, and the current capabilities of televisions would not be able to ensure a solid number of programs that can be enjoyed on this device—but all the same, it is a huge step forward in terms of clarity and fidelity. How long before a 4K TV becomes a realistic purchase? Some might tell you that it’s a matter of weeks. You can already buy 4K televisions with Soni’s 55 and 65 inch models coming in at $5,000 and its 84 inch going for the tidy sum of 24 thousand. And it is already supported on Youtube. Here is a beautiful 4K video of ink drops (note: switch quality to “original” for the 4k version).
5 Things Liberals Have Done That Are Crazier Than Melissa Harris-Perry’s Tampon Earrings
By now the whole world knows about the stunt that MSNBC anchor Melissa Harris-Perry pulled this weekend. Apparently under the impression that she was being clever, she donned tampon earrings and advised women in the Texas legislature to wear them as a means of protesting anti-abortion legislation.
In response to this, Dennis Miller cleverly quipped that she should only be allowed to do her show once a month for five days. Oh, yeah. He also called her a moron.
She certainly deserves the endless derision being heaped upon her. However, leftists have done far crazier and stupider things in an effort to try to forcefeed their propaganda on the American people. Most of them have gone over about as well as Harri-Perry’s object lesson.
Here are 5 things that liberals have done that are even more bizarre than the tampon earring incident.
1. Whoopi Goldberg criticizing George W. Bush by talking about her “bush”
Yeah, she went there. Back in 2004, while performing what we will generously call a “comedy routine” at a Kerry/Edwards fundraiser, Whoopi said this: “That’s why I’m here tonight. Because I love bush. But someone’s giving bush a bad name. Someone has tarnished name of `bush.’ Someone has waged war, someone has deliberately misled the country, someone has attempted to amend the constitution, all in the name of bush. The bush I know and cherish would never do such things. My bush is smarter than that. And if my bush is smarter than that, you can understand just how dumb I think that other bush is. And anyone who would wave to Stevie Wonder is not fully there. I will do whatever it takes to restore bush to its rightful place and that ain’t in the White House. Vote your heart and mind and keep bush where it belongs.”
2. Chris Matthews saying that Republicans who call Obama “the food stamp President” are racist
Question: how can you tell when a liberal has lost a debate? Answer: when he starts calling you a racist.
That’s exactly how Chris Matthews responds to Republicans who bring up statistical facts about the number of people on food stamps during the Obama presidency. When facts aren’t on the side of a liberal, he’ll play the race card.
Fortunately, Newt Gingrich was on hand to put Chris Matthews in his place. On one episode ofHardball, Chris stupidly tried that line on Newt. Newt replied that Chris was a racist because he thinks that food stamps must refer to blacks. Zing!
3. An Ivy League professor calling God a “racist” in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict
Why does it seem like Ivy League professors are some of the stupidest liberals on the planet?
Anthea Butler decided to take her bitterness to new heights by playing the race card on… God. Here’s what she wrote: “God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us. As a black woman in an [sic] nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god. As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men.”
4. Texas pro-abortion protesters chanting “Hail Satan!”
Honestly, we try to keep an open mind on issues. We try to see both sides of every controversy and make an attempt to evaluate things from the other person’s perspective.
And then, every once in a while, something comes along that convinces us that that the issue is not just a matter of perspective, it’s about good vs. evil. That was the case when pro-abortion demonstrators just recently chanted “Hail Satan!” while opposing the Texas legislature’s attempt to place reasonable restrictions on abortion.
5. David Sirota hoping that the Boston bomber was a white male
In the wake of the Boston bombing, before the police had identified the Tsarnaev brothers as the culprits, David Sirota wrote a column for Salon entitled, “Let’s Hope The Boston Marathon Bomber Is A White American”.
In a way, he got his wish. The bombers were Caucasian. By that, we mean they were from the Caucasus region of Eastern Europe, where there is a strong component of radical Islam. Also, one of them was an American citizen who stuck his finger in the eye of the American government by becoming a citizen on the anniversary of 9/11.
Sadly, we don’t think that David Sirota had foreign-born Muslims in mind when he wished aloud that his narrative would be validated. Unfortunately, he’ll have to accept the reality that acts of terrorism in this country are much more likely to be caused by Muslim radicals than by any other religious or ethnic group.

WSJ: OBAMA WORST PRESIDENT FOR MIDDLE CLASS 'IN MODERN TIMES'
The Wall Street Journal published a lead editorial on Thursday that responded harshly to President Barack Obama's new series of economic speeches. "The President called his speech 'A Better Bargain for the Middle Class,' but no President has done worse by the middle class in modern times," the editorial noted.
The article went on to highlight several key areas in which the Obama presidency has harmed middle-class Americans.
The economy has become more unequal under Obama. "For four and a half years, Mr. Obama has focused his policies on reducing inequality rather than increasing growth," the Journal notes. "The predictable result has been more inequality and less growth." The rich have done well; the middle class has struggled.
Middle class incomes have fallen under Obama. The Journal points out that median real household income has fallen by 5%--not just since the start of the recession under George W. Bush, but also since the start of the economy recovery in 2009, for which Obama and the Democrats have often claimed sole credit.
The administration has constantly failed to meet promises of faster growth. Contrary to Obama's cherry-picked statistics in his recent speech, theJournal reminds readers that the Obama recovery is "one of the weakest on record," despite repeated rosy projections by the White House and the media of fast growth.
Obama has made entitlements are a drag on the middle class. TheJournal focuses on ObamaCare, which has hurt job creation and created uncertainty. It could have also mentioned the failing state of Social Security and Medicare, which Obama has failed to reform, and the future cost of Obama's staggering debt.
Even Obama's few pro-growth initiatives are not serious. Despite the Journal's early, enthusiastic support for immigration reform as an engine for expansion, the authors of the editorial finally admit: "we're not sure [Obama] wants even that to pass...he may be setting it up to use as a campaign wedge in 2014."
