You might wanna check out The Mega List of 33 Awesome Augmented Reality Apps & Games for Android Augmented Reality is going to be the future of most apps, all it takes is a decent processor, a camera, a compass and a GPS — all of which are becoming increasingly common on smart phones. I have talked about it before too, like AR Apps for Andoird, AR Games for iPhone. Augmented Reality games are obviously cool, but why not check our guide to play temple run for pc.

BBH Weber/Leifels | interactive images | photography and the world wide web Facts and Chicks 13 Business Books That Will Blow Your Mind Having never taken a business class in college I find that I read and listen to a lot of business books to round out my education. The books usually aren't "How to Manage Your Cash Flow" but rather get me to rethink the way I run my business, which--despite no business classes or diploma--continues to be in business 13 plus years after I started it. In that time, here are 13 of the books that had the biggest impact on how I run my business (in no particular order): Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink: If you supervise anyone in your business, this book is a must read. The Knack: How Street-Smart Entrepreneurs Learn to Handle Whatever Comes Up by Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham: I wanted to have at least one book that was dedicated to small business and the entrepreneurial spirit. The beauty of this list is that I get to leave off a whole bunch of mind-blowing business books that you can't believe didn't make the list.

Take 300, for instance. (Want abs like Gerard Butler in 300? Plenty of women, too, appreciated the parade of ripped bodies. At MensHealth.com, 300 has been a sensation as well. One of the most popular videos on our site since then has been the "300 Workout," as demonstrated here by Men's Health contributor Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, M.Sc., a strength and conditioning coach in Toronto. "It looks simple on paper, but I promise you, it's a great muscle building workout," posted one man on MensHealth.com. Another posting noted the extreme interest generated: "I sense a new 'Brad Pitt in Fight Club' standard being born." Butler's training for 300 simultaneously built muscle, increased muscular endurance, and stripped fat fast. Ballantyne put together this workout video series for you to follow along with and—provided you're fit like a king—try for yourself. Watch a Video Demo of the "300" Workout

What Youll Wish Youd Known January 2005 (I wrote this talk for a high school. I never actually gave it, because the school authorities vetoed the plan to invite me.) When I said I was speaking at a high school, my friends were curious. What will you say to high school students? So I asked them, what do you wish someone had told you in high school? I'll start by telling you something you don't have to know in high school: what you want to do with your life. If I were back in high school and someone asked about my plans, I'd say that my first priority was to learn what the options were. It might seem that nothing would be easier than deciding what you like, but it turns out to be hard, partly because it's hard to get an accurate picture of most jobs. But there are other jobs you can't learn about, because no one is doing them yet. And yet every May, speakers all over the country fire up the Standard Graduation Speech, the theme of which is: don't give up on your dreams. Which is an uncomfortable thought. Upwind Now
