Google looks to the future…by blocking your eyesight?

Have you seen the new Google glasses? Kind of a cool idea, but I’m wondering how you see the oncoming car with a map in the middle of your vision…watch the video!

The glasses have some pretty cool features, though. You can look outside and it’ll give you information about what you’re seeing (like the temperature). Pretty nifty. It will be interesting to see where they go with this innovation as far as making it realistically usable goes.

BuzzFeed faces storm of criticism

BuzzFeed is getting a storm of criticism this week after it posted some questionable pictures and claimed they were from the tornadoes that Dallas/Ft. Worth. 

Three of their pictures may have either been photo shopped or from other disasters. They took down the pictures from their gallery on the Texas storms and posted a correction on the page. But, the error shows that the site is facing higher scrutiny than before. 

Poynter has an interesting article on it and a Storify on the questions about BuzzFeed’s transparency concerns. Check it out!
