Blip: Google Glass eyes the animal kingdom

At TechRadar, we are all in awe of Google Glass and want to get our grubby hands all over it.

Much to our dismay, it looks like the animals at Australia's Taronga Zoo have been able to get much closer to it than we have, as Taronga's zoo keepers have been given the chance to try out the new wearable tech.

They've rather annoyingly put up a YouTube video of their experience with it so far, giving us unique, up-close view of the koalas, giraffes and other animals.

They note in their video that Google Glass allows the keepers to record the animals while being able to use both their hands. They are then be able to pass on the recorded video to other keepers to gather information about each animal.

So now we have another reason to be jealous of zoo keepers. You can check it out for yourself below.

More blips!

In the TechRadar jungle, we've got some more blips. And you don't need Google Glass to have a gander.

More Jobs and Higher Middle Class Incomes as Economic Policy Job #1: Housing Policy Edition

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Source: delong.typepad.com --- Sunday, July 28, 2013
Years late and terabucks short blogging? Four years ago, Obama pivoted to the Axelrod-Geithner line that the decline had stopped, economic recovery was on the way and could handle itself, and that economic policy job #1 was stabilizing the long-term finances of the federal government. Now, after four largely wasted years spent mostly talking about the deficit, he may be pivoting back: "I want to make sure that all of us in Washington are investing as much time, as much energy, as much debate on how we grow the economy and grow the middle class as we?ve spent over the last two to three years arguing about how we reduce the deficits", Mr. Obama said. He called for a shift "away from what I think has been a damaging framework in Washington." This is most welcome. Let us hope that it is indeed permanent. Now the first step is to strike a deal to get the Republicans in the Senate to confirm Mel Watt as head of FHFA, and then for FHFA and the GSEs to offer a conforming loan-rate refi (with equity kickers attached for those underwater) to every mortgage holder in America. That policy to clean out the credit-channel mess created by the housing finance disaster and housing bubble crash of 2004-2008 would have been good policy in 2009. It would have been good policy in 2010. It would have been good policy in 2011. It would have been good policy in 2012. And it would be good policy today. For the easiest and best way to fill up the flat tir ...

Wall Street set for weekly loss as traders cash in

By Rodrigo Campos

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Friday, putting the Dow and the S&P 500 on track to post their first negative week in five ahead of a busy data week and as a strong July winds down.

With three trading days left in the month, the S&P 500 is set to post its best month since January. The Nasdaq's advance makes July so far the best month in a year and a half.

"It's not uncommon for short-term traders to lock a little bit of profits, especially after everyone had a terrible June," said Paul Zemsky, head of asset allocation at ING Investment Management in New York.

June was the first negative month for U.S. stocks since October.

"Coming into the last week of a good month, it's not a crazy idea to take some profits."

Nine of the 10 major S&P 500 industry sector indexes fell and 26 of the 30 Dow components were also down. Zemsky pointed at the broad decline as an indication of profit-taking.

Among the most active names, Expedia shares plunged 24.7 percent to $48.92 a day after the online travel agency reported a quarterly profit far short of market estimates.

Starbucks shares rose 6.9 percent to $72.87 a day after the world's biggest coffee chain reported a bigger-than-expected jump in quarterly profit.

Halfway through earnings season, 67.6 percent of S&P 500 companies that have reported results have beaten analysts' expectations - in line with the 67 percent average beat in the last four quarters.

About 56 percent of the companies have beaten revenue expectations, more than the 48 percent of revenue beats in the past four earnings seasons.

The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> fell 95.31 points or 0.61 percent, to 15,460.30. The S&P 500 <.spx> dropped 7.11 points or 0.42 percent, to 1,683.14. The Nasdaq Composite <.ixic> slipped 5.83 points or 0.16 percent, to 3,599.36.

The S&P 500 is facing resistance at the 1,700 level.

For the week, the S&P 500 is down about 0.53 percent, its first negative week in five. But the benchmark is up 4.8 percent so far in July, its best month since January.

The Dow is down about 0.54 percent for the week. If that trend holds through the closing bell, this would also be the Dow's first negative week in five. For July, the Dow is up 3.7 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 5.8 percent in July so far, its best monthly gain in a year and half. For the week, the Nasdaq is up about 0.33 percent.

Zynga Inc shares plunged 15.7 percent to $2.95 a day after the company announced it will largely abandon plans for real-money gaming in the United States.

Amazon shares turned higher despite a forecast that disappointed on income and revenue. The stock rose 2.3 percent to $310.41, a rebound from a session low at $295.55. Earlier on Friday, Amazon's stock hit a 52-week high of $310.50. UBS raised its price target on the stock to $305 from $275.

Vivendi plans to sell the bulk of its stake in Activision Blizzard Inc to the video game maker and its management for $8.2 billion in the French conglomerate's second blockbuster deal in a week. Activision shares surged 14.2 percent to $17.35.

Red Flags: Readers Share Signs That Their Marriage Was Doomed
