New Star Wars Episode VII “leaked” photos

Here is a gallery on The Escapist-

Today we get more leaked Episode VII photos. We can see the same beast from the first set of photos. The big thing in this one though is the Millennium Falcon. You can also see a couple pictures of a new X-Wing design.

Heres the real question though. What I’m wondering is where is the on-set security for stuff like this? There HAS to be some guards around making sure people don’t take pictures right? There’s no way a multi-million dollar AAA movie production doesn’t have airtight security when it comes to leaking stuff. Which makes me think that they are releasing these on purpose to drum up hype and speculation. What do you think?

Swift – New programming language from Apple

Yesterday Apple revealed a new programming language at WWDC. I’m looking forward to learning it, and seeing what cool new things you can do. I’ll be downloading XCode 6 and seeing what it’s all about later tonight. Once I’ve spent some time with it, I’ll check back in and give you my thoughts.

Here are some useful links from Apple:

Oculus music camera hack

Check out this article.

Here’s an awesome Oculus hack that gives visual feedback for audio. Could have some pretty unique applications. Artists come up with a visual feel for a song or album, and sell you their “experience.” Could be used for music therapy applications too. Combine it with wearable music controllers like a Hot Hand so you can both see and hear what you’re playing. Who knows!
