Funky balloon creature--35 feet long!

Wild and Wacky Stuff

Ok. I just saw a demo of a man using his finger to copy a file (on a touch screen) and transfer it to another device simply by touching its touchscreen. So it's easier than Bluetooth. I touch a video on my iPhone, it copies the video to a "cloud", then when I touch your iPhone, it copies the video to your device. Wild.

Hmmmm

For some reason, I couldn't post from my iPhone during the conference, so I am pulling my comments from Facebook.

First one:

Statement I heard this morning: "Math needs to be more creative because it is difficult.". Interesting.
