Future, present and an alternate past

A short movie looking at how Augmented Cognition ("AugCon") might be achieved in the future (the opening is slow, ignore it until people start talking). AugCon is a DARPA project to assist information management under stressful situations. Very cyberpunk.

Interesting article on attitudes in Germany and why Anti-Americanism is so prevalent there.

I am not much for first person shooter games but Resistance: Fall of Man quite fascinates me. Probable because of its alternate history. Nice mock film clip from the Trials of Russia of the R:FoM world on this site.
