If you find yourself asking these questions, check out this new infographic from Martin Missfeldt. It explains the science of Glass, as well as the science of our eyes, in an easy to understand way.

What many people may not realize is that Glass doesn’t display information via a screen, but rather projects light directly into the eye. That is how those wearing Glass are able to see the real world with only a small layer of augmented reality content overlapping everything else.

Unfortunately, the effect is lessened for those wearing glasses as lenses dissipate light, including the light projected from Glass. I guess that’s what futuristic contact lenses and brain interfaces are for.

It turns out that there is as Samsung has released an official infographic detailing the specs of its latest flagship device. The infographic includes all the necessary information you need to know about the Galaxy S 4 including its 5-inch Super AMOLED display, it’s 1.6GHz octa-cor processor, and its 13MP rear camera.

What the infographic fails to mention (or didn’t have room for) is that the Galaxy S 4 will also come equipped with some new software that’s part gimmick and part amazing. “Smart Pause” and “Smart Scroll” will use head and eye tracking technology to pause video and scroll Web pages all based on where your eyes are looking. “Air View” will provide previews of content when you hold your finger over an area.

We’re sure to learn more about the Galaxy S 4 as we approach its launch in the second quarter of this year, including its sure to be expensive price.

The folks at Online Degrees recently created an infographic that shows how 3D printing will have a profound impact on the future of education. Of course, the most obvious benefit will be for design students using 3D printers to bring their creations to life. That being said, pretty much every discipline will be able to benefit from 3D printing in the future.

Of course, 3D printers and expensive, and schools are having to slash budgets. That’s where the innovative entrepreneurs comes in. A recent Kickstarter was offering two 3D printers for only $700. The goal was to get as many of these things into schools as possible. Unfortunately, the project wasn’t able to meet it’s funding goal. An equally exciting cheap 3D printing project, the 3Doodler, has recently smashed its funding goal, however, and could prove extremely useful in certain disciplines.

The cyclical nature of popular tech has been documented in a new infographic from Insurace2go. The information may be popular tech from the UK, but I think you’ll find that it’s largely analogous to popular tech in the U.S. As you’ll see, game consoles and phones have dominated popular tech for the past 30 years with both going in and out of vogue until something new comes out.

The past few years have been dominated by mobile devices like the iPad and the Galaxy Note, so does that mean that game consoles are going to move back in on their turf? Probably not, unless the next PlayStation or Xbox really wow consumers. I’m with Insuracen2go on this one – the next popular technology will involve wearable computing.

While many fans came to the show fresh off a love for the comic books (which were written by fellow Kentuckian Robert Kirkman, I feel obliged to say), the AMC hit has appealed to thousands who never followed the books and simply love the story, the gore, and the drama that spins out between characters who are often at odds with one another. But there’s still a lot fans may not know about how the show operates, or what goes on behind the scenes. That’s where this infographic comes in.

But I digress. Any festival lineup is going to have its supporters and its detractors. Coachella 2013 has some great acts, and some less inspiring acts. That’s the way it’s gonna be.

Luckily, we can use the Coachella lineup to determine a person’s hipster cred, although we can’t really figure out which end of the spectrum is more desirable. Sometimes it’s nice to be a “disgusting mainstream whore.” Unless you’re “pure filth hipster scum,” in which case it’s so mainstream to kind of like the mainstream.

It’s simple – you’re assigned positive of negative points for every band in the festival that you like. Red Hot Chili Peppers are the most offensive to hipster, with a score of -10. If you find yourself liking bands like the Wombats, Cassy, and Sam XL Pure Filth Sound, you’re going to skyrocket up the hipster chart.

Most people are no doubt aware of the manufacturing advantages that 3D printing brings to the table, but it goes beyond simple reductions in the the time required to bring a product to market. 3D printing, and the inherent openness it extols, are opening up new avenues of innovation in markets that normally wouldn’t be performing their own manufacturing like small businesses, hospitals and schools. Industries that do manufacture their own objects, like defense and aerospace, are also seeing changes thanks to 3D printing.

So, where will 3D printing go from here? You can expect more industries to adopt 3D printing as a way to help consumers personalize products. In fact, involving the consumer in the manufacturing process may just lead to more business as more consumers demand to have things created in their own unique style. 3D printing can help businesses achieve this goal and drive consumer demand by working directly with said consumers.

The stats released by YouTube today show the site is becoming more and more important to the news cycle in America and around the world. To illustrate that, the site boasts that 7,000 hours of news-related content is uploaded to YouTube daily. All of that content provides differing opinions, angles and sources to help viewers form a more educated opinion of world events than if they were to just watch one or two regular news channels.

As for the big news events of the year, YouTube rightfully points to Hurricane Sandy as being the major event of the year. In fact, 39,000 videos were uploaded in the week during the storm and the Weather Channel used YouTube to continuously live stream coverage of the storm for more than 70 hours.

The only thing that could compete with Sandy were the presidential election, and it did not disappoint. YouTube reveals that videos tagged Obama or Romney were viewed over 2.7 billion times during the election cycle. The debates also drew 27 million views on YouTube.

Other notable stories in 2012 that received millions of views included the conflict in Syria, the Red Bull Stratos Jump, the landing of the Mars Rover, and the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

But the people over at the National Post in Canada decided to take on the challenge, and have created this infographic just for you, the curious, morbid zombie fan. Here’s a breakdown of every kill on the entire series (WARNING: Spoilers! If you haven’t caught up to the latest season, don’t scroll down!), who did it, and what they did it with. Enjoy a nostalgic look back.

Special hat-tip to the Zombie Research Society for the graphic.

A recent study from Squaretrade, an electronics warranty service, found that a lot of people aren’t careful with their iPhones when they’re at home. In fact, 51 percent of all iPhone accidents happen in or around the home. It’s here where you feel safest, and you probably let your guard down enough to have your iPhone fall into the sink.

Speaking of sinks, 21 percent of all accidents happen in the kitchen. Following closely behind in second place, 18 percent of all accidents happen in the living room. Rounding out the top three is the bathroom where 16 percent of all accidents happen.

Some of the most prevalent dangers threatening iPhones around the home is water. In fact, 5 percent of iPhone owners have left the device in the washer. Another nine percent have admitted to dropping their phone in the toilet. The latter statistic makes perfect sense as many users reported in a previous survey that they must take their phones into the bathroom with them.

As for liquid abuse, water is the main aggressor as 43 percent of all accidents involve H2O. The rest of the liquid aggressors in order are soda, beer and a combination of coffee and tea. I don’t know if that says iPhone users drink mostly water, or if they’re just more careful around other liquids.
