Also, Augmented Reality helicopter drones controlled by smart phones; some of the goings on at Augmented Reality Conferences; and rumors about the next version of the iPhone (which may feature a Face Recognition app). And Eyeglass Computers: existing prototypes; many of the engineering hurdles which must be overcome before we all are wearing eyeglass computers; and why, once they become popular, there may be laws against wearing eyeglass computers.

News item: My father, Melvin Euin Cobb, age 80, passed away peacefully, after several years of declining health, on Sunday, March 27, 2011. To the many listeners who sent me emails of condolences, Thank you; I appreciate it.
