Twitter Google Glass Eyewear App No Longer Available

It has been discovered this week by a Reddit member using the Google Glass Twitter app, that Twitter has removed support for its Google Glass eyewear application and removed the app from the Google Glass online app store.

The Reddit user discovered the removal after uninstalling the application from their Google Glass eyewear and then realised the Twitter application had been removed from the Google Glass at online store.

It seems that Twitter has removed support for  Glass without any remorse or warning but the app does currently still work if you have the Twitter application already installed on your Google glass eyewear, just don’t uninstall it.

The news of the removal of the Twitter app from the store, now means that a developer will need to create a Google Glass application using the Twitter API for users to be able to access their Twitter feeds and notifications.

Think Stand Minimalist Tablet Stand

Tablet owners that are looking for a more ergonomic stand that provides a range of variable angles to view and type on their iOS and Android tablets may be interested in a new tablet stand called the Think Stand that has been designed by engineer Kitae Kwon.
The Think Stand uses a micro suction pad to provide a variety of different viewing angles for both typing and viewing media from your tablet. Without the bulk of many tablet cases and stands that are currently available on the market, watch the video below to learn more

 “The Apple Smart Cover is great for protecting your iPad, but it gives you only two fixed viewing options – one that is nearly vertical, and one that is practically horizontal – neither of which are comfortable for any period of time. Third party iPad stands are complicated and underwhelming, and they detract from the stunning design of the Apple tablet. And they take a lot of your desktop space.

We created Think Stand to offer you the most comfortable, versatile, and intuitive viewing experience ever for iPad. Each person is different, which is why a fully adjustable iPad stand provides maximum comfort during short and long periods of use. Whether you are at home or on-the-go, Think Stand provides the best iPad viewing experience you deserve.”

Firefox OS Launching For Raspberry Pi Mini PC In 2015

During MozFest 2014 Held in London over the weekend Mozilla unveiled its Fire OS plans to release a downloadable or flashable version of the Fire operating system for makers and developers to load onto their Raspberry Pi computers.

The Fire OS is hoping to provide an alternative to the likes of Raspbian as a software tool for teaching and allowing web programming to robotics and drones and is currently in the very first stages of development.

At the current time the Raspberry Pi Fire OS software is in a very early version and Mozilla warns that the software is “literally demoware” cobbled together based on the work of Romashin and Phillip Wagner who released a Firefox OS build for Pi last year.The ZDnet website explains :

“The goal clearly is to move beyond this state and to make it a safer product for general hobbysts to play with. Nonetheless, Mozilla’s wiki offers a place for contributors to share knowledge and track bug fixes along the way as well as laying out an ambitious list of milestones to make it useful for hobbyists, such as the ability to read from sensors and control motors, LEDS, solenoids, slave boards, as well as having Firefox OS powering a flying drone.”

The plan is that Mozilla can have their Firefox OS at parity with Raspbian as a hobbyist OS by 2015. During which it will launch a series of development challenges to consolidate targets outlined this year.

The current Fire OS demo version runs inside Raspbian
