This iLens comes with an ear piece and is activated by a series of user’s blinks.

Unlike the Google Glass it would appear more eye-catching than the later. The iLens performs like an iPhone.You can make calls, send and receive texts, e-mails, and even scroll through all social media contents.

The iLens will be released in May 2015 and also the iLens Air model in the late 2015. The iLens costs around $299 for 64GB and $499 for 128GB.

Lewis Hamilton :''Like last year's car, but better" (Sports)

As the sun set on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday evening, was it a metaphor for the fading hopes of any team who thought they might challenge Mercedes in Formula 1 this year?

It is a measure of the apparent superiority of the world champions over the rest of the F1 field as pre-season testing comes to an end that the customary game of cloak and dagger has been abandoned.

Usually, teams and drivers will spend the winter trying to convince the media that they don't know where they are, that it is impossible to predict the competitive picture because of the unknowns of fuel loads, car specifications and so on. 

We know they're fibbing; they know we know they're fibbing. The clever computer simulations and mountains of data they work with mean they always know pretty much where they stand. But the evasion is part of the game.

Not this year, though.

Here is a selection of quotes from leading drivers over the course of the final four-day test, which ended at Spain's Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday afternoon.

McLaren's Jenson Button: "Mercedes are unbelievably quick and we are obviously a long way off."

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel: "It's clear Mercedes are in front. After that there seems to be a bit of a gap and then it is a lot closer, between many teams."

Williams' Felipe Massa: "They're quick. We know they're quick. It's not a surprise that Mercedes have a very good package."

Lotus driver Romain Grosjean: "Mercedes are far ahead and then it seems to be quite tight behind."

Not much room for doubt there.

‘The Blacklist’ Renewed for Season 2 (Entertainment)

Thanks to his Emmy-winning antics on Boston Legal and his portrayal of the ultimate corporate survivor and parasite (Robert California) on The Office, James Spader’s electric performance on The Blacklist can’t be described as “surprising,” but it has been well-received and it appears to be one of the major draws for the serialized crime thriller.

How successful has The Blacklist been for NBC? The word “behemoth” comes to mind, with the show standing as the best-rated new broadcast drama this season (among the key adults 18-49 demo), while also outdrawing all other broadcast dramas (new or not) in that same demo. With that kind of performance, it’s no wonder that the network has decided to give the Jon Bokenkamp-produced show a gift in return – a bit of security in the form of a full 22-episode order for season 2.

Here’s NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt’s laudatory words on The Blacklist and the decision to renew the show:

“The success of ‘The Blacklist’ demonstrates that inspired storytelling is alive and well in broadcast television, and I’m impressed on a daily basis by this creative team’s imagination and the extent to which they will go to capture this grand vision on film. [...] With gratitude to both our partners at Sony Pictures Television and our NBC development executives who took a great script and shepherded it into a great series, I hope that Red Reddington never runs out of names to bring down on his list!”

To a certain extent, it’s Greenblatt’s job to hype The Blacklist, and he and the rest of the NBC higher-ups doubtlessly deserve a victory lap. But is it too early to declare that the show is a standard-bearer for inspired storytelling on broadcast TV and not just a show that is very successful and full of potential?

What do you think? Are you happy to see The Blacklist get renewed for season 2?

What’s the purpose of college: A job or an education? (Education)

As the price of college has skyrocketed and tens of thousands of recent graduates have found themselves on the unemployment line or stuck in jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s degree, higher education has come under attack for its failure to make students job-ready. Adding fuel to the debate is a series of what seem to be monthly surveys showing a wide gapbetween what employers want out of today’s college graduates and what schools are producing. 

It all begs the question: Is it solely a college’s responsibility to make students job-ready?

College was once seen as a place where adolescents went to explore courses and majors before settling on a job and career, often well after graduating. 

Since then, in both their attitudes and in their choice of majors, college students have increasingly seen a bachelor’s degree as a means to an end: a job. 

The number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in traditional arts and sciences fields (English, math, and biology, for example) has tumbled from almost half of the undergraduate credentials awarded in 1968 to about a quarter now. The majority of credentials today are awarded in occupational or vocational areas such as education and communications or, more recently, sports management and computer-game design. The most popular undergraduate major is business.

Students and their families, faced with big tuition bills, want to be sure to pick a major that leads to a job after graduation. Colleges worried about filling seats have accommodated them by rolling out a bevy of practical majors, some in fields that didn’t even exist five years ago (think of a bachelor’s degree in Social Media, or perhaps even a master’s).

Such trends worry those who advocate liberal arts studies and the idea that college should be a place to develop a foundational knowledge that provides lifetime benefits. 

It seems everyone is nostalgic for an earlier era of higher education. But those were also the days when an entire tuition bill could be paid by working odd jobs during the summer. That’s no longer the case. Those tuition bills have gone way up, and so too have our expectations for how much we think colleges should do to prepare students for the job market.
