    Google Glass Patent shows add-on kits to be made available for those with prescription glasses

    The latest on the Google Glass front is a real sight for sore eyes. Google Glass kits will also become easily available for those require prescription glasses. This might be something we naturally assumed seeing has a larger portion of the world population does wear specials, myself included in that survey. The new add on kits are designed by Google and were already showcased at their May I/O event. The kit will be available in stores and is a sort of DIY scenario. Parts and materials will be available with the kit and from the looks of the schematics and drawings, it seems like an easy fit.
    google-gass-patent-1

    Part of the kit will include arms for the side that would house the circuitry, power packs and other communication modules. Aluminium would be used as the rim but it?s also possible that other metals like stainless steel, titanium, nickel, gold, or various alloys would not be a problem to use. It would even be possible to fit the arms into plastic casings as long as the interior was solid enough to safely house the components. The patent has already been sent in and although it?s far from ready to be deployed, we?re presuming a few changes and possibly customisation options would become available when it?s ready for retail. It also looks like you could simply tack on these components to your existing pair of glasses instead opting to purchase a completely new set that was designed to work with the Google Glass kit. That would be so much better for us all. In another figure of the patent design, magnets seem to be used to possible clip on the frames so they could be detached easily when not required.

    google-gass-patent-3
    As of now, since it?s only a patent filing, there?s no word on the actual availability of the kits yet, let alone a price tag. Let?s just hope that it doesn?t become more expensive simple because of the added ?prescription? angle.

    Galaxy S4 "sound and shot" feature - extract sound

    The Galaxy S4 has a neat feature called "sound and shot" (maybe "sound & shot"?). It will let you record up to 9 seconds of sound with a picture.

    However, I want just the sound out of a picture I took, and I cannot find how to do that. There is no intuitive way to do this in the current version of Android or the gallery app. I know they must be storing the sound file somewhere, but apparently it is not next to the picture.

    This article explains that it is not possible to listen to the sound on anything but an S4. Seems kinda short-sighted to me.

    My guesses are they implemented by either:

    1. storing the sound hidden within the .jpeg itself or
    2. they have a separate hidden place they put a .wav or .3gp file or something.

    I have searched the phone for the latter, and cannot find it. Given that the file size is almost double a normal photo sitting right net to it, I am inclined to think it is buried in the .jpeg file.

    Any guesses as to how to get that out? and what the file format is?

    Instant View: The city of Detroit files for bankrupcty

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The city of Detroit filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, making it the largest-ever municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and marking a new low for a city that was the cradle of the U.S. automotive industry.

    In a letter accompanying the filing, Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder said he had approved a request from Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection saying "it is clear that the financial emergency in Detroit cannot be successfully addressed outside of such a filing, and it is the only reasonable alternative that is available.

    COMMENTS:

    TOM METZOLD, CO-DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL INVESTMENTS AT EATON VANCE MANAGEMENT:

    "More than anything, it's actually a relief, because they can now get negotiations done and validated under the auspices of a court."

    CHRIS MIER, CHIEF MUNICIPAL STRATEGIST, LOOP CAPITAL:

    "I don't think this an event that has a impact on the overall market. It is very well anticipated, I don't think anybody was caught by surprise here.

    "I don't (think it could be a precedent) and the reason is it is a third standard deviation event, it is so incredibly unusual for a city of that size to go into a sixty-year tailspin and ultimately arrive at a point where it has to file bankruptcy that I don't expect it to ever be replicated.

    "Detroit was the fourth largest city in the country for all of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and now they have lost more than half of their population. I looked at the list of the top 25 cities now and I can't think of one that is even close to that kind of situation."

    ROBERT GORDON, A CLARK HILL ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS OF THE CITY OF DETROIT:

    "At a meeting with creditors on July 11, Orr said that the mere filing of a Chapter 9 petition doesn't preclude parties from continuing negotiations thereafter.

    "This position appears to ignore the bankruptcy's code requirement that a municipality engage in robust, good-faith negotiations before seeking Chapter 9 relief. While the Retirement Systems look forward to such negotiations, these have not yet occurred."

    DAN HECKMAN, SENIOR FIXED INCOME STRATEGIST FOR U.S. BANK WEALTH MANAGEMENT:

    "To us, it doesn't come as any kind of shock. We believe that there was very limited flexibility for the city other than to file for bankruptcy. It was clear probably several weeks ago that many of the creditors were not willing to accept the severe and dramatic cuts."

    "If there's any negative impact on the muni market it will be localized, whether it's Detroit or weaker credits within Michigan."

    "We don't think that this proves there's a systematic problem in the muni market itself. Fundamentals have been improving.

    "You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in this market just because Detroit filed for bankruptcy. I think that would be a major mistake for investors."

    AMY BRUNDAGE, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN:

    "While leaders on the ground in Michigan and the city's creditors understand that they must find a solution to Detroit's serious financial challenge, we remain committed to continuing our strong partnership with Detroit as it works to recover and revitalize and maintain its status as one of America's great cities.

    JACK ABLIN, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, BMO PRIVATE BANK IN CHICAGO:

    "It's not a huge surprise but now the question is how they will move forward and this could be kind of a precedent for other municipalities. Anyone concerned about some other cities like Chicago, cities in California, what this could do is accelerate a trend where states begin to withdraw their support for cities in an effort sure up their finances and we could potentially see more fillings, not on the same scale of Detroit, but certainly some other ones coming out of the woodwork.

    "To me the muni market is kind of like real estate, there are thousands of issues and they are all pretty issue specific so it hasn't really tarnished my view of munis collectively.

    RICHARD LARKIN, DIRECTOR OF CREDIT ANALYSIS AT HJ SIMS:

    "I've said it before: I think bankruptcy was the original goal of Emergency Manager Kevin Orr from before the day he was hired.

    "This bankruptcy isn't pre-packaged; it's premeditated.

    "I have been projecting that Detroit would go in bankruptcy since January 2011 so I am not surprised if they file for bankruptcy because I saw this coming but I am surprised by the lack of participation by the state of Michigan in trying to solve its problems.

    "Detroit getting into trouble? Not a surprise. The State of Michigan not coming to help? It is a big surprise, and I think I am not the only one to say that. In the past Michigan had a good reputation of a state helping out its localities when they were in difficulties. This time it seems they are washing their hands out of that and investors will remember that."

    "Do I expect a major impact sending shockwaves and seeing prices falling and yields spiking? No I do not because most people had expected it and (a bankruptcy) is already priced in the market, but I could be wrong."

    ROBERT AMODEO, PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT WESTERN ASSET IN NEW YORK:

    "You'd like to hope that it is isolated. This should not come as a surprise to the market place. You'd like to think that the prices already reflect this distress but we'll see tomorrow. It's a little too late to see.

    "We will see tomorrow morning. It is an important case in terms of treatment of different kinds of debt, secured vs unsecured, pension obligations and so forth. It's a very complex landscape and it's one that's going to be watched very closely by municipal investors."

    RICHARD CICCARONE, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MCDONNELL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT:

    Despite recent statements by emergency manager Kevyn Orr that he hoped to resolve any bankruptcy filing in less than a year, "it's going to be a long, drawn out process".

    "I just don't see that happening. They're dealing with very difficult issues in which there's not very much court precedent for a major city in this arena."

    "Detroit is not reflective of all cities in the country.

    "This one was anticipated as a possibility for years, even before the credit crisis occurred. It was only the political support of the state which was helping keep them out earlier. They were on life support. I think Michigan had a difficult decision to make here. They had to deal with an issue in which you have such a dramatic decline in your population base? That's a humongous challenge."

    (On the market) "It does provide some trembling and consternation."

    "The biggest U.S. municipal bankruptcy ever filed comes at a time when the market for municipal bonds is already shaky. Outflows from municipal bond funds have been high.

    "When you put a credit event together with outflows, you increase the initial risk until it works itself out. Everybody will go through a sorting out process."

    "The real tremble to the bond market would be if the courts undo the secured general obligation."

    MARKET REACTION: On the municipal bond market, Detroit bonds and notes traded on Thursday at record high yields, said Dominic Vonella at Municipal Market Data, a unit of Thomson Reuters.

    The taxable June 15 2035 bonds traded at $38.5 with a yield of 16 percent. That compares with $76 and a yield of 8.39 percent in mid May.

    Determined Mursi supporters plan rallies across Egypt

    By Noah Browning and Crispian Balmer

    CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood called for mass protests on Friday in its campaign to reverse the army's overthrow of the elected Islamist president, but it also gave a first sign of willingness to negotiate with its opponents.

    The rallies aim to show Mohamed Mursi's supporters are not ready to accept the new military-backed government. However, a Brotherhood official also told Reuters on Thursday that the movement had proposed a framework for talks mediated by the EU.

    Sworn into office on Tuesday, the cabinet of interim premier Hazem el-Beblawy busied itself with tackling the nation's many woes, buying foreign wheat to replenish stocks and banking $3 billion in badly needed aid from the United Arab Emirates.

    Egypt's interim President Adli Mansour will address the nation on Thursday at 9 p.m. (3 p.m. ET), state TV said. The speech comes on the eve of planned mass pro- and anti-Mursi rallies. It will be Mansour's first speech since he was sworn in on July 4.

    Still stunned by the July 3 toppling of Mursi, his Muslim Brotherhood, and allies grouped in what it calls the National Alliance for Legitimacy, urged nationwide rallies on Friday, predicting millions would take to the streets.

    "To every free Egyptian man and woman: Come out against the bloody military coup," the alliance said in a statement.

    Brotherhood official Gehad el-Haddad, who represented the movement in previous EU-facilitated talks with other political groups, told Reuters that the organization would not retreat from its demand for the reinstatement of Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected leader.

    However, signaling for the first time a formal readiness for negotiations, he said the Brotherhood had proposed through an EU envoy a framework for talks to resolve Egypt's crisis. "We never close the door to dialogue," Haddad said.

    The EU envoy, Bernardino Leon, said the two sides remained far apart. It is hard to imagine the army letting Mursi return to power. The military has denied orchestrating a coup, saying it intervened to prevent chaos following mammoth protests on June 30 against Mursi's much-criticized, year-long rule.

    Egypt, the most populous nation in the Arab world, is a strategic hinge between the Middle East and North Africa and has long been a vital U.S. ally in the region.

    WAR WORRIES

    The African Union warned on Thursday that Egypt risked being engulfed by civil war unless its government embraced Islamists - none of whom were included in the 33-strong cabinet.

    Egypt's Nour Party, the country's second-biggest Islamist group which had initially backed a military-led roadmap to guide the country to new elections, said on Thursday the government would have to seek a way forward with the Muslim Brotherhood.

    "I believe that those in power need to realize that increasing pressure on the Muslim Brotherhood and playing down the emotions of their supporters will lead to extremely bad results," Nour party spokesman Nader Bakkar told Reuters TV.

    At least 99 people have died in street clashes since Mursi's downfall, more than half of them when troops fired on Islamist protesters outside a Cairo barracks on July 8.

    A security source told the official Middle East News Agency that policing would be intensified at "all important and vital facilities" on Friday.

    Tamarud, the movement which organized the massive anti-Mursi protests, has also called for rallies on Friday, including one close to a Cairo intersection where thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been holding a vigil for weeks.

    It dubbed the rallies "the people against terrorism", blaming Mursi followers for recent violence.

    Three members of the security forces died overnight in attacks blamed on Islamist militants in the Sinai peninsula, which borders Israel and the Gaza Strip. The militants have pledged to continue the fight until the return of Mursi, who has been held in an undisclosed location since his downfall.

    Among the many accusations leveled against Mursi was mismanagement of the economy. The budget deficit has soared to about $3.2 billion a month, foreign reserves are more than 50 percent below their December 2010 levels and unemployment is more than 13 percent.

    Bread has traditionally been one of Egypt's most explosive issues and an ex-minister from Mursi's government said last week that the country had less than two months' supply of imported wheat in its stocks, well below its preferred six-month supply.

    Looking to narrow the shortfall, Egypt's main wheat-buying agency, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), bought 300,000 tonnes of wheat from global suppliers - only the second such purchase since February.

    The cash-strapped government got a fillip with the arrival of the UAE aid, part of $12 billion that Gulf Arab states pledged after Mursi's removal. Saudi Arabia is due to transfer $2 billion in the coming days, Egypt's central bank said.

    The funds should buy the cabinet time to try and fix Egypt's numerous problems, although analysts have warned it might also persuade officials to delay difficult decisions needed to right the listing economy.
