Are These the Tech Specs of the Google Smartwatch?

Coulter: Immigration push gives Democrats '30 million unskilled, law ...

In a far-ranging interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, conservative columnist Ann Coulter said that the immigration bill recently passed by the Senate was not only akin to the death of the entire Supreme Court, but that it signaled the end of the Republican party.
?All the Democrats care about here is the votes,? Coulter said on Hannity?s radio show on Friday. ?They don?t care that they?re legalizing law-breakers, they don?t care that they are going to massively harm African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans who dominate the low-wage professions by bringing in 30 million unskilled, law-breaking voters for the Democratic Party.?
The bill, which was approved by the Senate in a 68-32 vote on Thursday, establishes a 13-year path to citizenship for the country?s 11 million undocumented immigrants, and won Republican support by also adding border security benchmarks.
Regardless, Coulter continued to refer to it as an ?amnesty bill,? while fretting that most of these potential new citizens skewed heavily toward voting for Democrats, accurately pointing out Pew Research Center data showing increased support for marriage equality and far-ranging support for President Barack Obama?s re-election bid in 2012.
Coulter also said that Latinos reported ?more negative associations? with capitalism than socialism than members of the Occupy Wall Street movement, but the Pew center noted that most Latino respondents replied negatively to both terms. She also alluded to research indicating heavy Latino support for both the Affordable Care Act and reproductive choice for women.
?Any politician who claims to be pro-life but supports amnesty is a liar,? she continued. ?If you bring in 30 million voters who overwhelmingly support socialism, gay marriage, abortion, Obamacare, then you don?t believe in any of those things. This is changing the electorate so that the entire country becomes California and Republicans never win another election.?
As the Senate bill makes its way to the House of Representatives for consideration, Colter said the passage of new legislation would be like a plane crash killing the entire Supreme Court and Obama replacing the justices with ?9 Ruth Bader Ginsburgs.?
?Do not tell me, Republicans, that voting to confirm nine Ruth Bader Ginsburgs is just another vote,? she argued. ?Amnesty is not just another vote. It is the end of the pro-life movement. It?s the end of the marriage movement. It?s the end of trying to repeal Obamacare. It is the end of everything.?
?I?ve actually come around to your way of thinking on the House,? Hannity answered. ?I think the House should leave it alone.?
Hannity told Coulter that ?sources? told him that Republican members of the House of Representatives supported a five-year ?temporary legal status? clause for undocumented immigrants, which would be rescinded if border security guidelines went unmet.
?That?s not even a believable fig leaf,? Coulter responded. ?They really think we?re stupid. The Democrats must be sitting back thinking, ?I can?t believe Republicans are falling for this.??
Listen to Coulter?s interview with Hannity, as posted by Media Matters on Friday, below.

Marcel Kittel wins 1st stage of Tour de France
PORTO VECCHIO, Corsica (AP) ? The first stage of the 100th Tour de France ended with a bus stuck under an archway at the finish line until minutes before the first riders arrived.
Shortly after the bus was dislodged, German rider Marcel Kittel was first to arrive, after dodging all sorts of mayhem to win Saturday's stage on Corsica.
Kittel beat Russian sprinter Alexander Kristoff in a dash to the line after a major crash wiped out some other competitors. Organizers considered moving the finish line up to avoid the bus, then changed their minds at the last moment after the bus was freed.
About 20 riders fell close to the end, among them two-time former champion Alberto Contador and sprinter Peter Sagan. They got back up, with Contador's shoulder cut and bruised.
British sprinter Mark Cavendish did not crash but was stuck behind those who fell and could not challenge for his 24th stage win. He was hoping to wear the prestigious yellow jersey for the first time in his career.
"I saw the crash happen to my right," said Kittel, who also finished the day with the best sprinter's green jersey. "I knew it was serious. I knew that Mark and Andre (Greipel) were no longer in contention and it was a good chance for us."
But Cavendish and Sagan were nowhere to be seen as the main bunch turned for home, and Kittel held off Kristoff as they dipped for the line.
"I'm lucky I didn't come down," Cavendish said. "What caused the problems was changing the finish. Like, we heard on the radio with literally 5K to go that the sprint was in 2K and then a K later, they were like 'No, it's at the finish.' It's just carnage."
Francaise Des Jeux team manager Marc Madiot was furious.
"The president of the (race jury) didn't do his job," he said. "When we make a mistake we get a fine. Well, he should get a huge fine."
Race events director Jean-Francois Pescheux says circumstances forced a quick decision.
"We would've preferred a nice finish like the one we'd planned. But in exceptional situations, you have to take exceptional decisions," Pescheux said by telephone. "We're not going to stop the riders, and ask (them) what decision we should take."
Organizers considered shortening the stage by two miles after the bus from the Orica Greenedge team got wedged under the structure at the finish, but the bus got moved just in time.
"When a bus arrives near the finish line the driver must ask the permission to cross it," finish line manager Jean-Louis Pages said. "This bus was late. We deflated the tires so we could move it away as the peloton was fast approaching."
Kittel did not even know about the bus, and was lucky enough to avoid the crash to win the flat, 132-mile trek from Porto Vecchio to Bastia in just under 5 hours. Kristoff and third-place Danny van Poppel clocked the same time.
"It feels like I have gold on my shoulders," Kittel said about wearing the famed yellow jersey. "I didn't know about the bus. I'm glad they were able to move it."
Cavendish's Omega Pharma-Quick Step teammate Tony Martin was caught in the fall and later taken to hospital after losing consciousness.
Contador had a bad day, too.
Returning from a doping ban after testing positive on the 2010 Tour ? a title he has been stripped of ? the Spaniard grimaced in pain as he crossed the line with his clothing torn and his left shoulder grazed.
"I am fine, I'm OK," Contador said through a translator. "Someone didn't brake in front of me and then there was a crash. I will have to rest now."
As the stage drew to an end, former champion Andy Schleck's RadioShack team pushed to the front as a side wind made it harder for riders, then Contador's Saxo-Tinkoff team pushed up as the sinewy roads started to thin out.
Johnny Hoogerland, who was sent flying off his bike and sustained cuts to his legs on the 2011 Tour after being hit by a Tour car, was sent tumbling after hitting a crash barrier near the end. He was helped back onto his bike and able to continue.
Last year's Giro d'Italia winner, Ryder Hesjedal, was caught in another crash moments later but continued.
With the finish line in sight, and as the nerves jangled, riders were sent flying from their bikes, throwing the stage into chaos.
"It was just a complete disaster," Greipel said.
It proved to be an eventful day from the outset. Before the stage started, French Sports Minister Valerie Fourneyron met with a delegation of riders unhappy about pre-race media reports that they thought focused too heavily on doping stories.
The day before, Lance Armstrong hogged headlines when he told Le Monde he couldn't have won his seven Tours without doping.
Once the race began, tour favorite Chris Froome stopped to get a new rear wheel early on and stopped for a second time to get a new bike.
Sunday's second stage is shorter but features four climbs along the 97-mile ride from Bastia to Ajaccio.

The best robot vs. Rory McIroy golf contest you will ever see
Almost the perfect golfing buddy.
(Credit: European Tour/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)When a man called Jeff asks you to join him for a game of golf, you might agree.
However, when a robot called Jeff wants to accompany you to your local links, you'd better be prepared for losing a couple of links in the chain to your perfect swing and your mental equilibrium.
For Jeff the robot is a trash-talking, joyously mean-spirited golfing robot with a very well-honed swing.
Here, in an ad for the European Tour, he teases two-time major champion Rory McIroy about his vast new Nike contract, as well as trying to put off his human adversary by remotely moving a target.
Jeff also confesses to his sexual attraction toward certain kinds of washing machines.
Sometimes, it's very hard to find the right golfing partner.
More Technically Incorrect
There are those who get boorish on the course, throwing their clubs in various directions after a bad shot.
I once had an otherwise very nice man smash his 8-iron straight into the side of a golf cart (in which I happened to be sitting), after an errant swing.
Worse are golf partners who smoke. The ones who who smoke pot on the course aren't so bad.
Unbearable are the ones who insist on tugging at vast cigars, as if the mixture of ill-fitting red Nike shirts and Cuban tobacco makes them reach some nirvana of superiority.
So for all the fears about a robot world being one in which humans relinquish what's left of themselves, how lovely it would be if we could open our cars in the golf club parking lot and pull out a Jeff.
He'd be a good golfer, know the rules, and always be there with a comment to lighten proceedings.
And, unlike the stogie-chomper or the cursing 8-ironer, if Jeff got on our nerves, we would have the ultimate option. (Watch the end of the video.)

Video: Ford?s Virttex driver performance simulator
There is a lot of technology in a car these days and making it efficient and safe is always a priority for car manufacturers. Ford have a great way of testing changes in the UI for in car tech and measuring the distractions it can cause. Obviously Ford don?t want to put test drivers out on the road with the risk of crashing so they have simulator for testing driver performance and reactions to the test systems.
The simulator is a full sized Ford Escape in a hydraulically controlled pod which has a 360 degree screen so the driver is totally immersed. The control room can then put different scenarios to the test and see how the driver reacts. They can use it for features like lane drift detection and braking alerts.
In this video we take a look in the control room for a demonstration of the system and an explanation how the system works and what Ford use it for.
