Food of the Future BI Tech 2015-08-11 | We need to eat more bugs. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations makes a compelling case that insects are key to our future food security. Insects are chock-full of protein, good fats, calcium, iron, and zinc — making them viable alternatives to chicken, pig, and cow meat. Bugs are also much easier on the environment. Much of the world has already discovered this. Eighty percent of nations, from Southeast Asia to Latin America, already consume more than 1,900 different insect species. Fried locusts and grasshoppers, for example, are extremely popular street foods in Thailand. The Western world has been the only holdout, but that is perhaps starting to change.Restaurants in New York and other major cities are featuring items such as grasshopper tacos. Meanwhile, Tiny Farms, Bitty Foods, and Don Bugito are three startups in San Francisco betting on bugs. Tiny Farms offers open-source farm kits encouraging individuals and businesses to raise their own insects, Bitty Foods makes baked goods using flour made of ground-up crickets, and Don Bugito sells flavorful cooked insects in snack-size packages.These startups are leading the way in putting insects on your plate--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

Text messaging etiquette BI Tech 2015-08-06 | When it comes to texting, iPhone users can enable or disable a certain setting that may say a lot about their personalities. Some people like to use the "send read receipts" function as a courtesy to the people texting them so that they can instantly know that you've seen the message. However, some people disable "read receipts," preferring to keep the person reaching out to them in the dark about whether or not their message has actually been read.

You can always record a conversation, but ordinarily you wouldn't. Snapchat is more about the social norms and expectation than secrecy.

Clash of Clans earns $1.5 million a day BI Tech 2015-07-04 | "Clash of Clans" is a mobile game that was released for the iPhone in 2012.

3 reasons why Doom revolutionized gaming BI Tech 2015-07-02 | Outside of guiding a small Italian plumber from left to right and stomping on enemies along the way, few games have left more of an impact on the entire video game medium as much as "Doom." What Mario did for 2D game design, "Doom" did for first-person: without "Doom," there may never have been blockbusters like "Halo" and "Call of Duty," to say nothing of the dozens of other wildly popular first-person games. There were next to no games made previous to "Doom" with first-person in mind, and it made you – the player – the character in the game. Instead of controlling Mario or Link or Guybrush Threepwood, you were the marine stuck in some form of Hell on Earth. Also like the influence of Mario, "Doom" was far more than just what it appeared to be.Yes, you're shooting demons from a first-person perspective, but it also showcased the importance of level design in first-person. There was no straight line from point-to-point with video exposition in between ("cutscenes") – the very first level in "Doom" is a notorious horseshoe, encouraging exploration over immediate gratification.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

Oculus Rift demo with founder Palmer Luckey – E3 2015 BI Tech 2015-06-30 | When Facebook's virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift, launches in early 2016, it'll come with an Xbox One gamepad: A standard game controller. But gamepads are a poor solution for interacting in virtual reality.If you're "in" the game, you don't want to interact with the world by pushing buttons on a game controller. You want to reach out and touch the world, to push and grab and punch and whatever else you'd do if you were there in real life. And that's where motion controls come in.Sony's got a set of wand-like controllers called PlayStation Move. HTC and Valve have a similar solution. And Facebook's Oculus VR unveiled its own solution during a San Francisco press event last Friday, dubbed "Oculus Touch."--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

Conversation with No Mans Sky creator Sean Murray – E3 2015 BI Tech 2015-06-27 | "No Man's Sky" isn't a hero's journey. It isn't about solving puzzles, and it isn't about creating a civilization.Like "Minecraft" before it, "No Man's Sky" is a game about exploration. Also like "Minecraft," "No Man's Sky" is infinite. It's a game played from the first-person perspective, where you're given a universe to explore with little more than a basic spaceship and a limited jetpack. Over time, through exploration and discovery, you'll accrue enough resources to allow you to travel further, explore more, and make a bigger mark on the vastness of "No Man's Sky."In the video above, game director Sean Murray of Hello Games describes what you'll do in the infinite reaches of "No Man's Sky," and how no two people will experience the same game.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

RED Epic Dragon vs. Canon EOS C300 & Sony PXW-FS7 BI Tech 2015-06-18 | "House of Cards" is as highly regarded for its aesthetics as it is for its signature (read: murdery) plot twists.

The show's production uses a RED camera, which is quickly becoming a top choice among the filmmaking community. We got our hands on one of the newer models, the Epic Dragon, to take it for a spin.

First look at the newest Oculus Rift BI Tech 2015-06-17 | Facebook's $2 billion purchase is almost coming to fruition: the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset is coming in early 2016, and we've just used it. Good news: it's really, really good.As seen above, we spent Tuesday morning putting the consumer version of the Oculus Rift through its paces at the E3 conference in Los Angeles. We tended goal as a hockey player; we explored 1930s Antarctica in "Edge of Nowhere;" we explored the futuristic environment known as "Oculus Home." If you're still skeptical about virtual reality, or worried that what you've seen so far isn't up to the quality level you expected, the first consumer version of Oculus Rift should more than convince you. The "screen door effect" that's often spoken of in reference to VR headsets is nigh imperceptible in the consumer version of the Rift, and worries over "jutter" and blur are unfounded: the consumer version of the Rift is crisp, comfortable, and relentlessly immersive.Seeing is believing, of course, and the best we can do in that respect is the video above.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

We talked to the head of Xbox about the latest development BI Tech 2015-06-17 | One of the biggest announcements out of this week's annual video game trade show, E3, came from Microsoft: the company's Xbox One game console is adding backwards compatibility. What does that jargon-centric announcement mean?All your old Xbox 360 games, on disc and downloaded, are going to work on Xbox One. Pretty big news!And it took a feat of engineering to make it happen. Microsoft's head of Xbox Phil Spencer took the reins of his current job just over one year ago. Spencer told Business Insider that one of the first things he did after taking the job was to speak with the engineering team about making backwards compatibility a reality."There's some real technical challenges to be had. We didn't know that it was gonna work," Spencer said. The issue is one of system architecture: the Xbox 360 was based on "PowerPC" architecture, while the Xbox One is based on "x86." The long and short is that the software underpinnings of each console is dramatically different, making it impossible to run the same games from console to console.So, how to fix such an issue? Create a fake, software-based version of the Xbox 360 operating system that could be run on the Xbox One. "We are running the Xbox 360 operating system, and you can think of it like a virtual machine, on the Xbox one. The games that you're playing have to be wrapped as an Xbox One game," Spencer said. Put simply: the Xbox One is getting an Xbox 360, through the magic of software. That's pretty incredible! A team at Microsoft took the physical Xbox 360 and created a virtual version of it through software alone. That's Moore's Law in action.Beyond adding value to the Xbox One, the move is part of a bigger picture push from Spencer and co. toward making games available across a variety of different platforms – all within the Xbox and Windows ecosystem, of course. Our long term vision is we want you to be able to play the games that you own where you want to play them, whether it's on an Oculus headset or on your TV. The ubiquitous flow of your content from screen to screen is pretty important to us in the long run.Backwards compatibility is already available for a limited list of games to Xbox One owners who are in the console's "preview program," and will otherwise light up for everyone else some time this fall with at least 100 titles supported initially. Xbox is promising "hundreds" more titles each month, though don't expect your favorite Kinect games to get supported anytime soon – due to differences in how the new version of Kinect differs from the Xbox 360 version, those games simply won't work on Xbox One.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

Everything you need to know before buying a 4K TV BI Tech 2015-04-23 | Once you learn about 4K technology you may find that you are in need of a new TV. Comparing TVs can be difficult with so many different features available. It is hard to know which ones have the most impact on the price. We used multiple regression analysis to answer this question. We looked at all the 4K TVs for sale on the Best Buy website at the end of February 2015. Excluding the three high-end sets that cost over $20k each, we were left with 46 televisions to analyze. After playing around a bit we found that the following three factors can explain 89% of the dispersion in prices:Size: The relationship between price and size is not linear. As size increases, so does the marginal cost of each additional inch. We took the diagonal size in inches to the 5th power to get the best fit. Curve: This is a binary variable. We used 1 for curved TVs and 0 for regular sets.3D: This is another binary variable. We used 1 for 3D capable TVs and 0 for non-3D. This factor carried quite a bit of weight. Some of the cost attributed to this feature may be due to the fact that 3D capable TVs are most likely newer models. Armed with a little regression analysis you should have no problem picking out the perfect 4K TV.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

The first 3D printed house is coming BI Tech 2015-04-21 | Architects around the globe are racing to build the world's first 3D printed houses — a breakthrough with profound implications for housing affordability and customization.In China, a company named Winsun this year said it built 10 3D printed houses in just one day. The reported cost for each: just $5,000.In Amsterdam, a team of architects has started construction of the 3D Print Canal House, using bio-based, renewable materials. The site is both construction site and public museum; President Obama was among the visitors this year. Hedwig Heinsman, co-founder of DUS architects, the team behind the project, tells Business Insider that in addition to being ec0-friendly, "The main goal, I think, is really to deliver custom-made architecture."3D printers build structures layer by layer. But at USC in California, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis is pushing the fabrication process one step further with what he calls "contour crafting." He hopes to develop a gigantic 3D printer, able to print whole house in a single run, from its structure to its electrical and plumbing conduits.The revolution in 3D printed housing, in other words, is well underway.--------------------------------------------------Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68ZsFollow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qgRead more: http://www.businessinsider.com--------------------------------------------------Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

After his aerial footage of New York City went viral, Slavin was inspired to launch the New York City Drone Film Festival, to celebrate the stunning works of countless other drone videographers."This is not a hobby anymore.
