A Look Into the Future

This are still concepts but we know the technology is here to implement this thing.

A computer tablet that has visual recognition and do visual search.







Ever wonder how a place looks like in the past?



Ah the weather widget, its always present on any new gadget!



Tons of information on your hand while on tour!





Imagine how your apartment would look like even before you buy a single thing!








Dictionary search without typing what you see!





Food nutrition information without a sweat.


It can do visual search







Go out and check the name of the stars you have always watch every night.


Interact with in real time and find related information to a structure.




Below are some of my favorites it has practical uses.





Lip movement recognition?!!



On a foreign land and want to read the local newspaper?! No problem translate it!




HUD (Heads Up Display) for everyone! Navigating a building would become a breeze!

Installing LAMP to CentOS 5.x

This is assuming CentOS was installed properly and connected to the internet.

Installing MySQL



yum install mysql mysql-server

Confirm the install and by answering yes, and yum will download all packages needed to install MySQL.

We need to make sure MySQL is started on boot

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

You can now start the MySQL server by issuing the following command:

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

You can also start it using the command below:

service mysqld start

Once MySQL server is running it will display initial startup text and will instruct you to set "root" user password.

mysqladmin -u root password rootpassword
mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password rootpassword


Make sure you change the highlighted items with the correct information.
