Occupy Wall Street?s Tim Pool brings live streaming to Google Glass
Tim Pool, who broke ground with his citizen reporting from the Occupy Wall Street protests in late 2011, just got a fun new toy: The New York-based journalist started experimenting with live streaming straight from Google Glass this week. Pool?s setup is a bit of a hack, and the video quality isn?t great ? but these early tests point towards an interesting future for Glass-powered live video reporting.
Pool started to play around with live streaming via Glass on Thursday, first showing off his desk at Vice, where he is now working as a producer, and then taking the setup for a walk around the block. It?s not very exciting stuff, and the video quality is pretty mediocre, but it is interesting to see things out of the eye-level perspective from which the Glass camera is recording.
Pool didn?t get back to me when I asked him about his setup, but it?s likely that his live streaming experiment has been made possible by?GlassBridge, a new hack that lets you run plain old Android apps on Glass without rooting the headset. Pool then used the Ustream Android app for live streaming.
Google Glass currently doesn?t support Hangouts on Air or any other kind of live streaming out of the box, and video recording is by default limited to 10 seconds, in part to conserve the device?s battery. Users can easily opt to extend the recording time, but Google has said that the battery won?t support more than 45 minutes of video recording, and that it isn?t intended for longer recordings. In an FAQ, the company put it this way:
?There are many devices available on the market today for people who wish to record their entire day, but Glass simply is not one of them.?
Of course, mobile phones weren?t built with live streaming in mind either, but became a key tool in real-time citizen reporting during the Occupy Wall Street protests, the Arab Spring and similar events. Live streamers like Tim Pool have often used camera phones in combination with external battery packs for their reporting, something that should work with Glass as well.
And while Pool?s first experiments are still just that, early experiments, they definitely raise the question of how citizen reporters and journalists alike are going to use the device in the future to cover breaking events. Over at Mediashift, Sarah Hill is clearly excited:
?With the quality of video and live streaming increasing on practically a daily basis, Glass ?- and other wearable devices -? will turn satellite trucks and bulky equipment into museum pieces.?
Pool?s video streams this week may be a first step towards that future.

Questions and Answers
- Marianna asks, "There are over 25 Wi-Fi networks in my apartment building. EVERY single time I want to get on the internet, which with Lifehacker, is very often and for long periods of time, I must go to the WiFi icon on my MacBook and select my own network instead of whatever other one it selected. I've scoured LH (and Google) and cannot find a satisfactory answer to making my network the default. I'd eliminate the entire list if I thought I could. I have selected it in Network Preferences and moved it to the top of the list, but it doesn't last long. Got any bright ideas?"
Yes! You probably need to reset your network settings. Alternatively, it could be an interference issue. Make sure your Wi-Fi network doesn't have the same name/SSID and you've chosen the best wireless channel. You may also solve the problem by creating a new location in your Network settings (it's up at the top).
- Leo asks, ?What?s a Mac alternative to MP3Tag for the Mac??
Nothing! But you can run MP3Tag natively on the Mac using WineBottler. See our guide to whipping your music?s metadata into shape and our post on Winebottler for more info.
- Juan writes, ?I've been looking everywhere for a decent bag that functions as both a messenger and a backpack, preferably a bag that would hide the backpack straps when not needed, and a bag that is big enough to haul a Chromebook, tablet, a book, and other office items. I work in an office close to home so it allows me to drive, or walk (an hour walk), or ride my bike (about 20 minutes). Are there any bags out there that would do the job??
We found a few: The BBP Hamptons Hybrid, the Tom Bihn Western Flyer, the Gregory Dub, and the Chrome Falcon Messenger Backpack. There are more out there, you might just have to do a little digging. Thorin likes the PAC Designs bags that have an optional backpack strap for their messenger bags. Also, check out the Wirecutter?s list of bags, then see our list of the gadgets you should have in every bag and how to create a modular go bag for any situation.

How Do I Submit a Question?
There are two ways to send in your question:
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

Scientists show proof-of-principle for silencing extra chromosome responsible for Down syndrome
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Scientists have established that a naturally occurring X chromosome "off switch" can be rerouted to neutralize the extra chromosome responsible for trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by cognitive impairment. The discovery provides the first evidence that the underlying genetic defect responsible for Down syndrome can be suppressed in cells in culture.
