Everyone focuses on the giveaways, which are nice. The reason I go back year after year is the raw computer science in practice that is on display and the topic of every session. Ne comprend pas? Just search for &#8216;Google IO 2012&#8217; on Youtube and you&#8217;ll find every session available. Just dive into a couple of whatever looks good and you&#8217;ll most likely see what I mean. The good thing this year is I had stuff to bring back to Chatt*lab!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6AK-G4elrJo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nLast year I attended the Android ADK (Accessory Development Kit) session as I was digging Android in 2011. The ADK was an Arduino shield that allowed USB to Android development and was a really surprising piece of kit that was given to the ADK session attendees. This year I&#8217;m walking between sessions with a focus on big data and Google AppEngine and just happened to walk by the ADK session as  the doors were opening. &#8216;Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool to snag another Arduino to take back to the *lab?&#8217; I thought to myself. Well, I had no idea I&#8217;d be bringing home the equivalent of a stealth fighter.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RHxjFAMzolI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nAs you can see it <em>looks like a stealth fighter<\/em>. This is one sweet piece of kit. It is essentially one giant collection of sensors held together by magnetic catches. The ADK team wanted to make a kit that would allow accessory development but in the process delivered the most hackable device chock full of sensors: light, color, proximity, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and acceleration. At the chewy center is a 32-bit ARM Cortex M3 processor and Arduino UNO. Did I mention Bluetooth support? A microSD card slot? Color LED numeric arrays and it is <em>an alarm clock<\/em>! It is an Arduino with all the bells and whistles and it is ours for prototyping.<\/p>\n<p>For more pics of the conference see the link below.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/114768984009626258027\/albums\/5767060446621869985?authkey=CPW6oOn1mf6rhwE\" title=\"Google IO 2012\">Google IO 2012 Web Album<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was fortunate to attend my third Google IO developer conference a few weeks back.
