I know some people don't use notifications often, but some people can't live without them. I know that my phone informs me every time I have email, and I don't even remember setting that up. If you are the type of person who really needs to see his or her notifications, then perhaps you should invest in the EMBRACE+. The EMBRACE+ is a smart bracelet that lights up when … [Read more...] about EMBRACE+ glows when you have a notification
U.S. Navy develops laser weapon (just in time?)
Is anyone else a little, I don't know, disturbed that North Korea has nuclear missiles pointed at us and is getting all threatening about using them? Man, it's like the cold war all over again, but I can't remember Russia saying that they were definitely planning on using them. Well, I'm sure I am not the first to suggest this, but as anyone thought about using lasers to … [Read more...] about U.S. Navy develops laser weapon (just in time?)
Apple create a controller for Games and TV?
It seems like I am always hearing rumors about what Apple is doing, but I am pretty certain that the smart watch thing is probably true, maybe. So today, I present not one, but two rumors about Apple. The first is that they could be in the TV business, or at least the TV controller. This is why they are supposedly developing this "iRing". The iRing is meant to be a … [Read more...] about Apple create a controller for Games and TV?
Taser’s Axon Flex is not a taser, but a camera
I'm pretty certain that we all know what Taser International is known for, and my Source states that over ninety percent of United States policemen rely on them. The Axon Flex is not designed to shock any assailants, but it will film them. It is a 3.2 inch camera that work for about 12 hours. All that you need to do is push a button, and it will warm up by recording 30 … [Read more...] about Taser’s Axon Flex is not a taser, but a camera
This Rape Resistant Lingerie is quite interesting
Well, it is Monday, which means that I am looking for something to report on. I found this particular gadget which my source calls "Rape-resistant Lingerie". I would say that they had me at the name, but that doesn't sound good, does it? This lingerie is designed by three engineering students at Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University. This garment protects the neck and chest, … [Read more...] about This Rape Resistant Lingerie is quite interesting
Speculative Fiction Friday: The Hunger Games
Normally, I like to report on speculative fiction films that are obscure, but The Hunger Games has gone rather mainstream. I was always surprised when this book became a huge phenomenon. If you aren't familiar with The Hunger Games, it has a dark premise for a book targeted for younger readers. It takes place in a world where some great war has occurred, and the rest of … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Hunger Games
The Game for Someone meant to be played by humans 2,000 years from now
Game designer Jason Rohrer recently won a prize at the GDC (Game Developers Conference) for creating A Game for Someone. A Game for Someone is very interesting because it is not designed to be played now, but by people 2,000 years in the future. In case you are wondering what makes this game so advanced, I can't tell you. You see, the rules of the game are written as … [Read more...] about The Game for Someone meant to be played by humans 2,000 years from now
Facebook Home could transform Android phones into social networking machines
In addition to the HTC First, Facebook was quite a busy company with the introduction of Facebook Home. Facebook Home is a "suite of apps and a homescreen replacement for Android phones". It is an entirely free, and it makes the home screen about content rather than a bunch of apps. All of your friend's updates are seen in real-time on the device's homescreen, which is … [Read more...] about Facebook Home could transform Android phones into social networking machines
HTC annouces the “First” Facebook phone
Just so you don't get confused on the headline, I'm not trying to say that HTC is announcing the first phone with Facebook. For years, I have been hearing that Facebook was going to make an official phone, and now here it is. Peter Chou, the HTC CEO, stated that the First is going to be the "ultimate social phone". It has a 4.3 inch display and a dual core Qualcomm … [Read more...] about HTC annouces the “First” Facebook phone
Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, a point-and-click App
One of the best games I played when I was young wasn't from Nintendo or Sega, it was from Sierra. Sierra recently went out of business, but every once in a while, I see a great point-and-click adventure. If you aren't familiar with point-and-click adventures, you have to think back to cool games like Myst or the Monkey Island series. There is nothing more that I love … [Read more...] about Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, a point-and-click App
First cell phone call made 40 years ago
Cellular phone technology is really taken for granted these days, but there was once a time when we didn't have this convenient method of communication. Forty years ago, on April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper of Motorola made a call from the DynaTAC phone. In case you are wondering who he called, it was Joel Engel, a rival over at AT&T. Cooper then went to a press conference … [Read more...] about First cell phone call made 40 years ago
Jenga Boom takes the block-stacking game to another level
You take a block from the bottom, and you put it on top. That is the Jenga jingle, and it is also the rules. Jenga is probably one of those board games that works well due to its simplicity, like Battleship. Of course, I have seen Battleship done up when it shouldn't have, like that movie they did last summer. You might ask why Jenga should be improved. Perhaps it … [Read more...] about Jenga Boom takes the block-stacking game to another level
EyeFly 3D screen film makes the iPhone 5 capable of 3D content
I don't know if you know this, but glasses-free 3D has come to phones. Do you remember the HTC EVO 3D or the LG Optimus 3D Max? I saw these phones two years ago at CTIA, but they didn't exactly change the world of mobile phones as we know it. This EyeFly 3D film could change things, in an after-market kind of way. This special type of film uses a half-million … [Read more...] about EyeFly 3D screen film makes the iPhone 5 capable of 3D content
Hyundai Announces the E4U Personal Vehicle
The New York Auto Show is of course the place where a company like Hyundai would show off, I don't know, a car or something. Hyundai took advantage of another car show, the Seoul Motor Show, to show off their E4U concept vehicle. The E4U, which I would imagine stands for Easy For You, was designed by the Advanced Design Department at Hyundai, and has the ability to drive … [Read more...] about Hyundai Announces the E4U Personal Vehicle
Cesar Chavez on Google, and apparently some Christians are upset
I'm sure that you are familiar with Google, and how they often put some interesting graphic to commemorate a historic anniversary or something. Apparently, some Christians got pretty upset when Cesar Chavez showed up on Google instead of something Easter related. I believe that Glenn Beck was one of them, but I don't consider Glenn Beck an official spokesperson for … [Read more...] about Cesar Chavez on Google, and apparently some Christians are upset
