Jul 31, 2007 News
No matter how many tireless hours we spend at the gym, we all fall ill, don’t we? We all have that moment of physical weakness no matter how robust our systems are isn’t it? But don’t we just hate being all tied down with all sorts of diagnostic elements while at the hospital?
While staying diagnosed at the hospital is inevitable, you might heave a sigh of relief if you could lay your hands on what those researchers up there from Arkansas have developed. Well, if you’re still wondering what it is, they’ve tailored an outfit that can monitor a patient’s respiration rate and body temperature in real time and send it to a server such that problems when noticed can be immediately acted upon. They integrated organic semiconductor and electrical-engineering into smart fabrics garments with wireless technology.

Well my boyfriend always has reason to worry, when I say the three golden words
“I’m feeling lowâ€. For one, he knows his pockets are going to be empty and second, he knows there’s hardly anything in it for him. But guess what his reaction was when I told him of the Hue HD Web cams? He couldn’t get rid of that smile which he had ear to ear.

Jul 30, 2007 News
With more and more of your life falling between the pages of your cell phone, you can’t help but be worried about its security and wonder what would happen if all of it gets lost someday.
Well, you and me, the common people, can’t quite think of anything beyond maybe fingerprint recognition or voice recognition, but like I said earlier, if you want to know what’s innovation, ask the Japanese. True to that, the Japanese have yet again outdone our wildest imagination, by making Iris recognition their way of keeping their cell phones secure from misuse. Happening isn’t it?

Mitsubishi’s Wakamaru House Bot not quite there yet
Jul 30, 2007 News
We have reason to smile. While robotics might be all set to take over our jobs, things can go wrong when its technology fails, what say guys? One of the most recent and unfortunate examples of this would be Mitsubishi’s Wakamaru House Bot. Cute as a nut, this was expected to go great guns and the company had plans of selling at least about 100 of this $14k+ bots. But as destiny would’ve had it, far fewer of them got sold.
Well, the problem actually was with the limitations of the robot and the fact that even with all the functionalities that were intended, it could not be of much use beyond providing weather forecast and checking email. Moreover, let’s not forget that not too many people around the world are yet that tech-savvy. So while it might seem a wee bit affordable, this one’s already foreseen its doom. Mitsubishi is now renting it out to

Toto Washlet: The cleaner toilet-going experience
Jul 29, 2007 News
A friend once joked to me that for students going from some Asian countries to the United States, one of the biggest apprehensions is switching to tissue paper instead of using clean water after taking a poop. While that might be funny to most, they are going to have some reason to smile, but well, affording that smile is going to be something they need to bargain.
And well, the bargain might buy them more reason to smile than one, for the Toto Washlet (It’s not called a Toilet at all, you see) comes not just with water for cleaning yourself up, but also with a trail of add-ons like automatic and remote control open-and-close lid and flush, five cleansing modes, adjustable wand, warm-air-dry, automatic air purifier, heated seat and well, even a wireless remote control. Now that’s a lot of
