The biggest jolt one gets is from the monthly electricity bill itself. Many of us try and be careful, but somehow the bill always manages to exceed our expectations. With Christmas round the bend, I know that a matter of few days of lights and cheer has a gloomy effect on the bill budget. Avery Holleman is a designer who has worked on the Smart Switch design, which is a system that can be easily installed into an existing...

For all the Star Wars fans among us Japan wouldn’t be a nice place to be, not after witnessing this advert for a rather absurd and absolutely low tech slot machine. I assumed it was a new game announcement, but alas that’s not the case here. Watch these videos and judge for your self...

Scientific researchers are reporting progress toward a simple, low-cost method to make "smart fabrics," electronic textiles capable of detecting diseases, monitoring heart rates, and other vital signs. These fabrics made from carbon nanotube fibers are soft, flexible, and capable of transmitting electricity when woven into fabrics. In laboratory tests, the researchers showed that the new E-fibers could light up a simple light-emitting diode when connected to a battery. When coated with certain antibodies, the fibers detected the presence of...

A downtown hotel called Hotel Sax has a tech lounge located on the sixth floor that is no short of being a computer geek’s dream.

If you ever get tired of playing darts and have the board just hanging on a wall with no body to play with, why not make it useful. Turn the board into a wine bottle holder, this clever design by an Indian industrial designer, sure is eye catching. I’m a bit skeptical as to how the bottles are hooked in place, from what I see it looks like the bottles are empty and therefore can stay that way with...

Wikipedia articles are based on input from any Internet user that believe they have reliable information on a topic and the idea that people that know better will quickly correct mistaken or misleading entries. The online encyclopedia is apparently concerned that the HTML coding that is presented to them when they click the “edit” button is scaring many would-be contributors away. The foundation that runs Wikipedia is getting an $890,000 grant from the Stanton Foundation to try to make...

Most memory cards promise data retention come what may, but this one may have stepped up its feature list a tad too far. Normally, a SDHC card is more likely to float if it’s accidentally dropped in the water but the Elecom-made SDHC is more than H20-friendly; as an IPX7 compliant device, it will withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes....

Headphone wires have been annoying us for years, right from the time the walkman came into being. Don’t get me wrong, new wireless technologies are just not up to par with the wired ones yet, but wires always irritate us to the core with their ability to form into unmanageable knots. It also goes without saying the number to times you may have found yourself tied up to a pole or even a door handle with the loose left...

Going by a report originating from Japan, Nintendo is toying with the idea of changing the accelerometer in Wiimote. Nintendo wants to up the efficiency of the Wiimote and this probably has stemmed this move. STMicroelectronics is the company that that provided that first chip and now more are going to battle it out with it. Chips from companies such as Kionix Inc and Tronics are also being considered. The Wii MotionPlus controller is one aspect of Nintendo and...

Here is prime example how technology that we otherwise consider a pest, turns a savior. This news is of a British doctor volunteering in DR Congo, who used text message instructions from a colleague to perform a life-saving amputation on a boy. Vascular surgeon David Nott aided the 16-year-old while working 24-hour shifts with medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) in Rutshuru. The boy's left arm was badly infected and gangrenous and required immediate medical attention. Nott had never performed...

A 20-foot shipping container was turned into a listening room where occupant listened to classical music. Fifteen speakers were placed facing the visitor’s seat in order to create what the designers hoped would be a “spatial sensation that is in-between the notion of the concert hall and the I-pod headphone.” The container was filled with CNC-cut layers of corrugated fiberboard and compressed-polyester foam panels, which reduced noise and vibration from the outside. MAT Studio and Elastik have designed it....
