Sylvania ECOlight Powered by Shower Water

Have you ever tried to take a shower in the dark, like during a power outage? Not a lot of fun, isn’t it? Imagine if you had a light in the shower that is not powered by batteries, but hydroelectric power.

That’s right, the ECOlight is powered by the running of water in your shower. It’s like having a dam on your showerhead! I didn’t take that from the Sylvania Press Release, I swear.

Not only does the shower light give you a bright LED, but it also has an illuminated ring that will change color depending on the temperature of the water. I’m not certain how it works, but the light will be blue if the water is less than 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and red when it is warmer than 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

I am hoping that the ECOlight from Sylvania is the beginning of technology that runs on running water. Imagine a waterproof radio that plays in the shower, and powered by the water coming out of the showerhead.

Why stop there? How about cell phone chargers connected to the faucets in the house. So if you are washing the dishes, your phone is getting the juice. That idea is free to market, by the way, just send me a thank-you note and a percentage of the profits.

Lego Camcorder coming …

Earlier today, we told you that Lego was getting into the cell phone business. Well it seems that today is Lego day and that Lego is also looking to set their sights on entering the Camcorder market as well. Having joined with kids gadget maker Digital Blue, Lego is designing a digital camcorder with a small flip out 1 ½ inch LCD screen, record/function buttons perched on top, detachable remote control, and five way navigation control for operating the camera.

USB Cordless Warm Slippers

One of the main reservations that I have with USB warmer products is the fact that they have to remain tethered to the computer, and many a times we get up from the desk without thinking about removing the connection, hence taking down that peripheral and perhaps even breaking the USB connector in the process due to the force generated. Not so with this pair of USB Cordless Warm Slippers from Thanko, as the $42 price you pay for them are well worth it - it hooks up via USB to warm up, and once they’re fully charged, just disconnect them and walk around the home/office without getting your little piggies all frozen and shivering. The internal lithium battery is good for a fair amount of time before they require a trip back to the USB port. It comes with a light indicator to let you know when is the next trip due for a power refill, and there is an option to change the temperature between low and high levels. Inside the slippers, you will find an ultra thin aluminum heater being used. If you’re nowhere near a USB port, you can always hook it up via a power outlet.

Find Tariffs Mysterious iPhone invitation creates excitement

An enigmatic invitation to an Apple press conference has been circulated among technology experts this week, fuelling rumours that the firm is set to reveal details of the iPhone's UK launch.

Taking place at the Apple store on London's Regent Street next Tuesday, the event has been announced to the industry with the cryptic message "mum is no longer the world", resulting in feverish speculation on technology websites about the purpose of the conference.

When asked for details on the event by vnunet.com, an Apple spokesperson said: "We do not have any further information. But it will be good."

It is thought that the US company may unveil which network provider will be given the exclusive contract to carry the iPhone in the UK, with O2 currently the strong favourite to secure the deal.

However, according to Pocket-lint.co.uk there is now an iPhone 'unlocking' facility available for free online, meaning that consumers can potentially use the device on any network. The exclusive rights to the handset may have become less desirable for operators as a result.

Phonevite offers phone-invitation service

Phonevite, a Los Angeles company that lets you record and then blast voice invites to your friends’ phones, has just launched a test version of its site.

It’s the latest twist on Internet telephony, and comes from two employees who worked at Dialpad, an early Internet company that was recently bought by Yahoo. They’re trying their luck, now that their other former Dialpad colleagues achieved success with GrandCentral, recently acquired by Google.

One-to-many voice invite services exist, but they are expensive and generally only available to large companies. Email works for invites, but can be unruly to manage. Some email filters treat these invites as spam, and the invites get buried.

Phonevite, which is free, is a light-weight alternative. It’s straightforward, as this eight-minute screencast shows. You record an invite over a regular phone, and Phonevite hand-holds you through the process: You can schedule a time for the invite to be blasted, request an RSVP from recipients (yes, maybe or no), and select an option for them to be able to message you back. It then gives you an online dashboard to show responses, and lets you play back any voice answers.

Engineer Kalvin Kim and product manager John Nahm say the service is good for group activities, such BBQs, and church, sports and school events.

How will they make money from this? They say an Internet call now costs about half a cent on average, so costs will be relatively low. Down the road, they hope to sell sponsored ads, say Nike gear in invites that are sports related, or Coke ads for general events. They may charge 1 to 3 cents a call if a user would rather not have ads.

Barack Hussein Obama, Remain Alert to His Background

Probable U. S. Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a White Athiest from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's Parents met at the University of Hawaii. WhenObama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His Mother then marriedLoto Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indenosia. When Obama was six years old, the family relocated to Indenosia. Obama attended a Muslimschool in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic School. Obama takes great care to conceal the Fact that He is a MUSLIM. He is quick to point out that He was once a Muslim, But that He also attended Catholic School. Obama's Political Handlers are attempting to make itappear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Osama was enrolledin a wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teachng that is followed by the muslim terroristswho are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it ispolitically expedient to be a christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barak Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his muslim background. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Latest Computer Technology Can Slip Behind Your Ear

At the DEMO conference in Palm Desert, California yesterday, the audience of 500-some technology veterans watched in rapt fascination as a company called Livescribe introduced its brilliant invention: a pen.

Well, not just a pen—a computer that looks like a pen. The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen does have ink and it makes lines on paper, but it also records a digital file of whatever you write—both text and sketches—by using an infrared camera to read a code of tiny, nearly invisible gray dots on the paper. (It can also read bar codes.) To make it work, you need to either buy a recycled paper notepad from Livescribe, or roll your own by downloading a graphics file that prints on most laser printers. (This part of the technology isn’t from Livescribe, but from a company called Anoto that also licenses it to other companies like LeapFrog, where Livescribe’s CEO used to work.)

It also records the sound around you and links it to what you were writing at the time. Tap the pen to that text again, it reads the little dots, and you get an audio playback from that time. As a journalist with lousy handwriting and no shorthand skills, I could use that. Just write an outline of what someone is saying in an interview, and tap on the notes to hear again what the person said.

That in itself would be very cool, but the Livescribe folks have bigger plans that drift into the range of world domination. (The CEO Jim Marggraff told me that he plans to sell one billion of the $150 pens in the coming 10 years.) Here are some other things the pen can do:

Create 3D audio files
The Livescribe headphones include microphones, so you can record the sound exactly how and when it hits each of your ears. Play it back through any headphones, and you get the same effect as if you were hearing sounds around you—like someone laughing of to your right or mosquito buzzing on the left. (Livescibe originally added that feature so you could “focus” on the voice of someone speaking on a recording from a noisy room.)

Create flash animations.
Whatever you write or draw can be captured as a flash movie. Play it back and you see the drawings take form on your screen—like those old Looney Tunes cartoons when Donald duck talks to the animator as he draws (or erases) the landscapes around him. Click on parts of the text in the animation and launch any linked items such as Web pages, audio files or videos.

Access commentary in a book
The pen works for writing as well as reading. As an example, Livescribe showed me a Bible, printed on the special paper, where you can tap on words to get footnote-like commentary or hear pronunciations of the bizarre Old Testament names.

Write an email
The pattern of dots on every sheet of paper is unique. (Livescribe says the Anoto system provides enough values to cover several continents without repeating a number.) So if you write on a specific piece of paper, the pen can use the dots not only to figure out what you wrote, but to figure out where you wrote it. Scratch a note on the back of someone’s business card, for example, hook the pen up to your computer, and the software sends an email of your note to the card owner. Scratch a rant out on the back page of a magazine and you can automatically send a letter to the editor.

The Stopwatch History

A stopwatch is a handheld timepiece designed to measure the amount of time elapsed from a particular time when activated to when the piece is deactivated. A large digital version of a stopwatch designed for viewing at a distance, as in a sports stadium, is called a stopclock.

A typical mechanical analog stopwatch.

The timing functions are traditionally controlled by two buttons on the case. Pressing the top button starts the timer running, and pressing the button a second time stops it, leaving the elapsed time displayed. A press of the second button then resets the stopwatch to zero. The second button is also used to record split times or lap times. When the split time button is pressed while the watch is running, the display freezes, allowing the elapsed time to that point to be read, but the watch mechanism continues running to record total elapsed time. Pressing the split button a second time allows the watch to resume display of total time.

Mechanical stopwatches are powered by a mainspring, which must be periodically wound up by turning the knurled knob at the top of the watch.

Digital electronic stopwatches are available which, due to their crystal oscillator timing element, are much more accurate than mechanical timepieces. Because they contain a microchip, they often include date and time-of-day functions as well. Some may have a connector for external sensors, allowing the stopwatch to be triggered by external events, thus measuring elapsed time far more accurately than is possible by pressing the buttons with one's finger. The first digital timer used in organized sports was the Digitimer, developed by Cox Electronic Systems, Inc. of Salt Lake City Utah (1971). It utilized a Nixie-tube readout and provided a resolution of 1/1000 second. Its first use was in ski racing, but was later used by the World University Games in Moscow, Russia, the U.S. NCAA, and in the Olympic trials.

The device is used when time periods must be measured precisely and with a minimum of complications. Laboratory experiments and sporting events like sprints are good examples.

The stopwatch function is also present as an additional function of many digital STOPWATCHES.
