New Bionic Ear Headphone: the Geekiest Spy Gadget
Don’t you wish to have spy gadgets like the ones James Bond 007 gets to use in his movies that look so techy, innovative and practical? I have always wished of having such gadgets to help me to investigate the happenings in my surroundings and at last my wish fulfilled to see this “Bionic Ear Headphone” . It can even help to hear very faint sounds from the distance of 20-30 meters and loud noises up to 100 meters with its high quality Stereo Headphone.
This is not the only facility of this gadget as it also has an in built monocular which helps us to see any objects up to eight times magnification along with a digital sound recorder to help record the sounds for 12 seconds at a time (helping to gather evidences against some one). If you want to focuses on one particular sound then there is a fine tuning frequency knob which helps you to adjust the clarity of the sound.
Not only for detectives but this is a must have, even for nature or bird lovers to hear the birds sound or nature, even any pesky kids who love to interfere in others matters (just for fun). If you have already started to like it then its available with a price tag of $38.63, which is a wholesale rate as the costs per item depends on the quantity of products brought by you.

Technology Is Not So Scary
Forget the Silver Generation being weary of the onslaught of technology; people my age are sometimes stumped by it too. With manufacturers churning out futuristic, beyond imagination stuff; coping up with the functions and features on gizmos Enter Space Jam (not the movie!), a multi-user shared environment that makes communication between the tech-savvy and the not-so-savvy, easy. The setup actually just includes a camera sensor and a projector, the rest is just more technology conjured up by the designers.
Understanding Space Jam:
Everyday objects, such as a sticky note and a picture frame, act as input devices for the virtual world while the digital information is blended into the real environment through the projector and the camera.People, who have little knowledge about computer, not only can communicate with their family members through digital technologies, but also share their life with friends on the social networking sites. Friends and family can send the messages or photos with their favorite digital devices. Using the projector, the messages and photos can be displayed on the wall.They can leave a message to their family members by writing a physical sticky note, placing it on the wall and adding a tag, which indicates the person to whom this message is sent. The camera captures the content on the physical note, identifies the receiver, and the assigned date. Image recognition method is used to recognize the note from the wall image and cut the note image. The note image is then sent through Internet or MMS to the designated person on the assigned day.They can also browse digital photos by hanging a physical picture frame on the wall, just like the way they have been doing for years. They can hang a set of the photos by placing a pair of tags in a diagonal position on the wall. The photo slideshow is then displayed by the projector according to the position of these two tags. The tag on the top indicates the photo album they choose, while the tag on the bottom functions as the control button which is used to play, pause and resize the photo slideshow. A combination of recognition technology and multimedia software will handle photo browsing. The recognition module detects the triggered start/stop events of the photo browsing and notifies the multimedia software to operate the photo display.
The project was funded by INSIGHT center in Taiwan.

More Oddball Organisms: New Year Means New Weird

At WebEcoist, we take great pride in educating you on the abnormal side of nature, biology and other aspects of the environment, with the New Year proving no different in the case of lungless and bone-eating worms, imprisoned and ancient bacteria, and slightly off-kilter octopuses. All of these living organisms have recently raised eyebrows for attributes or behavior that are certainly strange on the surface but really interesting when understanding the reasoning behind the apparent weirdness or madness.
Breathe In, Breathe Out You Giant, Lungless Worm

Recently in Guyana, researchers discovered a strange-looking worm to say the least (as seen in the above pictures) that is believed to be only the second known lungless caecilian (an order of amphibians resembling worms or snakes). Sans nostrils, lungs or legs, the giant, lungless worm is known as Caecilita iwokramae and absorbs oxygen through its skin. Reaching up to 27.5 inches in length, this giant, lungless worm is aquatic and thus unlike other caecilita that live on land and are also much smaller (roughly 4.4 inches long). The unearthing of Caecilita iwokramae follows the 1995 discovery of the first lungless caecilian and a similar 2008 finding of a lungless frog. According to researchers, lunglessness is more likely to appear in smaller animals where the area of porous skin is increased in relation to body mass, thus making it easier to absorb oxygen.
Born to Squirm and Return: The Whale Bone-Eating Worms

Speaking of worms, scientists have been pleasantly surprised to find all sorts of new worms that make a living on feasting on whale bones. As one example, the Osedax yellow-collared worm was first discovered in 2004, with new species quickly springing up anywhere from slightly less than 100 feet to nearly 10,000 feet below the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Amazingly, these and other whale bone-eating worms subsist only on the bones of perished whales, which can provide enough food for 20 years and feed generations of these hungry, hungry, new worms.
Solitary Confinement: Only the Lonely and Angry Bacterium

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed researchers to imprison bacterium (the singular version of bacteria) and learn some amazing things about these tiny organisms. While trapped in glass cages that were only 20 micrometers wide, single Staphylococcus aureus (a bacteria that is seen in the top right/bottom images and known for causing serious, life-threatening infections) was able to alter its gene expression, something that scientists thought could only occur when dozens or hundreds of bacteria were packed together, according to new research. For some more context, bacteria communicate with each other through a chemical process called quorum sensing, which allows them to change their behavior, turn some genes on and off, and take on different roles within the pack. In the case of the bacterium that was trapped in the glass cage, it could tell that its chemical communication was going nowhere but still made genetic adaptations, specifically by producing chemical bombs called lysosomes. Typically, lysosomes eat away at whatever they touch; of course, they proved ineffective at breaking through the glass in the case of the imprisoned bacterium. Still, by producing the lysosomes, the trapped Staphylococcus aureus showed that only a quorum of one is needed for bacterial genetic alteration, a finding that researchers suggest could eventually help them understand how to prevent individual Staph cells from becoming full-out infections.
Suspended in Animation: Long-Living, Salad-Eating Bacteria

Not to keep grossing you out, but bacteria is proving itself fascinating. Recently, researchers discovered ancient microscopic bacteria (more specifically, Archaea microbes) buried in the salt flats of California’s Death Valley (top right image). According to the researchers, the Archaea (top left and bottom images) had been subsisting on just a few cells of algae for the past 34,000 years. Only 1/25,000 of an inch long (a micron), the Archaea microbes apparently went into suspended animation, ceasing all operations with the exception of sipping the nutrients of algae that had been encased in the salt, a process that likely allowed the bacteria to repair gradual damage to their DNA. According to the researchers, a single bacterium may be sustained by a single algae cell for 12 million years!
Veined Octopuses Are Nuts about Coconuts

On a lighter note, a recent study noted how veined octopuses have a bizarre affinity for coconut shells. More specifically, these 3-inch-wide octopi were found digging up both halves of coconut shells and then carrying these items with their 6-inch-tentacles. Especially interesting, the octopuses walked with the coconut shells, strangely appearing as if they were moving across the muddy ocean bottom on stilts. According to the researchers, the octopuses may be slowed down by the coconut shells but value them for hiding and protection, as this video wonderfully depicts.

For When Earth’s on Mute
You know it happens sometimes. Someone gets a remote like in those sci-fi movies or Adam Sandler walks by and boom, you can’t hear a thing! It’s crap! So what do you do? You get ahold of Dan Carrillo. That guy will hook you up with a combo that cannot be beat for the sound-impared. The “Emmerse” system uses glasses, a wristband, and an itsy-bitsy clampable keyboard. Speak or see, type or view.
The glasses are where half of the magic happens. In them, you can see text of the person you’re conversing with, complete with tone (like if they’re totally pissed), and icons. The icons you see in the first picture below are these icons. Don’t get hit by a bus!
Then the keyboard: it’s like one of those click-bracelets that were hot fashion for kids in the 1990’s. On this you can type in what you’d like to say and it’ll be spoken aloud by the wristband in a voice derived from you, the user. Alternatively, the keyboard can display your text on it’s back, just incase you’re in the library.
I wish it also had sensors so I could target enemies and one extra accessory missile launcher that I could mount to the back of a truck.

Around the World: 27 Fabulous New Year’s Eve Fireworks
[ Filed under Geography & Travel or in the Art & Design category ]
Auld Lang Syne and good riddance recession of 2009! Making noise and fireworks on New Year’s Eve is believed to have originated in ancient times, when noise and fire were thought to dispel evil spirits and bring good luck. Whether you make a New Year’s resolution or not, be sure to celebrate 2010. Yes, the fireworks can be harmful and dangerous, but they are spectacular without a doubt. In the United States, most of us have seen the ball drop in New York City and have also seen the fireworks, if not in person then on TV. But worldwide, we unite as one to welcome the new year with fireworks, so here are 27 fabulous New Year’s Eve firework celebrations from around the world.
Sweden

In Sweden, New Year’s Eve is a highly social time when friends get together, often setting off fireworks. Major firework displays can beed along the waterways of Stockholm and over the magnificent harbor in Gothenburg. At the strike of midnight and the start of the New Year, you would hear, “Gott Nytt År!”
From Russia With Love

In Russia, New Year traditions include a New Year’s Tree known as Novogodnaya Yolka which has a bright star on top and the tree is decorated with sweets. Another tradition is the arrival of Father Frost or Ded Moroz along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, the snow girl. Children wait for them as they bring New Year presents and keep them under the New Year’s Tree. To make Father Frost happy, children sing songs. Of course, no New Year is complete without a family get together, delicious meals, and fireworks. Look how lovely they are! С Новым годом!
Sydney, Australia

Technologically advanced Sydney, Australia, kicked the door closed to recession heavy 2008 with a 3.4 million dollar fireworks extravaganza. Over 1.5 million joined in the New Year’s Eve celebration and watched never-before-seen pyrotechnics that displayed simulated lightning, thunder and even rain. Sydney launched digitally from seven barges, seven city buildings, and the bridge itself, creating 100,000 individual pyrotechnic effects.
Fireworks Around The World

Does it not seem that we should be a more united world? At least at New Year’s Eve, we celebrate very much the same in most places on this planet. At top left, we see New Year’s Eve fireworks at Kopavogur, Iceland. At top right is a common image for a grand finale of fireworks. At Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, Cinderella’s Castle is surrounded by fireworks. At middle right, the crowd oooh’s and aaaah’s at the fireworks over Victoria Harbor. Lastly on the bottom left, Disney celebrates the with over-the-top fireworks at Illuminations, Reflections of Earth.
More Fireworks From Around The Globe

At top left, Hong Kong welcomes the New Year with a spectacular display of lights and sound. To the right, the boomsizzle and pops to accompany these fireworks were over Lake Union in Washington State. At bottom left, London does it up big on New Years Eve with their fireworks display, like this pink wheel. In Seattle, the Space Needle is for once not the highlight in the night sky, still lovely but paling next to the vibrant colors of exploding fireworks.
Recall the past fondly, but grab happiness in the New Year!

In Japan at top left and in Pittsburgh at right, major fireworks light up the midnight sky with excitement and hope for the future. No matter where on the globe, most people reflect on the past year and times gone by. The song Auld Lang Syne asks whether old friends and times will be forgotten, promising to remember people of the past with fondness. People toast the New Year with high hopes like in Singapore at middle right. On the bottom left, The Eye of Malaysia is not what holds the eye this time but the brilliant pyrotechnic show. In Texas, at bottom right, Lake Austin is filled with boats that hold people of all ages in wonder and appreciation of the fireworks.

Lincoln Chairs for 2010
Do you know what Lincoln Logs are? They are wooden toys shaped like logs (aka fallen trees) with notches in them so they can be stacked in any number of ways to create log structures. Log cabins is what they had in mind, the same kind US President Abraham Lincoln lived in as a child. This tradition of selling the parts and allowing the customer create the product is continued here, now, today, in a table system dubbed “Molecule.”
Molecule comes in several different sizes and shapes and colors, all based on two main shapes. As the shapes are brought together, they create molecule-like amalgamations, making for unique and easily re-configurable table groups with chairs. All wood veneer with an upholstered pad top.

Predator Motorcycle is the Scary Beast on the Road
I have seen many conventional bikes, but the Predator Motorcycle has really freaked me out, and it probably would do the same for you as well. Just imagine seeing the crazy Predator face staring at you in your rear view mirror on the highway – it would easily scare anyone that was just minding their own business.
The creator, Pitstop Motors of New Jersey, brings up this king of all custom made bikes with the awesome theme of the Predator Motorcycle. This bike is just spectacular, for it certainly looks very realistic for its design which is fully based on the famous antagonist Predator from the movie series. Moreover, it is not just for show but is a fully functional 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa with a monstrous engine and runs like anything on road but with increased intensity and presence as can easily be seen with the variety of images from Miggiddymatt, iO9, SSBMag and theOOrig.
The unbelievable Predator Motorcycle is extremely detailed and took the theme at hand very seriously, displaying the Predator face with great details, different skulls at various parts of the bike including one with its spine still connected and an amazing paint job to add to the setting. Overall, it is an outstanding custom bike job that tops many displays seen before.
I think this bike would be the dream machine for all the bikers who ride for speed, and with this kind of Predator theme, this bike is going to rip the road apart. But bikers would have to beware with such a beast in their grip, for the Police would simply look for reason to pull you over when they see such an Alien looking machine on the road. Not to mention scaring and shocking all bystanders.
Still, any Motorcycle rider would love to take this Predator out for a test drive, but let’s just hope they come back safe and not killed off by the monster.

Animals and even tiny insects have traditionally been a source for learning more about preventing and treating human illnesses, with this role continuing to be of crucial importance today. From using maggots to heal open wounds to milking mice for protein-rich lactose to understanding how gut worms may prevent asthma and dogs may predict diabetic attacks, the value of safe animal research is confirmed in recent medical breakthroughs.
A Punch or Boost to the Gut?
(Images via:Softpedia, Science Blogs, Best Colon Cleanse)
During vaccinations every couple of years, dogs are typically tested for parasitic gut worms, which can cause severe disease in not only beloved animals but the human population. However, according to a recent study, gut worms may actually benefit humans by preventing asthma and other allergies. Even though parasitic worms have been eradicated from most human populations due to better hygiene and food practices, they exist in 2 out of 3 school children in Vietnam, where the study was conducted. Using tablet treatments to rid the body of gut worms, the researchers found that the treated school children developed an increased risk of becoming allergic to house dust mites and cockroaches. Especially interesting with this study is the fact that such allergies are extremely rare in Vietnam, possibly suggesting that the presence of gut worms may have certain positive effects on the human immune system.
