Veebot Draws Your Blood
Posted in: Today's ChiliRobots are most definitely helpful, and they have certainly assisted in ensuring the industrial revolution has moved at a breakneck pace. Most factories these days have robots do all the heavy lifting at assembly lines, although these robots are more of machines than the common bipedal form factor that science fiction movies employ. Robots in the realm of medicine, too, have helped surgeries be more efficient than ever before. Well, here we are today presented with the Veebot, a robot that is capable of drawing human blood.
Veebot also happens to be the name of the very same California start-up behind it, where it will merge robotics alongside image-analysis software in order to locate the most ripe vein possible in your arm before it starts with the blood drawing process. It will first restrict the blood flow to your arm in order to have some veins pop up (hopefully), before an infrared light is shone on your skin while a camera gets to work by looking for a suitable vein. Before it plunges in the needle, ultrasound is used to ensure that it is an actual vein and not something else. The entire blood drawing process takes up to a single minute, and is said to come with an 83% accuracy in locating a vein. Veebot will need to touch 90% accuracy levels before it can proceed with clinical trials, now that is certainly going to induce a sigh of relief, no? [Veebot Page]

Are you currently looking for a job in an economy that certainly needs more than a shot in the arm? Well, searching for jobs might not be any easier than last year, but perhaps it can be more fun. How so, you ask? Nokia has launched an augmented reality job search app known as JobLens, where this particular app will jive on the Windows Phone 8 operating system. In fact, Nokia has hopes that JobLens could eventually end up as shaping the future landscape of job hunting.
When it comes to Android-powered tablets, the manufacturers behind this particular hardware genre are dime a dozen, and it can be pretty difficult picking an outstanding out of the crowd. Kobo is a name that some consumers might be familiar with, as they do have had 
The recently introduced Google Nexus 7 2, which is also produced by Asus after they rolled out its predecessor, the Nexus 7, is already 
When it comes to apps, they will more often than not need to be updated from time to time in order to keep up with the Joneses. Nokia is not different from the rest either (which is a good thing, actually), and we have word that the Nokia Pro Cam app has just received an update. This is one app that enables you to control the settings of the back camera which is located on the Nokia Lumia 1020, where you will be allowed to capture 38-megapixel photos among other functions. The update brings even more functionality to the table, where you will now be able to enjoy exposure bracketing to the functions of the rear camera, letting you personalize the use of the app.
Fashion is said to recycle itself – what is fashionable in the past, and is not so right now, might just end up being fashionable down the road a few years later. Well, that might be true where haute couture is concerned, but if you were to take technology into the equation, then certainly 640kb of RAM is not enough for everybody, especially in this day and age. The exterior of a computing device, however, might not mind taking a few steps back to the past. Case in point the X-Arcade Solo Joystick that certainly brings an air of retro about it.
