In 2011, BlackBerry was rumored to be developing a media box to compete against the likes of Roku and Apple TV. While that device never made it to market, it looks like the company did manufacture some units, as proven by pictures posted on the…
For those of us who have gotten on in age, you know that some parts of our bodies are not what they used to be when we were much younger. Our eyesight and hearing begins to fail, and we might end up popping more pills than we might be comfortable with. The thing is, even the regular pillbox might not be good enough a reminder for you to swallow those pills within per day, so why not enlist the help of technology?

Being on the cutting edge of technology is always interesting, and when it comes to contact lenses, we have seen our fair share of advancements made in this particular department before. For example, the iOptik from Innovega happens to be an augmented reality contact lens, while this pair of smart contact lenses purportedly measures your glucose levels. A bunch of engineers over at the University of Michigan have worked alongside the wonder material known as graphene, inserting a dielectric in between two layers of graphene, where it ends up having a sensitivity that is roughly equal to that of a standard digital camera. To know how it all ends up as a contact lens, read on after the jump.

Getting mad occasionally results in getting even, but often only in getting madder.
Ultimately, the whole point of revenge isn’t even to get even at all. It’s to feel that you have.
Edd Joseph needed to feel better about an internet transaction. As the Bristol Post declaims it, he bought a PS3 online for 80 British pounds (around $132) on the Gumtree site and the transaction went perfectly.
Except for the tiny detail that he didn’t receive his PS3.
This he deemed an arrow of outrageous fortune. So he mulled and cogitated and pondered and thought therefore of revenge and ceased to weep. (Oh, it’s “Henry VI,” if you must know).
The 24-year-old Joseph fell upon the realization that you can copy and paste things from the Web and send them as texts.
He told the Post: “It got me thinking, ‘what can I send to him,’ which turned to ‘what is a really long book,’ which ended with me sending him ‘Macbeth.'”
Joseph was mad because he knew he couldn’t get his money back. He’d paid by bank transfer (which is against Gumtree’s terms and conditions.)
On the other hand, he had an iPhone. He realized that with just one pressing of “send” he could text a whole play to … [Read more]

It was not too long ago that we talked about how South Korean conglomerate Samsung mentioned about a (then) unknown quantity in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Slim in Brazil. Of course, there was some excitement and buzz in the air considering how it seemed to be a new handset, but upon closer inspection, it does seem as though the Samsung Galaxy S3 Slim is actually nothing more than a rebranded Samsung Galaxy Win Pro smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Win Pro itself has been made available in China since December last year, where it is also set to arrive in India soon, too.

I wish these 3D animation shorts were a full movie. Called Tiny Worlds, it shows miniature sized characters and machines solving normal sized problems. Cigarette flicked on the ground? A tiny submarine will blast it away. Matches left on the street? A mini semi truck will haul it away. Gum on the sidewalk? Let’s call the small bulldozer. It’s super cute.
