When you hear about or see designs that can really help people lead fuller lives, you want them available – now! That’s how MIT’s FingerReader
hit me. Well, I said, to no one in particular, if you can prototype it,
get it done, roll it out, let people who are blind or visually impaired
have access to it – right now! The FingerReader is something they will want.
The Office of Naval Research today announced that it’s created the future of combat support – a robotic helicopter, linked up to a simple touchscreen tablet that a soldier can use to send the chopper into missions too perilous for human pilots.
Earbuds are a fickle thing. When you have to fit so much tech into a
little earbud, something is going to have to suffer. Whether it is
comfort or sound quality, sacrifices have to be made. The Jays a-Jay Five
has tried to fit everything into one package. Available for the iPhone,
Android, and Windows devices, how does the a-Jay Five stack up to
other earbuds on the market?
With a handful of DIY remedies and a large amount of costly options, taking your tunes on the go –or even in the shower — are limited, until now.

Carolinian inventor, Andrew Clark, has created a doormat you won’t want
to throw away… because it’s very very smart.
Grill some hot dogs while charging your smartphone. Brew coffee and read your Kindle without worrying about the battery dying. With the BioLite CampStove, these things are possible. The CampStove burns wood and, through a thermoelectric generator, sends power to a USB port.
The driverless car hovers in our midst as the vehicle of tomorrow. What are the implications, however, when the driver’s attention doesn’t have to be focused on the road?

One thing boomers learn fast: Medicare and other insurance plans don’t
pay for hearing aids. And those buggers can cost up to $4,000 – $5,000 a
pair. There’s perhaps no one who knows these facts better than the man
who invented the Lyric hearing aid, which, on a subscription basis,
cost that much per pair per year! Now, that man, Adnan Shannib,
has invented iHear, the hearing aid for the 99 percent of us who would
love to hear, but can’t afford those Lyric prices. It’s the iHear, and
wait ’til you see what’s different about these hearing aids!
Intel is rather serious about making a mark in the slate PC market. Serious enough, in fact, that it will soon augment its lineup of Atom processors with nine or so new ones. Even the partial specs list we’ve gotten a hold of is confusing, so allow me to untangle it for you.
