This is surely the great news for the ladies and I think that I will surely pass on this info to BabyOpus and NannyJoe and ask them to put up a short writeup on this info as well.. A Smart Bra has been invented by Prof. Elias Siores, which makes use of thermography to detect little changes in temperature of the breast tissue to early find out the possibility of breast cancer before it spreading into surrounding areas. When tumors start to grow, there is a demand for higher blood flow. As a result, temperature will rise which signifies the initial stage of cancerous growth.

The Smart Bra will be equipped with a microwave antennae system, which can easily be woven into fabric. This super tiny atennae will be able to pick up any abnormal change in temperature in the breast tissue. The Smart Bra will also be incorporated with audible and visual alarms, which will emit two warnings to the wearers, audible or visual or both.

Some experts are worrried of the accuracy, which could result many false alarms, as they claim benign growths and nonmalignant inflammatory changes might also increase blood flow that would cause temperature rise too. Anyway, this is surely a great invention, at least there is something to warn you that something unusual is happening in your breasts and you must see the specialist if the warning persists. Prof. Elias Siores is the director of the Centre for Research and Innovation at the University of Bolton in the United Kingdom. I would say that this Professor should in some certin sense be receiving an outstanding ovation for such a find and creation. Always thinking about the health issues of the human kind. By the way isnt the picture great.

Sexy Solar Outfit

Women seem to want more gadgets carried around while they’re on the road. Some designers have some kind of crazy thought of incorporating the gadgetry functionalities into dress or suit e.g. the solar bikini that lets you charge your gadgets while you’re lying down enjoying sun bath on the beach. Here comes a dress for the women, which I bet you wouldn’t dare to put it on you. The Day-for-Night solar dress is made up of 448 white circuit boards and with little sexiness added, which is a dress that would eventually carry all the functionalities for every gadget for the ladies.

You’ll notice in the picture above, the dress is made up of many small titles. Which each of them is specially designed to accommodate a solar cell, a RGB LED, or a photocell, and jumper connectors (in the form of 0 Ohm resistors). And a control board is concealed within, which provides power and communicates with the tiles and link to a computer via RF. The titles can be removed or added to adjust its sexiness (or length). Both the software and hardware of the dress are made in modular, which means you can add on more modules to extend its power. It’s some more programmable via your computer’s USB port to extend its functionalities.

Isn’t it pitiful having to carry many of the circuit boards that add so much burden to the ladies? But anyways the girls who wear this kinda shows off quite a bit of their body at the same time. So offer a lot of females to wear this dress with the idea that it will help with the environment and you will be rewarded “) .

I remember the time when I was very young and loved LEGO so much. Hell I wont lie to you I still love it. But cant afford the types of LEGO that I love today. Coming with its own intelligence chip and motors to make it move it is surely the adults toy of the future. For you other LEGO freaks out there here is a LEGO trick to create your own scanner as below .

 A DIY project for building a scanner. The ingredients that make up the scanner are a webcam, some Lego bricks and milk. Milk? What does milk have to do with the scanner here? Lets look at how it’s built. The Lego bricks used to hold a webcam. The webcam is positioned to look down on a plastic box, where the object to be scanned is placed. And milk is used to fill up the plastic box slowly in order to provide the object a high-contrast background.

I’d want to be like Mario, stomping 1-up mushrooms in the wild, if those mushrooms would splash gold coins once get stomped. The 1-up mushroom shown to you here is meant to hold coins. It’s a bank, a piggy bank that lets you store all your hard earned coins in it. It’s the best piggy bank for the plumber to store up all his coins after a hard day or of hacking bricks and the plumbing work.

The Super Mario Mushroom Bank comes in two flavors, which are the 1UP Mushroom and Super Mushroom. It’s recommended you store up 100 coins for yourself to gain an extra life. Kinda like this toy bank at the same time it reminds me of my childhood when I am not able to let go of my Atari set which offers the Mario Brothers game.

I would play day in and day out just to reach the Dragon Monster in the end. Although I have done it time and time over again but each time you learn something new.

How often that you misplace stuff that you’ll have to search high and low to look for it? For us, nowadays, seem to be getting more and more forgetful, it’s time to depend on some high-tech solution to help locate your stuff around. This credit card-sized gadget, Loc8tor Lite is the latest member from the Loc8tor family. Like other members, it uses GPS technology to help you locate almost everything that has the homing tag attached to it. The gadget comes with two tags, but you’ll surely need more than two as you’re having more than two important everyday objects around. But no worry, additional tags can be purchased.

The Loc8tor uses audio and visual cues to point and guide you to the exact location of the missing tagged item, which could be stuffed down the sofa or you’ve left behind in a shop. It takes only minutes to lead you up to an inch/2.5cm close to the lost item, whether you’re outdoor or indoor, in complete darkness or in a noisy room. To find your item, turn around in a full circle then walk in the direction of the strongest signal shown on the handheld – It’s as easy as that!!

If you are looking for something that does not make so much noise head over to eBay and search for AndlyGold he is selling some Glow In Dark keychains that will blow your mind off. These keychains only needs light in the daytime and are able to shine like 8 hours at night without any other light source.

trev-three-wheeled-green-car-meant-for-urban-trips-only-230108.jpg

 

Trev is a three-wheeled environmentally friendly car, a product out of several years of effort by the students at the University of South Australia. Trev is ideal as a commuter vehicle. It consumes only 1/5 of the energy required by a conventional car, which relies on electricity as the only power source. Trev weighs only 595 pounds, has two seats only and can drive up to 93 city miles without having to be recharged.

Trev is equipped with only two seats as it’s meant for urban use, as most urban trips are made with one or two people in the car. The top speed of the Trev is only 75 MPH, which seems to be pretty limited for urban trips. Anyway, it’s still a prototype, which still has couple of rooms for improvement.

I hope that this car really gets into the market and fast. It looks so cool and especially the fact that it is Green is such a crowd attraction that it will surely give me some girls :0 .. Man I have goosebumps thinking about it already.

Ever thought that your iPhone has reached its limits in softwares and its uses. Now there is such a software that will blow your mind especially if you are a guitarist.

I love playing the guitar sometimes love songs and most of the times oldies. But playing heavy metal is and has always been something that I wanted to learn but it is difficult with the guitars that I have now. Owning an iPhone has always made me think that I am the best geek in town with the latest iPhone but today it has really blown me out of my seat.

The software called PocketGuitar, makes your iPhone to work like a guitar, developed as a Google Code project by a guy called Shinya Kasatani. Before I forget, the software works for iPod Touch too. You can also download the songs that you’ve produced during your long guitar sessions onto an iPod for play back.
