      Sony Ericcson W380a Walkman Phone gets Gesture Control
      From the images that I have seen, I would have to say that the new Sony Ericsson W380a Walkman phone looks rather nice… This new clam shell phone allows users to control their music without the need to open the phone. The W380a incorporates ‘one-touch’ buttons on the top of the phone that light up when in Walkman mode. Not only that but, a hidden Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display is revealed displaying track information etc... The W380a also comes with Sony Ericcson’s new Gesture control functionality that provides quick and easy control of the phone without having to touch it – mute a call or snooze the alarm by sweeping a hand across the camera. Is this just a gimmick or something that will be very useful? You will have to be the judge of that.The W380a should be available in select markets at the beginning of 2008.Source: Sony Ericcson

      Festival Food and a sweet gesture!
      There are couple of festivals for which Amma makes the entire meal as Neivedyam and offer for pooja. From childhood, I have always remembered and associated different festivals with different goodies that get prepared. And we get to have them only the next season! So its always been something we look forward to.Like Poli gets done only for Ugadi and Kudumulu for Ganesh Chatruthi etc. Till sometime back Amma used to prepare lot of sweets and savory items too. She will start well ahead of the festival with preparations and do everything on daily basis. As a kid I remember waiting eagerly for her to give me some for eating. But since it can't be eaten without being offered to God, I used to pester her and then once done, used to gulp everything down. I used to eat only the snacks the entire time it was available. I used to be so trilled. I can still remember the different types of murukus that gets done. God it used to be wonderful! Later as I grew up, I used to help out with the prepara

      Imagine this scenario: Prime Minster Siniora in a press conference announces that in “a humane good will gesture” to Israel, especially to the families of the victims, he will order the army to search and deliver any remains of Israel soldiers it finds. Imagine the indignation, the accusations of treachery and collaboration with the enemy that he wil immediately face… Now back to reality, Nassrallah came on TV and just said that. As always he was hailed a hero, a true leader, while PM Siniora just for answering the questions of an Israeli journalist, with no prior knowledge his identity, is accused, on regular basis, of treason and collaboration… So anyone care to explain? Or maybe this is just another example of Al Manar’s and Hezbollah’s double standards and hypocrisy!

      Woman proposing marriage: romantic or threatening gesture?
      I started thinking on “marry me” subject and women proposing marriage when one of my friends said she’s going to do that tomorrow evening. “Do you think I’ll shock’im?”Do I think she’ll shock him? It seems to me he’ll get surprised, puzzled and tongue-tied.Indeed, now the world is upside down. The traditional gender roles have mixed and some new approaches are widely spread in everything. Women became more attentive to their future, they are no more waiting for Prince Charming, and they get free from stereotypes, learn creative and surprising ways. With this idea in mind, I find proposing marriage - a woman’s very romantic gesture worthy of his “yesss”. And so, in some relationships, I’m sure it is great for her to take the initiative in asking him the age old question.Being an unconventional kind of woman I can ask him marry me. I can do it regardless the matter of whether I should do it or not, whether it’s normal or not. I can do it in a special way, uniq

      Logitech MX Air – Gesture Control Computer Mouse
      Logitech have today revealed their new, much anticipated MX Air Mouse that not only functions in the traditional manner of mice - i.e., being moved around on a flat surface – but can also be waved around to control programs via ‘gesture command’. As a consequence, the devastatingly beautiful wireless Logitech MX Air Mouse, which in no small way appears to have been inspired by Nintendo’s Wii remote, will allow you program gestures that will be recognised to perform commands – such as selecting media files or programs. The MX Air comes with integral cradle which serves as a recharging station and features a host of back lit on-board buttons to pause, play and skip media files as well as volume controls as well as scroll keys instead of a scroll wheel. Due for release in August, the Logitech MX Air Mouse will retail for $150/€109 or £100 in the UK.

      Gesture Controlled Lamps using the Arduino Microcontroller
      These Gesture Controlled Lamps use the Arduino Microcontroller to detect movement and adjust the lights accordingly. If you want to get your hands on a free Arduino microcontroller have a look at the latest uC Hobby giveaway. “Gestures in front of any lamp affect all the lamps. The lamps all show the same display, but it depends on which lamp generated the triggering event. For those of you new to the project: the concept is “action at a distance”, the lamps all react in unison regardless of distance (well, within a few hundred meters). Technically, quite complex: uses AD5206 digipots, Zigbee radios and Arduino minis, all held together with some elaborate software.”

      Kimi Raikkonen escapes punishment for gesture.
      According to reports Kimi Raikkonen is not to be punished following an "incident" that occurred during Friday's second free practice session.On a fast lap, the Ferrari driver experienced difficulty in passing the Toro Rosso of Scott Speed, who appeared to be either deliberately blocking the Finn or simply hadn't seen him in his mirrors.Either way, when Speed finally pulled over, Raikkonen drew alongside and....Readers of a sensitive disposition should look away now!... gesticulated at the American, pointing to the sky with his middle finger.The incident, which was caught on camera, raised eyebrows in some quarters, resulting in the FIA checking the TV footage.According to some sections of the media, an FIA spokesman subsequently confirmed that no action would be taken against the Finn.And if it had, any remaining credibility that the sport has would be blown away, much like the grains of sand that drift across the Sakhir tarmac.We're absolutely positive that in his twenty-four years

      Gesture Controlled Computer using a Webcam
        Check out the latest Microsoft technology, it is Gesture Controlled Computer using a Webcam. “Using a $30 dollar camera and this piece of Podtech software that’s still in development, you can play with computers just like Tom Cruise did in Minority Report, by grabbing files by the nipples and dragging them around the screen. Using topological depth technology, it figures out what’s the static background, and differentiates it between the changing foreground. By pinching areas within the camera’s view you section off ovals which you can use to rotate and move around the display, and the researcher said more gestures are being worked on. What you’re looking at is basically an advanced, but limited, version of Eye Toy in disguise, but think about how many games you could use this technology with. ” Via: The Last Boss

Here's one of those, the first time I entered Dubai.I present my passport at the immigration counter. The immigration officer does not speak much of English, and for a couple of minutes flips the pages of my passport over from the left to the right, and back again, and again, and again. He attentively reads all the different visas, and mumbles to himself. He looks up, as to check where his supervisor is, does not see him, and goes back to flipping the pages.Me: "Excuse me, anything wrong?Him: He answers with the (gesture): the fingers folded together, pointing upwards, and slowly moving his hand up and down. I often go to Italy, and that (gesture) means as much as "what the ^^%%** are you talking about?" or "What the ^^%%** do you want?". So I get upset, right? I mean, it is rather rude. I raise my voice a pitc
