Bluelounge Sanctuary Charging Station Has All The Wires You Need [Charging]We've seen neat and tidy ways to stick all your charging gadgets in one place before, but the new Sanctuary charger takes the biscuit by having all the wires and plugs you may need already built in. Ok, so it's actually got a power source with 11 different types of plug plus a USB socket under its lid, but that means it's apparently compatible with over 1,500 gizmos. Add in the fact that its looks are actually not bad, and you've got a winner. With one drawback: all that adapter-plug goodness means it costs $129.95. So you'll really have to want cable tidiness to buy this.(Via Gizmodo.)

Sun Microsystems is trying to do for computing what all the king’s horses and men failed to do for Humpty Dumpty. For decades, the semiconductor industry has broken silicon wafers into smaller chips to improve manufacturing yields. Now Sun has found a way to reconnect the chips so they can communicate with each other at such high speeds that computer designers can build a new generation of computers that are faster, more energy-efficient and more compact. The computer maker, which is based in Santa Clara, Calif., plans to announce on Monday that it has received a $44 million contract from the Pentagon to explore the high-risk idea of replacing the wires between computer chips with laser beams.The technology, part of a field of computer science known as silicon photonics, would eradicate

Logitech MX5000 Cordless Keyboard & Rechargeable Mouse. Keyboards and mice have been around since the earliest days of modern personal computers, and pretty much, their basic design remains the same. Admittedly, there’s really nothing wrong with the way they look and work, so why innovate, right? It might seem as such, but in reality, the applications we use today have evolved, bringing about a noticeable increase in complexity. So when a company like Logitech tries to innovate upon the basic designs of keyboards and mice in such a way that they augment our ability to use modern applications, we can’t help but smile. The Logitech MX500 Cordless Keyboard & Rechargeable Mouse comes as one of their latest products, and if previous models are an indication, then it’s safe to say

As we grow older that muse takes on more and more baggage, rendering its initial miserable/joyous purity lost amongst the responsibilities of adulthood. Multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Patrick Wolf harnessed that angst on 2003's moody and apocalyptic Lycanthropy, and has refined it without losing any of its edge on his latest: the elegant, volatile and still kind of apocalyptic Wind in the Wires. Wolf's voice has matured -- he's still only 21 -- into a lonely and powerful tool of judgment. [..] Lyrically, Wolf may revel in the

Two people who were implanted with Medtronic Defibrillator Recall are suing the company over injuries from the device. The patients are suing for their own damages and as representatives of a class of all users of the device. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Minnesota, the site of a previous lawsuit against Medtronic for an earlier implantable cardiac Defibrillator Lead Recall. The

We live in a wireless world. Most of the peripherals nowadays communicate over some type of wireless protocol whether it is Bluetooth, radio signals or Wi-Fi to access the Internet. The only thing that you still must have and holds your laptop is the cable to charge electricity. For a long time I've been saying (mainly as a joke) that we should invent wireless electricity, but I guess a team of six physics from MIT didn't think it is so funny and are actually working on it! This team have created WiTricity (which stands for wireless electricity). This technology is based on strong coupling between electromagnetic resonant object to transfer energy between them wirelessly. There is a transmitter and receivers that listen to the same frequency and need to be not more than a few meters away. The main problems that the group is still dealing with are: Efficiency - Make sure that not too much energy is wasted in the transmission. Size - Miniaturize the setup enough for commercia

In the space of a mere two records, cLOUDDEAD achieved way more than most bands achieve in a lifetime, as their releases stand as milestones in the abstract hip hop genre. And while the group called it quits in 2004, Odd Nosdam has continued on, releasing a variety of solo works. His latest effort, 2007’s ‘Level Live Wires’, may owe more to shoegazing and electronica than hip-hop. While the crumbling tape recorded sounds, downsampled beats and occasional rapping is still clearly present, Odd Nosdam has added ever-growing drones and waves of noise, not unlike those of Ben Frost. The humorously titled “Fat Hook” builds up from fizzing pads into a cacophony of noise and fuzzy synthesis. One could almost replace it with guitars and end up with something out of the My Bloody Valentine catalog. “The Kill Tone Two” samples a busted-up break-beat that is clearly hip-hop, yet adds live violin and vocals that create a rolling pastoral epic (TV On The Ra

Already-implanted wires should be checkedMedtronic is withdrawing electronic heart defibrillator wires from the market, after reports of malfunctions and at least five patient deaths.About 235,000 patients worldwide have defibrillators that use the "Sprint Fidelis" wires implanted in their chests.The tiny wires -- called "leads" -- connect the patients' hearts to the stopwatch-size defibrillators. Medtronic said the leads could fracture inside the patients' blood vessels, possibly causing the defibrillator to erroneously send a massive electrical jolt to the heart.The defibrillators are designed to detect an irregular heartbeat and deliver one or more shocks to restore a normal rhythm.If the device discharges erroneously, it could cause serious problems in at least some patients, medical authorities said.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/medtronic.html ~Sandy G.

By: Jason Petrina It can be tempting to go with the lowest priced product on many occasions and purchasing cable wires is no different. This is especially true as more and more exotic cable wires come on the market and consumers try to either justify the increased cost or ignore it all together. It is important to realize; however, that the speed and quality of your product performance can be directly tied to the quality of the cable wires that you purchase. As more and more electronic products become available on the market, we are frequently finding that we need more and more cable wires in order for all of our electronic products and devices to function well. It can be quite easy to go with the temptation to spend as little as possible; however, if you wan to truly enjoy your electronic products it is important that you understand the vital connection between your electronic devices, your cable wires and the quality of performance. Poor quality cable wires can seriously hinder the o

A Chinese man has driven his pick-up truck more than 200 metres on two steel cables 20 metres high. It took Liu Suozhu of Korla city, Xinjiang, 15 minutes to drive from one hill to another on the twin tightrope wires. “I just wanted to do something special,” he told the Tianshan Network. As a safety precaution, the four corners of the truck were attached by four thinner cables to the two main cables. Related Posts

By Christopher W Smith Bluetooth technology was created in order to allow ordinary technology users to enjoy the benefits of low bandwidth wireless connections. Bluetooth is a low power, short-range technology that allows wireless networking. It is able to do this by using radio waves to send and receive data at up to 720 kilobits per second.Bluetooth SpecsThe specifications for Bluetooth devices allows for different classes of radio transmission ranges. These ranges can reach up to about 300 feet by boosting the radio power. This technology isn't limited to line of sight as the waves it utilizes are directional waves, which are capable of transmitting through various obstructions.Industry StandardBluetooth is quickly becoming the standard as far as wireless communication is concerned. The real beauty of Bluetooth is the fact that it goes far beyond the most commonly recognized uses and connects all manner of devices. Not only cell phones, but also computers, digital cameras, PDAs, la

I’m on vacation right now. My uncle suggested I blog about my trip, and look out for [personal brand marketing] tips along the way. Of course I should web-log my trip… I’m On The Road, with my tablet (Kerouac 2.0, I’spose - 40 years hence). Well, I’ve been having too much fun on my vacation to blog daily. But I got a couple of down hours waiting for my Grand Canyon tour to pick me up…. so here’s 2 vacation-inspired tips: 1. Yesterday’s off-road ATV 4×4 action through the Sonoran desert makes me think of this: You should brand yourself by showcasing your unique interests! It makes you more memorable: Remember, ↑ Remembered ⇔ ↑ Referrals 2. Of course, sharing the hobbies of your community helps to create a bond too. For example, how many of you Mix Greens? …Golf with business? But that’s not what really inspired me to blog right now. Last year I wrote an article called “What are your White Wires?&rdqu

Over the years, a lot of speculation has arisen over the "moon walk." People have debated endlessly over whether they REALLY walked on the moon. My question is ...DOES IT REALLY MATTER? The fact that someone walks on the moon has absolutely no impact on anyone's life whatsoever. Sure, no one likes to be conned, but either way in the end...it really does not matter.http://theclevercynic.blogspot.com/

MarketMatador.com just covered the release and madness of the initial sale of the iPhone, but it looks like sales might be even better than expected. There’s no public expectation or sales number that Apple (AAPL) was estimating or trying to accomplish, but the current numbers should support another record quarter of earnings. The TechCrunch.com staff has been one of the first to report the numbers out of Piper Jaffray. PJ is estimating that “Apple sold half a million iPhones from 6 p.m. Friday through the close of business on Sunday. With the devices going for $500 to $600, that’s around $250 to $300 million in cash changing hands, depending on the mix of 4GB and 8GB units sold.” While profit margins haven’t been clear for the device, estimates have ranged from 20 to 50 percent per unit. Many websites have already disassembled the iPhone to show that aside from the touchscreen, many of the inner parts are relatively normal and inexpensive. Therefore, profit

Someday soon, you will be able to take the video stream that your set-top cable box brings into your living room and beam it to the television set in the back bedroom without hooking up any cables. You will be able to transfer the video footage from your last vacation from the camcorder to the TV without fumbling with wires. You will be able to send a multimedia presentation from a laptop to an overhead projector without plugging in any cords.These are some of the promises of ultra-wideband, a powerful technology that can transmit streaming video and other bandwidth-hogging content around homes and offices. Although ultra-wideband -- or UWB -- has been around for about 12 years, thewireless networking industry only last month received the crucial go-ahead from the Federal Communications Commission to develop the technology for mainstream commercial applications.Now ultra-wideband is poised to potentially shake up the world of wireless networking -- going head to head with more establis

Imagine a future in which wireless power transfer is feasible: cell phones, household robots, mp3 players, laptop computers and other portable electronics capable of charging themselves without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate.MIT team experimentally demonstrates wireless power transfer, potentially useful for powering laptops, cell phones without cords Wireless power transfer over two-meter distance, from the coil on the left to the coil on the right, where it powers a 60W light bulb.

Debo confesar que a veces me engancho con alguno de estos jueguitos en Flash. Lo paradójico es que son divertimentos bastante sencillos, por no decir pavotes, pero a la vez muy adictivos. Me parece que me copé así con Double Wires, debido al reciente estreno en el cine de Spiderman 3. El superhéroe de Marvel está nuevamente de moda, y este juego me permitió, con mucha imaginación, experimentar uno de los poderes arácnidos. El desafío consiste en avanzar arrojando telarañas y colgándose de donde sea. Me gusta el efecto de las sogas cuando levantan al personaje de un tirón, y me da mucha gracia cuando el muñeco cae fuera de la pantalla y sigue lanzando redes que no alcanzan a engancharse de ningún lado: creo que se podría aplicar aquí la conocida expresión metafórica como manotazo de ahogado. Para jugar, presioná donde dice GO. Y si no te gusta el Hombre Araña, te podés sentir como Tarzán, balanceándose de liana en liana. Si querés malograr aún más tiempo p

What would you say if in a few years from now you would not need a power cord to charge your notebook or to deal with those annoying, tangled up cords behind your TV and stereo? Or would you imagine that your PDA or cell phone could be recharged remotely? I would say that it is something from a more distant future, but research scientists at the University of Tokyo have come up with a unique material that can transmit electrical energy to nearby devices without the need for direct contact. The system is based on a well know phenomenon discovered by Faraday in 1831 - electromagnetic induction - when electrical energy can be transmitted without a contact, just like some electric toothbrushes that recharge while sitting in a plastic charger. The power-transmitting material is a plastic film with imprinted elements: Japanese Researcher’s knowhow - a contactless position-sensing system that allows to direct power to wherever the appliance sits . It has a two-dimensional grid of

Apparently a November interview that I taped with Carlos Watson in Princeton about the Democratic front-runners for 2008 recently aired as I got an excited email from one of my favorite people in NC. Among other things I apparently said, "I think America is ready for a female president." Of the DNC front-runners, I think Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most substantive candidate.A humorous line from a NYTimes.com article about Al Gore's return to Capitol Hill on Wednesday reads: "Mr. Gore stood with Leonardo DiCaprio at the Oscars, Queen Latifah at the Grammys and is on a first-name basis with the rapper Ludacris (O.K., so Ludacris only has one name, but still.)"Lastly, a review of Terry Eagleton's The Meaning of Life: "The cosmos may not have been consciously designed and is almost certainly not struggling to say anything, but it is not just chaotic either." On the contrary, "its underlying laws reveal a beauty, a symmetry and economy which are capable of moving scientists to tear
