Blue2O2 - Pulse Oximeter 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Last week I had the great privilege of participating in the creation of a demo video of what is going to be, I believe, a revolution in the world of the aviation. I have to confess that I am pretty satisfied with the result. Let's see what you think. :-PThe device is actually a safety method to identify the levels of oxygen saturation and heart rate of pilots during flight. To those who might not know, it is specially important to being able to control these levels in specific conditions, such as high altitude or pressure, where the decrease of oxygen can lead to hypoxia.Hypoxia represents a serious problem in aviation, since it is known to be one of the main causes of aircraft accidents in the past. With the use of this device, this will not be an issue anymore! It is small, portable and wireless. Moreover, the device integrates on any laptop, tablet pc, or PDA as long as it runs Windows OS.Highly recommended! Read more:Pulse
LinkedIn Social Network 1970-01-01 00:59:59 LinkedIn is a business oriented social networking site. With more than 9 million registered users, in more than 150 countries, it is the ideal place to build your connections.The main purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust. The people in the list are called connections. Users can invite anyone to become a connection.It is specially useful to find jobs, people and business opportunities. I personally joined the network as part of my current job hunting strategy. This is for sure one of the best places I know for job seeking.Another cool feature is that you can have an online version of your resume (here's mine), which can be found as a public profile through regular web search. This feature may be very useful to market yourself in the internet.It is totally free and easy to use so I encourage you to give it a try! ;-)www.linkedin.com Read more:LinkedIn

A new era for the cell phone market 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Apple CEO Steve Jobs finally announced the long-awaited Apple iPhone during his MacWorld 2007 Expo held in San Francisco last January 9th. The iPhone will be three devices in one! A cell phone
, a wide-screen iPod with touch controls, and an Internet communications device. As has been widely rumored for months, Cingular will be the only iPhone carrier. Both Apple and Cingular stores will sell the phone starting in June. Europe will get it in the fourth quarter, and Asia will have to wait until next year. There will be 2 models to choose from: The 4GB will cost $499 with a two-year contract and the 8GB will cost $599 (also with a two-year contract). The price looks kind of high to me, but the good news is that we still have time to make some savings! Hehehe Beyond the music player, the iPhone runs on Mac OS X and promises a 2-megapixel camera, a photo-management tool that rotates the display for landscape photos (like with videos), support for Google Maps, conference calling, a sp
