A musical full of Beatles songs? Not exactly... is more than that! It's been a long time since I felt that good watching a film.

Watch it and feel good about yourself and the people around you!

Touchless(!!!) remote control

Bang & Olufsen has created the new Touchless B&O remote control. Still a prototype, it was designed by Joris Van Gelder. Inspired by the idea of making a remote control exclusively for kitchen use, he wanted to come up with something you didn't need to touch because remote controls are considered to be one of the gadgets that house maximum bacteria.

Stop drugs. Start running!

Some runners reported that they felt so good when they exercised that it was as if they had taken mood-altering drugs. But was that feeling real or just a delusion? And even if it was real, what was the feeling supposed to be, and what caused it?

Researchers in Germany, using advances in neuroscience, report in the current issue of the journal Cerebral Cortex that the folk belief is true: Running does elicit a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner’s body pumps out, the greater the effect.

Apple Researching 3D Stereoscopic Displays

A new patent application from Apple details how to implement a 3-dimensional stereoscopic display. While 3d images have been around for years, Apple points out that computational power has advanced to the point where these true 3d images can be rendered and aminated in realtime. Apple specifically explores the implementation of "autostereoscopic" systems that don't require the viewer to be wearing special glasses or goggles.

I'm excited to see with my own eyes this thing!

Hard Candy

The cover of Madonna's new album may seem promising and kinkier than ever but we will have to wait until April 28th to get it in our hands (or in my case download it).
In the album's debut single "4 Minutes" she joins Justin Timberlake in a song we didn't really like. I heard it from various sources even if it's not officially released yet. What I didn't like about the song is that it "cries" to become a hit song without really deserving to be one :-)

Hopefully Madonna compiled her new album with better choices than that!
A little wait and we'll see...

Unbelievable innovation. Meet Apple's Macbook Air!

It's here in two weeks and it's beyond words. One year after Apple's announcement of the iPhone, they impressed us again. Apple's CEO (call-me-Santa-Claus) Steve Jobs just announced the release of the new Macbook Air. It's thin as razor!

This 13,3" and 3-pound miracle is 0.16 to 0.76 inches thick with a tapered design. The thickest part of the Air is smaller than the thinnest part of the Vaio. It has a full-size keyboard and 13.3-inch widescreen display. It utilizes a magnetic latch for closing and has an iSight camera like Apple's existing notebooks.

The screen is LED backlit like the MacBook Pro, along with a keyboard with light sensor. "This is the best notebook keyboard we've ever shipped," said Jobs. "And it's full-sized. And it's backlit.

New in the Air is what Apple calls a "multi-touch" trackpad, that works much like the touch interface on the iPhone. Users can move a window by double-tapping and moving, and zoom in by pinching their fingers. "We've also built in multi-touch gesture support. We've taken that even further, you'll actually be able to turn on all sorts of new gestures," Jobs said.

The MacBook Air will feature an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive standard, with an optional 64GB solid-state hard drive as an upgrade. The processor will be an Intel Core2Duo running at 1.6GHz standard, with an optional upgrade to 1.8GHz.

The SSD option is a $999 USD upgrade, bringing the total price to $3098 USD with the 1.8GHz CPU.

Jobs said Intel shrunk the CPU by 60% for the MacBook Air, inviting Intel CEO Paul Otellini on stage. "The processor is as thick as a nickle and as wide as a dime," Otellini explained.

The MacBook Air has a 45-watt MagSafe adapter, 1 USB 2.0 port, Micro-DVI for connecting to an external monitor and audio out. For wireless connectivity, 802.11n Wi-Fi is built in, along with Bluetooth 2.1/EDR.

Because of its size, the Air will not feature an optical drive, however an external Apple Superdrive that connects via USB will cost $99 USD. Users can also mount CDs or DVDs remotely from another Mac or PC on the network.

Jobs added that the MacBook Air will have 5 hours of battery life. With 2GB of RAM, the ultra-thin laptop will run $1799 USD for the base configuration. Pre-orders will be taken by Apple starting today, with shipping expected in two weeks.

Environmental factors were also taken into consideration with the Air. The display is completely lead free and Apple's first to be mercury and arsenic-free, the internals are BRF free, and the retail packaging is 56% less than that of the MacBook.

Wow factor is here again for tech freaks around the world and Apple keeps delivering them (bless them!) regularly...

This is what our cities will get 10 years later...

2008 in NY,

A pay toilet opens. But not an ordinary pay toilet. The kiosk, made of tempered glass and stainless steel, is about the size of a newsstand is located on Madison Avenue, between 23rd and 24th Streets.
The toilet itself is made of silvery metal, and more rectangular with curved edges than the familiar oval shape. Flushing, as on an airplane, is done at the press of a button. And men, take note: There is no toilet seat to leave up. There are toilet covers available. Also inside are a sink, a mirror and a hand dryer.

A user has a (generous) 15-minute period of privacy before the doors pop open — with a warning light and alarm going off when there are only three minutes left. In between is an automatic 90-second self-cleaning process, which will be one of the great mysteries of New York going forward, since it happens only when the doors were closed. But the news media was given a behind-the-scenes peek at the process: for one, a sweeping arm sprays disinfectant over the toilet, before it blows heat to dry it. And jets propel about seven gallons of water with disinfectant on the floor, which is not dried, leaving it wet for the next user.

There are all sorts of “just in case” precautions in place. For one, there are two red emergency buttons: one small and waist-high, the other big and toward the floor, in case someone falls. There is also a separate yellow button to reach an operator. The toilets are locked every night to prevent someone from camping out inside. And lastly, the floor sensors have both a maximum (currently about 550 pounds) and minimum (45 pounds) weight allowance, or the doors will not close. The minimum is to prevent small children from getting trapped inside. The maximum allowance is a bit of strange choice — as it is generous to allow two, or maybe even three, people inside. (Are they trying to prevent a party?)

The ethics of "piggybacking" (or "stealing" a WiFi connection)

A recently released study by a security firm says that using an open WiFi network without permission is stealing.

Network security firm Sophos recently published a study on what it terms WiFi "piggybacking," or logging on to someone's open 802.11b/g/n network without their knowledge or permission. According to the company's study, which was carried out on behalf of The Times, 54 percent of the respondents have gone WiFi freeloading, or as Sophos put it, "admitted breaking the law [in the UK]."

It's time to put an end to this silliness. Using an open WiFi network is no more "stealing" than is listening to the radio or watching TV using the old rabbit ears.
