This is a machine that intends to replicate the hand reflexology treatment, where it will compress trigger points on the palm and back of hand using a mechanical air pressure system which kneads the hand. A bunch of physical therapists realized that this massager has proven itself to be effective in relieving pain and discomfort in the hands, and thanks to its soothing rhythm, it is capable of relieving tension, stress, and fatigue that are normally associated with extended keyboard and mouse usage. Once your hand is inserted into the device’s soft polyester interior, a single push of a button will kick start your choice of either a 5-, 10-, or 15-minute session at one of four pressure levels. Even far infrared heat is delivered during sessions in order to promote better circulation.

I am a firm believer in the less is more theory, but I probably dont mean it like you think. I believe that the less I HAVE to do the MORE time I have to do all the other stuff I want… I really enjoy gadgets that do things for me. I am waiting in breathless anticipation for the washing machine that will iron my clothes and a self cleaning refrigerator. Yup, my favorite gadgets are those that help me do less, and now that Tobii Technology has teamed up with Lenovo and come up with a laptop that doesnt require you to use a mouse – or a keyboard, well, lets just say the future looks bright.

To use the Lenovo laptop you just need your eyes. The process seems relatively user friendly, you simply sit in front of it and after a thirty second calibration test that consists primarily of following several dots around with your eyes you’re done, and the laptop will go through the paces that your peepers suggest, look at an icon,voila! information about that icon. If you are reading, the text scrolls as needed. It’s an unencumbered way to interact with your laptop, and one that could be ready for consumer applications in as little as 2 or 3 years.

Tobii’s new method of input and its accompanying software can be used in any number of ways, from taking over cursor control from the mouse, letting you move the cursor with your eyes to tracking gaze points, where gazing at an image for a few seconds brings it to the forefront and in a slideshow format, you can pan through images by looking from right to left. How very Mission Impossible!

While it might be a while before we can actually get our hands on technology like this, it sure sounds like fun, how practical will it be? That remains to be seen… I do see some amazing gaming possibilites and some strong usefullness to differently abled folks who might not otherwise be able to use a keyboard. I dont know why I’m so impressed, I can get my 8 year old to do almost anything just by the way I look at her…

Known as the Ballistic Tough Jacket, this is an unique and rugged carrying solution, and was specially engineered using high quality materials in its manufacturing process. Comprising a trio of layers that deliver a multi-faceted protective case option that cannot be found anywhere else on the market, you can be sure this is as safe as it can get for your beloved iPad 2 in everyday situations. It is not going to stop a bullet, but at least it can take a fair beating.

The first layer uses inner silicone layer to absorb shock, while the second layer is made out of impact resistant hard plastic that offers additional protection for the iPad 2, and the third (and final layer) relies on shock absorbent polymer which adds yet another avenue of protection for the iPad 2. As for the removable cover of the Tough Jacket, it has a two-fold function – you can either protect your screen whenever you are traveling, or use it as a kickstand at two different angles, ensuring a hands-free viewing if you happen to be using the iPad as a portable media player with a generous screen size.

Not only that, the Ballistic Tough Jacket also comes with patent pending Ballistic corners that ensures that all sides of your iPad 2 remains safe, guaranteeing it’s protected against almost any type of drop. With a “lay-on-table” feature, the iPad 2 screen is guaranteed to never come in contact with surfaces when laid flat, although there is no harm in being even more careful by throwing on a screen protector. You can choose from black or red shades at $69.99 a pop.

Okay, so it used to be that smartphone healthcare applications were simply novelty items that were fun to play around with but served no place in mainstream medicine, but didn’t we suspect that someday your phone or tablet might actually help physicians to save lives and reduce the cost of care? 

Welcome Everist Genomics, a relatively new, but fast growing medical technologies company, that has just successfully integrated smartphone and tablet computer technology with truly innovative and finally, medically valuable diagnostics in the areas of cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, (like diabetes) and even cancer.  So meet Everist Genomics’ CardioDefender. The CardioDefender is the world’s first FDA-approved  smartphone ECG (electrocardiogram) system that can actually provide physicians and patients with hospital-quality heart rhythm monitoring all done OUTSIDE of the hospital setting.  

The brand new CardioDefender utilizes many unique capabilities that let doctors diagnose and treat potentially life-threatening heart arrhythmias that might otherwise be missed.  CardioDefender is the first system to deliver mobile, real-time, beat-by-beat, and quantitative heart monitoring and automated reporting, by combining patented analytical smartphone software with its new Wi-Fi device and electrodes. “Honey, will you get the door? I’m having a cardiogram right now.”

The Defender works by utilizing a sensor bracelet that pretty much looks like a digital watch, the sensor then collects data and shoots it over to your smartphone, which analyzes it then stores it. If you in fact you do have a problem, you will receive an instant alert, but luckily, the data can also be sent to straight to your doctor. Which of course I would require, since the minute my smartphone told me I was having some kind of heart episode, I would certainly follow it up with a heart attack.

CardioDefender has already been deployed at more than 150 medical facilities in the United States for post-approval commercial evaluation and will be made available to physicians all over the world this year.
