Shoppers who head towards the Georgia Wal-Mart will be pleased to know that there is the EyeSite kiosk available, making it a snap for folks to get their eyes checked while they’re busy shopping for their weekly groceries or simply taking a stroll through. The EyeSite kiosk is the brainchild of Atlanta entrepreneur Bart Foster, and his start-up company, SoloHealth, is currently working hard at testing the self-service vision screening device in several markets. Foster hopes to raise the awareness among people concerning the importance of visiting their eye care professionals for regular eye exams. After all, studies have shown that those who used the kiosk were in the end, recommended to pay a visit to an eye care provider in the immediate future so that their vision will not deteriorate any further.

June 23rd, 2008 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets, PC Gadgets, Tech NewsI just learned that the Napkin PC concept that we reported on six months ago has won a Next-Gen PC Design competition. On a related note, I found this Next-Gen PC concept, and I thought it was just as practical, especially for summer.
The Pool PC, aka PC of the Swim-Rings, is a waterproof computer that has a small place so you can attach a swim ring. Then all you need to do is lay back in the ring, let your body float, and you are free to check email, surf the web, or anything else you want to do on your computer.
It has many features including a GPRS receiver, Bluetooth wireless solutions, finger-touch input, a solar power driven processor, water-cooling system, as well as a magnetic charging interface. I believe that the swim ring holder can also house some speakers for non-amphibian work.
New Kevlar XP offers Ballistic, Trauma Protection
June 17th, 2008 by Edwin in Tech News
DuPont Kevlar XP is a new patented technology which offers both ballistic and trauma protection in a more comfortable body armor solution. So far tests have shown that Kevlar XP is able to stop bullets consistently within the first three layers of a vest designed with a total of 11 layers, while the rest of the layers found on the Kevlar XP absorb the energy of the bullet. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should walk right up in front of a firefight since the force of the bullet will still bruise your body. Guess the military will find this new development more interesting than us civilians, since we don’t deal so much with bullets and are restricted by some pretty tough gun laws out there.

June 9th, 2008 by James in Tech NewsClaiming that Starbucks has breached its contract regarding interim Wireless coverage until AT&T’s service is fully implemented, T-Mobile is filing suit against both Starbucks and AT&T. The legal action is due to Starbuck’s current practice of offering the T-Mobile service, which can cost up to $10 a day and $20 a month, for free while the AT&T wireless service is implemented to over 7,000 Starbucks locations across the USA.
The MPAA wants to control your DVR
June 9th, 2008 by James in Tech NewsSeeking permission from the Federal Communications Commission (an no doubt buying … er … lobbying for the right to do so) the Motion Picture Association of America has requested a hearing from the FCC to determine if the MPAA has the right to allow video distributors to block digital video players from recording movies on television. Swell.
