New Application for the iPhone
A new application for the iPhone
Technical News
The XWave enables users to control on-screen objects with their minds as well as train their brains to control attention spans and relaxation levels.
It works via a headset strapped around the user's forehead, plugging into the iPhone jack.
A state-of-the-art sensor within the device can then read the user's brainwaves through the skull, converting them into digital signals before displaying them in various colours on the iPhone screen.
And as the mind focuses on a particular task the graphics change, indicating the user's level of concentration or relaxation.
The device is the latest in the field of emerging mind-controlled games and devices.
Innovations giant PLX Devices developed the high-tech sensor using technology that has for years been used by doctors to treat epilepsy and seizures in patients.

| Riba, Perform Like a Responsible Nurse |
Japanese researchers have created a robot nurse that can lift elderly patients from wheelchairs and beds. Naturally, it looks like a giant teddy bear.
Riba, short for Robot for Interactive Body Assistance, was developed by the state-run Riken research center. Promoters are calling it the world's first robot to lift people in its arms.

Riba can also recognize faces and voices and respond to voice commands. There are no plans for immediate commercialization, according to Riken, but it will be deployed to hospitals over the next five years.
The big bear is an upgrade to Riken's Ri-Man robot developed in 2006 that could only lift about 40 pounds. Riba also moves quicker than Ri-Man, thanks to better processors.
apan has one of the world's most rapidly aging populations, a driving factor in the development of sophisticated robots.
The more robots there are, the less pressure there will be on the shrinking human workforce to care for elderly citizens.
Fewer people, more robot teddy bears. Only in Japan!

| Nokia N9 |
Nokia N9 the new MeeGo-based Smartphone with alluring design and features was unveiled at the Nokia Connection Event in Singapore. The phone is same one that was leaked. The first thing to know about this phone is that there are no front buttons. The Nokia N9 is so intuitive that a swipe or gesture on the curved 3.9 inch AMOLED display is all you need to navigate through the MeeGo OS. The candybar form factor phone looks very similar to the the N8 but honestly we were expecting something similar to the E7. Unlike the N8 though the N9 runs on Mee-Go which is really nice to see. The phone is set to ship in three colors: pink, blue and black.
The new N9 is the first smartphone running on the Linux-based MeeGo operating system and it’s collaboration by both Nokia and Intel. To leave an app and go back to the home screen, the user swipes from the edge of the screen. The Smartphone’s body is made of polycarbonate material to improve antenna reception and has a one-piece unibody design. Such a amazing phone.

Japan interduce a New Air Bus
Passengers can choose to travel in the Interactive zone
Science & Technology News
LONDON: With a see-through cabin, the aircraft of the future won't be for nervous flyers.Plane manufacturer Airbus has looked 40 years into the futrue and unveiled concept designs for the aircraft of 2050.The company's vision offers a revolution in air travel.
Gone are the regulated class divisions of First, Business and Economy, replaced by personalised zones that offer flexible, tailored levels of relaxation, interactivity and working spaces.Passengers can choose to travel in the Interactive zone, with a bar and electronic games where they can mingle and socialise. And those wanting quiet and solitude can choose the Relaxation zone.
The fuselage is replaced by a bone-like structure that will allow for panoramic views outside the aircraft.
For nervous flyers wanting to cut themselves off from the window views, or those simply seeking privacy from other passengers, seats would become 'holographic pods' that would shut out the outside world.
Seats could also change in size and shape for the individual passenger.

Seats could also change in size and shape for the individual passenger.
Entertainment would move well beyond the seatback TV screen, with concepts for the Interactive zone including virtual holographic golf courses or virtual clothes shopping.
Although Airbus are gazing 40 years into the future, some of these developments could be turned into reality and incorporated into plane designs so that passengers reap the benefit of air travel with minimal environmental impact.

"Our research shows that passengers of 2050 will expect a seamless travel experience while also caring for the environment," Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President Engineering, told.
"The Airbus Concept Cabin is designed with that in mind, and shows that the journey can be as much a voyage of discovery as the destination."

Amphibious Lamborghini - Amazing Floating Car
I never thought I'd see the day when a Lamborghini is seen floating. But here we are, that day has come. This unique classically mid-engined Lamborghini
Countach has been designed by Mike Ryan and it travels smoothly on both land and water. An amphibious Lamborghini, sounds neat. Of course, this baby is going to be quite slow in water, still it looks pretty novel. I doubt anyone will really use it in water anyway, but it's nice to have the option. Looking at the pictures, it totally reminds me of Bond movies or something. Imagine all the thrilling adventures you can have in this amphibious Lamborghini!

Akrit Jaswal: The Seven Year-Old Surgeon
Akrit Jaswal is a young Indian who has been called "the world’s smartest boy" and it’s easy to see why. His IQ is 146 and is considered the smartest person his age in India —a country of more than a billion people.
Akrit came to public attention when in 2000 he performed his first medical procedure at his family home. He was seven. His patient — a local girl who could not afford a doctor — was eight. Her hand had been burnt in a fire, causing her fingers to close into a tight fist that wouldn’t open. Akrit had no formal medical training and no experience of surgery, yet he managed to free her fingers and she was able to use her hand again.
He focused his phenomenal intelligence on medicine and at the age of twelve he claimed to be on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer. He is now studying for a science degree at ChandigarhCollege and is the youngest student ever accepted by an Indian University
