Electric Nail files - The top gadget

When I decide to write this post, the first thing I promised me was that the first thing I would say to you would be:

I don’t use “Electric Nail Files”, but I need to agree that it’s a good gadget and helps us to get reed of…the nails…right? The thing I really want to know is how much would you pay for a gadget like this?

10$, 20$…..just in your dreams. The price is 100$, more or less. Otherwise, it can be a good present to your mother for example, because it’s coming the “Mother Day”.

But, if you think that by buying this gadget you will lose your money, why not scanning the list below to the best present?

The poll of 4,500 Brits ranked the top 20 useless gadgets as:

Allergy to ipod?

Hi. It seems incredible, but everybody want to destroy Apples’ Ipod world even my nephew. He, yesterday tried to put my 8 GB ipod into the toilet. Oh man, if I come 5 seconds later I could say bye bye to my lovely gadgets, yes cause it costed 100$. Thanks God, now…It’s on my hands ( not the nephew…the ipod…of course).

Talking more serious, I think my nephew agrees with one chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Stony Brook University (wow, he just have 2 years….poor baby) cause that one says that ipod or Nokia mobile phones are the cause of many allergies.

So look what the concpetued doctor says:

“In addition to the typical pollen-producing allergies that are rampant during the months of spring, technophiles should take caution that some of their favorite gadgets may be the culprit of certain allergy symptoms.”

“Dr. Todd says that cell phones and iPods in particular can affect users who are sensitive to certain metals and minerals used in manufacturing. Nickel, which is prevalent in phone batteries, is one of the leading causes of skin allergies and can lead to “contact dermatitis,” he says. Furthermore, prolonged use of cell phones and iPods can also cause unsightly skin bumps or rashes to sensitive gadget addicts.”

I think he would be admitted to Dr.Houses team. :D Just being sarcastic.

So, Be aware, DO NOT TOUCH ON ANY IPOD (just those from apple) ;)

iPOD makes allergy?????

Sony to launch movies online store for PS3

Files under Sony, internet | Leave a Comment

This is getting excited. With faster internet and larger bandwidth anything seems to be possible nowadays. iTunes is a winner in multimedia online stores, but Sony doesn’t want to get left behind.

It’s not the first time Sony tries this, Sony Connect was shut down in March, while it was supposed to be iTunes’ rival. This time Sony’s market is quite tight, as it will only be available in PlayStation’s online store. This can mean exclusive HD content, although internet connections might not yet support these type of file downloads.

Humanoid Robots - The Best Gadget

It is normal the presentation of new and updated, upgraded prototypes of Humanoid Robots, almost every month we see a new video from youtube of a genre of robot doing this or that. Actually they are tested to be used in the future as a common electrodomestic to help the human being on the daily routine. When one day that I talked to a Portuguese creator of robots, the thing I asked was:

How the company on which you are working will make money with this? They are all in test phases, this is an investigation work of decades!!!??? Are you selling any product right now?

He answered: “MH (my nickname right here), you even imagine how my company is profiting…They are offered work investigation from other companies, as NASA or something like that, and they pay for the development and things that are then uncovered by our company. Whit that we make money, and we also sell some gadgets to hospitals (mainly this institutions, but also particular clients), because every single step we walk is a new world discovered to the medicine. Of Course, the State also contributes to this kind of work.”

I had, on that day a great and big talk with him, and this business still being misterious.

Now, I am here to post a video of a new and improved robot from Pal Technology Robotis (REEM). They have two prototips, and the second can get 12 kilos on him and do all the job needed to. Check it down:

REEM-B is the evolution of the first humanoid created by Pal Technology Robotics, the REEM-A. The first prototype was designed to play chess with the Hydra chess engine and to be used as development platform. With REEM-B, Pal Technology comes astonishingly close to its final goal; to create a humanoid service robot that will be able to help humans in the future with sophisticated tasks. Our robot can walk dynamically, recognize and grasp objects, lift heavy weights and go around by itself inside any building complex, avoiding obstacles.

It can speak with people and accept voice commands, recognize faces and remind appointments as a secretary. All these features, including the large battery autonomy, makes REEM-B unique in its type. Discover REEM-B, one of the most sophisticated humanoid robots in the world. Discover REEM-B, one of the most sophisticated humanoid robots in the world.

How to have free wireless internet?

I can tell you it is easier then you are thinking. You just need to have some devices that you can buy in an electronic store, close to your home. I haven’t tried it, because I am acceding free with my laptop without that a connection from a McDonalds. Nice, isn’t it? But imagine you want to link that wireless to a desk PC? Just follow the instructions and Good Luck.T

The Instructions

If you do everything they say, you will have something like this:

Now, think better. If you had been paying 30 euros for the internet monthly, you can be saving 30*12=360 euros, without doing any real crime, or something like that.
