Even finding out where the influenza virus is hitting most hard and helping ourselves from becoming its latest victim this year.

Lightsaber door handle changes color when occupied

The “laser sword” we have come to know and love from the Star Wars movies, the Lightsaber, is the signature weapon used between a Jedi and a Sith, basically the weaponry used to counteract good vs. evil. Spanning back to 1977 when we were first introduced to the blade of plasma used to deflect blaster bolts and leave the defeated wounded with cauterized flesh, this pioneering form of combat was futuristic then and still remains ultramodern today. Although a true Lightsaber does not yet exist, there are other forms it does come in such as Star Wars toys and gimmicks and can now be a part of your entry…

On Twitter, it

On Twitter, it's okay for businesses to be irrelevant

There has been a lot of discussion about staying relevant on social media, rightfully so. Too many businesses are trying to “fit in” on Facebook and Google+ by posting funny images that they found on any of the various funny picture resources out there. They are not the right venues for such activities from a business perspective. Twitter, however, is. On Twitter, there is less of a differentiation between businesses and individuals. Facebook and Google+ both have pages for businesses that are handled differently from individual profiles. On Twitter, a profile is a profile whether it’s a person,…

5 ways the smartphone is changing healthcare

The US Department of Health and Human Services calls it “mHealth.” The m stands for mobile and the term defines and includes the many ways in which mobile applications and devices are being used “to monitor a patient’s health remotely” and “improve health outcomes, healthcare services, and health research.” With an estimated 40,000 mobile health apps available, new tablets and handheld devices on the market every day, and experts suggesting that people have already downloaded nearly 250 mobile health applications, it’s not a huge stretch to suggest that the smartphone…

Recession tip: focus on thriving, not just surviving

Recession tip: focus on thriving, not just surviving

When the overall economy is slumping, as it currently is, people begin to focus just on surviving—success is simply defined as the ability to pay bills on time. So, why is now actually the best time to start a business? Well, for one thing, there is less competition during recessionary times. Too many people are focused on surviving, not thriving. Challenging times actually create new opportunities since shifted priorities mean new needs must be filled. New businesses that can adjust to and overcome these difficult times have the great opportunity to enjoy a head start for gains when the economy…

Instead of fish in an aquarium, put a PC in it

Instead of fish in an aquarium, put a PC in it

Three challenges that accompany many PCs are cooling, noise, and aesthetics. They need a cool place to operate if you want to run many programs, they get loud, and they look ugly. All of these problems are solved by the AquariusPC. There are three designs named after cool cities around the world – Miami, Bali, and Marrakech – though the only real difference we’ve seen is the color. Don’t let that minor design flaw bother you – the aesthetic might not match a city but it definitely makes a statement. Completely submerged in water, these computers seem to operate just fine and with both cooling and noise…

The iDream 3 massager unites modern technology with the meridian theory of Chinese medicine

The iDream 3 massager unites modern technology with the meridian theory of Chinese medicine

At first I thought this idea was bizarre since traditionally massages included your feet, neck or back, so my initial instinct was to think of having my eyes or head messaged as a little odd. Then I began thinking of how much time we spend at our computers, straining our eyes, keeping our heads in one direction, but never did I think of getting a massager for them. In fact, I had no idea they even existed, especially beyond simply being a concept design, but sure enough there is an optical and head massager that is long past concept to purchasable, and its purpose will relax and rejuvenate you. …
