We're not sayin' we'd put one of these bad boys in our living room or anything, but adorning the board room table with a four-line VoIP phone that sports a built-in 3.5-inch LCD, webcam, and Zach Morris-style handset wouldn't be a half bad use of resources. The SysMaster Tornado M20 uber-phone does a lot more than hold down IP calls, as it also manages to handle video conferencing, IPTV, video- / audio-on-demand, internet radio, voicemail, email / chat / news, and local weather information. This conglomerate even touts a dual-core processor, 32MB of RAM, and 32MB of flash memory, and the integrated Ethernet jack, WiFi, RCA audio outs, and Linux-powered UI are all welcome additions. Of course, we've no idea if you can rig up Tetris on this thing and use the 4, 8, and 6 keys to control your pieces, but it'll only cost you $260 and a tick of your time to find out.

Uganda's phone-charging station
Uganda is a country coping with a severe energy crisis resulting in frequent power cuts. In addition, access to mains electricity in rural locations is limited. Given that mobile phones require power, and access to power can be unpredictable - how do people keep their mobile phones and other electrical devices charged? Last July a Nokia research team travelled to Uganda and explored this issue as part of a more in-depth study into shared phone use.
There are two forms of mobile phone battery charging services in Kampala - either offered as an additional service by phone kiosk operators or as a stand alone service. It costs 500 Ugandan Shillings (0.2 Euro) to have a battery recharged similar to the price of 2 or 3 phone calls. Whist both services appear to thrive there are a number of barriers to use: customers cannot use their phone whilst the battery is being charged; the customer risks, or perceives the risk that their battery being swapped for an inferior one; a perceived risk of phone theft - signs that suggest service providers are not responsible for loss or theft are evident.
Fact of The Game of Monopoly
In 1935, Charles Darrow was an unemployed salesman in Germantown Pennsylvania. At that time vast numbers of people in the United States were unemployed during the Great Depression, and there were no jobs to be had of any kind.
As Darrow got what odd jobs he could, he made a board game to play in the evening. Soon friends and neighbors were playing the game, in which every player could buy and sell real estate with names based on properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Not having any real money or chance to be real estate investors, the game gave the hard pressed people some diversion. Soon he was selling a few copies of the game to neighbors and to local stores. He was turned down by the large game and toy company Parker Brothers, because the game was critiqued as having 52 fatal faults in game design.Darrow kept selling the game, and it was soon in department stores in the area. One customer who bought the game was the daughter of the founder of Parker Brothers, who recommened the game to her father. Parker Brothers changed their mind about the game and licensed the patent from Darrow. Darrow received a royalty for every game sold, and became a millionare from sales of Monopoly. Within a month of the licensing agreement, Parker Brothers was selling over 20,000 copies of the game per week.

Hitachi: Move the train with your brain
HATOYAMA, Japan - Forget the clicker: A new technology in Japan could let you control electronic devices without lifting a finger simply by reading brain activity.
The "brain-machine interface" developed by Hitachi Inc. analyzes slight changes in the brain's blood flow and translates brain motion into electric signals.
A cap connects by optical fibers to a mapping device, which links, in turn, to a toy train set via a control computer and motor during one recent demonstration at Hitachi's Advanced Research Laboratory in Hatoyama, just outside Tokyo.
"Take a deep breath and relax," said Kei Utsugi, a researcher, while demonstrating the device on Wednesday.
At his prompting, a reporter did simple calculations in her head, and the train sprang forward — apparently indicating activity in the brain's frontal cortex, which handles problem solving.
Activating that region of the brain — by doing sums or singing a song — is what makes the train run, according to Utsugi. When one stops the calculations, the train stops, too.
Underlying Hitachi's brain-machine interface is a technology called optical topography, which sends a small amount of infrared light through the brain's surface to map out changes in blood flow.
Although brain-machine interface technology has traditionally focused on medical uses, makers like Hitachi and Japanese automaker Honda Motor Co. have been racing to refine the technology for commercial application.
Hitachi's scientists are set to develop a brain TV remote controller letting users turn a TV on and off or switch channels by only thinking.
Honda, whose interface monitors the brain with an MRI machine like those used in hospitals, is keen to apply the interface to intelligent, next-generation automobiles.
The technology could one day replace remote controls and keyboards and perhaps help disabled people operate electric wheelchairs, beds or artificial limbs.
Initial uses would be helping people with paralyzing diseases communicate even after they have lost all control of their muscles.
Since 2005, Hitachi has sold a device based on optical topography that monitors brain activity in paralyzed patients so they can answer simple questions — for example, by doing mental calculations to indicate "yes" or thinking of nothing in particular to indicate "no."
"We are thinking of various kinds of applications," project leader Hideaki Koizumi said. "Locked-in patients can speak to other people by using this kind of brain machine interface."
A key advantage to Hitachi's technology is that sensors don't have to physically enter the brain. Earlier technologies developed by U.S. companies like Neural Signals Inc. required implanting a chip under the skull.
Still, major stumbling blocks remain.
Size is one issue, though Hitachi has developed a prototype compact headband and mapping machine that together weigh only about two pounds.
Another would be to tweak the interface to more accurately pick up on the correct signals while ignoring background brain activity.
Any brain-machine interface device for widespread use would be "a little further down the road," Koizumi said.
He added, however, that the technology is entertaining in itself and could easily be applied to toys.
"It's really fun to move a model train just by thinking," he said.

Nyawa Di Hujung Tanduk
Sila click pada gambar untuk gambaran yg lebih jelas
Masalah dan cabaran yang menimpa kita orang Islam/Melayu amatlah kompleks dan runcing sekali. Lihatlah di sekeliling kita. Masalah dadah, sumbang mahram, penceraian, judi, murtad, ajaran songsang, ah long, pengangguran, buli, keciciran, muflis, penindasan dan banyak lagi….
Bagi mengembalikan hak dan maruah kita secara bijaksana, kita perlu faham keadaan dan kedaifan sebenar kita sekarang.
Gambar kartun ini melambangkan berbagai keadaan dan pancoroba kita masyarakat Islam/Melayu. Kalau kita tidak lakukan sesuatu, hari ini, bermula dengan kita sendiri keadaan yang sama akan berlaku kepada kita sebagaimana berlakunya berbagai penindasan, kezaliman terhadap saudara-saudara seIslam kita di merata dunia. Cuba ahli-ahli kita lihat dan berikanlah interpetasi yang dapat menyedarkan kita untuk bersatu, ikhlas untuk memperjuangkan maruah kita….Perbezaan pendapat tentu ada tetapi ianya tidak harus mengubah arahtuju Ummah ke arah penyatuan.
Saya juga berharap mendapat cadangan yang bernas. PRAKTIKAL DAN MANTAP. Mudah-mudahan dengan cadangan yang ada kita semua boleh mengambil satu pendekatan yang jelas ke suatu arahtuju demi kepentingan dan menfaat Ummah. .

Faizal Af4 gagal
Juara AF4 kandas ujian memandu di jalan raya
KUALA BERANG: Dengan disaksikan lebih 300 peminatnya, Juara Akademi Fantasia 4 (AF4), Faizal atau Mohd Faizal Ramli, 23, gagal dalam ujian memandu yang diambilnya di Sekolah Memandu PSM Academy cawangan Ajil di sini, semalam.
Dia mulanya mendapat markah penuh dalam ujian fasa pertama iaitu mendaki bukit dan meletak kenderaan.
Bagaimanapun, dalam ujian fasa kedua iaitu memandu di jalan raya, penyanyi yang popular dengan lagu ‘Lihatlah’ itu, terkandas.
Anak kelahiran Marang itu dimaklumkan seorang pegawai Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) dia banyak melakukan kesalahan.
Berikutan itu, Faizal terpaksa menduduki ujian memandu sekali lagi, Isnin depan.
Ada peminat Faizal kecewa apabila mengetahui penyanyi kesayangan mereka itu gagal memperoleh lesen memandu.
Ketika ditemui selepas itu, Faizal berkata dia akan terus berusaha untuk lulus dalam ujian memandu akan datang.
“Saya sedikitpun tidak kecewa dengan kegagalan ini,” katanya yang mendapat lesen belajar memandu (L) pada 29 April lalu selepas menjalani latihan memandu selama 16 jam pada 22 April.
Dia mengucapkan terima kasih kepada sekolah memandu berkenaan yang tidak mengenakan sebarang bayaran untuknya belajar memandu.
“Saya menduduki ujian memandu seperti orang lain kerana tak mahu mendapat lesen terbang yang tidak sah,” katanya.
Faizal mengambil ujian memandu bagi membolehkannya memandu kereta Toyota Vios, satu daripada hadiah yang diperolehnya ketika menjuarai AF4.
Sementara itu, pengurusan sekolah memandu itu memasang kain rentang untuk memaklumkan penyanyi muda itu akan mengambil ujian memandu, semalam.
Ini membuatkan perkarangan sekolah memandu itu didatangi lebih 300 peminat Faizal, termasuk calon yang menunggu untuk menduduki ujian memandu.
Mereka turut tidak melepaskan peluang bergambar dengan penyanyi yang terkenal dengan slogan `Senyum Sokmo’ itu.
