Two students at the University of Washington hope to solve this problem with their concept device, which they have termed the “Thimble.” The Thimble contains a fingertip camera and an electro-tactile grid which can read text and convert it to touch-sensitive Braille. The device can also interface with a user’s smartphone via Bluetooth for reading online content.

And why shouldn’t we care? Women have always looked for innovative solutions to tough problems. That’s why One Block Off the Grid (1BOG), a free service that helps homeowners transition to solar power, is hosting a free webinar to help women decide if solar energy is right for them. You’ll find out a lot of info about how to go solar in your home, and the environmental and economic benefits of converting to a solar-powered energy sy...

(I tend to believe that this price point will drop as the smart phone competition heats up.)His likes...He thinks this is the best Motorola phone, the best Verizon smart phone, and the best hardware he's tested that runs Android.It runs Android Eclair (2.0). He says that this version adds voice-prompted turn-by-turn navigation. Actually both the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment offer Sprint's navigation app which work well with both phones according to my tests.Its screen is sharper and larger than the iPhone's.His dislikes...No multi-touch. Actually the HTC Hero uses a multi-touch function sitting on top of the Android. I didn't like it at al...

From long-time players such as GE, IBM, and Silver Spring Networks to more recent converts such as Cisco Systems, companies across Silicon Valley and beyond are turning their attention to opportunities within this rapidly evolving sector. via pro.gigaom.com This is the first Webinar I've attended sponsored by GigaOm Pro. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the information presented, as it seemed too non-specific. The speakers didn't think that there would be the emergence of a new IT giant for smart grid management, but rather other players like Google (Google Powermeter) and HP (grid security service) would move into this vertical markets.The Cyber Securi...

Working at the National University of Singapore, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins researchers, they sought to identify a few tiny parts of the virus that have remained unchanged for years. Using information from public databases, the team identified forty-two short protein sequences that are shared by almost every single type of dengue fever. Those snippets are just big and distinctive enough to train the immune system so that it can recognize the disease and fight it. One thing that impresses me is how Singapore manages to attract so many expat scie...

This is the path to becoming a healthy person. Aligning yourself with the truth permits a better person to eventually emerge from within. If you happen to agree then you will love the Johari Window. Years ago two gentlemen came up with this little creature. Their respective names were Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham. The Johari Window helps you to categorize conscious and subconscious areas of your life. The window works much like a grid. It goes from the obvious and more conscious areas of your life to the less obvious areas that your may not be aware of. The Johari Window can be looked at from many angles and provides four basic forms of the Self (the Public, Private, Blind, and Undiscovered ...
