Well… Kinda. Not really. Maybe. Anyway, Honda just made a wearable robotic walking maching that helps take stress off of knees and help old people climb stairs. It’s really geeky, though, so I wouldn’t imagine anyone wanting to wear this unless they absolutely needed to.
I have a paralyzed uncle, and seeing stuff like this gives me hope that he could one day walk through a park and fly kites with me again. C’mon, science! Make it happen!
Is the future so far away? Or is it here but we don’t know it? No, it’s not here and we’ll never be able to reach it. We are simply stuck in the present. Good thing technology keeps evolving. Does that even make sense? But before I begin to ramble I’ll start my post. Currently, a company called Mgestyk is developing a notable system for Gesture based controls. Not too much info is being revealed at the moment, such as price or availability. It looks like an awesome implication for the right applications with the right tweaking. Although if I used it too long I might get tired and go back to my mouse. Check out the video, or click the link for the original source.
That’s right. Scientists have recently been able to make clones from dead mice that have been frozen for 16 years. This leads scientists to believe that creating clones from animals that have been extinct for millions of years is possible, as long as the remains have been frozen in permafrost since the time of that creatures demise.
As if creating clones from living creatures wasn’t enough of a slap in God’s face. What is the world coming to?
A while back I posted an article expressing how ecstatically excited I was about getting my new BlackBerry 8330 from Sprint and told you guys to expect a review in the near future. Remember? If not, the article is here. Anyway, here is my review for what is easily the greatest phone I’ve ever owned.
Overview:
The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is an update to AT&T’s Curve 8330 and runs on Sprint service. The device starts at $99.00 (with one hundred dollar rebate) and offers a myriad of extra features not available with other providers. Sprint TV, Radio and the ability to use instant messengers other than BlackBerry’s are just a few of the additions RIM offers to Sprint users. Other features include integrated GPS, Bluetooth, 2.0 Megapixel camera with video recording, 3G network support, a full QWERTY keyboard, and the ability to use Pocket Express News source. Oh, and you get Brick Breaker for free.
Well I finally updated my ugly, outdated BlackBerry 7100 series to the BlackBerry Curve and I couldn’t be more happy with it. The phone was $99.99 with a $100 dollar rebate, which isn’t too expensive for a smartphone, but I only had 83 bucks. After asking all of my friends for $125 I ended up swallowing my pride and asked my parents for some cash. They reluctantly forked over a check for the phone, took all my money, and made me agree to pay them $50 for the next two weeks. So I’m totally broke, but I don’t mind. I love this phone.
My Baby!
You can look forward to an in-depth review of the BlackBerry Curve in the coming weeks. I want to make sure I can experience every aspect of the phone before I tell you guys what I think of it. But I’ll tell you this right now. I love it.
