Sure, using Google Glass to record a video is a pretty neat trick, but how about uploading it to YouTube without a computer? Thanks to Fullscreen’s BEAM video sharing app for Glass, you can do just that. After setting up an account with the company’s website, Glass owners can use their high-tech eyewear to send clips to YouTube along with a tweet linking directly to the video. If you’ve managed to get hold of Google’s modern-day monocle and would like give BEAM a try, you can register at the source link below. As for the rest of us, at least we can watch the demo video after the break.

Magician & Investigator James Randi Talks Directly to You (Video)

Posted by on April 2, 2013 No comments

Last week James Randi answered your questions. But that was text, and he’s a performer (“The Amazing Randi”), so you need to hear the man talk to get his full flavor. He’s a good talker, too. So Rob Rozeboom (samzenpus) got on Skype with The Amazing Randi to talk about his exploits, including his debunking of a whole bunch of (alleged) frauds, ranging from Uri Geller to Sylvia Browne. The resulting interview was so long and so strong that we cut it in half. Today you see Part One. Tomorrow you’ll see Part Two. (The video’s here now; sorry about the delay.)

Electronic Sensors Printed Directly on the Skin

Posted by on March 11, 2013 No comments

New electronic tattoos could help monitor health during normal daily activities.

Taking advantage of recent advances in flexible electronics, researchers have devised a way to “print” devices directly onto the skin so people can wear them for an extended period while performing normal daily activities. Such systems could be used to track health and monitor healing near the skin’s surface, as in the case of surgical wounds.

Now On Kickstarter: A Thin, Solar-Powered, Bluetooth 4.0 Game Controller Built Directly Into An iPhone Case

Posted by on December 22, 2012 No comments

bluetooth-controllerGame controllers for iPhone are no longer all that rare, even though once upon a time Apple didn’t even allow them to connect to its smartphone. Still, there’s plenty of room for innovation in this space, and Justice Frangipane’s new design is a perfect example of how things can still get better in this market. The project is an iPhone case that while only 3mm thick, holds a Bluetooth 4.0 video game controller that recharges via solar power.

Vodafone Sure Signal now plugs directly into the wall, doles out more 3G at once

Vodafone Sure Signal now plugs directly into the wall, doles out more 3G at once

Femtocells are rarely subtle devices, including Vodafone’s earlier Sure Signal models. That’s what makes a newly revamped version of the Sure Signal so noteworthy — it’s very nearly unintrusive. The new edition plugs directly into a wall outlet and doesn’t occupy more space than a night light, letting it dish out 3G in low-reception areas without becoming a conspicuous part of the landscape. It’s also a better pick for offices, or just crowded homes, now that it can handle as many as eight 3G connections at the same time. UK locals who face the unenviable dual problems of cellular dead zones and tight spaces can solve both at once by spending £100 ($ 161) today.

Ask Slashdot: Hearing Aids That Directly Connect To Smart Phones?

Posted by on September 20, 2012 No comments



First time accepted submitter mtcups writes “I am a musician/IT guy whose hearing has suffered from VERY LOUD guitar players, (yes I do use earplugs now, but too late), and am faced with the outrageously priced hearing aids $ 4.5K+/pair and was appalled at their lack of integration with smart phones. It seems obvious to me that I should be able to control the hearing aids via a smart phone interface so I can shape the profile for different environments, and also control features like ‘hearing loops’ and Bluetooth connections. I have done some research, but my guess is that the hearing aid companies want proprietary systems and don’t want a smartphone interface since they would loose control and it would allow for competition for cheaper & better programs. I am not convinced that a combination of good ear-buds, good microphone(s), and a smartphone interface couldn’t totally replace these overpriced solutions.”

Gene Control, Delivered Directly to the Brain

Posted by on August 16, 2012 No comments

The technique could help patients with currently untreatable diseases such as Huntington’s.

A biotech company called Alnylam announced today that a small clinical trial for a genetic therapy based on RNA interference, or RNAi, suggests that the technique can have a powerful effect on its target gene. The therapeutic effect lasted for over a month with just one dose. The company is also working with a medical device maker, Medtronic, on a way to deliver RNAi treatment directly to the brain, in order to treat the degenerative brain disease Huntington’s.

Solar X-Flare Blasts Directly Toward Earth

Posted by on July 14, 2012 No comments



Freshly Exhumed writes with this excerpt from Space Weather: “Big sunspot AR1520 unleashed an X1.4-class solar flare on July 12th at 1653 UT. Because this sunspot is directly facing Earth, everything about the blast was geoeffective. For one thing, it hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward our planet. According to a forecast track prepared by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME will hit Earth on July 14th around 10:20 UT (+/- 7 hours) and could spark strong geomagnetic storms. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend.”

Nokia Aims Directly At Apple And Google With “The Smartphone Beta Test” Ad Spots

Posted by on April 2, 2012 No comments

It’s on like Donkey Kong. Nokia is back and ready to take on the big dogs. Several Nokia TV adverts started airing last night that don’t dance around the prime targets. Nope, Nokia’s latest ad campaign, The Smartphone Beta Test, is a clever but very direct shot at Apple and Google.

The campaign uses three videos (one above, two after below) with so-called behind the scenes footage showing a nondescript work space where three random workers are vetting issues about their upcoming smartphone. “Don’t hold it like that!” “The screen is fine. People can just stay inside.” “I just think the phone is fragile.”

New Interface Could Wire Prosthetics Directly Into Amputees’ Nervous Systems

Posted by on March 5, 2012 No comments



cylonlover writes “Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have announced a breakthrough in prosthetics that may one day allow artificial limbs to be controlled by their wearers as naturally as organic ones, as well as providing sensations of touch and feeling. The scientists have developed a new interface consisting of a porous, flexible, conductive, biocompatible material through which nerve fibers can grow and act as a sort of junction through which nerve impulses can pass to the prosthesis and data from the prosthesis back to the nerve. If this new interface is successful, it has the potential to one day allow nerves to be connected directly to artificial limbs.”

Stealthy Pen Test Unit Plugs Directly Into 110 VAC Socket (Video)

Posted by on March 1, 2012 No comments



Pwnie Express is a cute name for this tiny (and easily hidden) group of Pen Test devices. Their website says, ‘Our initial hardware offering, the Pwn Plug, is the first-to-market commercial penetration testing drop box platform. This low-cost plug-and-play device is designed for remote security testing of corporate facilities, including branch offices and retail locations. A security professional or service provider can ship this device to a corporate facility and conduct a security test over the Internet without travel expenses.’ Hardware buffs will recognize this unit as a SheevaPlug, but the value-add is that it’s preloaded with Ubuntu Linux and and a rich suite of intrusion/testing tools. The company’s ‘Founder and CEO and everything else’ is Dave Porcello. The video is an interview with Dave, in which he shows off and demonstrates some Pwnie Express products.

Hubble Directly Images Disc Around a Black Hole

Posted by on November 4, 2011 No comments



An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from the HST site:
“A team of scientists has used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to observe a quasar accretion disc — a brightly glowing disc of matter that is slowly being sucked into its galaxy’s central black hole. Their study makes use of a novel technique that uses gravitational lensing to give an immense boost to the power of the telescope. The incredible precision of the method has allowed astronomers to directly measure the disc’s size and plot the temperature across different parts of the disc.”
