The Amazing Invisible Mouse

MIT students have created what is likely to be a device that can take the market by storm. The Invisible Mouse uses a combination of infrared camera and infrared laser in order to read hand gestures in order to control a computer. You basically put your hand on the table with the IR devices pointing at it, move your hand like you would move a mouse and it controls your cursor exactly how a normal mouse would. Although the technology is still in its infancy and it does require extra hardware that manufacturers are not including with their computers – It has the potential to eradicate the need for an extra peripheral.

Although I have only seen it work on a laptop, it would be better suited to a desktop computer which is anchored to a desk. Because people have a tendency to use their laptop on their lap, finding a surface on which to place your hand may seem cumbersome. It also may be expensive for companies to insert the laser on both sides of the computer instead of just one (to cater for left and right handed users). So in that regard, the touch pad might be a better idea to keep built into the mouse. A good idea for desktop computers would be to build the laser and camera into the monitor. Many people have a tendency to put their towers on the floor.

Although the technology is relatively new; it is impressive nonetheless. It has applications far beyond that of controlling a cursor on screen. It could also have various military and gaming applications. It would also be good to help artificial intelligence in the field of robotics and software design. Although infrared technology has been around for some time, it is interesting to see people use it for new things.…

Dominate the Ring in Fight Night Round Four

Boxing Nintendo games have always been wildly popular. Seriously, who does not love an opportunity to rough up virtual opponents? They have also come a good distance since the days of Atari, and EA’s Fight Night Round four gives today’s gameplayers the most practical, entertaining title to date.

To be revealed as the winner, it’s important to enter the ring with a solid strategy in place. Your plan should change based primarily on your body type, together with the style your bloke likes to fight. With burly, short-armed fighters, it’s insistent to stay on the inside, using quick, powerful strikes to rattle your opponent. Naturally, that method will not work with taller, outside fighters, who should stay farther away and use their reach. Similarly, a conventional fighter should set up bigger punches with pokes, while sluggers wish to throw bombs and go for broke. Understanding the attributes of your fighter will provide a gigantic advantage within the ropes. Landing these scores points with the judges and makes it tough for your enemy to find their rhythm. It is the quickest punch to throw, meaning you can thwart opposing hooks and uppercuts.

talking of which, both the hook and uppercut can be strong if used in the correct way. Both are slower than the poke, but do plenty of damage when they connect. Hooks work best in combos, while uppercuts are most effective as counter-punches. You can throw the hook from farther back, while the uppercut will only work in close. Defensive actions like blocking and dodging will leave opponents open for a major blow, giving you the opportunity to take charge of the fight. By acting quickly, you can land your counter-punch and dish out extra damage. Take care, though, because dodging early will get you hit. Likewise, blocking and dodging simultaneously is far more effective than using just one.

For the best counter-punches, use the haymaker. This devastating blow is thrown by holding down RB and delivering an uppercut or hook. It’s exceptionally dodgy and should be saved for the moments when your opponent is most exposed. You will not always land it, but it’s’s worthwhile when you do. Fights can turn on one huge punch, and the haymaker can be the spark you want.

Everybody wants to go for the head, but it’s’s cautious to employ a heavy dose of body shots. Wrestlers often block their heads, making body shots, and body haymakers, less complicated to land.

On defense, keep your guard up.

And if you are falling behind, filthy strategies can do the trick. You can be disqualified for head-butts or low blows, but you also get away with them if used sparingly. They’re tough to defend and do plenty of damage.

ultimately, it will pay to land a barrage of punches in any given round, even if you are not dealing much damage. You can often win a round by connecting with more blows, even if they’re just puny jabs.

These tips are easy to learn but tough to conquer. Get the hang of each and you will be dominating opponents inside the ring.…

The Truth About The Newest Apple iPod Touch Gadget

The iPod Touch has been crowned as a king of hand-held gaming and the new iPod comes with three load of new features to make it even more gaming friendly. The apple upgraded the iPod processor and screen for smoother, and more detailed graphics and long last built-in video camera for DH recording, and more.

Do these new features make a must have? Let check it out.

First, let’s talk about the new screen. Apple has brought its high-quality resolution retina display to the iPod Touch, which packs pixels density so small so you don’t even see the lines of resolution.

The retina display provides vibrant visuals, and smooth and detailed graphics. It is not as nice as iPhone 4’s, but still the retina display is nice and great for gaming.

Under the hood, the new iPod Touch, the Apple packs the A4 processor, which helps to power the retina display and produce better graphics. It does not provide extra speed, but will allow your iPod to provide more graphically intensive games.

Apple also provides a built-in gyroscope to provide better motion and tilt tracking, but as of now, not many games apps are using it.

But the biggest addition to are, of course, the new cameras. Now, you can record HD videos, take photographs, and even video-chat with people over Wi-Fi using real-time. Video-conferencing works only between other iTouches and iPhone 4s, but it is still cool way of connecting people.

There are some issues with the iPod Touch: namely that it is still using stainless pack that can get scathed easily, and the base model has too little storage capacity for the price i.e. the cheapest model is $229 and it comes only with 8 GB of space and the price goes to $299 and $399 for 32 and 64 GBs respectively.…

This game is M for mature audiences, because of the violent language, scenes, and content, so make sure you are old enough and mature enough for it.

Square Enix brings you Tomb Raider, a game where you play as Lara Croft, who wants to search for adventure but gets shipwrecked on a mysterious island and gets trapped in this mysterious cave.

Do You Want a Free iPhone 4? Then Read On

The iPhone 4 is out on the market and everyone wants to get their hands on it. Apple’s new gadget is undoubtedly a masterpiece of engineering but like all high end mobile phones it is quite expensive. But I will teach you how to get one without having to pay a single cent. Sounds too good to be true? You don’t have to believe me. Just check it out for yourself.
But let’s look at what the new iPhone has to offer and why you should get one. Here are some of the features that have impressed me the most and that have already established the new iPhone as the best mobile phone in the world just days after its official launch.
1. The “Retina” display is by far the most impressive feature of the phone and the best screen I have ever seen on a handheld device. This is mainly due to the fact that Apple has developed a new technology which allowed them to make the pixels only 78 micrometers wide. This offers never seen before levels of detail even at high zoom.
2. The 5MP camera is certainly a welcomed improvement as compared to the one on the 3GS and the VGA camera placed on the front allows for a really cool type of video call that Apple has named “Face time”. It allows you to switch between cameras at any time thus creating a really unique experience
3. The body might look similar to the ones of previous models but believe me, it’s not. The metal casing and buttons are really peasant to the touch and give a feel of solidity to the entire iPhone.
And now let me tell you how you can get one for free. You see, a lot of companies are currently developing applications for the new iPhone and need a boatload of testers.
The testing process is really simple. You get an iPhone with an application on it and after a week you give the company your honest feedback. You won’t receive money for it but you will get to keep the cool toy that you’ve been entrusted with during testing. So don’t miss out and look into it quickly as spots aren’t limitless.…

Concrete That Cleans the Air

Emissions that are the result of burning regular fossil fuels (like the fuel in your car) are made up a massive amount of different compounds. Even if we are able to reduce the emission levels of one of these compounds it is a good thing and will help bring down the pollution created by driving. That is where the research done by researchers at Eindhoven’s University of Technology in the Netherlands will become a formidable method to reduce the global ecological damage caused by cars that are on the road. They have developed a concrete that strips nearly fifty percent of the nitrogen oxides from exhaust emissions.

The concrete was developed in a laboratory and after extensive testing a one thousand square meter stretch of road was laid to test the concrete in a real test of its potential. The concrete works by stripping nitrogen oxides from the air and converting them into nitrate (a nontoxic compound) as the sunlight and concrete worked together to break it down. The nitrate is then carried away by rain and never seen again. So it not only turns a once toxic chemical into something benign – but using the forces of nature makes the problem virtually disappear.

It is assured by those who can supply the concrete that the cost incurred is not really much more than that of regular asphalt or concrete. In this regard it can be considered economically sound as well as ecologically. It can also be mixed with regular concrete and asphalt without jeopardising the structural integrity of the latter materials. It may just be an easy way for roads to do something extra besides protect a vehicle from unnecessary wear – it will also help reduce the environmental effect of having many cars spewing forth noxious fumes from their tail pipes.…

MySpace and Facebook – The Shifting in Social Media

Like all fads that were once hot, is quickly becoming supplanted by a comer, . It was just a few short years ago, that everyone who was online had a MySpace page, now it’s Facebook’s turn.
When Fox bought MySpace for $320 million everyone thought it was the deal of the century, but times have changed.
When MySpace was cool, it was where everyone went to view pages of people who were on the cutting edge of technology. It had special features that made it fun. You could set up your page to play a favorite song when people came to it or you could put a skin on your page to change its appearance. For a while it was the hottest thing around.
MySpace began losing its most of its members in 2008 and the decline continues today. Many MySpace users are abandoning their pages and opening Facebook accounts. Some have maintained their MySpace page but primarily use Facebook.
MySpace’s fall from grace was not surprising considering how quickly technology changes. If you don’t adapt and keep current, users will find another online tool. Many people said they dropped MySpace because it was slow to implement user requests. It only recently implemented an updates system used by Facebook for well over a year.
Some also felt that MySpace was not inclusive, that it wasn’t a place where your grandmother would want to visit or create her own page.
Facebook is seen differently and that’s part of its overwhelming appeal. With Facebook, many entire families have gotten involved and created their own pages. So, with more users, Facebook has become the more popular social networking site.
In time Facebook will probably face the same fate as MySpace. Technology changes rapidly and people have short attention spans. New products are coming out all the time that are diluting people’s focus and making them want to trade in what they have for something new.…
