Google DROID

I got a new cellphone yesterday. Although you can hardly call it a cellphone, it’s a smartphone.  It’s the Google DROID. It was just released on Friday. 

Here’s a video that shows some of it’s features.  Now I have to figure out everything it can do. 

Here’s just one thing it can do: Google Maps Navigation.

This hat will make you smile – Literally

The Happiness Hat from designer Lauren McCarthy is a wearable conditioning device that detects if you’re smiling and provides pain feedback if you’re not. Frowning creates intense pain but a full smile leaves you pain free.

An enclosed bend sensor attaches to the cheek and measures smile size, a servo motor moves a metal spike into the head inversely proportional to the degree of smile. Through repeated use of the Happiness Hat you can train your brain to smile all the time.

iPhone Halloween

Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman did more than dress up as iPhones for Halloween. Their costumes actually work. They’re each wearing a 42″ LCD television (weight: 85 lbs.) which get their images from the output of their iPhones. Cost: $2,000.
