BodyPad: New game controller

The QWERTY keyboard was designed 150 years ago, shaped by all the wrong reasons, and still masquerades as high tech when it is indeed a dinosaur. Ironically, it has been given an indefinite stay of execution thanks to the invention of the mouse, the lack of an obvious successor and a curious human resistance to change. Promising technologies such as handwriting recognition and voice recognition cried “ready” a few too many times before they really were and damaged consumer trust and … let’s just say that when we find a better way, we’re looking forward to a ceremonial burning of the keyboard.

Logically, the computer can be interfaced with the human in many ways, and the BodyPad is a perfect example, as it turns body movements into computer inputs, effectively turning the human body into a Gamepad! BodyPad is a motion sensor game controller that works with Sony's Playstation 1 & 2 and Microsoft's XBox. Though it’s compatible with almost every existing video game, it’s ideal for fighting, dance games, and some sports games too! Indeed, a bit further down the track, we can see the BodyPad teaching us how to dance, box, throw a baseball, shoot a basketball or kick a football.

BodyPad is a universal hardware system which works with existing games: no dedicated software is needed! BodyPad attaches to the gamers body and through flex-extensions of the players' arms and legs the game signals are triggered. More basic signals, such as direction and specific game signals are sent through buttons located on the BodyPad handles.

BodyPad signals operate on a 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency for up to 30 ft away from the screen: yet the Gamer only needs approximately 3 square feet in which to play the games.

BodyPad can be played as One Player only or up to 4 BodyPad friends may play at one time!

Just imagine playing your favorite game with this equipment.

The most complicated Chinese character

This is the Chinese character for Biang Biang Noodles, composed by a mere 57 strokes.Biang Biang Noodles refer to a type of noodles popular in China's Shaanxi province.The Chinese character "Biang" is one of the most complex Chinese characters in contemporary usage, although the character is not found in modern dictionaries or even in the Kangxi dictionary. Due to the fact that the Chinese character for "biáng" cannot be entered into computers, phonetic substitutes like 棒棒麵 or 梆梆麵 are often used.

Albino Animals

Albinism is due to one of several gene mutations that affect the production of normal pigmentation. True albino, or amelanistic, animals lack melanin and are white with no markings and with unpigmented pink eyes. In some species there is also a form known as blue-eyed (or "partial") albinism. There are also various degrees of patchy albinism - piebaldism - that occurs due to localised albino mutations in skin cells during embryo development. If the mutation occurs early in development, the patches are larger. If it occurs later, the patches are smaller.

It appears that it is now known that white tigers are not albinos, and nor are they a separate subspecies, but are the result of a recessive gene. They lack much of their normal colour so can be considered albinistic, but the presence of pigmentation causing the stripes and colour in the lips, paw pads and nose, means they are not albinos.

Architecture of the Arctic

These are buildings from the Canadian territory of Nunavut, where high winds, freezing temperatures, and the difficulty of transporting raw materials pose some interesting architectural constraints. All of the buildings above are in the city of Iqaluit, except for the flying saucer, which is in Igloolik.

Turns Regular Monitors Into Touch Screen Monitors

The Korean company NAVIsis has developed a technology that can transform any old regular monitor into a touch screen monitor of sorts. Their EZ-Canvas is a pair of sensors that you attach to the upper corners of your monitor, and when combined with a special stylus and their own proprietary software, you can treat your monitor as if it were a touch screen one: write on it, edit and select text, pretty much anything you can think of.

And if using a computer all day has completely destroyed the quality of your penmanship, fear not, for the included software attempts to interpret what you’ve written and turn it into legible text. Of course this brings up the question of just how “special” that stylus of theirs is, seeing as though many LCD monitors are coated with a special scratch prone coating, guaranteed to be destroyed with just the smallest hint of pressure applied. Better keep that warranty handy.

There’s no limit to which car nerds can go to polish the edges or knock out a few to realize their dream.I guess the owner of this Audi TT really loves the movie "I, Robot".
