A new distraction besides the handhelds?

Many people do not think about the distractions outside of the car. The example used in the article I read is the digital billboard. The thing that my table thought was ironic was that some of these digital billboards was that some are telling the driver to drive safe. 

RedEye mini

This is an application for the iPhone that is a universal remote for virtually all of your home theater equipment. This connector that plugs in to your earphone plug of the iPhone is 45 dollars. The reviews are positive, and I think that this is a really convenient thing to have. 

Logitech app for iPhone

This application that Logitech has put out is a mouse and keyboard for most if not all PC and Mac products. This application is free and it it's main purpose is so that a keyboard and mouse will not have to be dragged into a separate room when a projector is being used. It can also of course be used for generic needs.

New 1080p video for Canon

There is now a new camera that has come out from Canon that has the capability of 1080p video. I am a true user of Nikon and I often do not consider Canon. I believe that they are trying to compete with the new Nikon's that have been coming out. 

Google Buzz

Google Buzz is a really cool new addition to Gmail. By adding this Google Buzz to the addition of Google applications, they are opening their appeal to the more modern generation. This is also another step towards easier communication.

iGoogle

I really enjoy iGoogle because it has everything in one central hub. It is visually pleasing and has many useful applications on it. You can change your theme and settings of your page.

Billions to be spent on smart-grid cybersecurity

$21 billion is to be spent on this security by 2015. This is to protect from those such as hackers, terrorists, and results of natural disasters. The electrical power facilities are very vulnerable to things that could weaken it. 

Toyota recalls

Toyota has recently received several complaints of faulty breaks on many of their models. The first model is the Toyota Prius. Many of the issues that have been found are caused by the electronics in their cars. 2010 Prius comes with what Toyota calls Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-i)

3D t.v.

3D T.V. is, according to "them", is about to become the next big thing. Companies such as Sony are soon to come out with televisions and glasses to go. The glasses that are used in the theaters are compatible but there will be a better experience with the $70 glasses that they will sell. Companies are also working on camcorders with 3D video.

Robonaut2

Robonaut2 is a invention that NASA and GM have created to help into the next "era" of space exploration. It is stated in this article that the first Robonaut was to be released but then never was. They stated that there are many improvements with this one. I believe that this is important because it will continue space exploration but will not result in a loss of life.NASA and GM's Robonaut2 enables astronauts to feel the fear of obsolescence

Social digital photo frames

There are now some new phones out there that have access to not only photos from a memory card or usb, but also from social networking sites, emails, and/or specific sites for the item. This enables the customer to view a larger variety of pictures, along with accessing pictures that a friend or acquaintance might have.

The well known Engadget technology website is now about to air a new television show. It will discuss new technologies and things yet to be known.
