I tillegg til det som alle japanske forbrukere forventer seg (rumpevarmer, bidet funksjon/spyling, automatisk åpning av lokket) så har denne også mp3-spiller. Det følger med en fjernkontroll der du kan styre spylingen samtidig som du skifter sang. Musikken blir lagret på et SD-minnkort, og prisen er rundt $860. Så hvis du lurer på hva du skal kjøpe til meg til jul…
I mars kommer hundemobilen. Når hunden din har stukket av kan du slå nummertet til hundemobilen, den tar automatisk “av røret”, og du kan snakke med hunden din og be den om å komme hjem. Den er vanntett og har innebygget GPS hvis ikke du har så veldig kustus på dyret ditt. De sliter foreløpig litt med batterikapasiteten. Det er firmaet Pets Mobility som holder på å lage den, og den kommer til å koste mellom $350 og $400.
Passers-by were too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.
A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.The attack was reported in parkland in the centre of Lazo, a village in the Maritime Territory, and was witnessed by three local people.
A “big” stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.“They literally gutted the dog,” local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.“When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them.”
Doctors in France say they have performed the first partial face transplant on a woman who had suffered extensive injuries in a dog attack.
Cuckoo clock pulls voicemail off the Internet and plays it back The CuckooIP is a student-built, Internet-connected cuckoo clock that receives alarms by phone (call and record a message and set a time for it to play) and then replays them at set times: the cuckoo comes out of his hole and the recorded message plays back.
Messages can be set for any time in the future; reminders, greetings, insults or revelations.
Endelig!
Identifying color is easy with the new Texas Advanced Optical Systems (www.taosinc.com) TCS230 frequency to color sensor. This is a high-sensitivity low-noise light-to-voltage optical converter that incorporates on board blue, green, and red optical filters. The sensor combines a photodiode and an amplifier on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit with a color filter over the photodiode. What’s really neat about this sensor is that it provides standard RGB color values with 90% accuracy!
Alltid kjekt å lese norske nyheter i utenlandsk media. Selv om det dessverre er Svisj.
Norwegian broadcaster NRK and Swedish wireless equipment maker LM Ericsson announced what they say is the world’s first test of interactive mobile television.
During the six-week test, users can download a program for watching and interacting with the Norwegian youth music program Svisj on their mobile phones.
Users can vote for the next music video by pressing a mobile phone key, and chat in writing with each other or the program leaders while watching the show.
In April, the NRK claimed another world first by broadcasting live reports from a 56-mile ski race that were transmitted with a video-equipped mobile phone.

SAM Aka SAMACLAWSSAM is the three time, undefeated champ of the “World’s Ugliest Dog” contest (2003, 2004, 2005).
News traveled very quickly, and Susie received emails from around the world expressing condolences, and many expressing how SAM had affected their lives. There has truly been an outpouring of love. SAM touched people in very different ways, from eliciting almost uncontrollabe laughter to being a little frightened, but mostly it was SAM’s and Susie’s relationship that enormored them to so many. There can be love, affection and respect for even the seemingly unattractive souls of this world. There have been emails telling Susie that more and more animals that had been considered unadoptable in the past are now being taken in and loved by new parents. Although SAM will be missed by millions, he surely did his good deed while on this earth! People have also indicated that they really want SAM’s website and blog site to continue. As long as there are more pictures, stories, and inspiration to pass on, Susie will try and continue. Susie passes on her deepest thanks for all of the support she has received from so many thousands of you. Sam - “World’s Ugliest Dog” Rest In Peace
Sam is a purebred, yes that’s right, a purebred Chinese Crested Hairless. He’s almost 15 years old and was taken in as a rescue over five years ago by Susie Lockheed. He was considered “un-adoptable” by local shelters. Susie took him in on a 48-hour trial period. During that time he lived in a cage because he acted like “Cujo” the rabid dog. Susie had to shove food and water into the cage and run. The 48-hour trial became several days, and then Sam just walked out of the cage and became one of the pack (other hairless dogs who found harbor in Susie’s domain).
Albert Swank Jr., a 55-year-old civil engineer in Anchorage, Alaska, is a man with a mission. He wants to install a nuclear particle accelerator in his home.
But when neighbors learned of plans to place the 20-ton device inside the house where Swank operates his engineering firm, their response was swift: Not in my backyard.
“Cyclotrons are not nuclear reactors,” explains Roger Dixon of the FermiNational Accelerator laboratory or Fermilab in Illinois, funded by the U.S.Department of Energy. “Probably the worst thing that could happen with small cyclotrons is that the operator might electrocute themselves.”
The Anchorage Assembly plan to hold an emergency publichearing on Dec. 20 to determine whether he will be permitted toinstall the device at his lifelong residence.
