Cellphone Tips and Hidden Tricks
This is a repost from an email I got earlier this week. I was skeptical until I tried it…interesting. Seems as though there are default settings for all cellphones? Checkit…
Multi-touch Technology
I mentioned this a long time ago. The Multi-Touch Interaction Research team with the first view of a screen with the ability to have such wonderful UI that involves touching and grabbing at the screen to move, launch, view, enlarge, shrink, etc. files, pictures, applications, etc. Here is a link to some of Jeff Han’s work.
Looks like Jeff Han has done it again and is releasing a new more updated version of his Multi-touch system. Watch the Video here.
Jeff Han’s new company name and site is Perceptive Pixel.
This is how I want to use a computer. I hope this comes to the home environment soon.

CompUSA Stores Closing Shop!
Well it took long enough for Sam Grupo to quit dumping millions into a company that was destined to die years ago. The last I heard was he was going to put $48 Million into Business Sales. This is absolutely retarded when they could have saves the stores years ago by using marketing strategies like TV commercials, Billboard, etc. So 125 will be closed by June 9th. Here is a link to the current percentages off of all items in the store.
Glad I quit a week before they announced the closures.
It’s FRIDAY!!!
Check your clothes
If you buy any new clothes especially jeans from Old Navy, be sure to inspect the inside of your pants before wearing them. Apparently stores are inserting the RFID devices right inside the normal looking tags down past the pockets.
I only found out about this after walking into two department stores and setting off their security systems on both my way in and out of them. The one manager asked me if I just bought new clothes, which I said yes.. And they told me that these tags where probably still attached, which the photo shows was.
Portable Pub
This is BRILLIANT!
This is an inflatable pub from Amber Iris that you can buy for your personal use. If I had a yard and some extra money I would buy one.
