Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Watch

Sony Ericsson liked Fossil's idea for a caller ID wristwatch so much that they took the technology and re-designed it as the MBW-100 — adding the ability to control their cellphone's music player from the buttons on the side (play, pause, next track). The functions worked well during the demo, although we didn't get to hear it switch between music and call or anything. The watch is seriously sleek (it comes in silver and jet black), much fancier than the Abacus from Fossil. My only question is about the usefulness of the music player integration on $399 watch. Wouldn't this functionality be more appropriate for a sports style wristwatch?

Sony Reader Pricing and Availability

Because we were scooping the rest of the world on the Sony Reader info, and posting numerous pics of it and its accessories, we couldn't quite release all the information at once earlier today, but now the embargo has lifted and we can tell you that the final pricing on the Sony reader will be $350, and it will be released in October. Plus, you get 50 bucks' worth of free e-books at Sony's iTunes-like store when you sign up. Such a dealio. Take a look at Brian's exclusive report and pics, tells the tale. Sign us up.

Exclusive Zing WiFi Music Player Photos, Smaller than Stiletto

DEMO is a bust for hardware geeks, but we did catch a live Zing music player—you know that one that uses WiFi to download internet radio and Sirius. The nice lady showing it off told me that they weren't announcing anything right now, but gave us a little tour of the player, as well as a chance to see how it stacks up to the Sirius Stiletto, which looked just hulking next to the cute little Zing. Granted, Zing has no Sat receiver, but it did have... a really cool menu system that didn't take you out of your song playback screen. Come to think of it, it reminded me of OS X's dock. And the wheel wasn't touch based, but it seemed to work ok for a not-iPod.

Intel Launching Quad-Core in November

Intel's CEO, Paul Ravioli Cacciatore Otellini said their quad-core CPUs are coming in November. These chips are made for servers and Xtreme gaming rigs, and will be priced accordingly. Versions of the CPU for mainstream desktops will arrive early 2007. "The initial desktop version of quad-core will be introduced as an Extreme version," Otellini said. "In Q1 of next year, we'll bring it into the mainstream under the name of Core 2 Quad." The four cores are useful for multi-tasking, which is great for bloggers cause we have tens of apps open at once. If only we got paid enough to afford one.

Buffalo Skype-tafied Keyboard

This is the fabulously-named BKBU-SKJ109/SV keyboard, from Buffalo Japan. It is your average keyboard loaded up with hot keys and media keys, but it also has a skype handset integrated right into the side of the keyboard. It looks like something straight out of a NASA launch room. It even has an external speaker. This keyboard will be available next month for $59.

USBCELL: pilhas USB recarregáveis

A tecnologia está ainda a dar os primeiros passos, por isso não sei qual será a verdadeira viabilidade da ideia, mas pilhas recarregáveis através de USB é a melhor ideia desde que inventaram as meias mais curtas para se usar no Verão. A ideia é facílima de explicar, basta levantar a tampa da pilha, ligar a bateria ao slot USB de qualquer computador (ou carregador) e pronto... ao fim de algum tempo está carregadinha e prontinha a (re)usar.

Hurricane Gordon

A view from the Space Shuttle Atlantis gives a good look of Hurricane Gordon. At the time the photo was taken, the center of Gordon was near 37.5 north latitude and 46.4 west longitude moving west-northwest. The sustained winds were at 80 nautical miles per hour with gusts to 95 nautical miles per hour.

Thompson GE 2830 Cordless DECT Skype Phone

DECT seems to be all the rage these days whenever someone wants to make a cordless handset or headset, and Thompson isn't one to miss out on the boat. Like the other DECT Skype phones, this has a base station that links to your PC and the standard Skype software, which then communicates audio to and from the handset. It has a 100-name address book, 120 hours of standby and 10 hours of talk time. One of the problems with a standalone WiFi Skype phone is their poor battery life. If you don't have it charging when you're not using it, the battery will die at an inopportune time. The GE 2830 is $149 and should be available sometime soon.

M300 GSM Cellphone Watch

Nerd timepiece! This GSM cellphone wrist watch has a 1-inch OLED screen, and does triband GSM after you drop a SIM card inside. The phone has room for 99 speed dials, and has 40 ringtones built in. Its batteries will last for 80 minutes of standard calls, but the phone has SMS capabilities, and even has Bluetooth for a headset. You know, so no one will think you're a loser while you talk to the wrist.

160-Megapixel Camera

Seitz 160-Megapixel Camera—One Huge Biotch This thing is for real. It creates a 6x17 digital image with 160 million pixels. The backside has a 640x480 color touchscreen display. Included is 16mb of flash memory—lololol j/k—no idea how much memory this behemoth takes. It will be available early next year ... for $33,000.

Holger PIP: Exotic Special Edition VOIP Phones

At London's Fashion Week, Hulger teamed up with Bill Amberg to dress up their phone line in exotic animal hides like watersnake skin and the leather ripped from a still live baby cow. Exquisite luxury takes pain, people. The phones being remixed include the rotary-type handset Penelope, and the PIP skype-compatible phones, available in phone cord and Bluetooth models.

Shiro SK9151 DECT Skype Phone

Speaking of Skype, a Singaporian company named Shiro has announced the SK9151 DECT Skype phone. In case you weren't familiar with DECT, it's the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications frequency, which goes on the 1.8GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz, which interferes with WiFi and Bluetooth. The Skype phone itself works without being connected to your computer, like the Linksys Skype Phone that we reviewed a while back. The Shiro has a base station which charges the phone and and connects to your computer via USB, which then interfaces with the Skype software on your PC. The phone has a 100 number memory and 20 number caller ID. It's also hands free, and lets you walk 50 meters away inside your house—300 if there's no obstructions

Noisy HTPC Fans? CoolIT Silently Does the Job with Liquid

Home theaters are not good places for PCs—the big complaint with home theater PCs (HTPC) has been their noisy cooling fans on their processors and graphics cards. Now CoolIT Systems makes liquid cooling more accessible with its Home Theater PC Cooler, a self-contained system specifically designed to easily drop into a media center PC. The maintenance-free system fits into the space normally reserved for a couple of three-inch cooling fans, replacing them with a radiator and tubes that carry cooling liquid around the CPU and graphics processor. Pricing and availability weren't announced yet, but other CoolIT cooling systems cost around $300 on the street. Expect to see this liquid cooling concept—long a favorite of overclockers everywhere—to become more mainstream soon.

The Anatomy of a Kiss

Most people think about what to do when kissing another person, but fewer ponder all the technical details behind it. No matter who you're kissing or why, the basic kiss relies heavily on one muscle – the orbicularis oris, which runs around the outside of your mouth. Your orbicularis oris changes the shape of your mouth while you talk, and it puckers your lips when you kiss. But orbicularis oris is really just the tip of the iceberg. About two-thirds of people tip their heads to the right while kissing. Scientists believe this preference starts before we're born, when we tip our heads to the right in the womb. So muscles in your head, neck and shoulders tilt your head so your nose doesn't collide with your partner's nose. In addition, the rest of the muscles in your face and head also play a part in a more involved kiss. For example: Several muscles move your lips around. Zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor and levator labii superioris pull your upper lip and the corners of your mouth upward. Depressor labii inferioris and depressor anguli oris pull the corners of your mouth and your lower lip downward. If you open your mouth, your lateral pterygoid pulls your jawbone down. Your massiter, temporalis and medial pterygoid close your mouth. Several muscles – your genioglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus and hyoglossus – move your tongue if you decide to use it. Kissing the Blarney Stone Tourists visiting Ireland often stop by Blarney Castle near Cork to kiss the Blarney Stone. It's said that kissing the stone bestows the kisser with the gift of blarney, or eloquence. Kissing the Blarney Stone takes a lot more than just lips. To reach it, people have to lie on their backs, hold a set of handrails and tip their heads backwards until they are essentially upside down. Anyone who has ever been kissed knows that the sensations involved aren't confined to the mouth. Your facial nerve carries impulses between your brain and the muscles and skin in your face and tongue. While you kiss, it carries messages from your lips, tongue and face to your brain to tell it what's going on. Your brain responds by ordering your body to produce: Oxytocin, which helps people develop feelings of attachment, devotion and affection for one another Dopamine, which plays a role in the brain's processing of emotions, pleasure and pain Serotonin, which affects a person's mood and feelings Adrenaline, which increases heart rate and plays a role in your body's fight-or-flight response Memorable Kisses? What was your most memorable kissing experience? Tell us here. When you kiss, these hormones and neurotransmitters rush through your body. Along with natural endorphins, they produce the euphoria most people feel during a good kiss. In addition, your heart rate increases and your blood vessels dilate, so your whole body receives more oxygen than it does when you're just standing around. You can also smell the person you're kissing, and researchers have demonstrated a connection between smells and emotions. Your body may also play a role in who you prefer to kiss. Researchers have proven that women prefer men with immune system proteins that are different from their own. In theory, having a baby with someone with different immune proteins can lead to healthier offspring. Scientists believe that a woman may be able to smell these proteins while kissing, and that what she smells may affect whether she finds her partner attractive.
