well an Austrian designer has come up with a solution to help us with our smart phone addictions or as my wife calls it my appendage if you found yourself using your smartphone a little too much an Austrian designer named Clemens Schilling err might have a product to help you break the habit Schilling er has created a series of smartphone like tablets which he's appropriately calling substitute phones inspired by this compulsive smartphone checking idea each of these features are different arrangements of inset beads for you to move your fingers across some of which emulate a specific smartphone gesture like scrolling up and down a page unlocking a device pinch to zoom to recreate the feeling of using a modern handset when you have the urge to do so so the substitute phone isn't intended to be a fun replacement for your device it's intended to be a coping mechanism to deal with its absence you see with the alarming regularity of reports suggesting that smartphone use or excessive smartphone use is linked to mental health issues like depression maybe this isn't such a ridiculous idea after all what do you think no here's something interesting I thought this was pretty cool have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a thermometer in your phone the South Korean tech company known as crucial tech has reportedly developed the world's first micro sized thermometer sensor module for smartphones this according to the Korea Herald is able to measure a person's body temperature in just 0.5 seconds using a connected application the module makes use of an integrated micro electrical mechanical system and is said to be able to measure the temperature of humans or objects presumably animals - between minus 40 and 200 degrees Celsius of course the sensor is also implemented in such a way that the smartphone's natural temperature doesn't interfere with the measurements taken now just think about that for example that means that the CPU in a smartphone which normally heats up pretty fast after extended use would not affect the readings on this micro thermometer how would that work well we don't exactly know just yet however it is based on touchless technology users don't actually need to come into contact with the sensor to measure their temperature this could help lower the risk of infection and why the number of possible applications compared to more traditional thermometers the Korea Herald doesn't mention when we might see such technology implemented into smartphones this is only the first sensor of its kind and may take some years before we start to see it in a commercial context if that ever happens well if you didn't already feel that mother Google is watching you they really will be watching you soon the patent uncovered by patently Apple describes a sort of hands-free system that essentially opens a laptop for you it starts by pushing a touch-sensitive pad this then activates one or more motorized hinges that stop once the screen is in the correct position needless to say the complex system somehow isn't done though the patent also describes a series of ambient light and camera sensors that track the user's face by doing this a laptop could theoretically adjust its display based on the user's position that's right you might one day have a laptop that's following your head movements well whether you think that's spooky freaky are really cool I think you're gonna have to just accept it it's gonna be very commonplace in the next 10 to 15 years so said mister Broudy why well because we have the vast worldwide web and it's exabytes of information that we're looking at through these tiny little screens it's like looking at the beautiful universe through a keyhole it's ridiculous it doesn't work so when the Internet of Things kicks up you're gonna see everything that has an isp address which is pretty much everything have some sort of display screen right your windows your refrigerator door your car windshield the road itself can give you information it can tell you what the road conditions are up ahead where there's an accident where you can get to a detour and it can be catered just to where you're going HECO we have the beginning of this technology already it's just not very scalable just yet everything around you is gonna have an isp address it's going to be giving you information and taking it in at the same time that my friends is freaky now my audience is smart so smart that sometimes you're inspired by a business idea and then you try and get the name of that business in a domain name and your next prospective customer is searching your business name and they assume you have the dot-com and if you don't you're giving your business away to the one who does that's the power of a.com now why is that exactly well no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name.com and dotnet domain name extensions inject credibility and your online presence and who doesn't want to be credible and don't forget you get 15% off when you use our coupon code Android when you think domain names think domain.com you
