Flyswatters : The device was made as part of an effort to fight malaria in tropical areas.

this one isn’t quite at handheld size yet—but it’s still cool. Financed by Bill Gates and inspired by Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, scientists have built lasers that fry mosquitoes. The device was made as part of an effort to fight malaria in tropical areas. It can “hear” the wings beating, and proceeds to fry the buggers on the spot. The lasers are small enough to be placed on poles around the edge of villages, making a kind of “fence” that mosquitoes can’t pass.

Laser Keyboards

Keyboards are disgusting, considering all that gunk that gets caught between the keys—but with this new keyboard, that never has to happen to you again. There technically aren’t any keys. You just hook this little projector up to your computer the same way as your normal keyboard (it even works with Bluetooth phones), and it will project a laser keyboard onto any flat surface it is placed on. It’s capable of recognizing when you tap the keys, and even plays tapping noises to make it feel more like a normal keyboard.

Fibers in Clothing That Generate Electricity When You Move

he human body generates energy all day, every day. From motion, to making your organs work, to keeping up your internal temperature, energy is constantly being created. Now what if we could harness that for mundane daily uses?

ZnO fibers generate electricity when they become stressed. They’re so small they can be put into clothes, and they’ll generate electricity just when you walk around or when you breathe—possibly even from your heartbeat. In the not too distant future, you might even be able to plug your iPod into your shirt, and charge it from the excess energy your heart gives off.

Touch Screens

Microsoft is developing touch screens that don’t need the actual screen, called the OmniTouch. It projects an image from a small shoulder-mounted sensor and works on any surface. You just “click” the projection to use the screen.

Drawing, keyboards, phone pads, and all sorts of applications have already been tested with success. When you open a window, to check email for example, the system lets you draw the size that you want it to appear, and on the surface where you want it. You can have several things open at once, like the phone pad on your hand and the email window on the wall.

The Greatest Stories Never Told

Here are 100 tales to astonish, bewilder, and stupefy: more than two thousand years of history filled with courage, cowardice, hope, triumph, s*x, intrigue, folly, humor, and ambition. It’s a historical delight and a visual feast with hundreds of photographs, drawings, and maps that bring each story to life. A new discovery waits on every page: stories that changed the course of history and stories that affected what you had for breakfast this morning. Some surprising things you will encounter: the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer, Three ci**rs changed the course of the Civil War, and Some Roman officials were so corrupt that they actually stole time itself.

Albert Einstein (b.1879 d.1955)

Interesting Fact:
Einstein’s brain was removed within seconds of his death (without the permission of his family) in hope that future neuroscience would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent. Recent scientific studies have suggested that regions involved in speech and language are smaller, while regions involved with numerical and spatial processing are larger.

DO YOU KNOW.....

The First Photograph [France, 1826]

Taken by Nicéphore Niépce, this is the first photograph ever taken which still exists. He called his method heliography (sun writing) and this photograph took 8 hours of exposure time (hence sunlight on both sides of the building).
