The Hacked!

Some of you may feel that USB drives should not be used for sensitive data because they can be easily misplaced and are likely to end up in wrong hands. Now, here is The Hacked! drive, designed by Windell Oskay is one piece of storage which no one would take a second glance at other than out of sheer curiosity.

Hacked maybe the most efficient method of data security available. It is actually 2 GB and the reason why nobody would like to steal it is because it looks nothing more than a slashed cable! It just looks nothing more than a piece of junk.

The Hacked! gadget should remain safe from dirty fingers. Feel free to include any sort of sensitive info you desire.

Maple Phone

Check out the new Maple phone which is made out of African Blackwood, which comes in the dimensions of 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm. It’s loaded with those common features found on today’s cellphones, such as MP3 player, digital camera, and obviously the basic functions like calling and texting.

When it gets your first touch while being at the off state, it’ll turn itself on, light up all those touch-sensitive buttons and become ready waiting for your next inputs. The Maple phone is said to use the capacitive touch technology. The price could be cheaper than any other average cellphones, since it’s made of wood.

e-skin

Researchers from Japan have developed a rubber that is able to conduct electricity well, paving the way for robots with stretchable "e-skin" that can feel heat and pressure like humans.

The material overcomes the problems faced by metals -- which are conductive but do not stretch – which is the first in the world to overcome the problem and rubber, which hardly transmits electricity, according to the team at the University of Tokyo. The new technology is flexible like ordinary rubber but boasts conductivity some 570 times as high as commercially available rubbers filled with carbon particles. If used as wiring, the material can make elastic integrated circuits (ICs), which can be stretched to up to 1.7 times their original size.

One application of the material would be artificial skin on robots as robots enter our everyday life; they need to have sensors everywhere on their bodies like humans. Imagine they bump into babies. Robots need to feel temperatures, heat and pressure like we do to co-exist. Otherwise it would be dangerous. It was also said that the new material could be used on the surface of steering wheels, which would analyze perspiration, body temperature and other data of the driver and judge whether he or she is fit enough to drive or it could be used on top of a mattress for bed-ridden people, watching if some parts of the body were under constant pressure and tilting the bed to change the patient's posture to prevent bedsores
