This is a concept car for the future. It was created by the company "Infiniti" and it is a fully electric car.The inside and the outside appear to be very stylish for an electric car. The engineering in cars are becoming very outstanding and the technology in them are improving. This newly designed car relates to our course because you need to program various things in the car for it to work. You also need to program the GPS attached to the car so they can give you proper directions. This car is also a software and hardware because the actual car is the hardware, and the GPS part of the car is the software. Furthermore, this car is an environmental impact because it doesn't use gas which is very expensive today. That is how this car relates to the course.

This article is about iOS exposing the private data on your phone to third party apps. These include your photos, contact numbers and even your present geographical location. And a week later, Android was also discovered having the same security flaw. Both companies promised that they are working on fixing it. They should do it fast because soon, we are going to run out of personal data to expose. 

Super Mario Bros meets Portal. Imagine if they actually do have a game like that? from 8-bit till now? or if there is a portal gun in Super Smash Bros?

Blackberry phones are in the process of getting a rhythm to unlock your phone with. This type of technology would be useful to those who try to unlock their phones, but many people try to watch what password you put in so they can do it as well if they ever take your phone. However, with this rhythm that may come up it will be harder for those to try to pick up on what you are putting on your phone and it will be much more difficult to imitate it. Also, blackberry will be able to sense the touch so you do not have to make it obvious. I think this is more convenient because people won't guess your password as easily if it is a rhythm.

This article is actually really interesting. They made Zeiss Cinemizer OLED. This device is used too play games, and enter the virtual world, and control what you do in the game. You can walk, and play. It's like a joystick used for forward motion. From people who tried it, according to them it felt really life like. This device will actually be out this year in 2012. This device is really worth getting, but it is inexpensive it's $850 plus you have to get the tracking hardware. This is worth trying!

This article is for many of the Apple users who have both the iPad and the iPhone. There is an app called Touch DJ where you can use your iPad and iPhone. This app requires you to connect the both of them and can play the "Futulele" which is a virtual ukulele that you can play on your iPhone and iPad. The iPhone would be the frets of the ukulele and the iPad would be the body.

HP managers in Russia have allegedly bribed executives in the Russian Prosecutors General Office for about $9.7 million to land a deal to supply the office with HP computers, printers, etc for $45.3 million. German lawyers say that HP its self should be prosecuted and there should be a US investigation. HP is cooperating with the US and the court but say that they didn't that this was happening. The people who bribed those officials are not very smart because if you bribe someone you know that you will get caught sooner or later. Because of their actions this might cause a fall in HP sales of their software, computers and printers. Legally this ruins costumer trust for HP and could also cause fall of sales.       

Everyone's heard of Aladdin, one of the most cherished Disney films of all time. Have you ever wanted to soar on a magic carpet, just like Aladdin and Jasmine? You might be one step closer. A Princeton graduate may have cracked it with a prototype magic carpet. Take a look and check out the specifications.

Everyone is familiar with the infamous Blue Screen of Death, right? Well, Windows 8 has revamped their ever so annoying alert. The error codes most commonly seen on computers when the feared Blue Screen appears are gone, replaced with a sad emoticon that still leaves you guessing what's wrong. It does tell you that the PC is rebooting, but not why. Still infuriating and rather pointless. :(

Hate getting your headphones tangled into one giant mess?  Well these new Ecko Zip headphones combines the zipper with the headphones, allowing you to to rock more, and unzip less.

Look at this bike. It works, apparently, 99.999999999997, or, it fails three in every trillion times. It looks like your regular, average bike, but the bike is as good as a robot. Relevance? Moving forward in technology, bringing it closer to your every day life. Making everything easier for, breaking past the holds the society of the past puts on you. Cool.

Singaporean scientists have discovered that salt can arrange the magnetic grains in your normal hard drive in a more orderly fashion. Letting you have instead of a 1tb hard drive have a 6tb hard drive, The best part is that the upgrade means it is not expensive seeing how its just salt.

Relating the DS to Lady Gaga. Interesting. Anyways, the DS has gone through so many changes in its lifespan. I for one know that the one I had became obsolete months later, and that was annoying. So I sold it. But the opposite is happening for Nintendo. Apparently, DS sales have skyrocketed, but the 3DS sales have decreased shockingly. Why is that, exactly? Probably because Nintendo will now face some competition. Even after the huge price cut, they've only sold have a million units. Team Nintendo!

The Wii is so five years ago. But, could this bring it back? There is a possibility, which is exactly what the people at Nintendo jumped on. The new and improved Gamecube-free Wii is coming to North America. Not only that, but it comes with a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack (wow I've always wanted this) and is designed to lie on its side. The new Wii refresh has been advertised in Europe for around $150, so no big price drop. However, there is a twist to this story, folks. The old and Gamecube-compatible Wii will remain available, at the SAME  $150 price tag. So, really. What's the point? Making it the same price is only going to confuse people, and sales might not be as high as they want. 

Sweden's Jays have released the new t-JAYS. Ever listen to music and just hate the way your headphones look? With these new headphones, you can look cool while listening to music on your iPhones, iPods, and iPads. Sounds like a really bad infomercial, but these guys sell for $129 a pop, with 10mm drivers, a 360 MEMS microphone and a three button controller. If you've got the money, go for it, and improve your listening and music life.

Microsoft is now expanding to the Middle East and North Africa with their Windows Phone and teaming up with Brightpoint. I think that this is great for their business and allows them to spread their clientele, although they are a little behind compared to companies like Blackberry, who already have their products in these countries. 

A giant, spinning 3D helix of a bookcase, by Google. How cool. A digital bookcase for your digital books is what Google Books thinks is best. Over 10, 000 books can be held at any one time, so you'll probably never reach the limit. Navigation is done by spinning it around or swiping it up and down. It's kind of like browsing through a REAL bookstore. This is very practical for any and all avid readers, and can apply to almost anyone - you don't have to fill up the thousands of spaces immediately to love it.
