The report found tablets are the most popular mobile devices, with 18 percent
of consumers using them for viewing paid video content, while mobile phone usage
isn't far behind at 16 percent, a J.D. Power and Associates said.
Gaming consoles remain the overall leader when looking at all digital devices
for viewing video -- 6.3 hours per week, compared with 5.3 hours on a
laptop/desktop, 4.9 hours on a wireless phone, 4.5 hours on a music player and
4.4 hours on a tablet, the survey results indicate.
Still, gaming console viewing has yet to match traditional TV viewing, Frank
Perazzini, director of telecommunications at J.D. Power and Associates,
said.
"These findings illustrate that while customers appreciate the convenience
and value that gaming consoles provide, the TV screen is still a preferred
viewing media," he said.
Access control system uses the human body for signal transmission - 1 views

BodyCom is a new technology from Arizona-based Microchip that uses the human body as a secure communication channel. As the number of devices at our disposal continues to increase, authentication and security become more important than ever. The system communicates bi-directionally between a centralized controller and one or more wireless mobile fobs, using the human body as the transmission medium. So, a gun could only be used by the person with the right key fob, for example, or a pet door could be secured so only the right pet can open it. Neither RF antenna nor wireless transceiver are required by the system, which also offers low power consumption. Other potential applications include security systems, patient monitoring, and gaming profile management.
