數位時代的書店

我有一個想法 有一家沒有書的書店 進去後左邊是咖啡機 右邊的牆是一排一排的iPAD 你拿出你的手機放入iPAD的位置後就可以取出一部iPAD 然後書店就是一個很大的客廳般的有沙發 貴妃椅之類的 你可以在那邊選你要看的書 不過只有在這家店的Server上的書 你可以看而不是上到iTune

好了 問題是我該如何有收入 ? 哈哈哈!

PS.不是租書店!

Assembly: The New BUI

...

develop a new interaction language — a new BUI (Bodily User Interface) of sorts arises. Assembly, a research project by Emily Carr University student Lorea Sinclaire, explores different bodily gestures to interact with a mobile phone.

Interactions such as buttoning a coat, sends a signal of your location while stroking your hemline will send out a call to a friend. My personal favorite, hugging yourself and swiping your outer arms, signals you need help.

Assembly just skims the possible gestural and bodily interactions a user may use to interface with their mobile devices but it does begin to imagine a world where body language becomes a novel way to communicate with our electronic objects.

Find Your Inner Neanderthal

In the last few years, scientists have uncovered clues not just to what the lives of Neanderthals may have been like, but also clues that tell us more about what it means to be a modern human.

Most interesting of all is that, although Neanderthals disappeared long ago, their DNA lives on in all non-African people.

Lego's new line of toys for girls

Over the years, Lego has had five strategic initiatives aimed at girls. Some failed because they misapprehended gender differences in how kids play. Others, while modestly profitable, didn't integrate properly with Lego's core products. Now, after four years of research, design, and exhaustive testing, Lego believes it has a breakthrough. On Dec. 26 in the U.K. and Jan. 1 in the U.S., Lego will roll out Lego Friends, aimed at girls 5 and up. ...The company's confidence is evident in the launch -- a full line of 23 different products backed by a $40 million global marketing push. "This is the most significant strategic launch we've done in a decade," says Lego Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Vig Knudstorp. "We want to reach the other 50 percent of the world's children."

Taxi Pad

一塊放置在路邊的感應盤 當你站在上面時 他會發出訊號給遠端的Server (利用Wifi or 3G) 然後計程車公司或是個人可以搶標 標下那個位置 之後遠端的Server會將車號送到 Taxi PAD上 (例如語音) 這樣你就可以叫車了

當然啦 你有iphone or android  就按下Taxi PAD App 就好了!

Implementing bidirectional interface with a single common LED

It’s called LEDComm and requires only two pins of a microcontroller and a current limiting resistor to function. It works by making use of the fact that LEDs, once reverse biased, are also pretty efficient photodiodes, or light sensors.

Reversed biased LEDs can be modeled with a current source proportional to the light received, and a parallel capacitor. To read the amount of light the LED has received one must first charge the capacitor, and t

視神經退化怎麼辦？

Q：請問視神經退化大概是有哪些因素造成？有辦法復原嗎？

A：

通常會發生在以下列情況：

1.高度近視。
2.過度用眼。

視神經退化是沒辦法治療，可以使用葉黃素減緩退化，雖然退化是自然現象，但是對深度近視的人退化會加快好幾倍，所以平時就應多愛護眼睛。

使用Meir Schneidor可以恢復視覺的正常運動。

一、閉上眼睛，掌心蓋眼，觀想黑色，當你能看到黑色時，視神經才完全放鬆下來，平時看書或電腦二十分鐘，即用掌心蓋眼五分鐘讓眼睛休息，Meir Schneidor，這位從小瞎眼的視力老師建議視力不好的人，剛開始的兩星期每天做掌心蓋眼練習一小時，開始時眼睛會有些抽筋，累積的壓力要多次放鬆才去除，一旦放鬆就看得清楚了，先放鬆肩膀、後背，擦熱手心再蓋眼睛。

二、閉眼日光浴——閉上眼睛，面對太陽，觀想陽光進入大腦到全身，頭左右輕鬆地轉動，右轉時順手用右手按摩右眉毛，左轉時用左手按摩左眉毛，日光浴之後再用掌心蓋眼，放鬆幾分鐘，日光浴和掌心蓋眼輪流做，早上和下午的太陽做此運動較理想。

三、保持身體和眼睛的靈活，選一個有遠闊視野的地方做以下的練習。輕鬆地站著，讓身體的重心左右輪流移動，輕鬆的讓眼前景物移動，身體左右轉動，讓視野跟著身體動。選幾個不同距離的目標，將視線由近到遠、遠到近地移動，做這些練習時，隨時眨眼睛、深呼吸。

平視遠方時，將手伸展到上、下、左、右旁邊到視野的邊緣，同時移動或抖動手，可雙手一起，視線看著前方，這是刺激邊緣神經的運動。

視覺的改善與身體其他部位一樣，須多方面的進行。飲食天然、呼吸新鮮空氣、飲用乾淨的水、適當的運動，都有助益，情緒放鬆，不要刻意瞇眼，對視力改善 都有幫助，不要在意暫時的模糊，一般人在一個月內，視力會明顯地好轉，已戴眼鏡的人在恢復期間，眼鏡度數可能會減輕，盡量不戴眼鏡，鏡片過度的校正對眼睛 是壓力，因此，往往戴上眼鏡後，視力會持續的衰退。

從恢復視覺的健康，我們同時學到身心健康的方法，也增加對自我康復的信心。

Carrier IQ: What it is, what it isn't, and what you need to know

Carrier IQ claims its software is installed on over 140 million devices with partners including Sprint, HTC and allegedly, Apple and Samsung. Nokia, RIM and Verizon Wireless have been alleged as partners, too, although each company denies such claims. Ostensibly, the software's meant to improve the customer experience, though in nearly every case, Carrier IQ users are unaware of the software's existence, as it runs hidden in the background and doesn't require authorized consent to function. From a permissions standpoint -- with respect to Android -- the software is capable of logging user keystrokes, recording telephone calls, storing text messages, tracking location and more. It is often difficult or impossible to disable.

Is Autoimmunity a Result of Genetic Adaptation to Pathogens?

Although about 95% of the observed human genetic diversity appeared to be due to non-selective processes, a finding that was not surprising, adaptation to local environments—and specifically to pathogens—also accounted for a significant amount of genetic diversity. Viruses, bacteria, protozoan organisms that cause malaria and leishmaniasis, and parasitic worms are all examples of pathogens.

The study’s findings suggest that about 100 human genes have been strongly influenced by pathogenic organisms. Parasitic worms seem to have posed the most pressure on human genes. Because worms are complex organisms with longer lifespans than more simple pathogens, they may have co-evolved with people and exerted more pressure on the human genome.

...

This study offers new evidence for the hygiene hypothesis, a currently unproven theory suggesting that ramped up immune systems originally evolved to protect people from infectious organisms. As societies devised ways to keep pathogens at bay, however, their immune systems failed to adjust and they began to suffer from immune diseases characterized by too much inflammation.
