This is the first printer that produces photo quality pictures directly from a docked iPhone or iPod touch. Requiring no computer or software, the printer is controlled from your iPhone via a free downloadable app. In less than a minute and without ink cartridges, it prints crystal-clear 300 dpi resolution pictures with vibrant colors, thanks to patented paper embedded with yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals. The photographs are smudge- and tear-proof, fade- and water-resistant. The printer can produce one, four, or 10 images on each 4″ x 6″ borderless sheet. Occupying no more desktop area than a box of tissues, the printer also charges a docked iPhone or iPod touch.

The island had not much fertile land, not much water – but it was strategically situated between Asia, Africa and Europe, and the Therans made ”beyond the horizon’’ their business. One wall painting, the Marine Frieze, shows a newly invented kind of sailing ship breaking into uncharted waters. Around the edge are lions, date palms, and African antelope. This was a culture that interacted with the outside world. Thera would have been a legend in its own lifetime.
The apocalypse that destroyed it could not possibly have escaped the human radar. It would have become a story passed down the generations. I believe we find ghostly memories of it in one of the most famous myths of all, Plato’s account of the lost city of Atlantis; ”Listen to a tale which, though strange, is wholly true… these histories tell of a mighty power… that was swallowed up… in the span of one day and night… by the sea… and vanished.’’

Most weight-loss drugs help burn fat by speeding up metabolism, suppressing appetite, or both. But a new drug currently being tested on obese rhesus monkeys goes a step further: It reportedly “kills” fat cells. Researchers at the University of Texas think the drug could one day help fight obesity in humans.

This is the scanner that converts and restores 35mm slide images to their original quality. Its magazine accepts up to 50 slides at a time, scanning them automatically one-at-a-time, enabling large-scale conversion projects, and each slide may be previewed using the built-in light panel. A full 5,000 x 5,000 dpi resolution scan-its highest setting-of a single slide takes just over three minutes, capturing all the details of the original image at 34 megapixels.
Once converted, the software removes surface defects such as dust and scratches from an image (after the scanner’s infrared sensor detects dust), restores original colors from faded film images, and removes film grain from converted images. Images are saved onto a computer using the included USB cable. Includes Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 software.

This is the docking station that converts an iPad into a desktop computer. Extending from the dock is a mounting arm that secures an iPad on three sides, rotating 90º to offer portrait or landscape orientation while providing 45º of tilt. Sound is played from two upwards-firing, 5-watt speakers inside the dock, providing crisp, clear reproduction of music, game or movie soundtracks; includes an auxiliary line input for additional audio devices equipped with a 3.5mm jack. The dock includes a remote for controlling volume, next track, stop, pause, and play.
