This is the remote control wand that can change channels, volume, or manage other controls on your electronic devices. Forged with a motion-sensing accelerometer, it detects the hand’s nuanced movements to translate 13 distinct gestures.

Simply point the wand and your device’s remote at each other and push the function on the remote the wand is to “learn”–pressing “up volume” on a remote could be linked to the wand’s up/down gesture while changing channels could be linked to the wand’s clock/counterclockwise gesture. Other motions of legerdemain, such as quick taps to pause/play a DVD, forward/backward thrusts, and dramatic sweeps can be matched to nearly any existing remote’s functions.

Everyone, it seems, takes their cues on how alcohol affects the mind and body from an eclectic mix of knowledge: personal experience, pop culture, tall tales of long nights, the latest studies to make the health news wires, and second-hand tips. You might have gathered that alcohol is a depressant, that it’s dehydrating, that you can drink about one drink an hour and stay relatively sober. Some of that is true.
