Apple iPhone Slide Out Keyboard
| May 15, 2011
This is the iPhone4 case with a slide-out keyboard that provides more tactile typing than the iPhone4’s touchscreen. The physical keyboard pairs with the iPhone4 in seconds via Bluetooth and prevents the virtual keypad from appearing, doubling the size of the viewable screen.
The landscape oriented QWERTY keyboard has a full row of numeric keys, arrow keys, and buttons that control the iPhone4’s Spotlight and home screen functions. The hard plastic case has a streamlined design that ensures it will remain unobtrusive in a pocket or in a hand and it leaves the camera lens, volume and power buttons, and access ports uncovered for instant accessibility.

How 3D Glasses Helped Win World War II
| May 15, 2011
3D glasses may not be the most obvious warfare tool. But that’s exactly what it took for the Allies of WWII to outwit Hitler.
A BBC documentary reveals how they used three-dimensional photos to stop Nazi weapons of mass destruction before they could bomb Britain. Dubbed Operation Crossbow, the mission entailed Spitfire pilots photographing battlefield Europe. The photos were then sent to the Royal Air Force (RAF) Medmenham in Buckinghamshire to make sense of the hidden clues. Hitler was heavily investing in his new V weapons in the hope they could win him the war. Fortunately, Medmenham had a secret weapon of its own, a simple stereoscope which brought to life a detailed picture of the enemy landscape based on the tens of million photos taken by pilots from Britain’s RAF Photographic Reconnaissance unit, generating 36 million prints.

Everybody seems to want to get their hands on a little gold in today’s economy, but what about their lips? Now there’s a cool way to do just that.
For those who can still afford it, the Marquis Los Cabos resort in Baja California Sur, Mexico is offering a $1,000 popsicle made from 24 ct. gold flakes and Tequilas Premium Clase Azul Ultra, which goes for $1,500 a bottle.
The icy treat is served poolside on a classic plastic stick and has a little sugar in it to take the edge off, though salt would seem to be more appropriate.
‘Trek’ tricorder could win $10 million
| May 15, 2011
A real-life diagnostic device that does something akin to what the tricorder did on “Star Trek” just might earn its developers $10 million prize. And yes, the proposed competition is actually being called the Tricorder X Prize. It’s just one more example of life imitating “Trek.” In the words of Mr. Spock: Fascinating!
