Couples With Math Skills End Up Wealthier

Researchers found that when both spouses correctly answered three math questions, family wealth averaged $1.7 million. That compared with $200,000 for households where neither spouse answered any question correctly.

Designing the smallest legible screen font

Legibility, of course, is a matter of degree, but given that NYU computer science professor Ken Perlin’s tiny font can fit 500 words into a 320 x 240 pixel rectangle, I am surprised at how readable it remains. “My design,” he explains, “assumes that screen pixels are horizontal striped as RGBRGB, as are most LCD screens these days.”

iHome Apple iPad Speaker Dock Alarm

This is the only docking station that transforms an iPad into a versatile bedside alarm clock. An app lets users wake to the music they prefer at snooze intervals from 1-29 minutes–played through the dock’s built-in speakers–while displaying weather reports, personal reminders, and overnight updates from Facebook and Twitter. If the app isn’t running, the dock’s failover alarm ensures you’re still awakened on schedule.

A digital signal processor and an equalizer produce exceptionally full, rich audio from your iPad or the dock’s FM radio with 10 pre-sets. The dock also functions as a wireless speakerphone when paired with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and it holds and charges most iPhones and iPods.

Snails on Meth

Snails on speed don’t get speedier—but their supercharged brains do learn better and make memories that last much longer, a new study says.

Scientists gave pond snails the amphetamine crystal meth to explore the memory-related brain processes that get humans so hooked on the drug.

Oakley – Video Recording Sunglasses

These are the glasses with a built-in video camera that allow you to discreetly record all that you see. The 0.3 megapixel pinhole camera is located in the bridge, providing 320 x 240 high-quality resolution for AVI videos.

Up to 2 1/2 hours of videos can be recorded directly onto the built-in 2 GB memory. The left temple’s frame houses a slot that accommodates a microSD card for additional memory storage. Videos can be copied to a computer running Windows XP/Vista using the built-in USB port and included cable. You can also download MP3s to the glasses and listen to them using the included earbuds.
