Weekend Tech In Review

Posted by Geezer as Cellphones, Engineering, Gadgets, Gaming, Science

Do you do Moto? Motorola, that is. Enjoying that Slvr L6 lately? Getting your daily dose of radiation? Erh? What?

Moto Slvr L6 Well, CNet is reporting that of all the cellphones in the United States, the top eight phones, as far as radiation goes, are Motorola phones. So go ahead kids, start bragging to your friends. Maybe you’ll be one of those X-Men mutants in need of a cure;-)

Just as you need to protect yourself from cell phone radiation, you may also need to protect your crotch from a motorcycle accident. Yamaha has unleashed an airbag for your crotch. Protect the family jewels at all costs.

Good news for those of you who follow developments in future energy technologies. For the first time ever, US farmers expect to sell as much corn for domestic ethanol production as they will sell overseas. Hey, I’m all for putting American money into American agriculture and technology instead of whacked out freaks in the Middle East. Let’s keep it going.

Speaking of energy. You want your home to become completely energy indpendent? Why not build your own wind turbine. I guess that’s not an option for most of us on the East Coast.

On the gaming front, make sure to check out this excellent article in the NY Times on Nintendo’s plan to make games simple and expand the gaming market. Sony, in the meantime continues to take the defensive posture and making completely absurd statements.

To finish things off, Gadzooki is a gadget blog, and as such we couldn’t overlook TechWeb’s Ultimate Summer Gadget Guide which included, among other things, a DLP projector for showing your own drive in movies outdoors! Now that kicks some major gadget ass.

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
