Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 Stands Above The Competition

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 is the heavyweight contender. As D-SLR prices continue to plummet, we should see amazing changes in the superzoom niche of the digital camera market.

With more and more compact, lower-priced models with up to 20X optical zoom lenses are hitting the shelves. You can get the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10 for a measly $299.99 direct, Sony's latest superzoom, the Cyber-shot DSC-H10, isn't expensive at all, and with 10X optical zoom, includes eight different scene modes, and you are able to preview ISO settings on the 3-inch LCD, the DSC-H10 brings you a full plate for the intermediate photographer.

MindMentor Robot Psychologist Cures Your Mind

MindMentor is here to save the day. People affected by emotional problems are often reluctant when they’re told to see a psychologist. Now, they can confidentially consult online MindMentor, the first robot shrink. It will cost them about $8.00 for one hour session. MindMentor was developed by two Dutch psychologists specialized in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

The system was tested on 1,600 ‘customers’ from ALL over the world and 47% of them said they were satisfied after only one session. I haven’t tested the system myself, but one thing is really interesting. Instead of looking at a database, MindMentor uses a personal process to discover the right solution for you.

Can an interactive session with an artificial intelligence robotic shrink be successful? The two psychologists think so. “Some psychologists thought it was impossible — and some still think so — but it actually works. People solve their problems and attain their life goals with MindMentor’s help. In 2006, Hollander and Wijnberg did a test-run with 1600 clients from all over the world. Results showed that MindMentor was able to solve the problems for 47% in just one session, a score that any real life psychologist would be proud of.”

Lori A. Walters a client and test subject said MindMentor helps you uncover unconscious knowledge. “Your unconscious mind is a warehouse full of useful knowledge. Through his colleague RoboRorschach, MindMentor helps you uncover information that you have on a deeper level. He shows you pictures and has you describe what you think and feel. First, this helps you understand some deeper aspects of your problem. Later on, this ‘projective work’ gives you a deeper understanding of the solution you have found.”

The MindMentor process takes about an hour, Many people think that MindMentor has a database with a list of problems and solutions. People think that when you enter your problem, MindMentor looks up the right solution from his list. But that’s not how he works. MindMentor guides you through a series of steps to help you find solutions within yourself. Psychologists have found that your own solutions are more effective than other people’s advice, no matter how well meant. MindMentor starts this process by asking you what problem you’d like to work on.

Pretty fascinating results of this gadget and for the price, who could not use an hour a day with a system that works.

Worlds Largest Undersea Robot

The UT-1 Ultra Trencher is the world’s biggest undersea robot. The UT-1 Ultra Trencher weighs 60 tons, has a length of 7.8 meters, a width of 7.8 meters and a height of 5.6 meters. In fact, it has the dimensions of a small house. It can move at a speed of 2 to 3 knots under the sea. And it can trench pipelines with a 1-meter diameter in deep waters of up to 1 mile deep.

This huge subsea robot has been built by Soil Machine Dynamics (SMD), a Newcastle upon Tyne company which develops specialized remote controlled submersible robots (ROVs).

Weighing 50 tonnes and the size of small house, it is designed to bury large diameter oil and gas pipelines laid on the ocean floor. It does this by ‘flying’ down up to a mile deep below the surface using powerful propellers. It then lands over the pipeline and deploys a pair of ‘jet swords’ either side of the pipe which inject high pressure water to ‘fluidise’ the surface. Burying the pipelines protects them from fishing, shipwrecks and natural currents. This enables oil and gas to be safely transported from the offshore fields to land to provide secure energy supplies.”

Now I would say thats quite a large robot.

InSkull Implant Ends Five Years Of Silence For Child

Kieran Jennings is five years old but as of this week he is hearing sounds for the first time in his life.

The plucky little guy was born deaf and had to use sign language to communicate with others. Now a special implant has been put into his skull and ear so he can join his brothers and sister and listen watch his favorite TV shows.

The results of the brain-ear implant have amazed his parents Tracy and Gary Thompson who are now looking forward to the day their little boy can say “mom” and “dad”.

Last month, Kieran underwent three hours of surgery to have a cochlear implant at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital. It is a small electronic device which provides the brain with electrical signals, giving the sensation of sound.

The implants replace the hairs in the inner ear that have been damaged. They are connected to a receiver, which is implanted into the skull behind the ear.

Dad Garry Jennings, 28, said: “They turned the implant on and they were tuning it. Kieran kept looking around as he was suddenly hearing things. Every time the technician changed the vibrations he was making a little noise.

After the operation Kieran had to wait a month until the implant could be turned on. The Doctors turned it on and Kieran started hearing his first sounds.

The Doctors said, he will have to wait for about six months until he can hear fully because his brain will have to learn to accept sounds.

Kieran has to carry a card with him, if he goes into a store, he can set the alarms off. And he has to switch it off when he is flying, at take-off and landing.”

This is a wonderful technology it looks like in the next decade we could have blindness and deafness both beat.

Cyborg Enables Color-Blind Artist To Paint In Color

EyeBorg transforms life and art for the severely colorblind.
One artist Neil Harbisson says the Eyeborg, which enables him to perceive color by sound, and to literally compose paintings.

Eyeborg is a camera and laptop design which uses different frequencies of sound to transform color in front of the head-mounted lens into sound, played back to Harbisson via an earpiece. Originally a six-color device, the Eyeborg has evolved to 360 colors, giving Harbisson a great range as an visual artist.

The EyeBorg was designed by cybernetics expert, Adam Montandon, at HMC Interactive. The cyborg-visual art collaboration began three years ago. Harbisson heard Montandon lecture at Dartington College of Arts in England, when a student went up to him and asked if the gadget could also be used for the colorblind so they could paint in color.
