Exmovere shows off Exmobaby biosensor pajamas for babies, coming to retail in 2011

August 31, 2010 IT News No Comments

Baby monitors have become quite commonplace over the past 20 years or so, and come in many variations. Exmovere (a company that previously produced the wearable Chariot ) has debuted a new type of monitor, however, which are actually part of the baby’s pajamas, and which are said to help monitor heart rate, emotional state and behavior. The outift — called Exmobaby — uses the Zigbee wireless standard, effectively connecting the baby to the home wireless network, enabling the parents (or you know, whoever’s around) to track the babies various states via icons on their mobile phones

Commodore USA to relaunch Amiga brand with series of AROS desktops

August 31, 2010 IT News No Comments

Barry’s back, kids! The CEO of Commodore USA just informed us that, in addition to slapping Commodore stickers on various all-in-one PCs, he has acquired the rights to the Amiga name (we only hope that the process went a little smoother this time around). The plan is to sell machines that fully support AROS — an open source variant of AmigaOS 3.1 that the kids seem to go crazy for.

The Big Data Explosion and the Demand for the Statistical Tools to Analyze It

August 31, 2010 NET News No Comments

If The Graduate were remade today, the advice to young Benjamin Braddock might be “just one word… statistics.” The explosion of digital data has generated a need for technology to store, serve, and analyze petabytes of data.

Businessweek says new Apple TV to include Netflix streaming, WSJ says 99-cent TV rentals from Fox and ABC

August 31, 2010 IT News No Comments

Well here’s an interesting wrinkle to the next-gen iOS-based Apple TV rumors in the leadup to tomorrow’s event : Bloomberg Businessweek says the new box will offer Netflix streaming, presumably in addition to whatever cheap TV content deals Apple’s planning to offer through iTunes. That would be a first of sorts for Apple; although Netflix has apps for the iPhone and iPad , Steve Jobs isn’t exactly in the habit of preloading services that compete with iTunes. That said, Netflix does have critical mass, and it makes a certain amount of sense for Apple to try and leverage that subscriber base to generate momentum for its own product — a lot of people might buy a $99 Apple TV just for Netflix and wind up hooked on Apple’s other offerings like apps, movie rentals, and purchased content.

Sea Creatures Hint at Recent Trans-Antarctic Seaway

August 31, 2010 NET News No Comments

The discovery of nearly identical sea creatures on either side of a now-solid Antarctic ice sheet — 1,500 miles wide and over a mile thick — points to an open ocean passage there as recently as 125,000 years ago. The new evidence adds to geologic clues indicating the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has collapsed at least once in the last million years, and could do so again in a warmer climate. The complete collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would raise global sea level by 11 to 16 feet.

News Corp reportedly holding back iTunes rentals

August 31, 2010 Apple World No Comments

With all of the speculation flying around about tomorrow, a few people are poopooing any idea that Apple will mention the iTV at all. The invitation doesn’t say anything about it being “show time.” Images like the guitar are usually reserved for iLife and the iPod , and it’s unlikely that Apple will put a brand new iTV into that somewhat crowded mix.

iTunes Features Location Apps with New "On the Grid" Section

August 31, 2010 NET News No Comments

When social networking behemoth Facebook launched its foray into the location game with Places, some declared that apps like Foursquare and Gowalla would be rendered obsolete. The result, so far, has been quite the contrary, as the megaphone of Facebook has helped spread the word about location apps to the laypeople. Today, the mobile location app market got another big boost as iTunes launched “On the Grid,” (iTunes Link) a special showcase featuring geosocial iOS apps on the front page of the App Store.

BeamAtic Premium headlights let you keep you high beams on all night long

August 31, 2010 IT News No Comments

It looks like the highways of Japan could soon get a bit brighter — at least if these new BeamAtic Premium head lights from Ichikoh Industries ever catch on. Developed by France’s Valeo SA, the headlights make use of an on-board camera and some image processing software that tracks oncoming vehicles, and some movable dousers attached to the headlights that are able to deflect the light so it doesn’t bother other drivers; the idea there being that you could simply leave your high beams on all the time without worrying about blinding anyone. No word on any plans for a release over here, but you’ll apparently be able to get them in Japan next month, and the company is also reportedly looking to talk some Japanese automakers into offering them as a factory-installed option
