Sensasell will design and produce various interactive objects that respond by using integrated sensors, and some of them have even been modified to look like a blown-up MP3 player that works, although it displays the various products in the store. You are able to scroll through the catalog by hovering your hand over the forward and backward buttons, definitely a winner when it comes to keeping kids starstruck and open-jawed while mom continues with her grocery shopping. /p pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/sensasell_modular_sensor_surface.html"Sensasell Modular Sensor Surface/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081201195000" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081201195000?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081201195000" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081201195000amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fsensasell_modular_sensor_surface.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/4Sgza8iUqdOV56X_PwIOkJkB-tI/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/4Sgza8iUqdOV56X_PwIOkJkB-tI/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=CaUTWna9"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=QSxsuriD"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=QSxsuriD" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=snQqua6B"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=yU1TXUTI"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=yU1TXUTI" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=L37FZssE"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=L37FZssE" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/I32OxQVAFRs" height="1" width="1"/

Okay... I'm getting an iPod for Christmas (which may be soon, or not soon in your opinion) and I don't know well.. what to do with it yet. I already downloaded iTunes and got.. one song. It's going to be a 8GB because I don't listen to 1000 songs like most of you. I want to Jailbreak it, but what firmware version is the best to run iPod on? And, for the version, what Jailbreaking software/website do you suggest and does it have a high rate of breaking my iPod?

It's probably going to be a First Generation iPod because my mom is pretty cheap... and I do not have a job yet because I have to play the cello for long amounts of the day due to the fact my... mother... is... cheap... and will not send me to college without a scholarship lol.

Oh, and, what apps do you suggest to get from the App Store and after it (if it does) gets Jailbroken.

pWhat if sideline rage could be nipped in the bud with a quick genetic test that told Mom and Dad what sports ndash; if any ndash; Junior could master? The Boulder, Colo., company Atlas Sports Genetics today began selling just that sort of product: for $149, it says it will screen for variants of the gene ACTN3, which in elite-level athletes is associated with the presence of the muscle protein alpha-actinin-3. The protein helps muscles contract powerfully at high speeds, which may explain why the combination of ACTN3 variants that produce it has been found in Olympic sprinters. a href=http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=genes-sports-talent[More]/a

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/iphone_and_pc.jpg"It seems we're approaching a new age here on the Internet. Instead being anonymous, faceless IP addresses, social computing and changing technologies have allowed the lines between the "real" world and the "virtual" world to blur. Web 2.0 helped create a world where your identity is revealed in bits and pieces as you share snippets of your life online - a photo here, a Stumble there, a tweet, a Digg, etc. However, the rise of social media is only one of the changes that is busy shaping the new web. /p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12762amp;cb=12762' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12762amp;n=12762' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p pOn tomorrow's web, we're no longer going to be anonymous. In fact, one can argue that we're no longer anonymous today, but that's not entirely true. We're still hearing of people hijacking people's names and brands on social networking sites like a href="http://twitter.com"Twitter/a, for example, and any MySpace search for a famous celebrity will return hundreds of results purporting to be the "official" page for that person. But those days of "faking it" may be fading fast. /p h2Being "Fake" Is Now A Crime/h2 pA precedent-setting case, the Lori Drew MySpace trial, has just come to an end. If you're unfamiliar, this was a case where an overprotective mom established a fake online identity to bully her daughter's rival. The judge's ruling has now criminalized the act of creating a fake persona online. In the case of Drew, most would agree she deserves the punishment she received. However, the aftershocks of the ruling could very well impact the online identity creation process for years to come if it's not overturned. /p h2Authenticating The "Real" You/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/f8_image1.jpg" align="right"To address the needs of sites wanting weed out fake personas, users will have to be authenticated in new ways. Here, companies like Facebook, Google, and others are already in position to offer a solution for making sure people are who they say they are. a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_connect_readies.php"Facebook Connect/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_friend_connect_manages.php"Google Friend Connect/a, and a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_opens_yos_to_developers.php"Yahoo's Open Strategy/a, have all been busy trying to grab land on the new frontier of identity management. All of them want to be your de facto online identity provider. /p pNo matter who wins, though, it's emanonymity/em that loses. For the sites that move to these types of authentication methods, no longer will their users be able to create disposable usernames and passwords so they can troll around harassing others and leaving juvenile comments. Instead, all participants are themselves online#160; - and subject to the same standards for behavior that you would expect to see if you encountered them in a real-life public situation. /p h2The Psychological Impacts Of One Identity /h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/selector-example3d.gif" align="left"Even the utopian plans of a href="http://openid.net/"OpenID/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/myspace_aims_to_win_developers.php"which MySpace pledged to support/a, is being embraced by other big names like a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_is_now_an_openid_provider.php"Google/a, a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/microsoft_windows_live_openid.php"Microsoft/a, Yahoo, and a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/barack_obamas_changegov_adds_o.php"even President-Elect Obama/a. With this federated identity, one set of credentials can follow you around the net, providing access to hundreds of sites. Although everyday computer users may not understand the technicalities of OpenID, the psychological impact will become apparent. /p pTo the technically unsophisticated, the concept that you are emone/em set of credentials, emone/em username, emone/em person across numerous sites will start people thinking that their activities can be traced, that they are not as emanonymous/em as before...regardless as to whether or not that is true. /p h2The User Data Overlords/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/security-cameras.jpg" align="right"Finally, there is Google, the company we joke around as being "our new overlords." The reality is that we have, in fact, turned over vast amounts of our personal identity to this company in exchange for free webmail with pretty themes, snappy web browsing experiences, free analytics tools, more. As Allen Stern noted this weekend, "a href="http://www.centernetworks.com/google-online-privacy"Google Knows Where I Am and Everything I Do/a." em(If you want to jump even deeper down that rabbit hole, take a closer look at /ema href="http://www.slightlyshadyseo.com/index.php/googles-user-data-empire/"emGoogle's User Data Empire/em/aem).#160; /em/p pThe terrifying vision of our future that Orwell imagined in his masterpiece, a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four"1984/a, has been surpassed by miles. Big Brother staring at us through TV screens is nothing - instead, we've managed to create a world where we blindly, willingly, hand over our data and personal identities to a publicly traded company because they promised us they were trustworthy. And like a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine"the Eloi people in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine/a, everything we need is provided to us - up until the time we become the dinner for the evils that lurk just below the surface. /p h2Struggling To Adapt/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/facebook_wand.jpg" align="right"In many ways, our society will struggle to adapt to the changes imposed by the lack of anonymity. Those embarrassing Facebook photos you got tagged in this weekend could lose you your job and prevent you from getting a new one. But how can we draw the line between what's public and private when so many of us have already decided that it's socially acceptable to shove cameras and video recorders in people's faces (without asking!) and publish the captured images to the net immediately? /p pThe only way to prevent reputations from being damaged in the process is to always "be on your best behavior" in public. Frankly, that's no fun. No more wild boys nights out? No more getting silly and stupid with your friends? No - not unless you're willing to live with the consequences of having it plastered online in the morning. /p pWhen we reach the point where online anonymity has ended, instead of getting to be who we really are, the fact that we've become so aware of the fact that we're always being recorded, photographed, tracked, and traced, will have actually created a slightly altered personality instead. Like reality TV show contestants, the act of being observed will change our behavior. Our personal brand image will become our public identity and therefore our identity. /p h2Not All Bad, Just Different/h2 pThe truth is, giving up our online anonymity may not be all bad - we'll have a convenient, portable friend graph, for example. We can burn our notebook filled with our usernames and passwords. Our search data will be easily accessible from one place. But for the convenience of a simple login, searchable personal data and web history, and social networks filled with friends, we'll have exchanged a bit of who we are in the process. We'll pay for our services on the new internet with our identity and personal information. When the companies we sold ourselves to use it for their own benefits, our outrage will come too late. We'll only have ourselves to blame. /p pemImage credit: iPhone with transparent screen, /ema href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16189770@N00/1526393678/"emedans/em/a/p stronga href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_end_of_online_anonymity.php#comments-open"Discuss/a/strong pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Rb6Js6_dkLIoDnGgeF8kMLrspdM/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/Rb6Js6_dkLIoDnGgeF8kMLrspdM/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=6PnLJzLz"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1035" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=e294Dj6d"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=o1vFSWS5"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=o1vFSWS5" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=uJqMQd1P"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=uJqMQd1P" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=5lNZuiR4"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?i=5lNZuiR4" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=J83R7kz9"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?a=hQrU55RW"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/readwriteweb?d=1034" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/readwriteweb/~4/iNWiiSTGLxo" height="1" width="1"/

My mom actually sent me this link to an iPhone cover made for blind people. While regular, non-touch screen cell phones can be easily used by the visually impaired, up until now, the iPhone was unusable by the blind. While this design is cool, my mom is probably just hinting at what she wants for Christmas.

Here are a few photos of supermodel/new hot mom, Alessandra Ambrosio, backstage at the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Sure there are only a handful of shots, but seeing Alessandra prance around candidly in sexy lingerie is definitely hot enough to kick things off this frigid Monday morning, wouldn’t you say? But just in case they aren’t enough, I posted a few extra galleries of this scorching hottie to completely melt you. Enjoy.

Using a clever advertising strategy, Nintendo will allow you to make a personalized wish list to your folks, family or friends from Mario. It only takes a couple of minutes to fill in the personal information, the holiday you are shopping for, the color of the Nintendo DS and 3 games you want. You can preview your message and send it by phone or email. We tried to set one up with the simple name of Mom and were told that was too difficult to pronounce. We just hope your name isn’t Poindexter.
