The claim that there is an iPhone app for everything has now been proved to be true, with the Cry Translator iPhone app. What this app does is translate a babie’s cry into what might be real words. This can let the parents know what the baby wants (for new parents, I guess). The iPhone app can recognize whether your baby is hungry, sleepy, bored, annoyed or stressed. More »


The Minority Report is coming to life through this new development in Sixth Sense technology by TED. The setup for this includes a mini projector that has a camera and a cellphone attached to it (gives you the talking part of it all). The Internet is the other part, the main point of connection, connecting you to other things besides other phone numbers. When all of this is put together with the rest of the device, it accepts hand gestures as well. At this point in the project, the Sixth Sense technology is being used on a very small scale, since it is still in its developmental stage. Check out the video of the Sixth Sense tech. More »

From Wirebot:

In this world, there are two types of people: Those who are a one partner kind of person and those who like to date around. There are pros and cons to both types, the first leaving you with a sense of pride and allegiance and the other just being more fun, although a bit dirty. I mean granted, even if you are one to date around, you could still end up falling for one harder than the others. Same goes for being tied to one lover; You’re still going to be tempted by the fruits of another.

No, you are not reading a dating advice site, this is still Wirebot. My question is, who said a lover or a partner had to be human? I know my Xbox gets more go time than anything else in my life, if you know what i mean. More »
