Non-smoking areas are on the uprise, which is nice for the general
public and their lungs, but pretty upsetting for the smokers out there.
Well for the smokers, though I don't personally smoke or condone it,
I'd like to address the fact that help has arrived. You can now suck
away on your cigarette anywhere, anytime.
This smokeless cigarette, the Crown7, is shaped like your average
cigar.

I'll take the responsibility of announcing
free unlocking software for the Apple iPhone. We'd heard stories of kids who can unlock the iPhone using their dark gifts, but where does that leave the general public? Stuck in a service agreement, that's where.
Yes, Steve Jobs may have gotten word and pitied all of the early iPhone buyers. Yes, he may have
given them all $100 back to console their empty wallets.

It may not be your typical "gadget", per se, but this new chewing gum is worth a quick look. Just as the title indicates, it is non-stick gum, specifically. This doesn't mean that the gum is in some form other than the stick shape, but rather, it won't adhere to anything. For example, how many times have you walked the city streets just to step into a big, pink gum wad?
So who's behind all this? A guy by the name of Professor Terence Cosgrove, a British chemist. Professor Cosgrove's company has apparently made a cheap polymer which will make the resulting gum hydrophilic.

You knew it was coming; the new suite of drool-worthy Apple iPods have arrived, and they are looking spiffy as ever. Of course, there's plenty of things I'm not so fond of to balance out the good. With that, let us dive into a brief analysis of the new iPods.
We'll start with the smallest, and the least exciting: The iPod Shuffle. There isn't a whole lot to be said here; the Shuffle's previous design was simple, and there's hardly anything to redesign.

In this past week a 17 year old boy from New Jersey, George Hotz, has managed to unlock his iPhone to work on other carriers such as TMobile, and other various GSM service providers here in the US. This unlocking though is not for the feint of heart, or most people for that matter. Hotz says that the task currently requires about 2 hours of work and the ability to solder well and certain knowledge about programming also.

Have you ever noticed that after long car rides or flights, listening to your MP3 player, your ears are sore? Well, to be exact, it's your ear drums that are tired. Another downside to tradition ear or headphones is that you often find yourself taking them off to hear what others have to say to you. Now, with the new, revolutionary technology of the Vonia EZ-4200P Bone Conduction Headphone, you can wave goodbye to those problems.

You've seen 'em in all of your favorite sci-fi movies, and now they're here; that's right, hoverboards. You're going to have to be truly dedicated to your passion of hoverboards and the concept, because we aren't quite to flying cars or any fast transportation of that nature. Nonetheless, rejoice.
So who do we have to thank for this long-awaited geek fantasy made real? None other than Future Horizons and Alura Intelligent Products.

Lenovo and Novell have announced a recent agreement to preload some Thinkpads with Linux while Lenovo will provide user support for the operating system. Which is actually new to Lenovo as they previously did not offer any support for Windows when that was loaded on their devices.
Lenovo will be using SUSE Linux 10 for their T models near the end of this year.

You've seen it in books, TV, and movies for decades. One of the biggest tricks of every magician, and one of the trickiest problems for scientists to solve; levitation. Our intelligent scientists, as well as the ones who probably never sleep, have discovered the theory of levitation. In fact, these are the same guys that suggested the idea of an 'invisibility cloak' (Harry Potter, anyone?) is actually a possibility.

As if being forced to play Dance Dance Revolution with your friends isn't bad enough, being
really bad at Dance Dance Revolution
might be worse. Your feet are tired. Your legs are stiff. All of that stomping and twisting has made you sore. Well, now you are already into the game. You are starting to think, "Hey, the DDR Game is actually pretty darn cool. I wish there was a way to play at my computer." Then the thought of you jumping up and down with your CPU just feet away changes your mind.
