It has collaborated with seven APEC economies – Chile, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines since its inception. In the second phase of the project, ADOC asked for the support of private companies, like ASUS, to help gather resources.

Toyota Develops Thought Controlled Wheelchair

Toyota has recently previewed a thought controlled wheelchair that monitors brain activity 125 milliseconds which prevents any lags. Stephen Hawking would love to get his ass on one of these.

According to The Christian Science Monitor:
"After training three hours a day for a week, the system is able to tailor its responses to a user’s tendencies. Imagine a hand or foot movement while wearing the cap, and the system triggers the corresponding response from the chair. Toyota claims up to 95 percent accuracy. As a failsafe, the user can puff out a cheek, triggering a sensor and stopping the chair."

The system would certainly help handicapped people and would spark innovations because of its universal applications.

Free Nokia 5800 Apps

Ever since I got my 5800 I have been scouring the web for Symbian Series 60 V5 applications. The funny thing is I found these nifty apps from different Nokia sites. The thing is different countries have different apps for you to download. I found 2 countries that offer free full applications Nokia India and Hong Kong. Links and details after the break.


Nokia India here
Nokia Hong Kong here

The applications and games here are free so grab them until you can!

SMS Timer-SMS Timer allows you to schedule SMS/MMS messages to be sent on a future date and time. The application functions exactly like the standard messaging application allowing you to define multiple recipients.

Smart Guard- Smart Guard protects all your private information (e.g. Messages, Contacts, Videos, Pictures etc.) both on the phone's internal memory and on the memory card. Thus it is visible only to the one who holds the passcode.

Marble Maze- Marble Maze is a labyrinth game that utilizes the orientation sensor built inside the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. In this game you control a ball in a labyrinth by tilting the device in your hands and lead the ball into a goal.

Wave Secure- The ultimate security application for your phone. It not only helps you track the lost phone but also ensures full security of the data on the device.

Touch Card Match- The classic 'Card Memory' game, but with a difference. This version has a superb audio visual interface with engaging graphics and touch control.

Touch Maneuver- Let the kid in you bounce back in action. 'Touch Maneuver', the virtual version of the classic 'Don't touch the wire game' makes you hold your breath as you aim to control a ring on a virtual path without grazing the track, just with a touch of your finger.

Easy Reject- Always wanted to keep those unwanted calls and messages at bay? 'Easy Reject', the smart auto-reject tool is at your rescue. Reject calls with a busy tone. Get messages filtered silently to view and restore them later.

Cricket Widget- It's time to put an end to the woes of seeking information on your favourite sport. Keep yourself updated with the latest on Cricket. The Cric Info Widget brings to you real time ball by ball update of matches being played. Not only that, you can also check the Match Summary & Scorecard and brag about your knowledge on Cricket.

My Ringtone- It's time to put an end to the woes of seeking information on your favourite sport. Keep yourself updated with the latest on Cricket.

Mobile Messenger

My phone gave up on me! Drat what a disaster. I was forced to buy a new one. I got a Nokia 5800. Why? Beats me! I sometimes just buy stuff. Ummm I'd rather not talk about that but what is good about the Nokia 5800 is that it has wifi! And this app is the first thing that I put in it. Fring is one of the best messenger app for any phone OS. Heck! If the phone can support java I think they have support for it. Fring supports YM, AIM and other major instant messengers. Skype is also supported.

According to the site:
Using your handset′s internet connection, you can interact with friends on all your favourite social networks including Skype®, MSN Messenger®, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®. You can listen to music with your Last.fm friends, check out what each other are up to on Facebook, receive alerts of new Google Mail™ and tailor make your very own fring by adding more cool experiences from fringAdd-ons™.

The app is really nice and has an integrated GUI which really simplifies an IM lover's life. Download Fring here

You Can Learn Poker Anywhere.....

I was born a gambler, yup I admit it! I find ways to incorporate gambling into my way of life whether be it a wager or just taking risks but hey who doesn't? A few of my friends was drinking and playing poker when he said something that I never really forgot it goes something like this: " It takes a few hours to learn Poker and a lifetime to master it". It was really true.

Now the world of online poker is new to me and it may be true to millions of poker fanatics. Browsing around online, you can see a lot of online tutorials that will teach you how to ace in poker. Online Poker Rooms is one of them.

What I like about online poker tutors is that they have a comprehensive guide to make you an online poker hustler. They have the basic guidelines from different kinds of poker games. Strategies for Texas Holdem, Omaha and 7 Card Stud Poker are covered.

More of an expert? Well advanced strategies are also handled from odds to reading your opponents card are covered and pretty much useful. There is also a feature that gives you the opportunity to ask a poker expert anything poker related. What I love about Online Poker Rooms is that they have bluffing tips. I love those kinds of tips because in gambling, I really love to bluff and it gives you tips when and where to bluff.

Once you visit this site you can have the skills and knowledge to enter the world of online poker and reap its rewards. The site also has a list of online poker sites that can give you the start-up to earn money via online poker. The site is highly recommended to any age group or level of skill. Heck visiting it makes me want to enter the fray!

The New Ipod Shuffle is Button-less

The new Ipod Shuffle has moved its button controls to its earbuds. Yup the Ipod for the budget-conscious has absolutely no buttons but there is still the token hold switch on top. If you are a doubter and says: " I have an old shuffle why the heck would I buy this?", you might try and think twice because the new shuffle has one kick ass feature that solves the problems of a missing lcd screen. What is it? It has a text to speech feature called "Voice Over" which basically tells who is performing what song and tells the songs on your playlist.

And They Let Us Buy Alcohol Only When We Are 18

Glen gave me a heads up of this yesterday. Just when you thought that kids will always be kids you'll get hit by surprises like this.(click link below for story)


Alfie Patten is just 13 years old barely in his pubescence but have conceived a child with 15 year old Chantelle Steadman. This has caused an uproar worldwide especially the question of whether little Alfie is indeed the father of Maisie Roxanne.

Sister Talks

According to Alfie's step sister: “If it wasn’t for him, Alfie wouldn’t be in this situation. When Dad left it tore the family to pieces." (This in reference to the departure of their father for a 19-year-old friend of his stepdaughter)

"He’s good around kids and he always used to try and help out." She also said in a positive light.

Well as long as they be responsible parents and be a positive role model to their baby I'm all for it(if the story is indeed true).

New Simpsons Opening Clip

Who does not love the Simpsons? If you don't I hate you man! The animated series has been going for more 20 or so years now and it does not show signs of faltering. To go with the changing times(and the mandated change to digital signals) the show is now on high def! To blend with high def, the opening sequence has been changed and it was a great change. They have added and updated the characters shown in the sequence from the Comic Book Guy to Apu's octuplets. This has been a welcome change for the Simpsons fan in all of us(most of it is just me, heck I even bought the Simpson's album during the 90s).
