How to Improve Your Memory
How to Improve Your Memory: "Wouldn’t it be nice to just look at a page and never forget what was on there? What if you could never again forget a friend’s birthday? The bad news is, almost all scientific experts agree that photographic memory—the ability to recall facts, images, and events perfectly—simply doesn’t exist. The good news, however, is that everyone can take steps to improve their memory, and with time and practice most people can gain the ability to memorize seemingly impossible amounts of information. Whether you want to win the World Memory Championships, ace your history test, or simply remember where you put your keys, this article can get you started."

Képet, zenét és videót is tárolhat a HP rizsszemnyi memóriachipje - 12:48: "Képzeljük el a jövőt: hozzáérintjük a kezünkben tartott fényképet a noteszgépünk érzékelőjéhez, mire egy hangos emlékeztető, vagy egy kis helyszínen készített videoklip jelenik meg a képernyőn. A kezünkben tartott, kinyomtatott dokumentum sarkához hozzáérintjük tenyérgépünket, mire a szöveg elektromos változata egy szempillantás alatt megjelenik a kijelzőn"

USB Wireless PC Lock keeps prying eyes away
USB Wireless PC Lock keeps prying eyes away: "Every office has at least one person who loves to snoop around, checking everybody's private files out when the owner is absent from his/her desk. The USB Wireless PC Lock takes care of that problem by locking up the PC automatically whenever you are not around. The receiver is plugged into the PC's USB port, while you carry the transmitter with you. Whenever the receiver detects that the transmitter is over a couple of metres away, the computer will be locked automatically. Returning within the receiver's safe range will unlock the PC or activate the password retrieve screen, depending on your preference. The 3V DC battery has a battery life of 2000 hours.
