Certains s'ingénient à inventer des gadgets de plus en plus emmerdifiants, ce qui me déprime sérieusement. Sensible à mon profond désarroi, Hydergine m'envoie aujourd'hui par mail, une pub pour une invention que je trouve plutôt intéressante.

Did you ever think that a tree could survive in the hot Sahara Desert for a few months on its own?
It’s not very likely since there is little or no rainfall to keep it alive, but a new Dutch invention that looks like a bucket from outer space might just make plant survival in any type of condition possible.
It’s called the WaterBoxx (not to be confused with Outkast’s album Speake

Malcolm Gladwell (smart guy, puffy hair) has a feature in this week's
The New Yorker about the history of simultaneous invention, the best example being Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray both patenting the telephone on the same day. There are many other examples, leading to the conclusion that "scientific discoveries must, in some sense, be inevitable. They must be in the air, products of the intellectual climate of a specific time and place." The story is put into modern perspective by including scenes drawn from meetings of members of the company called Intellectual Ventures. The founding member, Nathan Myhrvold, also founded Microsoft's R&D labs. His idea for IV was to see if "the kind of insight that leads to invention could be engineered." The whole point being the creation of

Creating and licensing an invention is a quest that many inventors embark upon, but few actually succeed at.

If you are the kind of person with a million ideas and not enough time to pursue them, you might want to consider “fast tracking” your invention to market.

Celebrating the Alexander Graham Bell's birthday (3 March 1847 – 2 August 1922), we dedicate the following jokes in his memory :Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone,"Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?""Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."One night, Jim and Betty were fast asleep when all of a sudden the phone rings.

Over a century now, business entities have made every possible effort to demonstrate technological breakthroughs in their respective logos. Compaq did it by revamping its old logo to a more modern and futuristic design to compliment its innovative, hi-tech nature. Fiat followed the trend and changed its existing logo with a "modern modification' to adorn its new range of cars.
Last week our choice was a bunch of excellent logos depicting technology, innovation and invention - comprising of IBM logo, Intel logo, Microsoft logo, Apple logo, HP logo and Oracle logo.
Well, the results are in and Apple logo emerged as the poll's winner with 56% of total votes. Second in line is the IBM logo with 16% of votes, followed by Intel logo with 13% votes. There was a tie between Microsoft and Oracle logos, each getting 6% of total votes. And HP logo came last with just 3% votes (boOoOo!).
Apple logo expresses the technological breakthroughs of the company with its modern, friendly and ap
How many times have you watched a commercial for a new toy or a new tool and thought, "That was my idea!"? They say that great minds think alike, so it's no real surprise that simultaneous discovery is very common in the inventing world. Inventors have a knack for recognizing problems and developing solutions, but what happens when two inventors come up with the same solution to the same problem? The answer is, sometimes, a feud.
It's all over the net here, here, and here, and everywhere else. Amazon has released probably the only e-reader that has the potential to take off. While I am very interested in this product, I can tell you now that I'll never buy it. We'll get to that in a minute. Now, the Kindle is a rather remarkable little tool. It's better than some of the other readers because it looks easier to navigate, is not too complicated, and has a lot of features. I'm not going to get into the details of what it can do. If you want details read the links that I've given. If any reader to date has the potential to make e-reading a market-holding fad, it's the Kindle. But, like Sony's reader, this too has a high likelihood to flop. Why? Because it's $399 USD. That's 193 British Pounds, 270 Euros, or 393 Canadian...err bills (sorry, I don't know exactly what you guys call it over there). The Kindle is currently only a
Today’s task to write about is what invention would you want to see most in the future? For me it would have to be Free Broadband!

My Favorite Invention from my childhood: The Internet
The Internet was created back in 1983, seven years before I was born! Growing up I always had access to the internet and it consumed vast amounts of my time, starting with “The Computer Training Center” in Thurles, Co. Tipperary that was run by my mother. Obviously I have more than surpassed the old PITMAN qualification. The Internet has to be my favorite invention and even today it still is!
One billion people use the regularly use the internet, from its origins as ARPAnet [Advanced Research Projects Agency network), a US military network it is now a worldwide communication and money making device. The first use of TCP/IP happened in 1983. The Internet is basically a worldwide, publically accessible series of interconnected computer networks! Of course where would the internet be
Frank Zappa 1940. december 21-én Baltimore-ban született második generációs bevándorló család gyermekeként. Szicíliai, görög, arab és francia vér keringett ereiben. Eleinte dobolt, majd érdeklődése az elektromos gitár hangzása felé fordult, de a bonyolult ritmusok iránti szeretete élete végéig elkisérte. Zenekarának, a Mothers Of Invention-nak ez a harmadik nagylemeze, melyet többen korszakalkotónak minősítenek. A lemez a hippikultúra paródiája, s a felszínes amerikai élet szatírája. Egész életében kisérletező kedvű polgárpukkasztó, a kereskedelmi zenétől elhatárolódó független egyéniség és a rockélet meghatározó személyisége volt.1993. december 4-én hunyt el.A lemezen hallható felvételek:1.

Choosing Time Magazine’s invention of the year isn’t always an easy task — I know because I had to do it more than once. But this year, in my humble opinion, the decision was a no-brainer. Lev Grossman, who reviewed Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone for Time when it came out in June, edited the Inventions section and wrote the lead story, which I’ve reproduced in full below (Time is Fortune’s sister publication and Lev is a friend). To see the rest of the selections, you can go to TIME.com. Or you can buy the magazine.
Invention of the Year: The iPhone
By Lev Grossman
Stop. I mean, don’t stop reading this, but stop thinking what you’re about to think. Or, O.K., I’ll think it for you:
The thing is hard to type on. It’s too slow. It’s too big. It doesn’t have instant messaging. It’s too expensive. (Or, no, wait, it’s too cheap!) It doesn’t support my work e-mail. It’s locked to AT&T. Steve Jobs secretly hates puppies. And—all together now—we’re sick of
When I first saw the title of this article, I took a minute to think about the great inventions of this year. There are lots out there and if we consider the year of the invention as the year where the device starts operations, I would choose the A380.
Now take a moment to think about what you’d consider to be the invention of the year. Once you do that, check out the Invention of the year according to Time.
Did you expect this? It might be obvious to many but I still can’t help and think that this is the invention of the year.
I might just end up with it at the end of the day .
