Camera inside in Human body's head??

A professor at the New York University in the photography and imaging department is going to undergo a surgery to implant a camera in the back of his head. I have heard students complaining about professors always watching them on during classes. I wonder how they feel about this.

This is being done for a project by a new museum in Qatar. The work is going to be a live steam of images from the camera to all museum visitors. The implanted camera will take pictures from the professor's head at one-minute intervals and then feed the photos electronically to the monitors at the museum.

I am sure if this technology works, they would also use this in lots of security places for constant surveillance.

Dell moving into smartphones market

The latest trend about cellphones is having a multitasking phone very similar to a fully functional computer. Most computer companies are now moving into the smart phones market. Dell recently plans to move to the windows phone 7 - Dell Venue Pro. According to Wall street journal, dell is in discussions with T-mobile to buy voice and data plans in bulk for the Venue Pro.

Dell claims to save money by their switch from the RIM Blackberry's to the venue pro and also has been convincing its business customers to switch to companies smart phones.

The competition in the smart phone market is going to get very intense with companies like not just Dell, but HP who bought Palm are also entering the market with a bang.

It would be interesting to know how the market plays. Will it be the most "Coolest" phone to survive or "Cheapest".

Google Chrome users pay less for Car Loans ??

Depending on the browser you use for loans on Capital One web site, it offers you different rates. Someone commented in The Consumerist report about how he got charged different rate when logged into different profiles. Firefox charged him 3.5%, Safari was 2.7% and Google chrome has like 2.3%.
I guess FireFox users get charged the most. It’s interesting to know how technology usage can give you cheaper loan rates simply by using a different Internet browser.
I know, for sure, I am using Google chrome for any kinds of loans I need for future.
