<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">While surfing the internet I stumbled on
this article. Whenever bacteria is being mentioned  the first thing that subconsciously come to
our minds is sickness, diseases ,infections bla ,bla,bla .But indeed I was surprised
at what these bacterial can do a bacteria powered lamp  designed by a Dutch called </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Teresa

glowing bacteria extracted from an octopus.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

world to lower electricity bills it will need perfecting: the <b><a href="http://teresavandongen.com/Ambio"><span style="color: windowtext;">Ambio

order to prompt their bioluminescence, which creates a soft blue glow.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

pendulum-like lamp which needs to be rocked by hand occasionally, and will then
glow for several minutes. The glass vial containing the bacteria also has a
breather hole to allow oxygen in, a vital feature to prevent the tiny bacterium
from suffocating.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

photobacterium isolated from octopi and suspended in an “artificial seawater
medium" – keep dying after a few days.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

pleasing glow unlike any electric lamp, thanks to the bacteria that is similar
to those found in shallow water next to beaches around the UK.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

late 80s, Apple launched the Newton PDA. In total the project cost Apple $100m
but this was never rewarded with strong sales. In the end the project was cut,
to be revived in spirit - if not hardware or software - when the iPhone and
iPad emerged many years later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in 1999, ahead of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox that it was going head-to-head
with. But the might of Sony's marketing machine meant that it never made much
headway. Even several price cuts didn't help. It was eventually cancelled and
Sega has never made another console to this day.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

that the public knew was the codename, Ginger, and that Steve Jobs thought it
was "as big a deal as the PC". When a self- balancing, two-wheeled
vehicle was released it was met with curious interest, until people realised
how expensive they were. Regulatory issues proved to be another nail in the
coffin. In the UK they're unlawful to use anywhere except private property: you
can't take them on the pavements or the roads. Today they're used for
sightseeing tours and little else.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Segway came the Sinclair C5, designed as a revolutionary new vehicle for a
congested island. However, it's low top speed, short range, lack of weather
protection and low height which proved intimidating in traffic, meant that it
was received rather poorly when it launched in 1985.</span></div>

early-morning iPhone alarm clocks wake up calls … or just a way to torture
yourself on a wet weekday morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify;">

that plugs into the headphone jack and emits the sound and smell of bacon
sizzling in the pan on demand to rouse the slumbering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify;">

never get tired of bacon,” said Oscar Mayer’s senior director of marketing and
advertising Tom Bick. “Oscar Mayer is thrilled to bring the first-ever
bacon-scented mobile device to market, giving bacon aficionados a new reason to
welcome their morning alarm clocks.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bacon-technology blending, but sadly it will not be available to purchase. The
only way to get a Wake Up and Smell the Bacon device is to enter Oscar Mayer’s
competition in the US.</span></div>

Microsoft is taking the wearables trend to a whole new level, with a 'smart
bra' that can measure your emotional state, cross reference this with your diet
patterns and send alerts to your smartphone when you are at high risk of
over-eating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

smart bra is embedded with sensors that measure heart rate and respiration,
skin conductance and movement. This data is then sent to a mobile phone
application using Bluetooth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

the research paper, the scientists explain that the bra form factor was chosen
because it allows the sensors to sit close to the heart. The sensors are
embedded in conductive pads which sit at the centre of the user's sternum, on
each side of their ribs and in the bra cup, just under the breast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

scientists were then able to correlate this real-time data with historical
information about the wearer's emotional eating patterns, and trigger an
intervention via their mobile phone before they start comfort-eating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for the smart bra were revealed in a research paper from a team of scientists
at Microsoft Research, entitled <a href="http://www.cs.rochester.edu/hci/pubs/pdfs/FoodMood.pdf" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #234b7b;">Food and Mood: Just-in-Time Support for Emotional Eating</span></i></a>.
The paper focuses on "building a persuasive system for behaviour
modiﬁcation around emotional eating".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wore the bra sensing system and reported their emotions for about 4-6 hours a
day over a period of approximately four days. The scientists admitted that it
was very tedious for participants to wear the prototyped sensing system, as the
boards had to be recharged every 3-4 hours, requiring them to remove their
bras.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">A Microsoft watch is currently in the works and will feature LTE
technology, according to a new report.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The smartwatch with mobile device connectivity was first rumored
in April, and now a prototype is believed to be near completion and in
preparation for team-based testing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Microsoft could face a lot of competition in the wearable tech
space by the time the smartwatch debuts. The Apple iWatch team recently began
hiring new workers, and Sony has already released generation 2 of its Google
Android based smartwatch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">According to<i> <a href="http://macnn.com/rd/289718==http:/www.theverge.com/2013/7/15/4524286/microsoft-surface-watch-smartwatch-testing-rumors" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The Verge</span></a>,</i> the <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/846556/xbox-one-removed-features-family-sharing-program/" title="Xbox One: Some Removed Features May Be Coming Back – Eventually"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Microsoft</span></a> Watch
was originally testing as the <i>Joule</i> and featured a heart-rate
monitor for use with the company’s Kinect and fitness games. The watch featured
a 1.5-inch display that required parts from several manufacturers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">In another rumor, <i>AmongTech</i> <span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">claimed</span> that Microsoft was working with removable wrist
bands. The original prototypes from Microsoft were said to include a
translucent material called Oxynitride Aluminum. That material is three times
harder than glass but also much more expensive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The new Microsoft Watch prototypes are said to use a modified
version of Windows 8 that is capable of interacting with other Windows devices.
The current rumor also suggests 6GB of storage alongside its own 4G LTE data
connection. With LTE, the smartwatch can work on its own to browse the web and
perform other tasks. It’s that LTE technology that could give Microsoft leverage
over its potential and current competitors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">While the Microsoft smartwatch would not be a <span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">smartphone</span> based
on current rumors, it could receive push notifications from the users
smartphone and even control Windows Apps remotely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">With Apple, Samsung, and now Microsoft entering the smartwatch
business, it is turning into an exciting time for wearable technology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Would you be willing to purchase and wear a Microsoft Watch? Do
you think the wearable tech industry lead by smartwatch devices and Google
Glass is looking promising?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
