“KartRider” Korean Online Game
Filed under General
This company Nexon Corp is getting money selling virtual items. I believe this would be like gunbound, but people can earn virtual money instead of paying real dollars.
Nexon said the game had attracted 12 million users, or one fourth of the country’s population, and 200,000 users simultaneously logged on for the game at peak times.
As real car racing is in its infancy in South Korea, some business firms have even found chances for publicity on the virtual racing track.
Wow…can even get sponsors and advertisers…..anyway…it sounds like a mario kart copy

24/7 Health Monitoring Device
Filed under General
The Vivago WristCare is the world’s first security device that automatically monitors a person’s well-being 24 hours a day. During the first four days of use, the unit adapts to the user’s normal activity level by measuring micro and macro movement, skin temperature and skin conductivity. If the Vivago WristCare registers a significant change in the user’s activity level, it automatically sends an alarm to the alarm recipient.
The Vivago WristCare enables, for example, elderly and chronically ill persons to safely live at home for longer.
For whom is the Vivago WristCare intended?
The Vivago WristCare is intended for anyone wanting and needing additional security. The unit places no restrictions on the user�????s activities, but offers, instead, an opportunity to improve the user�????s quality of life. Excellent results have been obtained, in particular, with elderly people living alone at home or in institutions, as well as with chronically ill patients. The activity curve transmitted by the Vivago WristCare is used to support care activities with, for instance, the monitoring of sleep/wake rhythms. The wrist unit can also be used as an access control solution for users with dementia, as well as a security system for care personnel.
How does the Vivago WristCare work?
The Vivago WristCare is based on patented IST BODYCODE technology. IST BODYCODE technology consists of sensors and algorithms that allow body signals to be monitored and analysed automatically and continuously.
Sony adds browser to its PSP.
Filed under General
When you upgrade your firmware you will now see some new extra features. It is free for the Japanese Playstation Portable (PSP)
The new software introduces a wireless internet browser with unspecified security features (presumably support for cookies – the bits that remember your settings on certain pages) and support for HTML 4.01. Flash is not supported, but the PSP can apparently detect it, so we may see that in future. The web browser will be housed in a net network menu.
A desktop wallpaper style feature is being introduced for the PSP menu, and the system will allow you to trade your stored pictures wirelessly. This feature will only be available via ad-hoc wireless networks to begin with (i.e. PSP to PSP direct) but it may be expanded to allow the general sharing of pictures someday. Watch out Hillary Clinton, eh?

Robot Crockroches to kill those Crockroches
Filed under General
Looks like those Crockroches (“siew kiong”) are going to face some problem once they started to retail these robots roches…..it is said that it will mimic crockroches and be friend, then “BOOM”, it start to kill and eliminates!
Called InsBot, for “insect-like robot,” the mechanical bug mimics the insects’ smell and movements to the point that the roaches have accepted it as their own. That feat helps scientists study mixed societies of animals and robots.
