Giving Your ‘Touch’ Screen Real Feelings
You may never have heard of haptics, but you come into contact with it every day. When your phone vibrates to indicate an incoming call, that’s haptics. When you’re playing a video game and your controller rumbles along to an explosion in the game, that’s haptics. Haptics is any technology that connects with the user through the sense of touch.
GE Looks at the Future of Flight
Check out out this website - Future Flight - for a look into the future of aviation from GE.
The real treat on this particular website is the interactive airport map. You'll find it about halfway down the page. Check out such lists as "World's Oldest Airports" and "Most Scenic Airports". Our hometown San Diego made the top of "World's Most Urban Airports". Choose the "Remote Airport" list and then zoom out on the map to see just how middle-of-nowhere some airports are! You can also make a custom list - maybe all the airports you've flown into, or ones you'd like to visit - and share it with friends on Facebook or Twitter.
Maybe you should activate the out-of-office manager on your e-mail...this site could have you busy for a couple hours.

Pull Up a Chair...to your iPhone
Is the iPhone screen just too small for you?
You've tried upgrading the iPad, but still not getting the screen clarity you desire?
Maybe you need to pull up a chair to the iTableous!
Creator Benjamin Bachmeier took a 40" screen and designed an Apple-style table around it. In addition, it runs the Mac operating system (and Windows 7!), rather than the iOS (the operating system for Apple phones and tablets).
Check it the iTableous here, and watch a video tour of this custom job!

Online Shopping, Tablet-Style
Online shopping changed the face of retailing, but what will change the face of online shopping? The clear candidate is the touch screen computer – more specifically the tablet. Devices like the iPad and Galaxy can recreate the feeling of flipping through a catalog to shop a retailer’s inventory, giving a more personal, or maybe a more familiar, touch than scrolling down a list in a browser window.
QR Tech Alert: SnapTags Become Fashionable
You may have seen QR Codes and Microsoft Tags here and there in print magazine ads. But fashion magazine Glamour is looking to ratchet up mobile tagging in print media with their fall fashion issue. The magazine has partnered with Facebook to add “SnapTags” to the cover and inside ad pages of their September edition. Readers with smartphones will scan the SnapTags and be encouraged to “Like” either Glamour’s or a relevant advertiser’s Facebook page.

Introducing the Next World's Tallest Building
New concept pictures have just been released for the Kingdom Tower project in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The one-kilometer-tall skyscraper will dwarf the current place-holder, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, by nearly 200 meters. Within, 59 elevators will race you to the observation deck at 10 meters per second. This is not a building for the easily queasy!
Check out the website of Chicago's AS+GG Architecture, the firm designing the tower, for awe-inspiring renderings of what the completed project will look like. Construction is expected to start no later than this December, and take about five years to complete.
Remember, while these are computer renderings, this is a building they are really hoping to build - not a piece of CGI scenery for the next Star Wars project!
