Brainical Question

BrainbowImage by ogglog via FlickrIMHO the brain is a wonderful, mysterious things.. the more we find out about it.. the less we end up knowing (kind of like a womans purse LOL). And as I said on secrettweet: The consequences of my actions decline any responsibility for my Celebrum.

I am making this post because I think that it is immensely important for us to understand more about our brain.. use it better.. train it better.. its capabilities has a direct relation to our life (not surprisingly :-) ).

My theory is that the more we develop complex nerve connections, the more we can comprehend complex matters. The less nerve connections we have in our brain, the less we are able to understand for instance - relativity theory.. just a thought..

WOW, this is amazing. Like one of the comments says - BMW is the Apple Inc. of the car industry. Imagine an accident were the involved parties softly bounce of eachother... I'll keep an eye on that one.

And you thought your IPHONE is cool ?

Ina and mobile phoneImage via WikipediaCheck this article out. Apparently the next generation of phones you will be able to wave at, point at, do other things and it will react. Interesting potentials ! And best of all - no more smeared interface :-).

GestureTek: A New Way of Interacting With a Phone, which puts Wii-like capabilities into mobile phones. The company’s software allows a camera-enabled device to recognize gestures. What’s so cool about this new way of menu navigation is that it doesn’t require an accelerometer or an expensive camera to work. The software uses frame-rate speed to measure movement. The resulting device can allow an elderly person who lost her glasses to dial 911, or it can help a small child dial mom. It can also allow for some really fun mobile game play.
