"blu Smart Pack Ciggarettes"?o.O

              This article was kind of wierd. Apperently someone had the idea "smokers" want to be with other smokers and they also run into the problem of not being able to smoke in bars or anything anymore. So, as you know, they created the "e ciggarette" well the "blu" is a little more advanced. It's similar to an "e cigarette" as far as being able to take it into the bar but it will vibrate and light up [it connects to the internet] when another "blu" cig user is within 50 feet. What do you guys think of this? Personally I think its STUPID who would pay 80$ for THAT?=p         PIC BELOW AND LINK IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANOTHER PICTURE   http://news.cnet.com/breathe-in-blus-social-networking-cigarette-pack/8301-17938_105-20062794-1.html?tag=mncol;txt

Balding? Maybe you should look into this....

      Alot of males seem to run into the problem of balding. Not only in their thirty's some kids our age too. Well fear no longer, because there is the Artas. What is Artas you ask? Well none other than a robot who can harvest your hair folicles [hehe sounds funny I know;]. How's it done? You sit in the chair and it removes the remaining hair about 1 millimeter while the robots hand [controlled by a doctor] give you small dermal punches [which would mean just on the top of the skin] while harvesting folicles and are later transplanted. And your head will gradually produce hair over a couple months. It's quicker and less invasive than the other procedure usually used and requires less people. However you have to have black or brown hair [for now] or it wont't work.

My surgeon...DRUNK?!

    WOAHHH this article kind of freaked me out apperently there has actually been a study going on about surgeons drinking the day before an opperation and it having an      effect on them the next day! I think the results of them opperating like this are pretty obviouse, they found the surgeons that drank the day before preformed worse, especially the newer ones. Apperently they tested in groups of 3 and 3 out of all the ones who had alcohol preformed slower and made errors all 3 times, go figure right? I mean you have to kind of know it's going to affect you the day after a little as well. I certainly hope my surgeon knows that geez think of what a disaster it could become! I mean if someone is having surgery on their heart and the surgeon messes up it's fatal. What do you all think about this?

A higher detail brain map!=]

What could 5million dollars on one sheet bring right? Wrong I think it's actually well worth the money it is way more advancced than any other brain map. It could help diagnose more things, help scientist understand it better. What do you guys think? I think if they get more detailed with things thats better I mean let's face it scientists are always descovering things and improving what they know. They used to think an atom didn't exist there is always room for improvment and if that could help them succeed in helping people I'm all for it leave your feedback=].

Video games actually, deemed "healthy"=]

Our busy research friends say that playing video            games can help with motor skills. 12 surveys show that it has improved upper arm strength and mobility in stroke patients 5X better than people just undergoing physical therapy alone. Also that wii and playstation games have helped brain stroke by improving the brains ability to create new nerve cell connections and they are continuing to test and see if it can improve other things too. =]

I think that this is actually a pretty believable argument. I mean think about it, sure you shouldn't play video games 24-7 go outside or do something active. But a little here and there I can totally see improving those things. Especially the Wii, it's a very active system [trust me I have one] my arms and body start to hurt after a while sometimes because it requires so much moving and I don't know about you video game players but I get REALLY into a game when playing it lol ;] but hopefully they continue with good results in the future this could be very beneficial. Your thoughts?

Facebook a little harsh?

Well, according to the article I read today a woman who posted a picture of her breast, as she is a breast cancer survivor she posted it showing her scar from it and her profile was deleted and pic was removed. Facebook went on to say if she posted it and didnt show the "nipple" that was fine but since she did, it had to be done. That they have to follow the same guide lines as tv which says no "nipple".


Well personally I don't know what to think I understand it's a nudity thing but come on, she had cancer, it wasn't like she was jux posing becasuse she wanted to show her boob. But at the same time it would be hard to monotor weather people where doing it for reasons like that or jux because they wanted to. And why is it ok just as long as the nipple isn't exposed? Its the same thing so why's it such a big deal? I don' t know...what does everyone else say?

MICROBOTS!

Well technology keeps getting better and better! They invented a microbot that is designed to help with diseases that impair eye vision such as, macular degeneration. This little robot apperently target the location and treat it with drugs. It can stay in your eye for months at a time, and before they are removed they leave one more dose of medicine in your eye. They don't know how much it's going to cost yet and right now they are testing it on pigs. There is a video if  you guys would like to watch here is the URL http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20044175-1.html?tag=mncol;txt.
And to the left is a picture of the little robot. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>^^^^^

Wow I don't know about you guys but this is pretty dang cool. It's helthier and less invasive for the pacients. I wish I knew if it was affordable though because I think it would have to be or it wouldn't get bought very much. I hope they start doing it with humans soon, if it could save eye sight that would be pretty amazing and make people alot happier. And the fact that it's actually a mini robot blows my mind, and it's kind of scary to think about at the same time because it's slightly on the creepy side lol ;] what do you guys think?
