I've long remembered something about a wrist-phone with mic hidden in
the wristband and thumb as earphone, allowing you to talk on the phone
simply by making the international sign for "I'll call you."
Unfortunately I never blogged it and soon lost track of the link.
Thankfully, it appears to have returned, albeit a finger, not a thumb,
in your ear.
Yahoo!
News reports that NTT DoCoMo's Masaaki Fukumoto is developing the
idea. Similar to the "bone phone" idea back in the 70s or 80s, sound
travels as vibrations through the bones to the finger, into the ear,
where the eardrum converts them back into sound. And as if that
weren't juicy enough, "by touching forefinger to thumb, the user
starts or ends a call, and uses voice recognition technology to dial
the number."
You _know_ I want one...

09/22/2004 04:34 AMHow often do your words come back to haunt you? Just a few months
ago, in the Identity Management newsletter (see link below) I said
that in the mid-to-late 1990s we thought that all keyboards would have
fingerprint readers built-in. I also suggested that you check out such
keyboards the next time you were in a computer store. How wrong I was,
at least as far as Microsoft is concerned.

Giving the finger to an animal
05/19/2004 11:58 AMA man got too close to a jaguar at the Rio Grande Zoo and lost a
finger. Before zoo employees realized what had happened, the guy fled
the scene. Apparently, it's illegal to pet the predator. After the
finger was found outside the jaguar's cage, police took a print from
the detached digit and tracked the guy down through his zoo pass.
Sadly, the frequent visitor who came to the zoo almost daily is now
banned. I bet the jaguar will miss him. "They're not your friends,
they're not your pets," the zoo director said. "They're wild animals."

Two-Finger Scrolling on an iBook
03/14/2005 05:09 PM Just installed a new kernel extension to get that two-finger
scrolling on an iBook G4. Works like a
charm. The one that handles both methods is a little screwy because
it switches to X/Y mode as you're making circles and the scroll kind
of jitters, so get both of them and test each one to see which you
like better. I've found the X/Y one to be the best, which is also,
coincidentally, the mode Apple chose for the new PBs.

American Guardian Inc. is selling the 'Shield Finger Guard,'
a strip of plastic with adhesive that makes it impossible for children
to pinch or sever their delicious fingers in the hinge side of
swinging doors. Two models are available, with either a temporary,
removable adhesive for homes (your kid will eventually get old enough
to know better or, optimally, be left with a nubby stump too large to
fit into the gap) or a permanent adhesive for schools and
nurseries.
The Shield Finger Guard is $10 bucks, available at select
retailers.

04/13/2005 11:51 AMDavid Pescovitz:
Last month, I
posted about a woman who reportedly found a fingertip in a
spoonful of chili at a Wendy's in San Jose, California. Now, Anna
Ayala has surprisingly dropped her claim against the restaurant
because, her attorney says, it "has caused her great emotional
distress and continues to be difficult emotionally." Wendy's has
offered a bounty of $50,000 to the first person who can positively
identify the source of the finger. From the Associated Press:
Wendy's maintains the finger did not enter the food chain
in its ingredients. None of the employees at the San Jose store had
lost any fingers, and no suppliers of Wendy's ingredients reported any
hand or finger injuries, the company said.
The Santa Clara County coroner's office used a partial fingerprint to
search for a match in an electronic database but came up empty. DNA
testing is still being conducted on the finger.

UPDATE: Thanks to the BB readers who pointed
to reports that finger-finder Anna Ayala has a suspiciously
litigious past and that last week police

Apple has received over 100,000 pre-orders for the iPod
mini which was introduced last month.
I think that was the sound of the iPod mini flipping you off. I think.
