Best of the Rest: Braille Touchscreen Phone, Real Intelligent Killing Machines


Filed under:



There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Touchscreens on phones like the iPhone, Palm Pre, or BlackBerry Storm pose an obvious problem for the blind -- if you can't see what's happening onscreen, you can't really use the phone. This B-touch concept phone (pictured) offers a possible solution with a braille interface. [DVICE]
  • Google is rolling out to-do list functionality on its Google Calendar site, so you'll be able to better keep track of all your important events. Thumbs up. [geeksugar]
  • There's been a lot of talk about intelligent killing machines since 'Terminator Salvation' hit theaters. If you're still not convinced the robots aren't fully equipped to rise up and destroy us all, here's a list of the 12 deadliest unmanned killing machines currently in use. [brainz]
  • The hard-drinking journalist was a cliché even before Graham Greene picked up a pen -- a new study in the U.K. just reaffirms the profession's uncanny ability to guzzle down the gin. The surprise, though, was that IT workers came in at second place, beating out workers in finance, insurance, and real estate. [Finance|Tech News]
  • While cameras and camcorders are smaller than ever, there's still something totally James Bond-cool about a gum-wrapper-sized spy camera. [walyou]
