Invention: Body-wired headphones
The new system uses the listener's body as a capacitor that carries a tiny electrostatic charge. A music or video player sends a fluctuating signal to a conductive cloth pad – such as a wrist band – and this slightly charges the wearer's body. A pair of conductive ear pads in the headphones pick-up the signal and rapidly convert it back into sound.

Nov. 21, 2006 — In the past, what we've learned about dinosaurs has been mostly based on bones.

Free long distance calls through Google?
the new feature could theoretically allow users to make free long distance phone calls to any North American number.Since every business listing on Google Maps has the "click-to-call" feature enabled, the only thing you need to do is get listed. Now instead of dialing a long distance phone number on your phone, you "dial" it through your own business listing on Google Maps.

Literary 'Dummies' getting TV treatment
"Whatever topic you can think of, there's a 'Dummies' book for it," said Arthur Smith, who runs his TV production company with Kent Weed. "There's such a plethora of information, and these are books -- not pamphlets." While no major specifics were given regarding the project, Weed said he and Smith would try to make the TV adaptation of the popular manuals both educational and entertaining. Producers are considering a game show format, among other possible formats, Daily Variety said.

New Technology Allows Wireless Recharging
A “non-radiative” electromagnetic field is a state of electric and magnetic fields which are localized someplace on the device and in the source, said John Joannopoulos, a researcher from MIT. “Localized means that electromagnetic fields will die off as you go away from the device or the source.”The energy could then be picked up by especially designed gadgets. What's not picked up by the receiver is then reabsorbed by the emitter.It’s not dangerous at all, Joannopoulos told LiveScience.The technology will initially have a short range at first, the researchers expect. A laptop could be recharged within a few yards of the power source.
