UberCab - connects drivers and passengers with iPhone App

But here’s where things get really interesting – the difference between UberCab and its various competitors is that the driver uses his own iPhone app, not some clunky one-use device installed in his car. That means there’s no technical barrier to anyone becoming an UberCab driver. Which means that anyone with a car, theoretically, could join the network and start picking people up.

The write stuff - Sharpie's Liquid Pencil

458276-540-74
Although it looks like and writes like a pen, it uses liquid graphite and erases much like a pencil. It writes smoothly, doesn't break or need new lead and it is even less smudge-producing than a standard pencil and far less smear-prone than any pen.

An Impossible Object That Would Make M.C. Escher Drool

Thru-religion
For obvious reasons, that particular piece is called "Thru Religion," and it was created by Drzach & Suchy--it makes perfect sense that the duo has a grad-level background in architecture (that's Drzach) and crytopgraphy (Suchy).

eBooks will dwarf physical books in 5 years

By “dead,” he of course doesn’t mean completely dead. But he means that digital books are going to replace physical books as the dominant form. His argument is related to his One Laptop per Child Foundation. On those laptops, he can include hundreds or thousands of books. If you think about trying to ship that many physical books to the emerging world for each child, it would be impossible, he reasons.

Viliv N5 Ultra Mini Mobile PC

Viliv-n5
Viliv is at it again. This time around the Korean manufacturer is going after the clamshell market with the N5. The self-described Ultra Mini Mobile PC is really just that — a truly mobile PC. This form factor isn’t exactly new as I just looked at the main competitor, the UMID mbook bz, just a few months back so I’m actually curious if the N5 brings anything novel to the niche market.

Sales of these computers are rapidly on the decline. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? More portability means easier thefts of computers in the work place. It also makes it more difficult to monitor what your kids are doing when they are online.

Castlight- Medical comparison shopping search engine

But there has been no easy way for consumers to shop for the best deal on a colonoscopy or blood test. A start-up financed by prominent venture capitalists and the Cleveland Clinic, Castlight Health, aims to change that by building a search engine for health care prices. Patients using Castlight could search for doctors that offer a service nearby and find out how much they will charge, depending on their insurance coverage.
