500 Solar Flashlight Give Away From Sunnightsolar

So we heard that Sunnightsolar was going to give away 500 of their solar flashlights, aimed to give light to people that don't usually have easy access to either the electric grid or the resources to keep buying batteries every night to light their houses, and why not also to all of us that just love flashlights and turn into little children every time we see one that has a feature that non of our current flashlights have. Since I live in a Third world country I am writing to the guys at Sunnightsolar to see if they will send me one of their flashlights and have a family here that has no electricity on their house test out the flashlight and give us imput on these product, if they give it the thumbs up i will probably end up getting one for myself and testing it out for myself,

	11:12 AM (52 minutes ago) Colgao Hanged Table Lamp from OhGizmo! by Andrew Liszewski By Andrew Liszewski I’m pretty sure this unique lamp isn’t going to appeal to the average homeowner. Designed and hand-made by enPieza! Studio, the Colgao table lamp is made to look like someone who’s hanging from a noose. It’s kind of morbid, but the lightbulb for a head idea almost makes it seem like this poor chap had a brilliant idea, just before they kicked the stool out from under his legs. As far as I can tell it’s a one-off piece, and isn’t available for sale. So if you want one for yourself, you’ll have to break out the hot glue and pipe cleaners. And maybe some electrical wiring.

Running on AA batteries and displaying all of your SD card-based media (unfortunately there's no codec list), we wouldn't recommend it for a home cinema projector, but it looks like a pretty fun novelty for $200.

	10:30 AM (1 hour ago) Kohjinsha's SR8KPO6S UMPC makes room for optical drive from Engadget by Darren Murph Filed under: Laptops, Tablet PCs Kohjinsha's UMPCs have remained largely unchanged over the years -- an SSD here, Intel CPU boost here -- but the firm's latest has managed to accomplish something few UMPCs would even dream of. That's right, this 7-incher includes a full-fledged dual-layer DVD writer, which tags along nicely with the 1,024 x 600 resolution LED-backlit panel, 1.3-megapixel camera, 60GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth and 800MHz A110 processor. It's also filled with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Ethernet, a duo of USB 2.0 ports, VGA output, audio in / out, 3-in-1 multicard reader and a pair of battery options promising 3.5 / 7.2 hours of life. The 2.4-pound machine looks to be available at the end of this month (albeit rebadged as a Vye Mini-V S37) for around $1,500. [Via Ubergizmo] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

The pet GPS receiver attaches to your dogs collar and will alert you when he leaves the area you've defined as the 'safety zone', be it ten feet or ten miles. It wi

To use it, just give it your address, city, or zip and it'll display many of the nearby hotspots. This sort of tool isn't new by any means, but it is returning better results in my area than previously mentioned webapps like Hotspotr. If you give it a try, let's hear how the hotspot finder measures up in your area in the comments. While you're there, you may want to download wiPod, which stores all that hotspot information in note form for easy browsing on your iPod. Free Wi-Fi/Hotspot Finder [AnchorFree via FreewareGenius]

	8:02 AM (4 hours ago) Using Semantic Search to Cure Disease, Prevent Animal Testing from ReadWriteWeb by Richard MacManus One of the big trends in 2008 has been the emergence of what I call Semantic Apps - a kind of 'Web 2.0 Meets Semantic Web' app typified by startups like Twine, Hakia, Quintura, Powerset and others. Another growing trend is health 2.0, web-based health apps and services. What's interesting is that those two trends are crossing over, with semantic health search engines beginning to make an impact. Two such apps to cross our desk lately were 1) CureHunter, which claims to be able to find cures for diseases using semantic technologies; and 2) Go3R, an app that claims to provide information transparency "for the prevention of animal testing". Health is an area where Semantic technologies can be put to great use, due to the overwhelming amount of data in the healthcare industry and the fact that it's largely inaccessible to the general public (despite most of it being our data). CureHunter - Can it Really Cure Diseases? CureHunter is an example of the new semantically-charged health search engines popping up. As the name suggests, it is a web service that aims to find cures for diseases. Judge Schonfeld is the CEO and Chief Scientist of CureHunter and he described it to us in an email as a "Medical Data Mining engine system that uses an intelligent semantic processor linked to a network graph theory module to read the scientific literature (entire NLM archive 1949-2008 >) and compute new cures for human diseases completely autonomously." That's a mouthful, but I've highlighted the key points: it uses semantic processing, network graphs and most interestingly claims to "compute new cures" automatically. The following graphic (excerpted) illustrates CureHunter's approach. Essentially it tries to analyse health research data and compute cures: Click here for full image, with extra detail CureHunter is pretty complex, but I did some tests for diabetes type 1 to see if I could find a "cure". The results were overwhelming, in an 'info overload' kind of way: It outlined some interesting "cures", but much of the information was not something patients would understand. It seems like a great resource for doctors and physicians though. So to answer the question in the subheader, can CureHunter really cure diseases? Probably only if you're a doctor or physician who knows how to interpret the wealth of data that CureHunter serves up. Go3R - Prevents or Amplifies Animal Testing? The idea of having a health database that includes animal testing results isn't something most people would find very appealing. However Go3R, developed in four months by a company from Germany called Transinsight, claims to be a "knowledge-based search engine for alternative methods to animal experiments." (emphasis ours) The site aims to enable scientists to "take advantage of the benefits of semantic searches for the area of alternative methods in accordance with the 3Rs principle [Replacement, Reduction and Refinement]." Transinsight is already known in the web 2.0 world for GoPubMed, a health search engine that AltSearchEngines has covered before. You could view Go3R in two ways. The first is the version Transinsight pushes in its press release: that this app makes it easier to find alternatives to animal testing. However the second point of view is that this is a big database that includes animal experiment results, and so it might be seen to amplify the practice of animal testing. For example I searched for "diabetes" and the number 2 result was a test on rats: Whether you see this as further exploitation of animal testing, or (as Transinsight says) an app that will "lead to a significant reduction of animal experiments", it is an interesting use of semantic technologies(!). Conclusion Health search engines are nothing new - indeed both Google and Microsoft have made important announcements in this domain over the past year. In October 2007 Microsoft unveiled HealthVault, a consumer health and search site. In February this year Google announced a pilot program of their health records application called Google Health. A week later, Microsoft acquired Medstory - a vertical search engine for health information. There is also a lot of interest among startups - see our report from the Health 2.0 Conference in March and another report from a healthcare panel at SXSW later that month. Also our network blog AltSearchEngines continuously covers health search engines. But I'm liking this latest trend for semantically-powered health search engines. If ever there was a compelling need for Semantic Apps to help users make sense of and organize data, it's in health. CureHunter and Go3R are two apps to look out for.

	7:38 AM (4 hours ago) Give Your Feline Their Own Perch On Your Desk from OhGizmo! by Luke Anderson By Luke Anderson I have a cat that loves to hang out with me in my office. Usually he will either lie in my lap, or try to make himself comfortable on the desk. I usually don’t mind him in my lap if I’m not too busy, but my desk is too cluttered to accommodate my feline friend. That’s why I need the Kit in Box. This is a nice little bed for your cat that clamps onto the edge of your desk. This gives your furry friend someplace out of the way that they can hang out while you work. Of course the trick is getting them to actually use the bed and not just try to plop down in their favorite spot on your desk. If they actually use it, then your $50 investment would likely be worth it. [ RefinedFeline ] VIA [ Dvice ]

	7:25 AM (4 hours ago) NAJA King Flexible Stand For iPhone & Touch from OhGizmo! by Andrew Liszewski By Andrew Liszewski If you’re like me, you hate seeing your iPhone covered in fingerprints, even though it’s as inevitable as death and taxes. And if a few smudges bother me, you can safely assume there’s no way I would take it anywhere close to a bathroom. So while I’m going to pass on their suggested use, I still like this unique iPhone/Touch stand from the Thought Out Company. The NAJA King (pronounced NAHA) uses a soft, flexible 3-foot coil that can be reshaped for a variety of uses. Like as a stand sitting on your desk, or wrapped around the back of your neck with the device hanging in front of you. The grips that securely hold the iPhone and Touch are covered with soft rubber so they won’t scratch your device, and the head is able to rotate 360 degrees. You can get it directly from the Though Out Company’s online store for $39.99. [ NAJA King Flexible Stand ] VIA [ Ubergizmo ]

	7:16 AM (4 hours ago) Kohijinsha SR8KPO6S is 7-Inch UMPC With Optical Drive [UMPCs] from Gizmodo by Haroon Malik The Kohijinsha SR8KPO6S fits a DVD burner into its tiny, 9.2 x 7 x 1.3 inch chassis. As if that were not enough to stick it in the Eee's face, the 7-inch (1024 x 600) display also boasts touchscreen functionality, an 800Mhz CPU, 60GB HDD, Wi-Fi g support and weighs in at 2.4lbs. The battery will supposedly last somewhere north of three hours, but we wouldn't be so sure of the claim. The UMPC runs Vista, and also has tablet PC mode support. Still, a comparison to the Eee is probably a little unfair considering the Kohijinsha surely costs a fair bit more, even if we have no word on pricing as yet. [Ubergizmo]
