Smart Streetlights

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 02:20 PM PDT

Have you ever left the lights on in your house for days at a time and then gotten a ridiculously crazy electric bill the next month? Can you imagine how much cities have to pay to keep all the street lights on and maintained every day? The cost is astronomical, but it could be diminished quite a bit due to Dutch designer Christian Shuh's new streetlight design called Tvilight.

Christian Shuh's new streetlights are designed to light up only it senses people around through its wireless sensors. When people aren't around, the streetlight dims, using the least amount of power possible while still lighting the street enough for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to see where they're going. The system is designed to recognize the difference between people and animals, so it won't cut on unnecessarily.

MelaFind in the Developmental Stages

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 02:17 PM PDT

Melanoma, for those who may not know, is a form of skin cancer that is often discovered via cancers moles and skin legions that look like nothing out of the ordinary to the untrained eye. More than nine thousand Americans die each year to skin cancer; many because they didn't know they had skin cancer until it was too late.

MelaFind is a device created by Mela Sciences to help dermatologists decide whether a mole is cancerous or not. Cancerous moles, if caught in time, can be biopsied before the patient ever actually develops skin cancer.

Sounds like a life saving device right? Well there's a bit more to it.

Are Electronics taking Yoga?

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 02:14 PM PDT

No, they're not, but electronics are starting to become quite stretchy. Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered that nanoparticles and elastic components can be combined to make conductors that stretch.

This means bendable displays, batteries, medical implants that move with the body instead of pressing up against it, and much more. This could actually lead to the creation of paper thin displays and multimedia magazines and newspapers you can hold in your hands!

Of course, we're still a long ways from that.

Not too long ago we reported that Robocop was receiving a film reboot that's slated to come out in 2014. This year's Comic-Con has given us a few more details along with a deeper look into the movie's overall message. Robocop will seek to raise the question of whether or not drones should be used by local police departments.

Back when the original Robocop came out, drones and automated machinery were little more than ideas within the realm of science fiction. Today's society sees that drone-based police enforcement is on the horizon. They're already putting up signs on the side of Bay Area highways after all!

Video Game Sales Drop 15%

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 02:08 PM PDT

It's not really much of a surprise. Every gamer knows that summer is when gaming usually falls off for a bit, but a 15% drop in retail sales in one month is still huge when hundreds of millions are involved. Total spending on video games in the U.S. last month was $1.2 billion, only about 50% of which was made up of physical sales.

Where'd gamers take their business? Mobile games have seen sharp increases in revenue over the last few months, causing many gaming journalists to wonder if mobile gaming is slowly taking over the market. Although the main reason they're so speculative is because the real answer is much less interesting.
