There’s good news and there’s bad news from the Blu-Ray camp this week. The good news is that Fox studios have announced that they are adding an exciting new interactive feature to their new releases. It’s a multiplayer game woven into the film that you play as it progresses. Not only do you upload your own avatar, but it will also stay in memory and reappear when you buy future titles. The bad news is that the price of Blu-Ray players have begun to climb…something that comes easily when there’s no competition.
Scientists have figured out a way to tap into the nerve impulses going from your brain to your vocal chords, allowing for ‘Voiceless’ phone calls. Apparently, with careful training a person can send nerve signals to their vocal cords without making a sound. These signals are picked up by a neckband and relayed wirelessly to a computer that converts them back into words.
YouTube is expanding its developer tools as they begin to change the site from a video destination to an all-encompassing web video platform. The new tools allow developers to build their own private YouTube, using YouTube to handle video transcoding, but keeping the uploading interface local and branded for their own site.
Speaking of youtube, Have you seen the new trailer for Pixar’s new movie Wall•e…it’s worth the download.
And then lastly, terrorism could take on a far more sadistic approach after the Medical Device Security Center announced that they have found wireless vulnerabilities in some pacemakers that may allow someone to remotely deactivate them.
Modern pacemakers have wireless functions so that doctors can reprogram them to suit a patient’s condition, and therein lies the rub, since these signals are unencrypted.
