911 text messaging service coming in 2014

Most 911 centers can't receive text messages. But that doesn't always stop people from texting them in an emergency, not knowing their pleas for help won't be seen. A new initiative announced Friday will finally bring texting technology to emergency centers across the country in 2014 or sooner. The top four wireless carriers in the U.S. have agreed to speed up their efforts to support text-to-911 capabilities, making it available by May 15, 2014. Once the carriers are set up, local emergency response centers will still need the proper equipment, software and training to receive and respond to the texts.

It comes out on December 7th 2012.The Wii Mini has been completely redesigned from the base-up in order to make the smaller console.

People Are Allergic To BlackBerry Phones

Scientists looked at Blackberry's  phones for two allergens which were cobalt and nickel. About a third of Blackberry's had nickel in them. The flip-phone models were about 91 percent nickel and 52 percent was cobalt. The allergenic symptoms were swelling, hives and breakouts which left rashes and scars. Most Blackberry owners who were allergic to the two allergens sewed the company. That left the Black berry company going down the toilet.    

This technology may be used to render an enemy’s electronic and data systems useless. Instead of a missile that destroys a target along with everything nearby, countries have been wanting to use some thing more efficient like a weapon that knocks out the lights instead which cripples a target without collateral damage.  In the first test, the missile sailed over a two-story building, then let loose microwaves to shut down a room full of computers. It makes battles less messy by focusing on the electronic component instead of the human one.

Spontaneous Combustion Is Easier Than You Think

The facts about spontaneous combustion can easily happen. Spontaneous combustion is a my favorite among conspiracy-theories types. Reports of people suddenly going up in flames tend to give off an essential detail, like a a lit cigarette. With many scientific reports, the possibility is so great that some people are studying it. people are testing to see if the theory is true. A video was recently made that shows a cotton ball catching fire after having been soaked in several tubes of Super Glue. The cotton ball is the lungs proving that if you breathe in the glue over a long period of time you can combust. This in formation now can be used as and in weapons, a new form of technology.

'MacGyver' Robot Could Make Use Of Objects It Finds

New modern robots are doing specific jobs and it does it pretty well, it can scoop dog waste, get food for humans, or search in a dangerous environment. But it probably wouldn’t be able to do better than humans, but it can figure out how to grab objects lying around it and use them as tools. Scientists at Georgia Tech want to turn robotic helpers into machine MacGyvers that can use objects creatively to solve complex problems.

Robot Sea Turtles That Carry Cargo in Their Shells

Two ETH students are working on a turtle-inspired robot that can swim very well while carrying plenty of cargo. The Naro-Tartaruga (The name of the product) may not be as movable as a fish or eelbot, but it might be easier to build, and it is better for carrying payloads and robot parts like batteries and controllers. As of now, the robot is a huge hollow vessel with fake turtle flippers, which will help it move itself through the water. New designs include the more realistic-looking turtle robot seen above.

Bio-Retina Implant Could Give Laser-Powered Sight to the Blind

A new bionic eye implant could allow blind people to recognize faces, watch TV and even read. Nano Retina’s Bio-Retina is one of two recent attempts to help people with age-related eye problems, which affects 1.5 million people in the U.S.  The Bio-Retina implant is small because it doesn’t have an antenna. Instead, the implant takes images directly from the eye, and a laser powers the images into the eye. Because of the small size of the chip, an eye doctor can insert it through a small incision in the eye.

Russia is Building the World's Largest Nuclear-Powered Icebreaker

Russia already has a huge amount of both diesel-powered and even nuclear icebreakers, but it recently made something the world has never seen before: a massive new 558-foot long, dual-reactor nuclear icebreaker that will be 46 feet longer and at least a dozen feet wider than any other icebreaker in its way. Powered by two 60-megawatt compact pressurized water reactors, it will be the world’s largest “universal” nuclear icebreaker.

Undetectable Submarines

Defense systems can detect stealth submarines using two methods: sonar, which bounces sound waves off a craft, and radar, which can identify subtle disturbances on or below the ocean’s surface that can indicate a sub at depth. Now scientists are making sound and fluid cloaking methods that could defeat both detectors.
