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. The red and black Wii Mini system comes with the console, sensor bar and a Red MotionPlus controller with Nunchuk. The New Wii does not have internet connectivity nor is it associated with game cube anymore. Otherwise I think its a pretty good system.

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.
