We’ve previously pointed out tools like SimplyNoise for the generation of white noise to drown out other sounds. The Scientific American suggests that, for some workers, steady background noise might actually increase stress levels and impair working memory.

Buy Ketchup in May and Fly at Noon looks like a true money-saver’s tipsheet. Written by former investigative journalist Mark Di Vincenzo, Buy Ketchup doesn’t take all of its time-saving tips seriously, because nobody expects you to rearrange a...

Jaxoreth writes “The Kodak Easyshare Wireless Digital Picture Frame displays images via a per-frame RSS feed hosted by FrameChannel. Each frame’s URL is identical except for a parameter matching its particular MAC address, enabling public browsing of users’ feeds.

They promised us a device in 2010 and sure enough, Light Blue Optics just announced Light Touch. As the name implies, LBO’s product is a laser projector that turns any flat surface into an auto-focused and image-adjusted 10-inch touchscreen with WVGA resolution thanks to its laser- (not LED) based pico projection engine dubbed HLP (holographic laser projection) and infrared touch-sensing...
