Fujitsu’s wireless guidance system promises to free patients from the waiting room
Last Updated on Wednesday, 14 July 2010 03:06 Written by Donald Melanson Wednesday, 14 July 2010 03:06
It may not do much to speed up wait times, but Fujitsu is at least doing its part to make the time outpatients spend at hospitals and clinics a bit easier. It’s announced a new wireless outpatient guidance system, which packs an electronic paper display, and accommodates a card that a patient would receive when they arrive for their appointment. When placed in the card reader, the device would automatically register the patient at the hospital or clinic, guide them to their destination, and continually inform them of their wait time and place in line. It’d also, of course, work anywhere there’s a wireless signal, so you’d be able to leave the waiting room without having to worry about missing your appointment. No word on any hospitals that have signed up to use it just yet, but the system will be commercially available in February of next year. Full press release after the break.

AT&T sends apology email to customers affected by iPad 3G security breach
Last Updated on Sunday, 13 June 2010 07:47 Written by Nilay Patel Sunday, 13 June 2010 07:47
Good news if you’re one of the 114,000 iPad 3G owners whose email address was uncovered by hackers spoofing the AT&T ICC database the other day — AT&T is very, very sorry, and it’s written you a nice email to make it all better. Ma Bell says the “hackers deliberately went to great efforts with a random program,” which is pretty funny — we can only imagine the damage insincere hackers making a half-hearted effort with a non-random program could have done. In any event, AT&T says the hole’s been patched, that it’s working with law enforcement to figure out who’s liable, and promises that it takes your privacy seriously. Yes, it’s all very nice — although we’re sure affected customers would much rather hear that they’re being comped a free month of service. Full email after the break.

Motorola RAZR3 comes back from the dead for a very special hands-on video
Last Updated on Friday, 30 April 2010 02:41 Written by Joseph L. Flatley Friday, 30 April 2010 02:41
While you’re still trying to decide whether or not we’ve entered the post-Moto era, or if recent sales numbers are but a mere hiccup, might we introduce you in a hands-on of Motorola’s doomed RAZR3 (aka Ruby)? Featuring an improved interface, GPS, FM radio, and a touchscreen, this would have been the phone to beat — in 2006. For a closer look at the dumphone that almost was, check out the video after the break.

DIY scanner cuts out the hassle, keeps the fun of Super 8 film scanning
Last Updated on Monday, 25 January 2010 08:02 Written by Donald Melanson Monday, 25 January 2010 08:02
Looking to speed up your Super 8 film scanning but not ready to step up to a pricey, professional rig? Then might want to take after Flickr user Photobsen, who rigged up this system that relies on an old floppy drive, a flatbed scanner, some parts from a vintage Super 8 viewer, and a good bit of know-how. Unfortunately, there’s no detailed plans for building your own, but the rig is apparently able to scan Super 8 film at a rate of 80 seconds of film per hour completely unattended — although we wouldn’t blame you if you sat and admired your handiwork for a while after piecing one of these together.

Last Updated on Tuesday, 15 December 2009 08:44 Written by Joseph L. Flatley Tuesday, 15 December 2009 08:44
If you were waiting for ViewSonic to finally put out a netbook, the wait is over. If you weren’t, we don’t blame you — we weren’t either. At any rate, the VNB102 ViewBook that we saw manhandled way back in September has finally got a street date: December 18, to be exact. Things are pretty much as you were expecting: 10-inch display, Windows 7, Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB memory, 160GB hard drive, a six cell battery, and 802.11b/g WiFi. This bad boy can be yours for the MSRP of $399. Intrigued

UK T-Mobile customer data sold to cold callers, responsible staff to be prosecuted
Last Updated on Tuesday, 17 November 2009 04:09 Written by Vladislav Savov Tuesday, 17 November 2009 04:09
Let’s be honest, who here is actually surprised that underpaid and overworked data workers would sell on our details for a few extra quid? Given the number of uninvited calls to our unlisted phone numbers, we know for a fact that somebody has been dishing our personal contacts to those Nigerian princes and caring loan consolidators, so it’s no shock to learn that T-Mobile employees have been fingered for committing the deed and are now facing prosecution. We’re told that inappropriately leaked information made its way into the hands of brokers, who then “cold-called the customers as their contracts were due to expire” without T-Mob’s knowledge. Disappointed by the failure of current fines to discourage such illegal information trade, British Justice Minister Michael Wills has even called for “custodial sentences” to be levied against the poor slobs responsible. So, if you’re scoring at home, that’s now two black eyes for T-Mobile when it comes to keeping our data safe . For shame.
