YouEye uses your webcam to monitor your eye movements

Apple patent offers peek at E-Wallet icon… or does it?
Patently Apple is running another of its excellent, exhaustively detailed listings of Apple's recently awarded patents. In the description of one of the awards, the site pointed out what they believe is an icon for an "E-Wallet" app, possibly pertaining to a Near Field Communications (NFC)-based electronic payment system. We've been hearing a lot about Apple's involvement with ISIS and NFC payments, so it seems likely that the drawing in this patent description could be pointing out the ...

Mortal Kombat ESRB rating is back at Mature
Mortal Kombat, one of the most iconic fighting games ever released for video game consoles made a huge impact when it was debuted back in 1992 on the PC. As years passed, the game grew more popular, and as of late, it somehow was neither here nor there. The games didn’t have the impact that they first had and as it got more popular and spawned more games in the series, it somehow lost the essence of what the ...

HP To Sell TouchPad In April?
Digitimes, ever eavesdropping on the water cooler talk at big manufacturers, reports that HP’s webOS-powered TouchPad may be launched as soon as April, two months earlier than the only extant previous estimate . Volume is predicted at 4-5 million units, which is in line with other big names in the tablet field. The earlier the better, HP, but with the Xoom and Galaxy Tab 10.1 (among others ) in the running as well, it could be a tough debut. I get the feeling someone’s going to end ...

Robot hand hits 20WPM, nearly ready to embrace infinite monkey theorem
Robot hands have been grabbing, crushing, drawing and otherwise actuating for years, but have you ever seen one properly type? That's the primary purpose of a new Virginia Tech design. Engineers built this Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robotic Typing (DART) hand to mimic real human hands as best they could, down to individually-actuating three-segment digits and 110 degrees of wrist rotation in a similarly sized package.
