GPS shoes for Alzheimer's patients to hit US
GTX Corp said the first batch of 3,000 pairs of shoes has been shipped to the footwear firm Aetrex Worldwide, two years after plans were announced to develop the product.
The shoes will sell at around $300 a pair and buyers will be able to set up a monitoring service to locate "wandering" seniors suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.

When you were a kid, you probably stared at the back of the cereal box as you slowly became alert in the morning. Today, perhaps you read the paper or catch the early news. But there’s another intriguing option out there. With this Colour Changing Ceramic cup, you can sit back and watch the form of a sexy lady undress! When you filled with hot water or coffee, she’ll go from a fully dressed gal to a nude beauty, as her skirt disappears.
I posted this in another thread and got drowned out by a Michael Moore discussion, this seems a better place for it.
What was the population when you were born?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515
When I was born, I was the:5,326,040,655th person alive on Earth and
80,403,571,121st person to have lived since history began
297 people = the amount the population has grown while you've been on this site
How the number is calculated.
Both numbers have been calculated using UN Population Division figures. The first is an estimate of how many people were alive on your date of birth. It is one possible value based on global population figures and estimates of growth rates over time. Data before 1950 is less accurate than figures after that date. The second number includes calculations based on the methodology of scholar Carl Haub, who estimated how many people had been alive since 50,000 B.C. His calculation has been amended by the UN to include additional points in time.

The ultimate lie blocker: magnetic pulses
All this time, we've been tinkering with lie detectors and physical pressure to force people into telling the truth — all for nothing. A new study suggests that magnetic stimulation to a special part of the brain can force subjects to tell the truth.
Two Estonian researchers are claiming they've successfully used magnetic stimulation to the "dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the front of the brain" to lower chances of telling lies.
