| Japanese Engineers Create Mosquito Proboscis Syringe Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:31 AM PDT Ever watched a mosquito suck blood? It’s a silent and stealthy extraction if not for the accompanying itch. By design, the long serrated needle—call it proboscis–mosquitoes use to puncture skin is sheer perfection. It’s closest equivalent are the syringes used in hospitals and for the medical establishment of the future, they simply won’t do.

| Word Challenged? Never Fear, The Quicktionary Is Here! Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:24 AM PDT In a world full of unnecessary gadgets whose functions can be provided by smartphone apps, the Quicktionary stands defiant. It’s for those rare occasions when you’re laboring over the Bible in its original Greek and can't understand a thing. Oh wait, the Quicktionary doesn’t do Greek except when it’s English to Greek. Never mind, it covers most European languages anyway. Maybe not Basque/Euskara, but at least the very popular ones. Hebrew too.
