Newfield man Dave Hurban implants magnets in his arm to attach his iPod nano. NJ.com.
Technology know no bounds. Neither does a mind racing to bring it closer to his fingertips. For ease of lifestyle, of course. Get rid of those mindless, binding strapping devices, and just embed skin magnets instead. And then presto! An easy way to hold your iPod Nano on your wrist.
That is what David Hurban from Newfield, New Jersey did. His skills as a tattoo artist helped him muster up the courage to cut open his own wrist skin, and embed the skin magnets. Piece of cake! Peace of mind. The device does not slip off even while working out at the gym.
“Those magnets are actually called micro-dermal anchors,” Dave explained, “and in body piercing they are very common. The tops are actually just 5 millimeter magnetic tops.”
“I took the ends of magnets and actually adhered them to the back of the iPod, and that’s how they click into my skin,” he told Digital Trends.
But what will the TSA say as he tries to go through an airport checkpoint?

Japanese ATMs to use palm readers in place of cash cards. Network World.
Alas, technology creeping onto meticulously mapping the veins of one’s palm, to gain access to one’s bank account.
The tsunami helped spur this Japanese bank into getting rid of bank cards, in lieu of a palm, a birthday, and a pin number. The scanners are techno-wonders of the modern age.
How long before they land on America’s shores?

Car, stuck on LIRR tracks, catches fire Friday. Newsday.
Be careful of those GPS instructions. They are not necessarily designed to give the safest answers.
A burning Honda Civic on Long Island Rail Road tracks near the Farmingdale station delayed trains Friday night after a female driver turned onto the tracks after her GPS device gave her audio instructions to do so, Nassau County police said. The car got stuck on the track, came into contact with the electrified third rail and caught fire. The woman and her passenger were able to escape the car without injuries. (March 2, 2012)
Technology still has its flaws. Human judgment sometimes can thwart it.
