Technology that can save lives: a new insulin pump »

This post is OT in my blog but I think this news on TechCrunch needs attention, because technology should always be created keeping “life” in mind, any form of life.

Evolutionary energy »

While the orbo machine demonstration has been postponed again (and I’m going to postpone also my comments about the machine), I’d like to point out some other interesting projects:

and the best Italian website/forum about the MEG (Motionless Electromagnetic Generator) and free energy.

…google for more info…

hey, remember I’m not a physicist :)

reCAPTCHA: good job »

I don’t like captcha systems too much, they take you too much time to type unreadable alphanumeric strings, today I found a new project by Carnegie Mellon University: reCAPTCHA and it looks like this:

I like the interface, it could be nice to have only one captcha system for all websites, so visitors wouldn’t have to understand different UI from a website to another.

reCAPTCHA is a webservice and it’s free thus it’s easy to integrate, just a note:

The only reason we would charge is if you are a large corporation that uses a lot of our bandwidth, or if you require special services from us.

How much “a lot” is? I would prefer a clearer contract. Actually I would prefer an open development model.
