The most irritating thing to happen if you use a mobile is while you are out and your mobile is about to run out of charge. And when this happens it is quite rare that you can anywhere plug into a socket to recharge. For such times is this small gadget created.

It looks like a pen, but is something more than a pen. However on

opening it up, it slips in a AA battery and it becomes a portable mobile phone charging unit which has the ability to charge a mobile phone for up to 100 minutes, and with no mains power required.

The One Battery Mobile Pen Charger gives your mobile phone a boost for around 20 hours on standby or two hours talk time, of course this depends on your mobile handset.

London: A robot walking up to you to collect the daily garbage and another one sweeping the street. Soon, this fond dream may turn into reality.This new generation of mobile and autonomous robots is part of the DUSTBOT research project under the VI European Framework Programme.

These state-of-the-art robots are suitable for the monitoring of large spaces (open and closed), and as guides for people in large shopping areas – indicating to them where a particular shop or product is within a shopping centre.

They are also suitable for accompanying elderly people or those with certain disabilities (both at home and outside), thanks to their functions of orientation, navigation, communications with others or tele-assistance centres, says a DUSTBOT release.

They can also be used as guides in teaching spaces (museums, visitor centres), and for storage and transport, besides the cleaning of both open and closed surfaces which have either difficult or easy access.

This last function is the one which was publicly demonstrated at a railway station in Atxuri, Spain.

The demonstration of two robot models was undertaken: the DustCart and the DustClean. The DustCart robot, measuring 1.45 metres high and 70 kg in

weight, has a humanoid form and is designed to interact with the user and for the collection of low demand waste.The DustClean robot, in the form of a small vehicle and measuring 96 cm high and 250 kg in weight, cleans streets of dirt and dust. Moreover, both control the quality of air in real time.

Washington: Scientists have developed a security language to protect home networks from cyber attacks.

Companies, banks and other organisations take internet security very seriously, erecting firewalls and IT departments to protect them from attacks. But domestic and small office networks are just as vulnerable to hacking, malicious computer code, worms and viruses.Geon Woo Kim of the Electronics and Telecom Research Institute (ETRI) Korea and colleagues who developed the specific codes said home networks have only a single gateway from the internet.
“Whenever a new access to the home network is found, it should be able to authenticate and authorise it and enforce the security policy based on rules

set by the home administrator,” the team said in an ETRI release.The computer scientists first turned to a computer markup language, eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML). XACML is a general purpose language and so it lacks the notation for security policies and authorisation rules

Razer’s got a knack for cranking out the unusual, and from the First Edition Boomslang, the outfit has also had a thing for developing gaming mice that demanded respect. The recently announced Naga (which is now shipping out to customers, by the way) is one of the most bizarre mice yet, boasting no fewer than 12 buttons on the left side and a promise of making your MMO gaming a more enjoyable experience. Alongside the wired USB critter, Razer also introduced a patently gigantic gaming surface, the $49.99 Mesasoma. We were able to spend some time with each of these peripherals, so hop on down to the gallery for a closer look and on past the break for a few impressions.

The ability to control what information one reveals about oneself over the Internet, and who can access that information, has become a growing concern. These concerns include whether email can be stored or read by third parties without consent, or whether third parties can track the web sites someone has visited. Another concern is whether web sites which are visited collect, store, and possibly share personally identifiable information about users.
The advent of various search engines and the use of data mining created a capability for data about individuals to be collected and combined from a wide variety of sources very easily.
