If I die - application of death

Israeli company Wilook has build an application that allows users to send messages after their death.
As you know, Facebook user profiles do not "die" as fast as the users die. If I die, the application allows users of social networks to send last wishes even years after their death. Morbid little thing! That's why we love technology!
After you install this application, you choose "trustee" friends who will be responsible to verify and confirm your death. Then you can record or write as many posts you like, and they be published posthumously. After those "trusted friends" will confirm your death, the messages you have registered will be send to all at once or on a schedule set in advance - for example, one day each year.
The company justifies this act by the mere fact that you never know when you die and how many things you have not had the courage to tell them before. Through this application you are given the opportunity to leave something behind.
The idea came from Alfonta CEO Eran, co-founder of Wilook, after some friends who were involved in an accident asked him to create a website where they could record messages for their children that will be received only after their death.

Google Nexus Tablet - the first Google tablet
1:55 AM

Google has worked with HTC and Samsung to promote their own mobile OS (Android) to smartphones, and now it seems it wants to come strong on the tablet market segment. According to statements by the Executive Director of Google, Eric Schmidt, the online giant is preparing a tablet that will compete with Amazon Kindle Fire.
Thus, Google tablet aims to provide outstanding performance in a compact body with 7 inch touch screen, while maintaining a competitive price under $ 200.
It is rumored that the Google tablet will be available under the name "Nexus Tablet", which urges us to believe that the manufacturer will be the South Korean company Samsung, which made the latest Google smartphones - Nexus Nexus S and Galaxy.
The operating system will could be the last iteration of Android's, most likely the future 4.x ICS
Although this is the logical step, Google prefers to keep us in suspense. They do not confirm anything officially. But we still have the Eric Schmidt statement, which is heavy.
If the rumors will prove true, Google tablet could appear on the market in about six months.

How to control your laptop with eyes

One of the basics seen in the demo version of Windows 8 shows that it can be used with touch screens. If we add to it the eye controlled function, things get Sci-Fi.
The system was invented by people from Tobi and it's called Tobii Gaze Interface. It works by sending the user's eyes light near-infrared region. Then, it uses two infrared cameras to capture what is reflected on the retina and cornea. With this data, it builds a 3D model of the eye. So, the system knows where the user looks, but does nothing until it has the green light. Even though it may seem difficult to use, the system is simple and fast.
