  1. Narrow view, at least when it comes to Google on 'Google Buses' Are Bad For Cities, Says New York MTA Official · · Score: 2

    Google Pittsburgh located itself in a blighted area as well as a number of other Google locations have done the same. I think its a very narrow view to call out google on this if you look at the issue more globally.

  2. Add Testing to the Contract on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 1

    Companies can do RF testing. Just like you have a home inspection, you could add RF testing to the clause and make them pay for it and allow any even questionable levels to allow you to walk. This would also provide clear documentation for future sale.

  3. Check out BodyMedia for this kind of monitoring on Monitor Your Health 24x7 With the WIN Human Recorder · · Score: 1

    BodyMedia has been the leader in making consumer usable technology to monitor 24x7. Check out www.bodymedia.com for more information. They manufacture GoWear fit, BodyMedia FIT, and the Bodybugg, They are also FDA regulated and have an accuracy of 90% for daily caloric burn and minutes of activity data.

  4. Re:Bodybugg on Open Access To Exercise Data? · · Score: 1

    BodyMedia makes the hardware for the bodybugg as well as the GoWear fit. I believe in the GoWear fit program you can export data to excel. Though I think the detail level of the export may not be exactly what you are looking for. GoWear fit has a nice video here if you want to learn more: http://www.gowearfit.com/Learn-More/GoWear-fit-in-Motion You can also check here for more details: http://www.bodymedia.com/

  5. Check out www.BodyMedia.com on Body 2.0 — Continuous Monitoring of the Human Body · · Score: 1

    They have been producing sleek, usable body monitoring technology for a number of years now. The solutions focus on weight loss and getting fit right now but I am sure the capabilities would expand in the future. All the contestants on the Biggest Loser on NBC wear their private branded device. The latest offering looks like Go Wear fit and includes sleep duration and efficiency too. Check out www.gowearfit.com.

  6. Re:Simple / Affective (Somewhat Costly) on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    This is very true Fred, countless studies and government recommendations indicate that the method of less calories then you burn, and getting there by a combination of a few less calories and a bit more burn is an excellent way to make progress on weight loss. For the geek, the kind of technology in bodybugg is a great. It lets them very clearly understand what is going on with data and is very simple to use. The company behind the technology is www.bodymedia.com. That company also produces a smaller form factor device that includes additional information on sleep. Information can be found at www.sensewear.com. Hope that helps too!

  7. Re:W00t. 1st post on US Set to Use Spy Satellites on US Citizens · · Score: 1

    The government and law enforcement have been using publicly purchasable satellite imagery for cases for years. Using it to prove all kinds of things like the location of someone or items on property. What would be interesting and likely what they are after here is to start tasking satellites over the united states for active surveillance. As opposed to what has been occurring NOW, which is the usage of survey satellite data after the fact in cases.

  8. Item 5 is not a correct statement. on The Dozen Space Weapon Myths · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Item 5 is just wrong. The current weapon technology (NMD) to shoot down incoming MIRV's are designed to target the warhead after it has already past the stage of burn and been released. The key issue is determining the fake warheads from the real. In space (the target point of impact) is also the hardest to determine fake from real. The sensor packages and analysis of that data is the critical piece to making them work correctly. And heat trails is not part of that. Heat trails for targeting are only used in anti-missile tech designed to hit the rocket shortly after launch. Yes, we are developing some of those but again, those are not the ones people are concerned could be converted for satellite targeting.

  9. Just a Hoax! on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    It isn't free or real, you have been hoaxed. Look here: http://www.steorn.net/en/ for the open directory. Look at the http://www.steorn.net/en/coverage.html page for the nice April 1st date. You can also note the barely there website, no history on it, and the translation sections aren't implemented fully. The website is just sitting there soaking up email addresses....
