They say the vast majority of communication is done physically rather than verbally, but in the realm of technological advances we seem to have rather neglected the transmission of physical contact. Thankfully, there’s always Japan to provide us with off-the-wall innovations , this latest one being a kiss transmission device that will record, relay, and — if you wish it — replay your finest tongue gymnastics. It’s the height of simplicity at the moment, with a plastic implement taking input from one person’s mouth and conveying it to a second box, intended to be gobbled up by the recipient of this techno-affection, who may respond in kind or just sit back and enjoy the thrill of it. The researchers sagely point out that there’s more to be done, as the sense of taste, manner of breathing, and moistness of the tongue are all important aspects of a kiss that have yet to be recreated. Once they do get their kiss transmitter to v2.0, however, they envision a pretty neat market for it in reselling kiss replays performed by celebrities. For now, you can see a celeb-free video demo after the break.

Continue reading …Almost 10 years ago, Osama bin Laden ghosted away from the Afghan battlefields. Since then, it is as if the doomsday sheikh had slipped into a twilight zone where the only proof that he was alive was the chilling voice on a spool of tape, the occasional video image – and a string of terrorist outrages and wars lengthening around the globe that claim inspiration from him and his cause. At 11:35 p.m. on May 1, 2011, President Barack Obama made a dramatic television appearance to announce that bin Laden, whose capture or killing was the top priority he had given to CIA chief Leon Panetta, was dead. The leader of al-Qaeda, Obama said, had been tracked by way of intelligence sources in August…

Continue reading …The morning after Donald Trump found himself a prime target for jokes in speeches delivered by President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Meyers at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, the potential presidential contender reacted to the shots taken at him during a phone interview on “Fox and Friends.” “Well, I really understood what I was getting into, I didn’t know that I’d be virtually the sole focus,” he said. “But I was certainly in a certain way having a good time listening.” Nevertheless, the billionaire and potential candidate said he found the annual event to be “inappropriate in certain respects.” And, despite Meyers drawing laughs and positive reviews with his remarks, Trump said he thought “his delivery frankly was not good,” calling the “Saturday Night Live” star a “stutterer.” The AP relays some of the jokes made at Trump’s expense on Saturday night: The president said Trump has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of “Celebrity Apprentice” to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama’s birthplace. After a week when Obama released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate, he said Trump could now focus on the serious issues, from whether the moon landing actually happened to “where are Biggie and Tupac?” “No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than ‘the Donald,’” Obama said, referring to Trump’s claims the same day that he was responsible for solving the issue. For Trump’s decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: “These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir.” Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off. “Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising,” said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. “I just assumed he was running as a joke.” Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the real estate tycoon. “I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke,” Trump said on Sunday morning. “It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?” In a twist of irony, Trump told ABC News upon arriving to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that he didn’t anticipate the president would address him in his speech.
