<p>Hasbro plans on launching a musical toothbrush called "Tooth Tunes" reports the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB110928409421263580,00.html?mod=technology_main_promo_left">WSJ</a>.</p>

<p>"When pressed to the teeth, the toothbrush renders a recorded riff from a pop star that lasts two minutes -- precisely the amount of time dentists say children should spend brushing their teeth.</p>

<p><I>How does it work?</I> "The two-minute recording is stored on a microchip no bigger than a dot atop the letter i. Push a button on the toothbrush, and a minicomputer starts playing the song. Sound waves are transported through the transducer to the front teeth, traveling from there to the jawbone and then to the inner ear.</p>

<p>Hasbro is in talks with several recording artists about getting rights to their recordings. Many artists would probably consider a gig in a toothbrush beneath their talents. But others might welcome the daily exposure in their young fans' lives."</p>

<p>Two sides, installed at different locations, communicate over the Internet. On Side A, Tear Well allows a sad person to express his/her feeling by pumping a traditional water pump, the water representing her/his tears. The tears are sent over to Side B over the Internet, where teardrop sculptures called KU act as networked surrogates.</p>

<p>As soon as Side B receives the crying signal, KUs start to cry. When a viewer on Side B wipes KUs’ tears, KUs stop crying. At the same time comforting response is sent to the sad person to cheer them up.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.index2005.dk/">INDEX </a>2005 jury has announced the <a href="http://www.index2005.dk/topnominations">100 finalists </a>for the INDEX Awards.  </p>

<p>Among the nominees:<br />
<a href="http://www.index2005.dk/Members/shisyku/bodyObject">Project Unplugged</a>, by <a href="http://www.hertz-langberg.com/">Tine Hertz and Maria Langberg</a>, is a portable and flexible textile that converts sunlight into electricity and allows you to carry the energy with you in the shape of a jacket or as a tent.   </p>

<p><img alt="DSC01608_1[1].jpg" src="http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/DSC01608_1%5B1%5D.jpg" width="240" height="180" /></p>

<p>The solar cell was incorporated in a transparent organdi textile and can be manufactured using industrial techniques such as silkscreen printing. The textile is now printed in pieces of 30x45cm, but by putting the textile-modules together you can create the exact form you need. The designers have also invented a technique which allows the electrical connection simply by sewing the cloth together with a thin copper thread.  </p>

<p><a href="http://www.index2005.dk/Members/dafude/bodyObject">LifeStraw</a>, by Torben <a href="http://www.vestergaard-frandsen.com/">Vestergaard Frandsen</a>, is a 25 cm long plastic straw/pipe filter which turns dirty water into clean, drinkable water. Sucked up water meets two textile filters that filter out big materials, even clusters of bacteria. Then the water is led into a chamber of iodine impregnated beads, where bacteria, viruses and parasites are killed. The second chamber is a void space, where the iodine can maintain their killing effect. The last chamber consists of granulated active carbon, which role is to take the main part of the bad smell of iodine, and to take the parasites that have not been taken by the pre-filter or killed by the iodine. </p>

<p><img alt="strawlif.jpg" src="http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/strawlif.jpg" width="240" height="187" /></p>

<p>LifeStrawTM lasts for one persons annual needs of clean water, nobody needs to die from these diseases. </p>

<p>The original idea was created by Torben Vestergaard Frandsen, but over the years 2 additional persons have been involved in this, Rob </p>

<p>Ian Pottinger and jher were the first to find that there are in fact eight of these &#8220;UFO&#8221;s over Florida, at the following points</p>

<p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.748651,-80.189370&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">One</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.748705,-80.074496&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Two</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.801105,-80.130801&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Three</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.902041,-80.357265&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Four</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.902041,-80.357265&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Five</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.902041,-80.357265&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Six</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.903071,-80.302463&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Seven</a> - <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.903071,-80.302463&amp;spn=0.0,0.0&amp;t=k">Eight</a></p>

<p>and Tensus used keyhole to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48556057@N00/13647471/">map the points</a> showing that they make a very neat grid.</p>

<p>Yoshino and jher later noticed that the UFOs are not limited to Florida but can also be found over L.A.</p>

<h3>Things the UFOs are definitely not&#8230;</h3>

<p><strong>Space debris or another satellite?</strong></p>

<p>Derek &amp; Tensus discovered that the close-up images of Florida are taken by AerialsExpress.com at an altitude of 17,500 feet so are aerial photos and not satellite images.</p>

<p><strong>Marks added to obscure famous peoples homes?</strong></p>

<p>While there&#8217;s no doubt the whitehouse photos were processed for security it is very unlikely these UFOs are intentional &#8216;cover-ups&#8217; due to the neat grid layout.</p>

<p><strong>Water towers?</strong></p>

<p>The UFOs are just too big to be water towers (and there&#8217;s no shadow).</p>

<p><strong>Anomaly produced by the stitching software?</strong></p>

<p>Shi Ju says</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Definitely theyâ€™re NOT marks for picture stitching. In most stitching software (like for making panoramas) the algorithm comes down to finding sharp and contrasting details and aligning those spots with each other.</p>
</blockquote>

<h3>Things the UFOs still could be&#8230;</h3>

<p><strong>An alien spacecraft?</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s still possible!</p>

<p><strong>A weather balloon?</strong></p>

<p>Tm says</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The &#8220;Grid&#8221; is centered around an airfield, common launch points for weather balloons.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Although Klem says</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>All currently used radiosonde devices (weather balloons) are latex, yellowish beige to transluscent</p>
</blockquote>

<p>and Jello adds </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The object in question here does not cast a ground effect, therefore does not exist in the air. </p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>A &#8216;lenticular&#8217; cloud?</strong></p>

<p>Patrick was the first to float this idea and the <a href="http://www.siskiyous.edu/shasta/env/clouds/
">images he posted</a> do look similar to the UFOs, although it is unlikely clouds would form in neat grids.</p>

<p><strong>Condensation on the lens?</strong></p>

<p>Possibly the current forerunner for most likely explanation, Stuart said&#8230;</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Condensation inside some sort of housing would be my guess. If the drop were directly on the lens it would be effectively invisible. Put it a few inches/feet away and have the camera shooting with a very deep depth of field (as you would with a small aperture) and it would look just like that anomaly.</p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>Something else?</strong></p>

<p>Possibly one of a Peppermint, baseball, Vogon ship, crop circle, planet, thumbtack, ballbearings, smoke, pond, swamp gas, golf ball, satellite, flying ninja, space junk or contact lens as others have suggested!</p>
