We’ve seem a simple game controller for games such as Pong, controllers for the Playstation and also Nintendo’s Wiimote, but will the gaming in the future see the absence of controllers? Well, with the muscle-computer interface technology being investigated by Microsoft, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of Toronto, it just might be a possibility. The gesture recognition software can decode muscle signals from the surface of the skin, which in turn can trigger events, or even be used to play games. Simply put, we could unlock our car, change the track on your MP3 player, or even play (air) Guitar Hero just my flexing our muscles or twiddling our fingers. Check out a cool demonstration of this technology in this video.

Bell should be feeling rather smug; as the announcement is out that the Samsung Omnia II will be exclusive to Bell.

Sometimes you just have to take pity on cellphones, last time people used to claim that it caused cancer, now it’s being blamed for bone degeneration. Next we’ll have a study that concludes that cell phones make is hungry or something. A recent study has surfaced that wearing a cell phone on a belt clip may result in lower bone density, thanks to the phone’s electromagnetic radiation.

When this cat and mouse game first started, we were rather intrigued, but after going back and forth so many times, it’s starting to become tiresome. We’re talking about the iTunes syncing issues with the Palm Pre of course, and with the latest iTunes update, the Palm Pre can’t sync with iTunes again. One possible solution to end all this confusion would be to do like what RIM has done, and introduce its own version of BlackBerry Media Sync software which will allow iTunes users to sync their DRM-free music with the device. Maybe Palm is just lazy, and trying to hitch a free ride?

Always wanted to draw, but can’t do so to save your life? Well, if the ScribbleBot becomes a reality, there might be a solution for you (aside from drawing classes). This device can be fed with a preconceived drawing design (probably downloaded off the Internet), after which it will be able to guide your hand and pen to give you a much more satisfying result. Of course, we’re not too sure whether the drawing will still count as being &ldquodrawn by you&rdquo, but who cares, right?
