Mahjong tiles come in all shapes and sizes, but this time round they come in the form of a USB flash drive. Known as the MahjongDisk, this prestigious handcrafted USB flash drive is modeled after a trio of Mahjong tiles stacked together. Of course, you will have to dig deep as the MahjongDisk retails for a whopping $400, constructed from wood material with drive capacities of either 8GB or 16GB. The Lan-Xue model will retail for another $100 compared to the Li-Shui, and both of them use materials normally found in classic Chinese furniture. Read and write speeds have been rated at 18MB/s and 15MB/s, respectively, courtesy of the onboard SLC memory module.

Clearly we've been seeing changes in the ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere. The question for the future, and we don't have an answer yet, is how is that going to shift against the backdrop of climate change?

The story here, however, is that the Brazilian Air Force is going to be flying the penguins back to South Atlantic, possibly in freezing chambers onboard cargo airplanes. Oh yes, and they are so cute that I'm about to have a diabetes arrest.

The BenQ S6 Mobile Internet Device

I don’t mean that BenQ used a person called Tim to launch the S6 (though they may have had someone of that name working on the launch), no, no, no - BenQ have launched the Mobile Internet Device called the S6 with Italian Operator TIM!

There is an Intel Atom processor inside, along with 4.8″ screen, and 370g of weight to account for. 3.5G and WLAN radios are onboard for InterWeb access, and Bluetooth even makes an appearance!

Apparently the cost will be 429 EUR, which isn’t too harsh, although it is going to have to compete with the increasingly popular netbooks at that price point.

You can check out BenQ’s info on the S6 here.

Until now digital readers have been a great idea whose time hasn’t quite come. The good news: every new model gets better, and Sony’s latest Reader, the PRS-700 is the company's best yet. It has the dimensions of a slim paperback book and weighs a very portable 10 ounces. Better still, it has a touchscreen, letting you flip pages with the slide of a finger. The new model also adds LED reading lights on the sides of the 6-inch screen, making it easy to read in a darkened airplane cabin. Of course, that's going to suck your battery faster, draining it after just 8 hours (or 4 on the high setting).

The onboard memory can store about 350 books, and there are card slots for SD and Memory Stick Duo cards. With the included eBook Library 2.5 PC software you can transfer pdf documents and even music files to the Reader. Down the road there are plans for a wireless application (à la Amazon's Kindle) to get news on the go and generally expand the 700’s functionality. Right now it's strictly black-and-white, though. When pressed on when we could expect a color reader, Sony reps would only say it's still "years" away. But the mono-colored PRS-700 will be available in November for $300.

The device works by placing the sample in close proximity to the sensor and beaming a strong light through it. The sensor doesn't take a scientifically useful photo, but rather looks for each cell's unique light diffraction signature to spot and count it. It compares each signature to its onboard cell database to distinguish healthy and infected cells of many different types almost instantly.

Not only does the system not require a lens or any particularly expensive components at all—the computer processing required is minimal and can be handled by a smartphone, making this incredibly ideal for bringing advanced medical diagnostics to places that currently don't have them.
