Video games

Anyone who plays video games usually doesnt wait till Christmas or their Birthday to get a video game that they really want, they will go out and buy it on the day it is released. Gamers don't want a video game as a gift, because chances are that they already have the games that they want. So instead of getting them something that they will never use, try getting them an addition to their gaming system. A Udraw for the Wii or a PS3 or Xbox Move would be a good gift, or maybe a bigger screen T.V.

Just don't call it email!

On Facebook you will be able to exchange picture and video attachments. Facebook says it doesn’t have a set limit on file size constraints, but will have systems in place to prevent abuse. Meanwhile, Microsoft Office will also be part of the new Facebook messaging system. Microsoft says that in coming months you’ll be able to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments with Office Web Apps directly in Facebook.

How to plug in a brain!
Researchers are finding better ways for our neurons to talk directly to our computers.

Researchers are trying to come up with a solution for a direct connection to computers. This could soon resore speech and even mobility. Leigh Hochberg is leading the second clinical trial of the brain-computer link called BrainGate. The system will use sensors that will be implanted into the motor cortex. Studies have shown that paralyzed people can even move a computer cursor by using their brains while attached to this system. These implants can inflame the surrounding tissue, and scarring can disrupt the connection between neurons and electrodes.
