Do you ever wondered what is your dog doing when you are at work? Have you tried to hear it on the open phone line or on Skype? Now there is an easy way to know what your dog is doing – you just need to… follow him on Twitter!

Of course we don’t expect from your puppy to type and tweet what he is doing, this is done for him by the PuppyTweets – device consisting of two parts: dog tag attached to the collar and USB receiver plugged into computer. The battery powered tag has motion and sound detectors and sends the data about the dog activity to USB receiver via Wi-Fi. The information describing your puppy’s mood and actions is posted to Twitter with the appropriate one of about 500 funny phrases that will for sure enhance your own spirit.

The inventor of PuppyTweets is Mattel corporation, and it is available for only 30 USD at Amazon, so the competition for the dog with the most followers on Twitter has already begun.

After several mounts of information “leaks” Apple finally introduced iPhone 4. This happened on 7th of June at the opening of Apple WWDC developers conference, where Steve Jobs compared new iPhone with Leika camera and said that it will revolutionize the world of smartphones. (more…)

There is some kind of trend in technology development into very big or minute devices. This one is definitely in the large scale scope of multi-sensor displays.

So what actually is the mTouch? It is a coffee table with incorporated 32″ or 42″ sensor display produced by Merel Technologies. It support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, has USB ports and multi-format card reader. The computer characteristics are: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.8 GHz) processor, 4 GB memory and 320 GB HDD.

Although the mTouch is still in development stage it already has some nice applications including gestures and objects recognition, multimedia functions, Internet and social networks integration.

MTouch will be available in July in custom colors and on price of only 3200 or 4200 USD for respectively 32″ and 42″ models.
