  • Odd Smell

    Since I have been diagnosed, I have been getting this odd sweet/slightly chemical annoying smell that seems like it is coming thru my pores except no one can smell it. My BG has averaged about 100 since my diagnosis and I am on glypicide 2.5 mg twice a day. My doc said something about it might be from my body processing food/sugar etc.(he’s a resident, nice guy), but I’ve had that smell most of today and I’ve had very little sugar. Any help?

  • Vince Vaughn Marries

    The “Couples Retreat” star, who used to date Jennifer Aniston, told People in September that he’d reached “the first time that I really want to have kids.

    He tells Parade.com: “Friendship is the biggest thing for me, and also a sense of humour. I like someone that can make me laugh. I like to laugh at stuff, especially myself.

  • How Many Ways Can You Calculate 2010?

    Here’s an easy one: 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9

    How about 1*(2+(3-4*(5/6-7))*8)*9

    Or maybe 1+2345*6/7+8-9

    Or (1-(23+4)*5)*(6/(7-8)-9

    Maybe .1+23*(45+6*7)+8+.9

    Even 1-(.2+(3+.4)*(5+67))*(.8-9)

    If you love numbers and are excited about 2010, you’ll get a kick out of the cool 2010 page by Nadav Samet (surprise – he works for Google.)  (Thanks SMoody!)


  • Apple Buying Mobile Advertisting Company Quattro Wireless for $275 Million? [Unconfirmed]

    After Google secured a place in mobile advertising with a $750 million purchase of AdMob, there’s talk that Apple has purchased Quattro Wireless, an AdMob competitor, for $275 million. What’s Apple getting into now?

    This feels like a continuation of what we saw happening during the LaLa deal when suggestions went around that Apple stole the company from under Google’s nose as retaliation for Google’s purchase of AdMob. Geez. At the rate this is going, someone will be crying soon, but at least we know that Apple is definitely starting to take the Internet seriously now.

    As far as speculating over Apple’s motivation beyond simply slapping Google across the face, this would seem to be a move to gain control of the mobile advertising platform on the iPhone. Beyond that, perhaps there’s motivation for ad placement within apps, or maybe the entire thing is all about a new product. Whatever the deal is, here’s hoping we find out more soon.

  • Brief: Android closing in on iPhone in user interest, satisfaction

    The iPhone continues to lead in user interest surveys, but Android is closing in fast. New data from research firm ChangeWave shows that users are definitely interested in Google’s mobile OS, with a massive jump in the number of potential buyers eyeing Android-capable phones in its latest survey.

    ChangeWave queried 4,068 current and potential smartphone consumers last month and noted that a full 21 percent said that they would prefer Android on their next smartphones—a jump of 15 percentage points from the year before. Comparatively, 28 percent of respondents said they would prefer iPhone OS; this makes the iPhone the leader in this category, though this number dropped four percentage points year over year. BlackBerry/RIM OS went up by one point to 18 percent, and those interested in Windows Mobile dropped from nine to a mere six percent. The only mobile OS sadder than WinMo appears to be Palm/Web OS, which dropped from six to three percent.

    When it comes to user satisfaction, Apple and Google are neck-and-neck. Seventy-seven percent of iPhone users reported being “very satisfied” with their devices, compared to 72 percent of Android users, 41 percent of BlackBerry users, 33 percent of Palm users, and 25 percent of Windows Mobile users. (ChangeWave points out that for the Palm Pre specifically, the number was 58 percent.)

    This isn’t to say that the iPhone is going to fall prey to Android phones tomorrow—ChangeWave pointed out that customers who plan to buy in the next 90 days still overwhelmingly prefer the iPhone, and interest in the iPhone 3GS has not dropped off as quickly as it did for the iPhone 3G. However, it does show that Google has succeeded in turning the heat up on the smartphone competition, no doubt aided by the highly anticipated launch of the Nexus One.

    What is a “Brief” post?”

  • Astonishing Burj Dubai Opening Fireworks Will Boggle Your Mind [Fireworks]

    Forget about any Olympics inauguration ceremonies or any Fourth of July: The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world, and it got the highest fireworks too for its opening ceremony. So colossal you’ll think they are destroying it.

    The tower—which officially is 2717 feet tall (828 meters)—was inaugurated today, and the developers launched it with all they got. The people who attended the ceremony couldn’t stop cheering in awe. I don’t blame them. Watch the whole video to see the lighting effects just before the final fireworks. They look designed by aliens.







  • Esta es Costa Rica. Una foto por comentario

    Saludos compañeros.

    La idea de este tema es colocar una foto diaria ya sea urbana, natural, que represente alguna tradición costarricense o cualquier otra imagen que represente nuestro país.

    Acá no vamos a colocar nuestras fotos, la idea es tratar de buscar en internet imágenes con muy buena resolución y que nos resulten atractivas. De esta forma, vamos a convetir en este hilo, un "remix" de todos los temas del foro y unirlos en este tema para mostrar de una forma más completa nuestro país.

    Para que se vea más ordenado, tratemos de buscar imágenes grandes y para el título usemos letra Impact tamaño 6 color negro para hacerlo más uniforme.

  • Dazer Laser Fights Criminals With Loads of Pew Pew [Lasers]

    After writing this morning about the Glare LA-9/P, a device that can blind people from 2.5 miles away, I got this video of a product called the Dazer Laser. It seems like a joke, but it’s real. I think?

    I just love the swoosh sounds—I think the guy doing the voice over makes them. Or the way the suspect doesn’t turn away and starts running. And their script: “Dazer Laser will effectively disrupt and stop the perpetration of wrongdoing!” or “Dazer Laser, saving lives one daze at a time.”

    This is an instant classic, I tell you.

    O coronel ficou conhecido por ter liderado uma invasão à Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), em 22 de setembro de 1977, onde uma reunião de estudantes pretendia refundar a União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE).

    Formado em História pela Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e bacharel em Direito pela Universidade Guanabara, Dias assumiu a Secretaria de Segurança em São Paulo entre março de 1974 e março de 1979, durante o governo de Paulo Egídio Martins.

    Posteriormente foi deputado federal, deputado estadual e, por fim, vereador do Partido Progressista (PP) pela cidade de São Paulo.

    Erasmo Dias será velado durante a madrugada na Assembleia Legislativa de São Paulo. O enterro será nesta terça-feira (5) no cemitério Paquetá, em Santos.

  • Engadget meets Woz

    Filed under: , , ,

    Engadget’s Josh Topolsky got to chat with none other than Woz recently, and they’ve finally shared a great video of their meeting. Woz says a lot of interesting things in the video (he runs six navigation systems at a time in his car just for comparison’s sake, and carries two iPhones nowadays, just in case the battery life runs out), but the most intriguing thing about this video is just seeing the great Wozniak thinking machine race along at the speed of Woz.

    For example, those two iPhones he carries are the two different colors available. Why? “White and black, black and white. Resistor color codes: zero and nine. Those are the digits they end in!” Gosh, we love Steve Wozniak. You can watch the whole video after clicking the link below.

  • Panasonic’s CES Lumix sextet leaked: FP and FH models galore

    Looks like some Asian website, as Photo Rumors puts it, made a boo-boo and published its Panasonic point-and-shoot a tad early. Specs for six (and press photos for four) Lumix cameras have come to light. Here’s what’s the gang reportedly found, in a nutshell: the very compact, 14.1-megapixel FP3 has a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, 4x zoom, shoots 720p 30 frames per second video, and comes in a variety of colors; the FP1 similar in stature but with 12.1 megapixels and a 2.7-inch non-touchscreen LCD instead. The Lumix F3 drops the “very compact” look of the FP1 but is also 12.1 megapixels / 3x zoom, 720p 30fps video, and 2.7-inch LCD. The FH20 has a 14.1 megapixel sensor, 8x zoom, 720p video, and a Venus Engine IV image processor, which is also reportedly claimed by the the FH1 (12 megapixels, 5x zoom) and FH3 (14.1 megapixels, 5x zoom). It’s just that time of the season, eh?

  • Samsung announces two PMPs, one for fitness gurus, one made of glass

    Samsung announces two PMPs, one for fitness gurus, one made of glass
    We expect there to be no shortage of hot new PMPs announced this week, so manufacturers are looking for something — anything — to differentiate theirs from the rest. Samsung has two interesting angles for its latest players, the first being the MyFit, an 8GB model with integrated sensors to detect fat and stress, plus the typical accelerometer to measure your activities, and apps that can help you keep hydrated and even stop smoking — assuming you ever started. Oh, and it plays music, too. Then there’s the Ice Touch, a 16GB model with a two-inch AMOLED screen that’s transparent, much like the Xperia Pureness, but with more colors and fewer stunned looking models. The device itself is said to have a case made of tempered glass, which should make those accidental drops onto concrete a little more exciting, and it packs support for a wide variety of audio and video formats, lossless and high-definition, respectively. No pricing on either, but we’d expect the glass one to cost more than the healthy one.

  • HP TM2-1070US tablet details leaked, is temporarily out of stock

    HP TM2-1070US tablet details leaked, is temporarily out of stock
    Wondering about HP’s TM2 tablet we heard about back in September? Read on and sate thy curiosity, as eCost seems to have updated their database a bit early, spoiling HP’s fun and, if this is accurate, confirming the detailed specs of the TM2-1070US. It’s packing a 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo processor behind a 12.1-inch multitouch screen, 4500MHD integrated graphics, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 320GB disk, and even a fingerprint scanner, all in an aluminum case that’s been given the “factory custom” treatment with some laser etching. It’s listed next to a $1,099 price, which seems fair enough, though the site still won’t let you order one at this point. We’re guessing this one will stay “temporarily out of stock” until HP gets the druthers to make it official. That should be soon enough.

    [Thanks, Liam]

  • New Member Hello

    I wanted to say hello. I was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2003. My blood glucose at the time was 503. Being stubborn and not wanting to take medications, I went with exercise, diet and supplementation and eventually maintained an A1c in the 5s for about a year and a half.

    Then I slid down the slippery slope of lack of discipline and denial. This November my wife took me to the emergency room as I was an inch away from a coma with DKA. My blood glucose was over 600 and my A1c was 12.5. I also had pnemonia and H1N1.

    I spent 9 days in the hospital, lost 23 pounds during the whole sickness and came home on insulin. Lantus for my basal and Novolog for my meals. What a change. No more breakfasts of 2 moon pies and 4 hot dogs.

    The insulin seems to be working and my control is better than it has ever been. I am curious if there are any other diabetics that have never experienced a hypoglycemic episode. My blood glucose has never been able to go low enough to trigger one. Even on the insulin, with 3 meals per day and no snacks, which is a suprise to me.

    I am told I will always need insulin, but I am not so sure. I have noticed that this forum is full of great information and have learned much already. I look forward to learning more and contributing as well.
