Wearable Gaming EyeBall Robot ???
HA! It reminds of that Eyeball character from Quake !!!
“Miruko,” a wearable eyeball-shaped robot with a built-in camera and wi-fi capabilities, is designed to augment human perception by sensing and reacting to objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
In this video, Miruko’s creators demonstrate how the robotic eyeball can be used as an interface for a virtual monster-hunting game played in a real-world environment.
Worn on the player’s sleeve, Miruko’s roving eye scans the surroundings in search of virtual monsters that are invisible to the naked human eye. When a virtual monster is spotted, the mechanical eyeball rolls around in its socket and fixes its gaze on the monster’s location. By following Miruko’s line of sight, the player is able to locate the virtual monster and “capture” it via his or her iPhone camera.
Other skills, such as the ability to recognize and track specific faces or objects, suggest the Miruko robotic eyeball interface could be put to use in a variety of navigation, surveillance, and augmented reality entertainment applications.

OS 3.0 Completely Deletes email ! NOT !
It seems like OS 3.0 has another large flaw, it won’t fully delete your emails when you want them to. If you want to see it for yourself follow these steps.
1.) Find a message with a memorable subject line, and delete it.
2.) Go to your trash, and remove the message from there.
3.) Check whatever IMAP folders may be listed on your device—this works with POP too—and make sure your message is really not
there.
4.) Flick over to the main Spotlight search screen, and search for the subject line on that message that shouldn’t exist
5.) Be shocked and confused when you find that not only can you see the subject line in a simple search—you can still view the entire message. Your email-based illicit affairs are ruined.
