Scotch Ray

Who: UCLA
What: Scotch Tape and X-Rays
Why: To make X-Ray taking cheaper.



In one word, you can summarize the whole new meaning to Scotch Tape.

X-RAY

Who would have ever thought that something that's in our pencil cases or that lets posters and pictures cling to our walls could have such a high meaning? Scientist Juan Escobar said that "The power you could get from just peeling tape was enormous." Mr. Escobar has suggested that with some cleaning, we just might be able to make cheaper X-Ray machines so that places where electricity is expensive or rare to get.

But after the whole process, the big question is for these tape-peelers, is this not safe for the naive people that do this? Don't take this the wrong way! You may continue to use Scotch Tape to tape everything from pictures to your 3 year-olds toy together.

The Latest iPod Nano







The new iPod is here and better than ever! This new iPod has many features. One of the first things you will notice is the RAINBOW of colors.This is the first time that there have been nine different colors.


There are so many fabulous things about the new iPod Nano other than the color factor. First of all, there is a new software called "Genius". Genius is.... well, a Genius! It will create playlists of songs that will go great together. Genius can also be found on the new iTunes on your computer.

The next thing you can do is find your favorite song a lot quicker! Why search from A to Z for hours and hours when you can view Cover Art and not have to read a thing? You can also press and hold the center button to browse in different categories like album.


What if you tilted your iPod and a whole new experience could be experienced? When tilted, you can see everything in a wider screen. You can view pictures, movies, TV shows and music videos in a whole new way! You can view more Cover Flow with the vertical screen.

Moving and shaking your iPod can do SO MUCH! You can shuffle your songs. During a game like a maze, you can tilt your iPod from left to right to navigate your way through the maze.

The new iPod is most likely something that will pass by soon. Soon Apple will come up with something bigger (or should I say smaller) and better! Can you remember the first time that the iPod was shown?!?! But for now, this is better than the best. With all these features, may come a few defects, but WHAT IS PERFECT NOWADAYS? I personally don't have any experience with this iPod but I've heard it is really great! If you have used it, leave a comment with your opinion.
