Swedish Tobii is probably the worldwide technology leader in eye tracking. All advertising companies in the world probably are using Tobii technology when doing usability testing of web design and web advertising design. Now Tobii plans to expand their reach to provide eye tracking technology to more professionals and perhaps even to consumers if they can make the Tobii eye tracking package compact and cheap enough for it to be integrated in consumer ultrabooks.

Zealio Electronics Co Ltd shows iPhone and iPad power adapter

Posted by – April 23, 2012

They claim their USB power adapter provides enough power to charge the iPhone and the iPad at the same time. Outputting 3.5A on one USB and 2A on the other. I wonder if it’s a mess all the different power charging of USB cables, that some USB power sources output more power than others, that some USB cables transport more power than others, and that new USB charging devices such as the new iPad having such huge batteries that take over 10 hours to fully recharge over a normal USB cable, but which may or may not charge faster when using a more powerful USB power source and USB cable.

The 10 HKTDC videos on my corrupted/broken SD card have been recovered! Posting them soon

Posted by – April 16, 2012

Good news: all my 10+ video files have been recovered by a hacker expert on the 3rd floor of the Wan Chai computer market in Hong Kong (hkd$1600), he says they used a lab to open up the SD card and do some type of operation on the card, about an hour later they had all the files ready to be transfered back to my storage. Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions in this and this thread for how I could have maybe done it myself!

I’m not using 32GB class10 Patriot SDHC cards bought in Fry’s Electronics again, and I am going to look at upgrading to a newer camcorder with a function to record to 2 SDXC cards at the same time.
