  2. My link :rolleyes: :rolleyes: By Ben Rooney A magnetic vibrating tattoo has to be one of the strangest patent applications in quite a while, but Finnish phone giant Nokia has filed a U.S. patent for just that. According to the patent application, Nokia is proposing “a material attachable to skin, the material capable of detecting a magnetic field and transferring a perceivable stimulus to the skin, wherein the perceivable stimulus relates to the magnetic field.” Or to put it another way, a vibrating tattoo. That magnetic field would interact with the tattoo, causing it to vibrate in a certain way. Nokia’s thinking is that in much the same way that you can have different ring tones for different callers, so too a future phone could emit a different magnetic field depending who is calling, or if your battery is running low, or you receive an SMS, for example. It doesn’t have to be a tattoo; the application does talk about just a badge, but it is clear that some thought has been given to actually embedding this thing. There is a lot of talk about using “ink enriched by ferromagnetic or paramagnetic compounds” and how these would be applied. Why? The application doesn’t specify, but you could imagine situations were it is either very quiet, or conversely very noisy, so some alternative form of altering system could be used, although quite why just vibrating the phone itself isn’t enough… Hat tip to Unwired View for spotting this.
  3. www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/20/drinks-idUSL1E8EK1P620120320 By Martinne Geller March 20 (Reuters) - U.S. carbonated soft drink consumption fell faster last year as strength in energy drinks failed to offset weakness in traditional sodas from Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc, according to a leading beverage industry newsletter. Total sales volume of soda fell about 1 percent in 2011 to 9.27 billion cases, according to Beverage Digest, about the same level it was in 1996. Sales volume fell 0.5 percent in 2010. Excluding energy drinks such as Red Bull and Rockstar, soda volume was down 1.5 percent last year, Beverage Digest said. "Carbonated soft drinks, while still the biggest category, are playing a declining role in Americans' beverage consumption," the newsletter said on Tuesday. Soda sales in the United States grew about 3 percent annually throughout most of the 1990s but began to slow in 1999. Sales have been in decline since 2005 as increasingly health-conscious consumers turn to options they see as healthier, such as bottled water, juice and tea.

  8. large package good stores that stock guinness often carry it. occasionally, i find it at kroger. strangely, my store was out of it today.
  9. a really nice looking beer which, to me, tastes like a near identical twin of sam smith oatmeal stout. it's a really fine beer, but a bit sweet for my taste. it can't come remotely near a draft pint of 'regular' guinness.
