Garmin GTU 10 GPS Tracker


A Garmin rep told us that this tiny GPS module was initially invented for pet owners to track their furry friends. But we think its small size (think, Bic lighter), long battery life (up to four weeks) and waterproof construction make it suitable for much more. Stuff it in the pocket of a potentially wayward child, pop it in the glovebox as a low-cost LoJack, or hide it in a suitcase full of cash to relive your No Country for Old Men fantasies. Garmin even envisions elite marathon runners carrying one of these, allowing fans to track them as they plow through a course. A Web interface makes it easy to home in on the device’s location. Price: $200.

How To Bypass The Lockcode Screen On IOS 6.1 And Use Anyone’s IPhone

Apple has had a few problems with its latest iPhone and  iPad software update . Released just last month, iOS 6.1 was meant to be a relatively significant update bringing enhanced Siri capabilities, LTE support to more countries, and more iTunes Match features. But it seems as if the update is doing more harm than good. The Verge reports that a new bug, "lets anyone bypass your iPhone password lock and access your  phone app , view or modify contacts, check your  voicemail, and look through your photos (by attempting to add a photo to a contact)." The instructions are pretty simple. First you have to pretend to turn the phone off, then make an aborted  emergency call , then a quick bit of off button and cancel pressing. That boots you into the full  phone app  where you can pretty much call or  message  anyone you like, or edit phone contacts. Besides allowing anyone access to your phone, Apple's latest software update also drains your batte...

Bruisable gadgets heal themselves in the sun

GADGETS of the future could bruise when dropped or scratched to highlight damaged areas. Don’t worry though, as a few minutes in the sun will be enough to fade the bruise and repair the damage. Marek Urban and colleagues at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg were inspired to create their self-healing plastic by signs of healing in nature such as newly formed tree bark.  Earlier self-healing materialsMovie Camera do not change colour and require focused laser light for repairs. This new material turns red when damaged and repairs itself when exposed to visible light or changes in temperature or pH. It can also fix itself multiple times, unlike previous materials.  Like all plastics the new material contains long chains of polymers, except that the chains are linked by small molecular bridges that break and change the plastic’s shape when it is scratched. This shape-change produces the bruise, which disappears when energy from the light enables the b...

One of the technology leaders is the German car firm Audi. Its cars are getting more and more technically advanced and they are showing no signs of slowing things down. Now Audi has announced that it is working on seven new tech-based features, which will eventually make their way into the cars we could buy from the showroom. They are: 1) Audi Wireless Charging: While Audi currently has no electric cars in their showrooms, that will soon change. Like many other companies who are offering or looking to offer electric cars, efficient charging solutions are big on their list. So Audi is co-developing a wireless charging system with WiTricity Corporation from Boston, MS. This system will have a coil-based receiver on the ca...
