Sony will also make a number of games available exclusively for downloading via the PLAYSTATION Network, including Tekken: Dark Resurrection and Gran Turismo HD Concept.

We've all been there. You've just brewed yourself a steaming cup of liquid Loveliness, you get back to your desk to a flurry of urgent emails and by the time you've averted all manner of minor disasters like the superhuman workhorse that you are, your cup of steaming refreshment is stone cold.

Hydrabrush Express

If you’ve gone to the dentist in the last 10 years, you’ve probably been told that for the best results when brushing you should use an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes twice a day. Some people follow that regimen exactly, but for the lazy people in the world, 2 minutes is just a bit to long to spend brushing your teeth. Now, how does 40 seconds sound? Well, you really have no excuse for not brushing your teeth properly if you own the toothbrush that will give you a complete, thorough brush in 40 seconds.

Unlike those regular brushes, the Hydrabrush boasts a total of 8 different micro brushes that completely surround your teeth and gums. Because of that, you can get a perfect brush in a mere 40 seconds instead of standard 2 minutes. Another advantage, which I’ve already mentioned, is that the Hydrabrush helps cleans your gums, something that people generally neglect. And to help you transition into using the Hydrabrush, the package includes two sets of bristles, an ultra soft version for gentle gums and a regular bristle set for those with regular gums. While this is definitely a cool gadget, I’m not sure if a dentist would recommend it, but who knows, maybe it even does a better job that regular brushes. I’d be surprised if it did though.

The Hydrabrush isn’t a concept design, it’s available for purchase right this very moment, you’ll just have to hand over $100 for the opportunity. Yep, that’s a little more expensive than those cheap tooth brushes you pick up at the store. But come on, think of the time you’ll save! To be exact: 160 seconds a day, or about 16 hours every year.

Biometric ATM

Considering all the ATM hacking that's been going on of late, it's not all that surprising to see those "uber-secure" fingerprint readers hitting mini-banks in Japan and Columbia, and now a pilot program is getting set to install 15 biometric ATMs at "village kiosks in five districts across southern India." The fingerprint-reading machines are expected to serve around 100,000 workers, primarily farmers and other laborers, who will finally be able to withdraw funds directly from a machine rather than suffering through the corrupt hand-me-down process that often steals money away from already poor workers. AGS Infotech, who is supplying the first batch of systems for the trial, is interested in seeing if the system actually works out, as many villagers have trouble interacting with any type of computing interface, and because many villages have their own dialects, making a UI that can communicate to everyone is difficult. Of course, there are individuals who suggest that these systems will only incite crime, as thieves look to new methods (read: hacking a thumb or two) to extract funds, but proponents of the system say that this is no different than armed criminals forcing someone to give up their PIN number at gunpoint. Nevertheless, the trial is slated to start soon, and there's quite a few outsiders watching intently to gauge its eventual success or failure, as analysts predict that "over 100,000 ATMs" could be necessary to handle India's booming economy in the next few years.
