TwitterA new, small prototype called Nano-Touch has seen the light of day, and it may be a small revolution. Earlier when we did touch screens, so they usually ended up being larger than normal screens, they would replace. Which of course is not as useful when you now want to have the electronic gadgets in his jacket pocket.The problem was that my fingers ended up shadowing the entire screen, making it difficult to hit the small icons accurately, especially if one of nature’s hand was fitted with lumberjack hands.But the problem should be solved now. Nano Touch has moved the pressure-sensitive portion of the screen away from the display and on to the back.

December 5th, 2008 admin The 5,000-year-old Tyrolean iceman may have used bog moss as a prehistoric wound dressing, according to a new analysis of his body’s remains.From Wired Science:Suffering from an arrow wound and a deep cut to the right hand, the iceman, known as Ötzi, may have engaged in some ancient first aid using the moss, a well-known wound dressing used as recently as the 20th century.”If he knew of the useful properties of bog mosses, as seems entirely plausible, then he may have gathered some to staunch the wound or wounds,” wrote James Dickson, an archaeobotanist at the University of Glasgow, and his team in the journal Vegetation History and Archaeobotany. “Tiny pieces could well have stuck to the blood drying on his fingers and then he accidentally ingested some of them when next eating meat or bread as we know he did during his last few days.”Read more ….
