iDermal: Man Implants Magnets Into His Skin & Turns iPod Nano Into A Wristwatch (Video)

I don’t know of too many people purchasing ipod nano’s as much anymore with ipads, iphones, & other Apple products dominating lately, but one man may have found a creative purpose for the Apple product that may not work for everybody. Body piercer & tatto artist Dave Hurban claims to be the inventor of the iDermal which would give people a creative way to wear an ipod nano on their arm like a wristwatch by implanting four magnets on their arm. Now that’s extreme as hell. Kinda cool, but most certainly not for me….

Technology: South Korea Opens New ‘Smart’ Schools (Video)

“We already have witnessed how technology and internet revolution have changed the modern day communications. South Korea has gone a step ahead and unveiled a ‘smart’ high school where roll calling is a thing of the past and tablet computers or ‘smart pads’ have replaced bags burdened with notebooks. The prototype ‘smart school’ has technology at its core where students are experiencing the ultimate high-tech education. The government believes that a digital economy will require a technology-savvy workforce, and the new school seems to fit into their motto: Today’s pupils are tomorrow’s pioneers.” –Al Jazeera
