One quarter said they would feel completely disconnected. Interestingly, Gen X women (females aged 35-44) led all other gender and age groups with nearly a third saying they’d feel completely disconnected. Conversely, 25-34 year-old men lead the response category “Yes! Please disconnect me, I need the break!” with 16.6 percent of respondents feeling they’re too connected.

The move comes as the three companies try to keep pace in the intensely competitive smartphone market, which this week will see Apple Inc roll out its much anticipated iPhone 4 on five continents. Verizon Wireless, the biggest U.S. mobile provider, said the Droid X phone will go on sale July 15 for $199.99 after a $100 rebate to customers signing a two-year contract.

Augmented reality — in which real-world images are overlaid with useful data, information or rich content — is set to be one of the big success stories of 2010. Some experts even expect the technology to filter down to the world of video games, and that’s what Parrot’s drone was designed to showcase.

 This is not your ordinary keyboard. The difference of the Optimus Tactus includes: no physical keys, has programmable keyboard surface, and can be switched from typing mode to video mode. Amazing, isn’t it?

Hybrid technology has come to computers but it doesn’t mean your laptop will now run on hydrogen.
Lenovo’s innovative ‘hybrid’ device is actually two gadgets in one — a notebook that looks much like a conventional laptop computer, except that it has a detachable screen, which doubles as its own separate tablet computer.

KT, a company partnered with Apple to sell iPhones in South Korea, revealed its plans to begin selling the 4G iPhone as early as April.

The Cell Processor-powered 3D HDTV from Toshiba has just about every feature you could ever imagine, and on top of that, the picture quality (colors, black levels, clarity) is extremely impressive. Arguably though, the most talked about feature of the Cell TV was the real-time 2D-to-3D conversion that the set is capable of doing, regardless of the input content (home video, pictures, movies, video games).

Want to keep track of your appointments, to-do lists, and contacts in a techie way? Then, this is the gadget for you. Microsoft announced the development of its Courier Tablet last week and leaked videos show how the new interface will function.The heart for the Microsoft Courier  seems to be the infinite journal which is only bound by the storage constraints of the device

This will be the e-reader to own in 2010. The flat body reaches almost sci-fi-like thinness, and because the 11.6-inch screen has touch capability, the bezel is entirely free of buttons except for “home,” just like an iPhone or iPod Touch.

When Apple introduced the iPhone, it shook up the cell phone business. Now, with the looming launch of a tablet-style computer, that definately means a new era for gadgetiers. It’s a tablet computer that can surf the

The Light Touch from Light Blue Optics is a marvel — it can beam a virtual computer on to any flat surface, allowing users to tap away as though on a proper keyboard. It’s not commercially available — the Cambridge-based company is hoping to license the technology to other manufacturers —

Recently scientists demonstrated a small-scale prototype of a rocket with an engine that uses charged particles. With their latest invention researchers hope in the near future to build rockets that could carry out fast missions to the red planet. In addition, the ion engine might help maintain the orbit of the ISS over the next 5 years.
Scientists from Ad Astra Rocket Company of Webster, Texas, have been improving their latest invention, called VASIMR (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) since 2005. Their engine takes advantage of radio waves in order to heat argon gas, thus transforming it into hot plasma. Then magnetic fields shoot the superheated plasma out of the rocket's engine, generating thrust in the opposite direction.
The propellant is shot out at a higher speed compared to engines used today, thus creating more acceleration per kilogram of fuel burnt. Soon scientists look forward to use a 200-kilowatt VASIMR engine to make periodic boosts to the ISS orbit.
Recently the team for the first time tested their latest invention at full power in a vacuum chamber in Houston. Researchers ran the VX-200 engine at 201 kilowatts, for the first time being able to exceed the 200-kilowatt mark. "It's the most powerful plasma rocket in the world right now," outlined Franklin Chang-Diaz, head of Ad Astra Rocket Company and former NASA astronaut.
The company signed an agreement with NASA to carry out trials of its 200-kilowatt VASIMR engine on the International Space Station in 2013. Ad Astra Rocket Company is also in talks with SpaceX and Orbital Sciences, regarding the possibility of bringing their latest invention to the ISS on one of the launch vehicles. In case the tests prove to be successful, the company will be able to perform commercial flights to the ISS starting with 2010.
The latest invention from Ad Astra Rocket Company would allow bringing humans to the red planet in just 39 days. It is worth mentioning that using conventional engines it might take about 6 months to perform the same mission. It is also possible that future trips to Mars would be profitable for the company. More information about the project is available here.

A team of engineers from North Carolina State University, led by Jagdish "Jay" Narayan, director of the National Science Foundation Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures, managed to develop a finger-nail size chip that can store one terabyte of information. Their latest invention is a nanostructured Ni-MgO System with a capacity of 20 HD DVDs.
At the nanoscale level, the university researchers added metal nickel to magnesium oxide. The material they received featured clusters of nickel atoms that measured less than 10 sq nm; for comparison - a pinhead has 1 million nm in diameter.
With their latest invention, engineers managed to cut the size of the chip by 90 percent. In addition, the new process, called selective doping, could also help boost fuel economy in cars and lead to more efficient production of energy through a significantly reduction of the heat generated by semiconductors, reports ComputerWorld.
The method of selective doping involves the adding of an impurity to a material with consequently changing properties. It would make it possible to create a new generation of ceramic engines that could resist twice the temperatures of conventional engines. According to Narayan, engines might show a fuel economy of 80 miles per gallon

The Noteput includes a tabletop screen that shows a set of staves as soon as a physical tremble clef is put on it. After that the user can place several physical notes on the screen with the value of the note shown at the bottom of the display. When the user places the physical notes on the screen and pushes the play button, these notes start playing. Thus children can learn much more effectively the music theory, being provided both visual and audio cues.
During play the notes can be replaced, which would change the melody on the spot. The Noteput also offers the possibility to hear the sounds of different instruments, including piano, guitar, flute, vibraphone and e-piano.
The designers cut the notes out of thin wood plates. It is worth mentioning that the differentiation between the duration of a note was made using lead balls. Heavier notes sound longer while the lighter ones shorter.
To be visible by the camera incorporated in the table, the notes feature a unique marker on their back. The camera identifies the marker and can define the length of the respective note as well as its position on the staves.

With their latest invention there will be no need for a camera crew, which would allow broadcasters to cover the games more economically.
The software is called the Autonomous Production of Images based on Distributed and Intelligent Sensing (APIDIS). It is worth mentioning that the system collects the video stream from several video cameras.
The software allows cameras to track both the ball and the players simultaneously, estimating which camera captures a more detailed picture, reports New Scientist.
One interesting thing about this invention is that it can be adjusted according to viewers' demands. For instance, the APIDIS can track certain players. The system has already been tested on a number of basketball matches. Scientists decided to choose basketball due to the game's fast pace. According to De Vleeschouwer, the APIDIS caught the attention of US sport broadcaster ESPN.

IBM's latest invention is a new cooling system that consumes 40 percent less energy compared to air-cooled system used in most machines. In addition, the direct usage of waste heat in the heating system of the building is an equivalent of 85 percent cut in CO2 emissions.
The IBM's latest invention was developed as part of the company's initiative to develop new technologies that would help solve business problems.
Although the idea of using warm water for cooling might sound strange, the testing results are quite promising. It was discovered that warm water allows the processors of the supercomputer to work properly well below the highest point of allowed operating temperature. According to the developers, the new system cools processors "4,000 times more efficiently than air", reports Gizmag.
During the high performance LINPACK benchmark testing, the new supercomputer managed to reach a performance of 6 teraflops, with the level of energy efficiency being around 450 megaflops per watt. It also gave back about 9 kilowatts of thermal power to the heating system of the Institute.

Due to a number of important breakthroughs in the field of science and technology made it possible for New Energy Technologies to come up with its latest invention - the world's first glass window that can produce electricity.
The company was able to develop a glass window able to generate power using the world's smallest working organic solar cells.
It is worth mentioning that these organic solar cells were created by Dr. Xiaomei Jiang at the University of South Florida, reports GreenDiary.
In contrast to the conventional solar systems, the solar cells developed by New Energy Technologies can produce power from both natural and artificial sources of light. These solar cells show a 10 times better performance than the solar and thin-film technologies used today.
