The Era Of Eyewear Tech Beckons<br />
If you’ve watched Mission: Impossible<br />
– The Ghost Protocol, you’ll remember the scene where launch<br />
codes for a nuclear missile were photographed by Jeremy<br />
Renner’s character using a pair of contact lenses, and the mere<br />
blink of an eye. That could be a reality sooner rather than later<br />
with Sony filing a patent for this very technology. Although<br />
nowhere close to production, this is a stark reminder that<br />
yesterday’s science fiction is most definitely today’s technology.<br />
BITCOIN’S FOUNDER UNMASKED?<br />
Craig White<br />
Australian entrepreneur Craig<br />
Steven Wright is reportedly the man<br />
behind Bitcoin. He has come out as<br />
Satoshi Nakamoto, the name used<br />
by the person who invented the<br />
cryptocurrency, who is also worth<br />
around $450 million. While he has<br />
provided sufficient cryptographic proof to make his claim seem<br />
credible, many remain skeptical, with multiple security researchers<br />
calling him a hoax. The mystery continues…<br />
MEET THE PEOPLE YOU<br />
CROSS PATHS WITH<br />
Happn<br />
Gone are the days where you<br />
wish you had the guts to strike<br />
up conversation with that cute<br />
guy or gal you passed on the<br />
street. Happn is a mobile app that<br />
helps you discover and connect<br />
with the people the moment<br />
your paths cross—in the street,<br />
at work, at a party… Every time<br />
you cross paths with a Happn<br />
member, their profile appears on<br />
your app in real-time, as well as<br />
the time and location of your last<br />
encounter. A conversation can<br />
then be started if both of you like<br />
each other in-app. Happn favours<br />
everyday coincidences, giving<br />
you a second chance at a first<br />
encounter.<br />
Happn is available for free<br />
download on the App Store and<br />
Google Play.<br />
THE WORLD’S FIRST PERSONAL<br />
AIR CONDITIONER<br />
Evapolar<br />
All those times you wished for air conditioning<br />
in places hot as hell have not been in vain. Meet<br />
Evapolar—a compact air conditioner you can take<br />
anywhere. Harnessing the power of a revolutionary<br />
evaporative nanomaterial previously researched<br />
for Russian military tech, it creates a perfect local<br />
microclimate by cooling, humidifying and purifying<br />
the air around you. It emulates the gentle process<br />
of temperature reduction in nature instead of the<br />
inefficient emission of a blast of cold wind. Enjoy<br />
ultimate comfort exactly where and when you need it.<br />
