Is effort a myth? 20567

People really want to believe effort is a myth, at least if we consider what we consume in the media: politicians and beauty queens who get by on a smile and a wink, lottery winners who turn a lifetime of lousy jobs into one big payday, sports stars who are born with skills we could never hope to acquire, hollywood celebrities with the talent of being in the right place at the right time, failed CEOs with $40 million buyouts. It really seems (at least if you read popular media) that who you know and whether you get 'picked' are the two keys to success. Luck. More →

Just stick your finger in this box and the magic begins

The so-called Tuttuki Bako, Tuttuki Box, features a display that shows a digital replica of your finger once you put it into the hole in the right side of the device and start moving. Users can then play with a panda bear or a small figure, explore a virtual lake and touch a girls face or a slime ball. More →

Iran's biggest motor manufacturer is to take the country's gender sensitivity to new levels by producing a car specially for women. It will be fitted with features common on the international market but seen as female-specific in Iran's male-dominated culture. These include an automatic gearbox, electronic parking aids, a navigation system and a jack designed to make it easier to change a wheel. More →
