	<description>Orginal Signal aggregates the 15 most popular gadget sites. The main purpose of the site is to provide 
a quick glance on what's happening without using your desktop/web RSS reader. New headlines (since your 
last cookied visit) come in pretty orange, visited ones are grey. All credits go to the authors of these weblogs. 
Without their hard work Original Signal would not exist. Original Signal was inspired by Popurls and the Web 2.0 Workgroup.</description>

  We all know texting while driving is a deadly combination, yet who can resist the siren song of that new-message ding? I'll admit it's tough not to steal a glance at the phone--and once you're glancing, you're reading.Most owners of Android-powered smartphones know about Google Voice Actions, which, among other things, allows you to dictate text messages using just your voice.However, there's still a bit of screen interaction required, as you have to find and tap the microphone to engage Voice Actions. And what about messages you receive? There's no hands-free help there.Sonalight&#39;s Text by Voice offers hands-free text messaging--both sending and receiving.(Credit:Sonalight)Enter Text by Voice, an admirably effective app that makes texting a totally hands-free experience. With it you can send and listen to messages without so much as touching your phone. It's entirely voice-powered.As the above demonstration video, er, demonstrates, Text by Voice requires zero interaction with your phone (save for launching the app before yo...

  <content:encoded><![CDATA[
   Scientists from the Scripps Research Institute and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have taken biological computing one step further, with a new molecular machine capable of decoding images stored on a DNA chip. Though it's referred to as a "biological computer," the researchers' machine isn't much like a CPU at all -- unless your CPU was manufactured in a test tube filled with a smoothie of DNA molecules, enzymes and ATP. Once they found the right mix, the team proceeded to encrypt images on a DNA chip and used their Turing machine-like creation to decode them, with fluorescent stains helping to track its progress. The above image, read from left to right, gives a more literal idea of what the system can do -- basically, it takes a hidden image and extracts a given sequence. Storing data on DNA isn't anything new, but decrypting said data in this fashion apparently is. The applications for this kind of organic computing remain a bit fuzzy, but it's pretty clear that whatever follows probably won't look anything like a typical computer. The team's findings were recently published in a paper for the journal Angewandte Chemie, the abstract for which is linked below. For a slightly more readable explanation, check out the full press release after the break.

  Ever since Microsoft decided Windows 8 will support ARM-based CPUs, many wondered if that meant the traditional desktop experience would be supported as well. And if so, what about all the legacy apps developed for x86 CPUs? Windows 8 boss Steven Sinofsky has spoken. Yes, desktop mode is coming, but the old apps aren't.More&nbsp;&raquo;      ]]></content:encoded>

  Things that always amuse the heck out of me: tiny, shrunken, miniaturized, small, microscopic, itty bitty, teeny things. Those smart cars? Makes me chuckle every time I see them. The HP Veer? Brings a smile to my face. That candy Nerds? I inhale 'em. The little person (dwarf? midget?) on Game of Thrones? Hilarious! If you can make something tinier, I'm always for it. So this Edimax Wireless N USB Adapter for 10 bucks is wonderful in my book because it's just so dang small. Our editorial programmer Chris Beidelman tells me you can HACK that tiny thing too. In his words, "the chipset supports packet injection, which means you can load up backtrack and hack some Wi-Fis. It's perfect for penetration testing.

  Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and the majority of us are likely scrambling to find that special gift. (The rest of us, meanwhile, are cursing couples.) A Valentine's Day gift is usually more important than others because it's a one-on-one situation, unlike Christmas or birthdays. Just one gift, to just one person &#8212; and it better be good.With that in mind, I'd like to address an article out of AllThingsD this morning that sourced information from PriceGrabber's Valentine's Day Dashboard Report. The report took information from February 4 through February 5, finding that various tablets, TVs and phones are hot items for gift-crazed Valentines.The information itself isn't that intriguing, but it did get me thinking about handing out gadgetry as a gift.  ]]></content:encoded>

  It wouldn't be a proper G-Form product release without the accompanying outlandish promotional video. So, when the company offered up its new iPhone 4/4S case, it made its way to an empty ice skating rink, grabbed a hockey stick and went to town, showing how the thing holds up to the punishment of an 82 mph slapshot. The case incorporates the company's favorite shock absorbing substance, Poron XRD and comes in two styles: X Protect and Extreme Grid. They'll run you $40 each, when they ship at the end of the month -- the video below, on the other hand, is free.Continue reading G-Form pulls a hat-trick with iPhone case hockey videoG-Form pulls a hat-trick with iPhone case hockey video originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:57:00 EDT.

  If you want to make sure that your next car features Ford SYNC, it&#8217;s going to be easier to find on cares within the next few years. Today Ford announced that its SYNC technology will be available as standard equipment for its Ford Fusion and Flex – on all trim levels. With more states supporting the ban on driving and texting, getting a hands-free solution integrated with the car sounds like a pretty good idea.In case you aren&#8217;t familiar with SYNC, it is a technology from Ford that enables hand-free use of your mobile phone via a simple and reliable voice control system. All you need is a compatible phone which you can connect to the car through a USB port or wirelessly with Bluetooth. Ford expects to have 9 million more SYNC-powered vehicles on the road over the next three years.By Ubergizmo.
