The JaTiki Mount usurps gravity for your smartphone

October 3, 2012

iPhone 4 with JaTiKi Mount Part “A” (shown in anodized Blue)

The JaTiKi Mount is an innovative, first of its kind, multi-purpose mounting system for the iPhone 4/4s/5 and any other personal electronic device. By incorporating powerful rare earth magnets, 1/4-20 threaded holes, and other CNC machined features into a two-disc mounting system, we have completely eliminated the need to wrap or add unnecessary bulk to the phone itself (like a case). If a phone never falls does it still need protection? We are not saying you will never drop your phone, but chances are drastically diminished with the JaTiKi Mount. Without a case on your phone, the JaTiKi delivers a high level of functionality while staying true to the aesthetics and function of devices such as the iPhone.

Gear by Geeks is one of the featured exhibitors at the DaVinci Inventor Showcase, which takes place on Oct 13, 2012 at the Denver Merchandise Mart. This is your chance to check out the JaTiKi Mount and oodles of other amazing innovations!

ClearShot frees your hands for fantastic phone photos

October 2, 2012

Advanced phone photo taking capabilities are yours with ClearShot.

.

ClearShot was designed to improve smart phone photography. It is an expandable credit card sized stand that acts as a tripod, and is compatible with every smart phone. YES, this includes iPhone 5!

The reason for the ClearShot is simple – everybody wants to take better photos, but nobody wants to carry more stuff. The mini tripod+phone adapter has no place in the pocket of a cell phone photographer. ClearShot is wafer thin measuring only 0.09″ (equal to 3 stacked non-embossed credit cards) and slightly shorter than a standard credit card to ease insertion into a wallet.

The five big lies of inventors: Common misconceptions can cause the best ideas to fall flat

September 19, 2012

.

The DaVinci Inventor Showcase will take place on Oct 13th

The economic downturn has forced us to rethink our lives. For many, this means a time of stepping into the workshop to give shape to ideas that have been waiting for the right opportunity to emerge.

While Hollywood likes to portray inventors as the wacky mad-scientist type, nothing is further from the truth. Inventors may be wired differently, but for the most part they are very dedicated, hard-working individuals bent on making the world a better place.

But in the business world, few things go according to plan. New products are especially prone to commercial failure. Many of the failures stem from common misconceptions that steer us radically off course. Here are five big lies that will give you a more realistic picture of how to make the grade in the world of invention…

First generation of computer programmers to die and skill shortage will leave software vulnerable

September 3, 2012

Where will qualified younger programmers come from when the older generation retires?

T’S a looming crisis not even dreamed of when computers were the new frontier, and all those working on them were young pioneers.

But fast-forward a few decades – and now experts warn that essential systems that control areas like defence and banking are about to be left without qualified people to run them, as the first generation of computer programmers retire and, sadly, die.

Seventy-two-year-old US digital forensic examiner, Robert E Johnston, said that the skills shortage in computer programming carried with it serious consequences…

Meteorite fragments help explain why living things only use molecules with specific orientations

July 25, 2012

This is an artist’s concept of excess left-hand aspartic acid created in asteroids and delivered to Earth via meteorite impacts. The line at the bottom is a chromatogram showing that left-hand aspartic acid (tall peak in the center, with diagram of left-hand aspartic acid molecule on top) was four times more abundant in the meteorite sample than right-hand aspartic acid (smaller peak to the left, with right-handed aspartic acid molecule on top).

Researchers analyzing meteorite fragments that fell on a frozen lake in Canada have developed an explanation for the origin of life’s handedness — why living things only use molecules with specific orientations. The work also gave the strongest evidence to date that liquid water inside an asteroid leads to a strong preference of left-handed over right-handed forms of some common protein amino acids in meteorites. The result makes the search for extraterrestrial life more challenging…

Grope and Pillage TSA infographic

July 25, 2012

Here’s a frightening yet informative graphic by Tony Shin, et al. of Criminal Justice Degree about Transportation Security Administration excesses and oversights. (The full infographic can be viewed after the jump.)

The TSA has been around for the last decade and I’ve never read a positive news article about them. It isn’t that I’m avoiding these articles, its that there just aren’t any. Try it yourself: go to Google News and search for TSA. Some of the most recent articles are titled ‘TSA body scanners’ apparent flaw’ and ‘TSA pats down toddler in wheelchair’. Just a few weeks ago the new full body scanners were proved to be practically useless. This isn’t the first time the TSA has missed the boat either…
