GeekDesk Max review

If we had to guess, we'd bet you're probably sitting down right now. The problem is that sitting down for extended periods of time, all day every day, may be killing us. You may have heard of stand-up desks, and maybe even know someone who works in an office where this is an option. They don't choose these just to be different--the goal is to keep your metabolism, and muscle electrical activity performing optimally. This is where GeekDesk comes in. The company sells two different models of desks that allow the user to stand or sit--the best of both worlds. We received the GeekDesk Max for review, and it just so happens that this feature would turn out to be more than a simple Gear Live gadget review. Sure, sitting down may be killing us, but my story isn't about life expectancy, but rather bad posture and what I referred to as "my pinch" for at least 6 months. Read on for more on that, along with our full GeekDesk Max review.

Inamo restaurant uses E-Table to offer a digital dining experience

Inamo is a futuristic restaurant in the Soho district of London. The fusion of technology, and Asian-inspired interior design makes Inamo a destination restaurant on the bleeding edge of innovation. Inamo’s interactive dining experience is like nothing you've ever seen or tasted before. The illustrated food and drink menus are powered by E-Table technology, and Canon projectors display mouthwatering menu options on the Corian tables. The tables include round preview screens shaped like plates, allowing customers to interact with any menu item before placing an order.

Allowing customers to preview menu options is not the only trick in Inamo’s digital dining bag. Customers can watch the kitchen webcam, change the table background, watch movie trailers from Paramount Pictures UK, browse information about the local community, play games, watch short films, and even call the “I drank too much" taxi, directly from their E-table.

Josh Hartnett’s Steamy Scene Caught on Camera

UPDATE: The Daily Mirror has agreed to pay $30,000 in libel damages over the false story.

Note to actors: Always know where your cameras are.

According to a British newspaper, American star Josh Hartnett recently became the subject of the closed-circuit spotlight.

During his stay at the Soho, the 30 Days of Night actor reportedly “entertained” a group of employees when he brought a mystery woman back to his hotel. The couple somehow managed to miss Hartnett’s suite altogether and opted to take their private matters into the library. Although the curtains were closed, the two were left fully exposed to the room’s cameras.

“This means their every spit and cough was recorded, and cringing hotel workers saw all of Josh’s X-rated moves,” said the Daily Mirror source.
