How Apple Is Really Driving Innovation [Video]
If you are a frequent Apple gadget user, you probably have a pretty good idea what Apple's product line looks like. That's usually the case, and with every new keynote they hold, it seems they expand their product line further. But lately their track record has been a little, for lack of a better wo ...

When you have a moment to daydream during the day, do you think about someone special in your private thoughts? If so, you better stay away from these brain researchers because they'll pluck that person right out of your brain and into their data. Yup, as technology continues to progress, it seems s ...
According To Science…Bugs Have Personalities Too
After learning about this today, I may never squash a bug again. I'm not a big bug squasher, but when it comes to roaches and mosquitoes, I'm the first to end their lives. If you would prefer to give them a pretty neat way to end their own lives, you might want to read about the Gauntlet Of Doom. It ...
Tactile Sensation Discovery Makes You Feel Without Actually Feeling
With virtual reality once again in focus, it's hard to avoid thinking about the 4th dimension of entertainment, which is sensory. The ability to feel our way through our environment is one of the most vital aspects of being human. Without sensibility, the world wouldn't be what it is today. Now that ...

First Time A Computer’s Artificial Voice Orders A Pizza [Video]
When we were first introduced to Siri, not many people were overly excited. After all, an artificial voice (or a synthetic one) had been done before. What should have impressed us was really the intelligence behind it. The way we embraced Siri was with a bit of skepticism. Making a computer talk lik ...
SpiroSmart: The Simple App Some Doctors Use To Monitor Lung Health
Every day it seems we write about how technology enhances our lives in every way. Unless you're living in a forest somewhere deep in the woods, chances are, technology affects your life in more ways than you may realize. One aspect of that which I don't think we write about enough is what happens at ...
Humanoid Robot Boy Expresses Emotions & Develops Relationships
A while back, an article was published on Discovery's Robotics and Artificial Intelligence webpage called 10 Human Traits We'd Like To See In Future Robots. I'm happy (I think) to say that a new humanoid robot boy recently born at the University of California, San Diego has many of these human trait ...

If you want 2013 to be your best year yet, which I'm sure you do, you probably set some goals for yourself. In order to achieve those goals, you are most likely willing to use whatever tools are at your disposal, right? You could even take it one step further and get "future you" committed to your g ...

Nielsen Study: We Really Like To Toilet Tweet (You Can Admit It)
I have two habits (which some people think are strange) when it comes to social media, and almost every time I write about them, someone inevitably leaves a comment or sends me a tweet to say I'm weird. One of those is that I tweet from the toilet a lot (otherwise known as toilet tweeting), and the ...
The WITCH Is Back: 61-Year-Old Computer Alive & Well
In today’s world of mobile computing with devices that fit in your pocket, the notion that the first computers ever made occupied entire rooms and weighed several tonnes is hard to remember. It seems almost ridiculous too. Weren’t they just in the imagination of Hollywood producers of B-grade scienc ...

Mind-Blowing Facts That Will Make You Use Email Again [Infographic]
I am the first one to admit that I don't use email as much as I used to do. We here at Bit Rebels have found alternate ways to get instant replies from each other and communicate with our clients faster (and of course everyone we do business with). There is still that element of email in our workday ...

Find Out Which Country Uses The Internet Best [Infographic]
You gotta love research like this because it really puts thing into perspective. Google recently paid a million dollars to fund a study to determine which country uses the Internet best.

Visual Information & How It Affects Website Traffic [Infographic]
It's easy to feel completely stupid after a class or a presentation where someone has been talking for one and a half hours or more. The classic trend is that you probably don't remember half of what was said. Don't worry, you are not alone feeling in this way. Everyone is not born with a memory tha ...

Most Popular Link Sources Shared On Twitter [Infographic]
I have been on Twitter for over 4 years now I think. For me, it started out with a few tweets to a couple of friends for a few days. After that, I started looking at what other people were doing. That's when I really started to grasp the enormity of what Twitter had to offer. Back in the day, sharin ...
