It’s hard to keep up with technology and before you hear about it, the next best thing is it is already out. Well I really appreciate the determination of some people who try to experiment and invent worthy stuffs which change the way we live our lives. Practically speaking all inventions started of being a weird application with no use. But, as the old saying goes, “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”, people are not satisfied with the presenttechnology and want to uproot more of what they invented. Its invention and only invention which makes our world move at this pace. It fuels the growth towards a more hi-tech environment. Let us take a look at few of the inventor’s effort which has made it possible to come out with marvelous inventionsjust from a scratch idea. Here it goes Medical Mirror This is definitely a masterpiece of 2011 and the man behind it is an electrical and medical-engineering graduate, Mr. Ming Zher Poh from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The software is designed in such way as to capture the reflections from your face and seek out for vital signs on your face and then relate it to your heart beat. It also helps people with cardiovascular problem to control their cardiac health. All you need to do is, just stand in front of your mirror and Whack!!! You have your heart rate displayed over your reflection. The Print Brush This is probably the colorful invention of all and almost took him 11 years to come out with this. This little device which fits in your palm is capable of printing on any surfaces. All you need is to connect this device to your laptopcomputer and just see it do wonders. Amazed? Okay, here it is on how it goes. The device uploads pictures and text documents from your laptop and prints it on any surface – be it paper, wood, plastic or fabric. This device was invented by Alex Breton, a Swedish Engineer. Martin Jet Pack A human being’s desire has no bounds. He wanted to swim like a fish, he invented submarines. He wanted to fly like a bird high in the sky, he invented airplanes. Well that was not enough for him and now he wants to move out from place to place like insects. Thanks to Glenn Martin who came out with this magnificent invention which has been scheduled to release this year. It’s a good news for all the travel freaks out there. This jet pack can make you hover at ease and go places at your ease without having to book tickets. This device still needs work to be done and hope you have already booked one for you. 3D-TVs and this time without the glasses Just imagine how it feels it to watch a 3D movie on your home TV without those annoying, heavy and expensiveglasses. Worth the entertainment, right. Well, thanks to those few people who already have given a thought on this earlier and are all set to give out this technology into the market. This is sure to change the way digital media is displayed forever. Thanks to the team from Toshiba who worked behind this amazing project. Though the demand is estimated to be low initially during its launch, Toshiba is confident of this TV becoming a new standard for TVs in the near future. Driverless Car Well, Google has actually come with a car which can drive on its own. Can you believe it? Well, even I was astounded for some time. True, Google has made use of a specially designed Toyota Prius for this wonderful invention. The sensor on the top of the car uses artificially intelligent software that senses what is around the car and responds to a given situation the same way a human does. Brilliant isn’t it?

Lost in translations! www.drmobiles.co.nz, Auckland, New Zealand. 095515344
“Unsatisfactory” is the word that best describes the contemporary debate Many companies made attempts to bridge this gap oflanguage through translations which turned out to be funny. Let’s have a look:
- English Translations made by Japanese firm that were added to labels to increase prestige for their products being sold in China.
Product English Translation
Equivalent to Japanese Spam–> Liver Putty
Toilet Paper–> My Fanny Brand
Ready to Eat Pancakes–>Strawberry Crap Dessert
Antifreeze Spray–> Hot Piss Brand
Pediatrician’s Slogan–>Specialist in Deceased Children
- Frank Perdue’s chicken slogan, “It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken” was translated into Spanish as “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate.”
- When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” The company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!”
- When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its “Fly in Leather” campaign literally, which meant “Fly Naked” (vuela en cuero) in Spanish!
- These are the nominees for the Chevy Nova Award. This is given out in honor of GM’s fiasco in trying to market this car in Central and S. America. “No va” means, of course, in Spanish, “it doesn’t go.”
- The Dairy Association’s huge success with the campaign “Got Milk?” prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention that the Spanish translation read “Are you lactating?”
- Coors put its slogan, “Turn it loose,” into Spanish, where it was read as “Suffer from Diarrhea.”
- Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.”
- Clairol introduced the “Mist Stick”, a curling iron, into Germany, only to find out that “mist” is slang for “manure.” Not too many people had use for the “Manure Stick.”
- When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling babyon the label. Later they learnt that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what’s inside, since many people can’t read.
- Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called “Cue”, the name of a notorious porno magazine.
- An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market, which promoted the Pope’s visit. Instead of “I saw the Pope” (el Papa) , the shirts read “ I saw the Potato.” (la papa) .
- Pepsi’s “Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation” translated into “Pepsi Brings your Ancestors Back From the Grave”, in Chinese.
- The Coca Cola name in China was first read as “Kekoukela”, meaning “Bite the Wax Tadpole” or “Female Horse Stuffed with Wax”, depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent “Kokou Kole”, translating into “Happiness in the Mouth.”
With rising competition and to survive the competition, it has become extremely important for companies to cross borders but lack of knowledge and information about other country’s culture, rituals, habits, people, rules and regulation entering a alien land can be dangerous. Such fractured translation is one of the consequences of lack of research and preparation.
Hence proper research and help from local people is needed, though it’s a time consuming process but precaution is always better than the cure.

Used Apple iPhone 4 16GB sold, July 2010
The other silly thing to do us to buy from online bidding sites. Most have dubious origin if not questionable. Neither you or the seller know the prior history if those "cheap iPhone 4" like impact damage, faulty signal chip, dead WiFi on the iPhone 4, etc.
Most buyer suffered as a result of greed.
