Oddball Tech: Wear your tweets, living networks, Google is your savior, and recycled urine, yum!
You can’t make this stuff up, people. Well, you could probably make this stuff up if you really tried. Nevermind. Anyway, this week on Oddball Tech, you can have a t-shirt that tells everyone you tweet. Why? Because you can. Motorola picks a side in the upcoming humans vs. robots war. Maybe we should have bought KRZRs, huh? Fresh out of the Google labs is “Google Prophecies.” All this and astronauts, too!
Google Maps puts Swine Flu in perspective
With each passing day, many of us are checking ourselves for any flu-like symptoms as the media tells us about a potential pandemic: Swine Flu. A common sneeze now merits a steady stare from passerbys, a cough now garners much more attention. In times like this tech can help. Enter Google Maps.
This user-created Google Map shows a lot of information based on location. The map uses a color coded system to identify suspect cases of H1N1, Swine Flu (in pink), confirmed or probable cases (in Purple) and suspected but negative test results (in yellow). Deaths attributed to the Swine Flu are shown lacking a dot in the marker.
