Google Facial Recognition

On the surface, it operates pretty much identically to Facebook's facial recognition technology, Photo Tag Suggest. Find My Face scans users' and their friends' photos for recognizable faces, and suggests nametags for the faces by matching them with users' profile photos and other tagged photos on the social network. I think this is a neat idea, but it could be bad for people who do not wish to be pointed out.

The Powerbag

The powerbag is a bag designed for a person to carry and be able to charge their electronics in on the go. The bag can go for more than a week at a time retaining most of its charge. On a single charge, it can completely fill about two small gadgets -- a phone and iPod, for example. The bag includes three standard-size cords, including one that works with iPhones and iPods, and another that charges BlackBerrys, Mi-Fis and many Android phones. An iPod can be tucked into one zippered pocket while a BlackBerry can go into another, each filling with juice simultaneously.There's a conspicuous button on the front of the bag for checking the battery's charge status. The Messenger Powerbag costs about $140, same as the backpack, and is sold at some big electronics and office supply stores, including Best Buy and Office Max. RFA also produces bags with bigger batteries for about $40 more. I think this is a really neat thing for when you do not have your chrager on you or time to sit at one place while your waiting for your phone or gadget to charge.
