The system uses the “Henry Law” which states that the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid is proportional to the pressure on the liquid. Raise the pressure – more gas can be dissolved in the liquid. Decrease the pressure – gas dissolved in the liquid releases the gas. This is exactly what happens when you open a can of soda; carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid and is under pressure in the can. Open the can, releasing the pressure, and the gas fizzes out.
Alan Izhar-Bodner, an Israeli inventor, has developed a way for divers to breathe underwater without cumbersome oxygen tanks. His apparatus makes use of
the air that is dissolved in water, just like fish do.

Check out these two keyboards. The first is a label-less keyboard with individually weighted keys, which is good if you have a bad case of carpal.

The second is if you’re on the move, just stash it in your pocket, and pull it out when you need it. It’s made out of cloth so you can just roll it up when you’re done.

How does a b-blog differ from a bulletin board or chat room? A b-blog will typically have an individual who acts as monitor and uses the blog as a way to communicate knowledge to colleagues, customers, partners, and other interested parties.

A draft bill seen by CNET News.com marks the boldest political effort to date by record labels and movie studios to disrupt peer-to-peer networks that they view as an increasingly dire threat to their bottom line. Sponsored by Reps. Howard Berman, D-Calif., and Howard Coble, R-N.C., the measure would permit copyright holders to perform nearly unchecked electronic hacking if they have a “reasonable basis” to believe that piracy is taking place.

Think of what some of the best bloggers could do if they were financially able to do focused, full-time blogging? Pick a topic you’re interested in, now imagine someone had 40 hours per week to cover everything related to that topic, and you get the idea.
