While you’re sitting at your computer and don’t have anything better to do, you might as well whiten your teeth.  It might save those of you that are coffee addicts from having slightly yellow teeth.  It’d also be great for smokers out there or pretty much anyone who is just looking a little yellow.  The strong blue light will make you bright white and shiny in no time at all.

It works by using a strong blue light that activates the whitening gel and oxidizes the pigment of the teeth through dentin tubes.  The whole process takes about 30 minutes.  It’s a much more in depth process than the usual methods like special toothpaste and gooey treatments you put on at night.  Which is why the price tag is just a touch higher.    By a touch I mean it will cost you $410.70 from UxSight, so it’s slightly more than a touch.

Do you like to stand out from the crowd with your fashion sense (or basically being an early adopter of anything and everything tech)? If so, why not consider some timepieces from the folks at TokyoFlash – after all, they have a delectable collection of watches that might require more than the two brain cells needed to tell the time, and the latest watch from TokyoFlash would be the Nekura Scramble. It comes with an always-on LCD display alongside a row of embedded LED lights below which changes colors. Large blocks on the left and right represent the hours as they light up in a clockwise manner, while the row down the middle tells the current minute (in five minute increments) with the quartet of tiny lines at the top middle representing single minutes. You will be able to opt from any of the half dozen colors it is capable of displaying, while the less decisive person can always cycle through all the colors instead. Pick up the Nekura Scramble at a discounted price of $76.58 for a limited time only.

The Symbian Foundation announced that its popular operating system is going open source now, meaning that any organisation can now use and modify  the code ”for any purpose”. The group announced this plan in 2008 and has accomplished the move at the present.

“This is the largest open source migration effort ever,” Lee Williams of the Symbian Foundation told BBC News. According to him, they already executed the ideas 12-18 months before Android and before the launch of the original iPhone.

Press release:

The Symbian Foundation offers free code to everyone to enable them to contribute openly to the future of mobile

SAN FRANCISCO, US, and LONDON, UK, 4 February, 2010 – The Symbian Foundation today completed the open source release of the source code for the world’s most widely-used smartphone platform. The Symbian platform, which has been developed over more than 10 years and has shipped in more than 330 million devices around the world, is now completely open and the source code is available for free. The transition of this market-leading platform from proprietary code to open source is the largest in software history. The move has been completed four months ahead of schedule and provides the basis for unlimited mobile development based on innovation and openness.

Any individual or organization can now take, use and modify the code for any purpose, whether that be for a mobile device or for something else entirely. This strategic move provides the Symbian ecosystem with greater potential for innovation, faster time-to-market and the opportunity to develop on the platform for free. Symbian’s commitment to openness also includes complete transparency in future plans, including the publication of the platform roadmap and planned features up to and including 2011. Anyone can now influence the roadmap and contribute new features.

Lee Williams, Executive Director of the Symbian Foundation, comments: “The development community is now empowered to shape the future of the mobile industry, and rapid innovation on a global scale will be the result. When the Symbian Foundation was created, we set the target of completing the open source release of the platform by mid-2010 and it’s because of the extraordinary commitment and dedication from our staff and our member companies that we’ve reached it well ahead of schedule.”

IDC Analyst John Delaney remarks: “It’s increasingly important for smartphone platforms to offer developers something unique. The placing into open source of the world’s most widely-used smartphone platform emphatically fits that bill. It will be exciting to see where this takes the industry.”

All 108 packages containing the source code of the Symbian platform can now be downloaded from Symbian’s developer web site (tiny.symbian.org/open), under the terms of the Eclipse Public License and other open source licenses. Also available for download are the complete development kits for creating applications (the Symbian Developer Kit) and mobile devices (the Product Development Kit). These kits are compatible with Symbian^3, the very latest version of the platform, which is now fully open source and will be “feature complete” during Q1 of this year.
