The cold weather has now returned. This means cold fingers, especially when your mobile rings or when you need to reply to an e-mail on your iPad. But it doesn’t have to be like that!
Sandberg’s new Touch Screen Gloves are stylish, woven gloves with conductive fibres stitched into the lining of the fingertips. These fibres conduct electricity and, like the skin on your fingers, can provide the induction needed to operate a touchscreen.
In other words, you can keep your gloves on when using your mobile. So you can stay warm and in touch at the same time.

Kodak to file for bankruptcy says WSJ
Veteran film company Eastman Kodak is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy protection according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The company has been trying to sell off a raft of imaging patents to raise cash with the company earlier warning that it would be unable to survive if it couldn’t raise $500 million either by credit or selling off patents.
If the company fails it will be a sad end for the 131-year-old film pioneer that once invented the digital camera. That said, Kodak never managed to successfully move the business to digital, instead choosing to focus on chemicals for traditional photography.

Quanta fired a legal broadside at AMD, accusing the company of civil fraud, breach of warranty and a host of other civil claims in addition to the central claim that the company sold faulty chips to Quanta.
