Future development of MP3 players...

Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman's breast implants. One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person's whole music collection.

BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years.BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

According to The Sun he said: "It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful." The sensors around the body linked through the electrical impulses in the chips may also be able to warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer.

Maya writing

I'm deeply interested in old writing systems. I've read several books on Egyptian hieroglyps and it's fascinating. I will post more on Egyptian glyphs in the near future. But after I've found a nice little book on Maya writing in a second-hand bookstore my new interest besides Egyptian glyps is the Maya writingsystem. The book from Morley I've found describes the Maya calendar and numerical system of date and time. It's a nice introduction. But if you want to know more, especially on Maya kings, rulers, gods and deities you need to search further. The first thing I do after getting excited on a book is searching the net for other sources on the subject; and I've found it. A very good site on Maya writing can be found here
