Nokia Observation Camera can help you watch your office/home or kids, it can send images to any MMS(Multimedia Messaging Service)-capable, user-defined mobile phone or email address, or it can be programmed to take images automatically at a designated time interval.
It can also capture and send images when triggered by a motion sensor.
The thermometer feature lets you know if the temperature goes out of a set range. Its too hot in my home right now hmm :-)
It can be controlled with text messages (send me current picture or what is the current room temprature), or by PC configuration.

1) The ThermoJet printer outside of Scott Campbell's office looks like a big Xerox machine, although at $49,000, it's a bit pricier. But instead of cranking out color prints, the ThermoJet produces 3-D wax models of car parts and body designs for the Penske Racing NASCAR team, headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina.
2) Rather than fall victim to simple viruses, the Linux servers in Dr. Richard Ho's labs are supposed to contract more serious diseases.
3) Nagui Halim believes that there are few constants in the world of computing. Chips get faster and more powerful, storage gets cheaper, and communications bandwidth keeps increasing. But one thing doesn't change: Our computers are still horrible at coping with problems.
4) Guests don't go to the glitzy Mohegan Sun casino and resort, in central Connecticut, to see the fuel-cell center that's housed in an old fire station on an access road. And they don't ooh and aah over the dozen hydrogen storage tanks on the fire station's roof.
5) The glass door of the dressing room at Prada's Epicenter store in SoHo slides shut.
Hitachi Ltd. has developed an RFID (radio frequency identification) chip that requires no external antenna and makes possible the embedding of tracking and identification chips in bank notes, tickets and other paper products.
At present Hitachi's Myu chip, and many competing chips from other companies, require antennas through which data is received and transmitted to a chip reader and also power is drawn. In the case of the current generation Myu chip this antenna can be between five centimeters and seven centimeters long, said Keisaku Shibatani, a spokesman for Hitachi
While artificial intelligence (AI) is often regarded as an exotic academic playground, its tools and techniques have matured to contribute to real-world software technology as well. This article introduces Protégé, arguably the most successful open source knowledge-modeling platform. Using Protégé, developers and domain experts can build conceptual models and knowledge bases and access them via an easy-to-use Java API. The resulting models can implement decision-support systems, capture software requirements, populate databases, generate Java classes and UML diagrams, share and reuse domain models, and access the Semantic Web

The use of technology increases user productivity. Unified Messaging and Communications is becoming integral part of every business application now a days. It provide a strong value proposition for an enterprise in terms of increased user productivity, which in turn helps the organization reduce the cost.
NEC, Avaya, Nortel, Active Voice, Captaris, Siemens are currently leaders in Unified Messaging/Communications.
The industry have software licensing revenue of $200 ~ $300 million as of now but the revenue is expected to grow exponentially in next few yrs.
Videoconferencing is in demand today, the worldwide industry revenue is about $700 to $800 million. Polycom, Sony, and Tandberg are the leaders/providers.
Web Conferencing which I think is also very cool, the industries worldwide revenue is about $100 to $200 million and currently the leaders/providers are
