The iCrib Sound System is basically a special speaker system that can mount on the rails of a crib and adapts just about an MP3 player to play music.

The iCrib has straps to mount to the rails of the crib, and has a holder for most MP3 players, provided the MP3 player is shaped somewhat like the iPod. The name, color and shape of the holder and the sound system in this case pretty much implies ‘iPod’ to me, but the manufacturer advertises that any MP3 player would work. The holder is removable so you can connect the MP3 player without removing the entire iCrib sound system from the railing.

The iCrib is actually more than just a set of speakers to play music, it has settings in order to help a baby fall asleep. The speakers have a sound output that limits the …

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, is teaming up with Amazon.com to create a new search engine that is planned to rival the likes of Google and Yahoo according to reports from the Times Online.

Wales states that his search engine would be of value and provide more accurate search results by having the power of human reviewers to rank web sites. Google uses an completely automated algorithm which rates the value of a web site by the number of links pointing to it, among a number of other things. Even though Google does a good job of producing accurate results most of the time it can still be tricked and spammers take advantage of this from time to time. Wales stated he feels it will be easier for the human reviews to quickly and more accurately evaluate good web …

After departure, they rely on existing missile detection satellites to track the movements of Santa, but in actuality they are tracking Rudolph (Santa’s lead flying reindeer) since Rudolph’s nose puts off an infrared signature similar to that of a missile.
