Philips’ Intelligent Pill is basically a robotic capsule that can handle a bunch of advanced medical functions wile inside of you. For one thing, knowing it’s location in your body. It’s capable of measuring acidity and temperature in the stomach, figures out it’s position and knows whether or not it should release medicine in that spot. The device uses a microprocessor, wireless radio and battery, along with a pump and deposit for the drugs.

The idea is that since it can deliver drugs in the exact spot needed, less drugs are required and that means fewer side effects. According to researchers, the prototype is ready for mass production. And your stomach. Let’s hope it’s not smart enough to lay nano-eggs in you and reproduce.

Fans of the hit show Weeds, and fans of marijuana for that matter, as well as Cheech and Chong fans will love this news. Marijuana is now legal in California as long as the sellers are licensed to provide the drug to those with a prescription. So it’s no surprise that people want to make the vendors of pot and the pot itself easier to find.

That’s where Potlocator.com comes in using Google Maps. Just type in your zip code and it will give you a map complete with color-coded pot leaves. That is if stoners can remember their zip code. It’s bound to be controversial and we here at the ‘Brick remain neutral as we only get high on gadgets, tech news and various geekery. Of course then there’s our daily caffeine buzzes, sugar highs from various junk food, that time I blogged for 5 days straight and saw god… Drugs are bad ummkay.
