BBM for Android officially coming tonight with a virtual line

Blackberry Messenger is officially coming this night. Blackberry has announced that this afternoon, they are launching the BBM app on Google Play, the Apple App Store, and the Samsung App Store for all to use. The once incredibly popular chat service is finally going cross platform, and despite the negativity towards BBM, we’re still excited to try it. There is still a catch to the release. Not everyone will be able to use BBM today, so you’ll have to be quick about downloading the app. As soon as it’s released, install it and enter your email address. You’ll be added to a virtual line of people waiting to use the service. If you signed up previously at BBM.com , you won’t have to wait. Considering how many people swarmed BBM servers when the app was last leaked, Blackberry wants to slowly ease the entire population onto BBM. This may be smart from a server standpoint, but will it drive people away not having friends using BBM on launch day? The release is very close, so keep an eye on the Play Store and visit BBM.com from your mobile device for a direct link to your respective app market.

Japan telecommunication giant, NTT has developed wearable textile
electrodes which can be worn on the
inside of a shirt, and can continuously
monitor the electrical activity of the
heart over an extended period of
time.
The wearable electrodes are
fabricated from a conductive fiber,
consisting of a silk or a synthetic fibre
core coated with a conductive
polymer called PEDOT-PSS.
To Watch the video, Click or touch here:
This conductive polymer has excellent
biocompatibility, and can deliver ECG
measurements with a stability
equivalent to that of conventional
medical electrodes, without the need
for attaching the electrodes to the skin
with an electrolyte paste or gel.
As the textile electrodes are soft to the
touch, flexible and breathable, long
term monitoring which places no
burden on the wearer is now
possible. Studies conducted by NTT
showed no signs of skin irritation or
contact dermatitis after long-term use.

NTT now plans to conduct further
experimentation, this time with 100
wearers, to further investigate their
safety and effectiveness.
In the future, these wearable
electrodes could be used to aid home
or remote medical care, reducing the
risk of heart attack through early
detection and treatment of heart
irregularities, or in fields such as
sports, general fitness and scientific
research.
