Thought that this invention was worth noting.  If endorsed right and works like it should, we could very well see these in our backyards in 3 to 5 years.  Please leave any comments below.

Okay you and I know that nothing is really free, but this program is pretty close. It's called Swagbucks (pretty catchy ain't it) and you get points that can buy all types of prizes. Now all you have to do to obtain points is simply use the search engine at the website. So as you use it regularly you will obtain points while you search. Now what is great about this is that both Google and Ask.com search engines are used. I always use Google when I am searching for something, so this is a really nice touch for me. Now when you create an account that you use with the website, you get three complimentary points. As you regularly use the website your points will slowly began to accumulate digital dollars (points) that can be used for buying a simple desktop wallpaper or maybe go all the way and get an iphone (which cost 3800 points).
Now if you have seen Mycokerewards.com, then this store is just like that, but with better prizes. Also this site is totally free, which is the best thing about it. No monthly charges or membership fees! My biggest problem about the store is that you aren't able to enter searches for anything in the store. But hopefully they will update the store and add that feature soon.
If this sounds even mildly interesting to you then sign up and search away. Now it plainly says on their website, when you sign up, that doing a large amounts of searches at one time will not really increase your chances of getting points, so just use it like you would Google or Yahoo and you'll be able to get what you want in no time. I am fairly new to this too, and only have 10 points, but I am getting some at least every other day. Now if you would like to sign up for it please click on the ad above because it will count as a referral from me. And once you start using it please keep me informed on how many points you have saved up. I'd love to see how much people can save. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, leave a post below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

                                

I've always thought that touchscreen phones were one of the greatest ideas ever thought of, but one thing every phone lacks, is the physical buttons.  Without actual buttons being there, it is impossible to type things without looking at the screen, like a person's phone number for instance.  Well people at Google have been working on an idea to solve that problem.  This idea started when they realized that there were many visually impaired people that used touchscreen phones everyday and that there needed to be more accessible controls towards them.  

So the concept is that wherever you touch the screen, it turns into a five.  Next just press/hold the screen and slide up for 2, or right for 6, or diagonal to 1 or 3, etc.  The phone will not only recognize the input, but also read out the number so you can make sure it's the correct number.  It sounds like a fairly easy thing to do for me and as long as you know the number keypad configuration you will be set (I'm sure everyone already knows it).  

I like how they are making sure that there phone can be used by anyone.  As far as I know Google is the only company working on concepts like this, but who knows Apple could be working on something like this behind closed doors.  I'm not sure if this feature will be coming out anytime soon, or if at all, but if it does I want to be one of the first to try it out.  Check out the video above to see it for yourself.

Whenever I use this, it makes me feel like I'm surfing through my own little world of pictures. It's called Cooliris and it's available for Macintosh and Windows XP/Vista users. Compatible with Safari (Mac only) , Internet Explorer, and Firefox (Mac and Windows). It's great when you want to look through MANY pictures quickly. There's no waiting for each page of pictures to load, as long as you scroll through you find pictures. Doesn't work with every site you are on, but it does work on the popular ones like Myspace, Flickr, Google Images, including Blogger and more. It's free so you might as well give it a try. Cooliris
