The first Story of Broke teaser
The United States isn’t broke; we’re the richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally well. But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn’t working. But rather than invest in something better, we continue to keep this ‘dinosaur economy’ on life support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax money. The Story of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward investments in clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and materials, zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier environment. It’s time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let’s build it better.
Gloves for use with Touchscreens : DigInfo
At Tokyo International Gift Show Fall 2010, Alta, which plans, manufactures, and sells original goods, exhibited Touch Gloves, for using touchscreens in cold weather.
"These are called Touch Gloves. They let you use a touchscreen while wearing gloves."
"Touch Gloves were originally targeted at salespeople. We developed them because, if you're using an iPhone outdoors in winter, it's a hassle to take your gloves off - and your hands get cold."
"Originally, touchscreens that use the capacitive system detected the electric charge from the user's body. But this product has a special textile on the fingertips, so you can use a touchscreen even with gloves on."
"Touch Gloves with a printed design are priced at 1,700 yen, while plain ones are priced at 1,500 yen."
