Extensor Cures 'BlackBerry Thumb', Improves Your Golf Game

xtensor5lead.jpgOver at Laptop Mag, Joanna Stern is so excited by the Xtensor that she whipped up a video of it in action. The $40 Xtensor (to be pronounced with an heroic roar to rhyme with SkeleTOR!) is an exercise device for the fingers, aimed at reducing the effects of "BlackBerry Thumb". Strap the modified glove on and the adjustable bungee cords provide resistance as you move each finger. The Xtensor comes with a set of workouts for your hand. It's a shame we didn't know about this a week or so ago, when we compiled our list of fitness gadgets.

The Artificial Virus with Nanotech Tentacles

The first artificial virus was created in 2003 — to cure people, not kill them. A virus can deliver cures to cells just as easily as it delivers death. The problem with artificial viruses is that no one has been able to make them the proper shape to serve as a therapeutic delivery system. But now, Korean scientists have created a virus that could deliver a remedy directly to a patient's cells with far greater efficiency than past attempts. The key lies in those Lovecraftian tentacles extending from the virus.
