New airline bag tags that can be programmed with a mobile phone could make those sticky strips of paper a thing of the past — and maybe even prevent a painful separation between you and your bag. Airlines around the globe are keen to dispense with the bar-coded thermal paper tags they print by the billions and loop onto your luggage.
That adhesive paper is expensive, and the codes don’t keep millions of bags from being lost each year. Worldwide, about 1% of luggage was mishandled last year, costing an estimated $2.6 billion, according to the International Air Transport Association.
The launch of two new features into the Open Compute hardware specifications on Wednesday has managed to achieve what Facebook (FB) has been threatening to do since it began building its vanity-free hardware back in 2010.

If just thinking about using a tiny touch screen on a smart watch has your fingers cramping up, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and Davis may soon offer some relief: they’re developing a tiny chip that uses ultrasound waves to detect a slew of gestures in three dimensions. The chip could be implanted in wearable gadgets.
The technology, called Chirp, is slated to be spun out into its own company, Chirp Microsystems, to produce the chips and sell them to hardware manufacturers. They hope that Chirp will eventually be used in everything from helmet cams to smart watches—basically any electronic device you want to control but don’t have a convenient way to do so.
Auto interiors have come a long way from the days when FM radio was a novelty. Electronic interfaces, digital displays, and interactive technology have improved safety and comfort and added fun. That's a big leap from even a few years ago--when a Garmin GPS device, suction-cupped to the windshield, was the most sophisticated technology inside a car. Insiders say these innovations are only a hint of what's to come.
IK4-LORTEK organiza una jornada divulgativa sobre Fabricación Aditiva de Componentes Metálicos que se desarrollará el día 27 de noviembre en la sede social de IK4-LORTEK, en Ordizia.

The multitude of interested stakeholders attempting to break into novel mobile payments (m-payments) markets is holding up the creation of common standards, a leading standards body representative has admitted.
M-payments describe many already existing payments methods, including so-called "digital wallets" which includes software platforms to consumers' existing banking cards and facilities, and other distinct payments services.
