Soccer fans know how important it is to keep up with a game, even from afar. That’s why Swedish researchers are working on a new technology that would engage fans in the game –- by sending vibrations to their phones. The researchers say they could set up phones to sync with ball movement on the field and vibrate whenever the ball is kicked, creating longer vibrations for longer kicks and the biggest buzz of all for a goal. Each team would have a different kind of vibration, but it seems like you’d have to pay a lot of attention to your cell phone to decode the action of the match through the buzz.

To the best of my knowledge the pterodactyle was a reptile, not specifically a dinosaur.

"Pint-sized refrigerators can blast much more coolness that the conventional method"
You dont move 'cool energy' you remove heat.

Hmm, I wonder if the "red LED" used to study those wrinkles was your typical high-efficiency InGaAlP version.

Ahh so many items that I could care less about. Not that they aren't important, I just know I'll probably never hear about anyone of these ever again. :)
