It looks like folks wary of needles now have yet another piece of technology to look forward to, with this so-called Venus device promising to measure tissue oxygen and pH levels without the need to draw any blood at all. To do that, the system makes use of a relatively small sensor that’s placed directly on the skin, which uses near infrared light to measure to measure the blood and analyze both the tissue oxygen and pH, as well as the the metabolic rate. As a bonus, the lack of needles also reduces the the risk of infection, and it’s relatively portable nature makes it ideal for use outside of strictly medical situations, such as monitoring athletes — or astronauts, as it was originally developed for. As you might expect, however, the device is still just in prototype form, and there doesn’t appear to be any indication as to when it might move beyond the lab.

As automobiles become more eco-friendly, they’re also becoming increasingly quieter… which is a good thing, if, like us, you want to live in a completely silent world (the blaring of Mastodon notwithstanding). The obvious problem with quieter vehicles is, of course that they can pose a real danger to unsuspecting pedestrians. To combat this terrifying prospect, Senators John Kerry (D, MA) and Arlen Spector (R, er… D, PA) have introduced The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study on what effects of hybrid, electric and other silent engine vehicles are having on pedestrian injuries and deaths in the US. The bill specifically focuses on the perils of quiet engines to blind pedestrians, but notes that the dangers are likely wider spread than that. While there are no possible solutions mentioned, may we suggest writing into law that you have to have a bullhorn strapped to your car and yell “vroom vroom” the entire time you drive?

HTPC fans were devastated when it was revealed that only OEM PC builders would have the privilege of building Vista Media Center PCs with CableCARD support, but hope is here: it looks like a few members of The Green Button forum have figured out how to build their own CableCARD ready HTPC. There’s two barriers to overcome, which unfortunately still make it more difficult than just picking up an internal or external ATI Digital Cable Tuner, but they’re not terrible: would-be system builders just need to score an OCUR tuner product ID number and use a BIOS contains the correct OSFR table. No one’s figured out how to tweak just any BIOS yet, but apparently most ASUS P5Q motherboards work fine — so really you just need to score some used CableCARD tuners off eBay and ask the seller for the PID from their computer. Or you could throw caution to the wind and plug in the generic PID of 263DJ-2Y9YT-6X9G6-W28DB-697TF, which may or may not work. Anyone feeling brave enough to grab a new mobo and CableCARD tuner and give this a shot?

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new Mio navi hit Stateside — Mitac seems to be concentrating on the Magellan brand here — but it looks like there’s still some kick left in those boots: say hello to the Moov S401 and S501. Baby brother 401 will sell for $129 and has a 4.3-inch screen and four million preloaded POIs, while the $169 501 bumps it up to 4.7 inches and 12 million. Both have Mio’s newish “Spirit” interface, but we’re most intrigued by the repeated mentions of gas price searching and Google Send to GPS in the docs we were leaked, which suggest integration with a service like MSN Direct. We’ll find out soon — these are set to land in Radio Shack in mid-May.

Sure, you’ve seen the alpha SDK, and you’ve even seen it in pre-alpha, but if you’re really serious about your Maemo 5 development you gotta check out the beta release. This should be music to the ears of all you crazy kids who are hard at work developing software for Nokia’s next-gen Internet tablets. And “Maemo 5 Beta SDK” is not only fun to say, but it also brings several new features to the table, including: support for widget development, a new version of the Modest open-source email app, OMAP3 support, HSPA data connectivity, hi-def camera support, and hardware-based graphics acceleration. Lastly (though certainly not leastly) you’ll finally be able to get your hands on a Maemo 5 Development Manual. We hear that one’s a real page-turner. Hit that read link and get to work.

We’re not sure why Android is suddenly the hottest netbook OS in town, but we’d guess it’s about to hit the scene in a big way at Computex next month. Today’s whispers? Averatec CEO Tae-Hyun Cho says his company will ship a new netbook with a “surprise” OS that blends “cell phone and PC technology” in August or September. Very mysterious. That’s literally all we know for now, but Cho’s comments about what consumers are willing to pay has us thinking this one’ll come in cheap — we’ll keep an eye out.
