  Special Chair For Fat People: No Go For Sao Paulo Train Stations

  FURNITURE

  I’ve never been to Brazil, so I can’t confirm.  A news report, however, says the city of Sao Paulo has installed special chairs in the city’s train stations to accommodate fat people, who can’t fit in the otherwise slim-size seating panels in the waiting areas.  As it turns out, there’s a soaring obesity rate in the country and the chairs are a response to the increasing number of “big” individuals. Awesome, right?  Apparently not.  According to the same report, the [...]

  Blu-Link Universal Remote Handles The PS3, Along With The Rest Of Your Home Theater Equipment

  GADGETS, HOME

  The PS3 makes great sense as a low-cost media center, save for one glaring problem: it won’t play friendly with your universal remote.  Since it doesn’t support the regular IR signal used by the rest of your home theater setup, you’ll have to get a separate Bluetooth unit, which defeats the whole idea of being “universal.”  The Blu-Link remote easily fills the void, handling both IR and Bluetooth components, so you can keep the DualShock controller on the shelf till [...]
