Wow, imagine all these innovations! Corning really found a way to make life convenient for everyone by modifying glass and adding electronic properties to it, which is existentially being used nowadays for touchscreen applications. Really cool stuff, but pretty sure these won't be available in developing countries like the Philippines. Only European and North American states will be able to experience this.

Steve Jobs recently launched the thinner and lighter version of the iPad 2. It's got features that will bring more convenience to consumers, for instance, you don't need a musical instrument to play, just use an application featured in iPad 2 and make music by just clicking on the screen. Wow! I just hope the iPad 2 does not break instantly.

SPOTTED: Coca-Cola Happiness Truck, Machine, Store, Transformers

I was really amazed upon seeing this wonderful piece of social, cause-oriented promotion introduced by the Coca-Cola Company. What surprised me most and made me smile are the kinds of gifts being given to people coming near it and pressing the big, red PUSHbutton, which include remote-controlled toys, scooters, stuff toys and lots of Coke!

The video above shows a Coca-Cola delivery truck converted into a happiness machine on wheels delivering "doses" of happiness in the streets of Marikina, Philippines.
