Samsung’s Blu-Ray DVD hits the market

If it hadn’t been for the PS3’s heartbreaking delay, we’d have expected to see our first Blu-ray machine in the form of a next-gen console.
As it is, our first taste of Blu-ray hit the UK (not yet in India) yesterday in the shape of Samsung’s BD-P1000 player and, at £1000.
Still, the jury’s out on whether HD-DVD or Blu-ray will win the day, since the format war is only just beginning. It’s unlikely that either format will enjoy the monumental lack of success that DVD-Audio and SACD managed but there’s still likely to be a loser.

“BlackBerry Thumb” sparks new form of hand massage

Many BlackBerry users feel the “BlackBerry Thumb” affect after spending hours on a hand-held e-mail device. This thumb effect results in sore thumbs, but there is a possible solution. The Hyatt hotel chain found so many of their business travelers were complaining of hand and arm discomfort that they have introduced a special “BlackBerry Balm” hand massage at most of their North American spas.
Corporate spa director Kyra Johnson said guests began asking masseurs to spend more time on their hands and arms because of the growing popularity of PDA (personal digital assistant) devices like BlackBerrys and Treos. The 30-minute massage, that costs about $30, begins with heat treatment and uses a “BlackBerry Balm.” It “focuses on counteracting tension on various hand and arm muscles, specifically in the thumbs and overworked wrists,” according to a Hyatt statement.
The American Physical Therapy Association recently recognized BlackBerry Thumb as an official work place malady — a stress-related injury due to over-use of any PDA or smartphone. Ontario-based Research IN Motion Ltd’s BlackBerry became a technological must-have in the late 1990s as a tool that delivers e-mail to users on the move.Professor Alan Hedge, an ergonomics specialist at Cornell University in New York state, said the condition is caused by “highly repetitive, forceful thumb movements with the thumbs held back from the palms.” The symptoms are pain in the thumb and region around the base of the thumb and hand. Treatment typically consists of resting or strapping the thumb, anti-inflammatory medicines, cortisone injections and, as a last resort, surgery.
