Let technology find your best fit!

By
 

When it comes to shopping, we’ve all been there – you try on clothes in six different stores, and the exact same size fits you in six different ways – or not at all. And this doesn’t happen more often than when you’re trying on jeans.
Natural waist, low-rise, boot-cut, skinny, flare – the number of combinations can make you want to swear off denim forever. But never fear, technology is coming to the rescue again!
A new, free service called mybestfit is poised to revolutionize the way we shop. A kiosk with a body imaging booth will use low power radio waves to scan your body, taking over 200,000 points of measurement. Of course, you’re fully clothed, the actual scanning only takes about ten seconds, and after about 10 minutes you get a shopping guide that lists styles that fit your exact body type. Just think how much time and frustration you’d save yourself if you went into the mall already knowing you need those Seven low-rise boot-cut jeans instead of the Lucky ultra low-rise flare leg jeans.
If you’re in the Philadelphia area, there is a mybestfit kiosk in the King of Prussia mall, and other locations in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago are scheduled by the end of the year. It’s also been featured on the Today show, and you can check out a clip here. Happy Shopping!

Carriers commit to kill switches by 2015, but ruin implementation to protect profit

By
This week, the major telecommunications carriers in the United States finally agreed to make a mandatory “kill switch” option available on all cell phones by 2015. It’s a move that has been praised as a long time coming and slammed as incremental. However, it has also been resisted in certain corners by those who feel that the option will be abused. No one disputes that mobile phone theft is on the rise. The San Francisco police department has reported that a whopping 67% of all theft cases are related to mobile devices; 10% of phone owners have reportedly had a device stolen at some point. Consumer Reports claims that 1.2 million phones were stolen in 2012, with 3.1 million reported thefts in 2013. The question is whether a manufacturer-enabled “kill switch,” a method of disabling a device remotely, would be an effective means of short-circuiting a thriving market in stolen devices. US carriers have previously balked at manufacturer-implemented kill switches. Sam...
