Uniden America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wireless consumer electronics, today announced their new lines of wireless video surveillance products and two-way radios for the North American market. These introductions mark Uniden’s entrance into the wireless video surveillance category and the expansion of its already robust line of two-way radio solutions with the addition of two new floating, waterproof models.

“Making consumers’ lives easier through the creation of innovative, wireless products has always been the focus at Uniden,” said Rex Holloway, vice president of new product development at Uniden America Corporation. “Our new wireless video surveillance products and first-ever waterproof, floating two-way radios are natural extensions of our World Without Wires brand philosophy and perfect examples of Uniden’s continued commitment to innovation.”

Virgin America, the airline that is reinventing domestic travel, today announced an exclusive partnership with Google to offer free in-flight WiFi to all of its guests during the holidays. The two California-based companies known for innovation, entrepreneurialism and for connecting people in new ways, have again joined forces to give Virgin America fliers the gift of in-flight connection during the holiday travel season. From Nov. 10, 2009-Jan. 15, 2010, guests on all Virgin America flights will be able to check email, gift shop online, stay in touch with family and friends via social media, or just go wherever the web takes them - all for free. In May, Virgin America became the first airline to offer Gogo® Inflight Internet service on every flight.

“Since the launch of WiFi on all of our planes, we’ve seen an overwhelmingly positive response from travelers,” said Porter Gale, Vice President of Marketing at Virgin America. “We’ve found that both business and leisure travelers are using the service at a growing rate, and many consider the availability of in-flight WiFi one of the key factors in their booking decision. We’re thrilled to team up with Google to deliver this special holiday gift to our loyal guests. We also hope it persuades more new users to try out the service -as once people try Gogo, they rarely go back.”

Every year, millions of sensitive data records are exposed due to hackers or stolen hardware, just having confidential information on a computer screen can be risky.(1) Business professionals who frequently travel or work outside the office and manage confidential information must constantly be on-guard against data thieves and over-the-shoulder snoops, especially since 49 percent of people admit to glancing at strangers’ computer screens.(2) Now, 3M Specialty Display Products, pioneers in privacy protection, is introducing 3M Gold Privacy Filters — the most advanced privacy screen for laptops with increased visual clarity.

Utilizing multiple state-of-the-art 3M technologies, 3M Gold Privacy Filters protect sensitive data on your laptop by revealing a reflective golden screen when viewed from the side. This new privacy screen also features a gloss surface that allows the user to experience sharper and brighter text and images with no blurring or distortion.

NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, spacecraft has made it possible for scientists to construct the first comprehensive sky map of our solar system and its location in the Milky Way galaxy. The new view will change the way researchers view and study the interaction between our galaxy and sun.

The sky map was produced with data that two detectors on the spacecraft collected during six months of observations. The detectors measured and counted particles scientists refer to as energetic neutral atoms.
