EQM - The Erectile Quality Monitor

Jason Chen — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:00:00 EST

You may think you have a powerful erection, but how do you know? The Erectile Quality Monitor is here to help.

Here are the instructions.

Once you obtain an erection via your stimuli of choice, simply place the head of the penis against the pressure sensor of the device and apply pressure towards the body for a count of 5 seconds or until the penis inflects (bends). At this point a reading will flash on one of the LED indicator lights, reflecting the quality of that erection. Use this same method each time you test to help ensure accurate results.

Basically, hold it up to your dong in order to see how strong it is. A stronger donger would mean that it bends less, a weak one means it bends more. If you have a problem, you'll be aware of it and take steps to treat it. Knowledge is power, my friends, and this thing is power.

Stay tuned for a hands on. [Fast Size]

iPhone Scientifically Rated (Verdict: Great Call Quality)

Wirelessinfo knows what they're talking about when it comes to cellphone calls. They're the Mythbusters of cellphones, pulling out all sorts of scientific equipment to determine whether call quality is good—not just doing a "oh, this sounds good" test. Their results for the iPhone? Best they've seen.

It scores higher on the frequency response test compared to the BlackBerry 8800, Helio Ocean, LG Prada, Nokia N95 and the Treo 750. The audio quality is great as well, as is the send frequency response. The iPhone did have a bit of "side tone", which is the amount that you hear yourself in a conversation.

TechnoConcepts Aims to Improve Clarity of Cellphone Calls

Charlie White — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 12:15:27 EDT

TechnoConcepts filed for a patent for its "True Software Radio" technology, an invention that supposedly eliminates background noise from cellphone calls. The invention is also said to "vividly improve voice clarity."

Sure, background noise is one problem with cellphone calls, but another is the amount of time it takes for your voice to get through all the digital circuitry, resulting in that annoying delay. And then there are the times when your voice drops out completely. We're not thinking this invention is going to do much to help the horrendous quality of cellphone calls in United States today. But at least it's a start.
