Spin3 Wireless Casino System

Juniper Foo | Mar 02, 2005

While Singapore's still bellyaching about "the Casino Threat" to the island, it should look to two UK firms which have developed a secure wireless casino system that can run on cell phones. In short, any casino operator, mobile network provider or Internet-based company can now offer a game of Lady Luck on just about any mobile or wireless device. The Spin3 system provides six real-time networked casino games, including blackjack, roulette, scratch card and jackpot slots, with a chance for players to score a pot that starts at US$40,000. All right from their mobile device. The addicted are about to get more addicted.

Availability: UK, spin3
Device: Secure mobile casino system

Oscar Grab Bag

Juniper Foo | Mar 01, 2005

Sometimes it isn't what the stars wear to the Oscars, it's what they're getting. And this year's grab bag for Academy Award guests gets even swankier, packing a reportedly cool US$150,000 worth of goodies. Ok, so nothing beats Sundance's over-the-top hamper which included an 18-carat gold vibrator. But check out some of the tech loot in the Academy's sack: A 43-inch Samsung high-definition projection TV, subscription to the VOOM HDTV satellite service, Motorola's RAZR V3 black edition, a Samsung multimedia phone from Sprint, Dyson DC11 vacuum, iXi collapsible bike, Krups kitchen set, a free year of VoIP phone service from Vonage. With trophies like that, who needs Oscar?
