GPS Golf Balls Are Almost Here

As GPS technology gets better and better and smaller and smaller it will be able to be used for many things? For instance at the world Series a baseball hit into the third level will be able to be recorded by GPS as to exactly how far it was hit and its trajectory to formulate where it would have actually landed had the stadium been flat. Thus we will be able to tell who was the greatest homerun power house of all times, perhaps even who is on steroids based on their body mass, speed of pitch, GPS data and haptics (body movement and form). Wouldnt it be cool to be watching the world Series on TV and instant information about a homerun appearing on the bottom of the screen? Sounds like a whole new potential betting arena, not only how many homeruns a person will hit, but exactly how far they will hit them?

A football kick would be immediately known the exact yardage, every play near the sidelines would be instantly called in or out of bounds and there would never be any question as to if a football actually broke the goal line. I can hear the referee unions screaming foul already as they will no longer be needed or have jobs? Ouch? Soccer balls, off sides, out of bounds? Yes all possible via GPS data.

With sensors getting smaller and GPS units being used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of smaller and smaller size for Micro air Vehicles and RFID imbedded chips, this technology believe it or not is ready for golf balls as well? All you need is a little imagination. So there you are Tiger Woods with a PDA device in your hands which measures the exactly where the ball is, how far to the next hole, picking up the data from inside the golf ball itself and the flag in the hole. Way-points are displayed also as to where the sand traps are, lakes, edge of fairway and the rough surrounding the green.

The world Think Tank recent discussion and brain storming session digressed from GPS navigational devices to sports and we came up with the idea to put GPS sensors in golf balls, so you could find your golf ball if you have a nasty slice or heavy winds taking it off course. Part of our discussion also came from another recent think tank discussion on putting GPS sensors on Locusts Swarms in order to track them.

The idea of putting GPS sensors on Locusts is a noble idea, yet who will pay for this technology, as the locust is small and cannot carry much weight and still keep up with the rest of the swarm, which of course would throw off the reading? Our thoughts were to let the golfing community pay for it. After all if the locusts see such a green area of grass they would eat it all up.

As a kid I use to run on the golf course and saw balls way off the ranges and fairways. Some of these golf balls were custom, with people's names on them? Ouch adding insult to injury, I could immediately tell who the bad golfer was? With the new GPS WTT Golf Balls you could never lose your golf balls, because you would know their exact location via a set of satellites and that data would be displayed on your wireless PDA device. This PDA wireless Tracking device would be with you and you could carry it in a zipper pouch on the golf bag or on the steering wheel of your golf cart. Now then on the poles and flags of each hole would be another sensor so when you set the ball on the "T" for the next shot you would see the exact distance.

We went one step further and figured out how to integrate a mini-weather station system on you golf cart. It will be a slight modification of the Climatronics Corporations TACMET System. For those who liked to get a work out, it could be integrated into the golf bag with a small external periscope;

http://www.climatronics.com see the TACNET System.

By integrating the GPS System with known GIS Golf Course Topography and exact weather readings from the TACMET System into the wireless PDA, the golfer would have all the data needed to make a perfect shot provided they had the skill and pre-cognitive ability to make it so. Our system will also be able to suggest the best club to use based on the ability of the golfer from previous courses, wind, distance and punching in of the golfers present fatigue factor based on a 1-10 scale.

A Sarasota company, Great White Shark Entertainment is already busy installing WiFi and GPS systems such as golf shot distance measurement and course information which includes a Golf Cart mounted system and handheld PDA wireless mobile display. These systems will become great revenue enhancers for Golf Clubs and for the serious golfer who likes all the bells and whistles and has the money to afford them. There system is quite perfect to add to our idea or vice versa, check it out: The Inforemer, this information available at their website. GPS Industries is making it all happen.

The Our WTT GPS Golf Balls will be more expensive than normal balls but well worth it as the system teaches the player to shoot a better game. The golf ball could be the same weight? As any normal PGA Golf Ball.

A future thought along this theme would be to eventually have, thru special internal parts and shape shifting techniques, the ball if it got close would simply roll over to the hole and fall in. This would mean no one would ever have to give them a free put or allow someone to feel bad who fudged the score. This future idea would be great for the player who understands he is not anywhere near a scratch golfer but occasionally might like to play with a few. Or for the player who goes to the course simply to look cool, but has not brains or talent?

Free Reverse Cell Phone Directory-Does One Exist Online?

Do you need to find someone and all you have is a cellular phone number? If you're like many people, the first place you turn is probably the internet.

Everyday thousands of people visit Google.com and other search engines to try and find the official cell phone directory to conduct a reverse search.

I've got bad news. It doesn't exist!

That's certainly not to say you can't find a cell phone number using Google.com and other search engines. If you simply type the cell phone number into the search bar, you'd be amazed how many times you can find the owner in the regular search results. Unfortunately, most people don't try this method first.

Although there's not an official cell phone directory available on the internet yet, there are several volunteer cell phone directories popping up and gaining popularity. These sites allow you to opt-in your cell phone number and then you have the right to search for other cell phone numbers.

They promise not to let your cell number get into the hands of telemarketers and some of them notify you when anyone searches for your phone number.

Below are a few of these websites that you might:

  • cellphonedirectory.com: This is one site that's really gaining steam. You can search or submit your cell phone number to their database for free. It's a volunteer site and you can edit or remove your listing at anytime.
  • nationalcellulardirectory.com: This is another free cell phone number directory. You can search for a person's cell number or conduct a reverse cell phone number search only after you have added your own phone number to their database.
  • free-reverse-cell-phone-directory.com: This is another free reverse mobile phone directory. You can also add your number here, but it's not required to search for cell numbers.
There are a few more independent cell phone directories popping up on the internet all the time. Currently, the mobile phone carriers endorse none of them. That may be changing soon. All of the major cell phone carriers (except verizon Wireless) are working together to create the first official cell phone directory. It will only list phone numbers of customers who have opted into the plan so you still won't be able to find many numbers initially. It's still not currently known at what extent you will have access to this database. It may be restricted to 411 services or it may be published online. It will not be printed in a traditional phonebook style.

The Weight Loss Cure

Because obesity has become a pandemic in our society, more and more people are looking for ways to lose weight. Whether they join weight loss clubs; engage in diets drinks or choose the variety of weight loss regimens available; the problem still exists.

Whether or not you have seen Mr. Trudeau's infomercial about this weight loss book, along with the other books he has written; you have to seriously wonder if this book is, in fact, the answer. While his notion that pharmaceutical companies prescribe medications for conditions which can be treated by other methods is not a new concept, he has nonetheless revealed many home remedies and as well as holistic treatments which have been very successful, and which have been used for thousands of years.

This weight loss cure book is no exception. What he is basically describing in this book is a way to lose weight without depending on fad diets, pills, or other forms of weight loss treatments. Evidenced by his weight loss, Mr. Trudeau has been an outspoken advocate against traditional medications which pharmaceutical companies have been promoting, and others of his ilk have followed suit.

In an effort to prove this cure works, he utilized the protocols, and in six weeks lost 45 pounds. He also revealed in his infomercial that no exercise was needed; his energy level increased; and his eating habits drastically changed. Moreover, once you have completed the protocol outlined in the book, you will never feel hungry and your metabolism will increase, thereby allowing for more fat to be burned. If you have had the opportunity to see Mr. Trudeau in his infomercials, you will notice the dramatic change in his weight as well as take note of his youthful appearance.

If you have tried to lose weight and failed, you should read this book. Ensure you check with your doctor before trying any weight loss diet wherein you lose weight as rapidly as Mr. Trudeau claims. However, it is worth the price. It is also important to note that he has also tried other weight loss programs without success. He would lose the weight and gain it back.

The weight loss cure book may be just the answer you are looking for and may also provide answers to questions which traditional types of weight loss diets have failed to provide.
