Casio squeezed Bluetooth 4.0 into their latest G-Shock

The latest G-Shock watch from Casio boasts the usual array of shock and water-resistant claims, and now it can add FCC acceptance to the list, having passed through that government agency's approval process. So, why did this wristwatch hit the FCC in the first place. Well, the rugged little timekeeper is packing Bluetooth 4.0 in its bag of tricks, which lets the wearable gadget communicate with your smartphone. No word on a release date, but Casio did mention a fairly broad “sometime in 2011″ window when it was first announced back in March.

Snail Mail My Email lets you send a letter without visiting the post office

In this day and age, it's hard to find anybody who still writes letters by hand anymore. With the convenience offered by email - instant delivery, delivery reports, attachments, rich content etc; it's hard to see why anybody would still want to use snail mail. Sure, there's always the personal touch of a handwritten letter and the fun from licking stamps but those novelties don't outweigh the convenience provided by technology. An artist by the name of Ivan Cash is refusing to let this form of communication die and has started a project called Snail Mail My Email.
