LAS VEGAS (CAP) - As the economic downturn continues to force Americans to tighten their belts, the country’s two biggest technology conferences are taking unconventional steps as a means of trying to keep attendance up at their shows. Spokespeople for Macworld and the Consumer Electronics Show say both will feature plenty of nudity this week.

“CES is about innovation. Innovation creates new ways of doing things,” said Consumer Electronics Association CEO Gary Shapiro. “And if you’ve ever seen Tianna work a pole, then you’ve seen innovation at work.”

Shapiro said half a dozen local strippers will grace the various exhibit halls and hotel ballrooms at this year’s show, providing a welcome respite to what is typically a dry affair between “stuffy corporate types and the aging nerd population.” Each brings a signature talent to the conference, but Shapiro assures tradeshow coordinators that they are there to complement the technology, not upstage it.

LOS ANGELES (CAP) - Troubled times have begun to hit the entertainment industry as the faltering economy is forcing iconic performer John Tesh to shut down his fledgling social media website. However, he plans to continue his blog for now since it’s hosted by a free online service.

“It is truly a bummer because I feel we were making fantastic inroads,” Tesh told CAP News during an exclusive collect call phone interview. “We had just about doubled traffic since last May, and that doesn’t include all the visits from [wife] Connie [Sellecca].

“My web statistician felt confident we would have hit double digits by the end of this month,” Tesh added. Tesh’s social media site was just the latest project by the musician to stay financially solvent as he continues to watch his popularity wane following his departure from Entertainment Tonight over a decade ago. Other efforts have ranged from a radio show to a daily calendar to free copies of his old CD’s that are “just taking up too much space in the upstairs hallway.” (more…)

If you think that swallowing a mini computer pill that can be externally controlled by a doctor using wireless technology to dispense medicine inside your body sounds like something out of a science fiction story then think again, trials of this ‘intelligent computer health pill’ are in fact taking place right now by researchers at Philips.

The iPill is about the same size as a large multivitamin pill and is made up of two thirds computer technology with the rest of it acting as a medicine carrier. Once you swallow it, the medicine can then be dispensed in short bursts or all in one go at the complete discretion of a doctor communicating directly with the iPill using wireless technology to control the little pump inside the battery. The pill has enough power in its internal silver oxide battery to last for 48 hours but is actually designed to pass through the body’s own elimination system in half that time.

We all know that medicines can result in unpleasant side effects in some people, but not to worry, if the doctor spots an adverse reaction he can simply send a wireless signal to the pill to stop dispensing the drug. (more…)
