RIM patent application shines a light on unseen filth, might make forensics mobile

CSI: Waterloo? We're not sure how compelling that spin-off would be (inexplicable popularity of the David Caruso-headlined Miami version aside). So, you'll excuse us for scratching our collective tech head over this recently surfaced patent application filed by RIM in November of 2010. The claims of this bizarre USPTO doc describe an apparatus containing some form of a "display element" attached to a portable electronic device that would generate light on nearby objects, snap photographs and then display results indicating potential contamination. Sounds a lot like those UV wands forensics researchers use on crime scenes, non? Well, whatever it is Heins and co. may have brewing in their Canadian R&D labs, we just pray this isn't BB 10's killer feature. Hit up the source below to peruse the legalese for yourself.

Eternal Rest

Since the fall of man in the garden of Eden, man has been in an endless quest to find satisfaction, peace, joy and contentment. Every effort always ends up in emptiness. Material things like sex, fame, fortune, prestige and power may seem to satisfy temporarily, then that void emerges again in our spirit. I realize that this is a controversial subject. Some believe that there's everlasting life and others don't, but God has given us the choice. The Pharisees believed in resurrection but the Sadducees didn't, nevertheless, Jesus resurrected from the dead according to the scriptures. Let's briefly explore what the scripture says about this subject. Let God be true and every person a liar.
