Impact of BA38 Crash

I flew out London a day after the flight BA38 Beijing - London crashed in Heathrow airport. The concierge advised me to check my flight in case of rescheduling but I said I go anyway as I did not receive SMS from Qantas and if there is delay, I can just hang out in the airport.
I could see the plane from my taxi and I was amazed with the fact that how close it was with the main road and I really admire the pilot skills in avoiding disaster. He managed to reduce the impact and everyone, including myself thanked him. I could not take a photo of the unfortunate plane because the taxi driver did not hear me asking him to slow down.
My flight was on schedule and I still got time to wander around in the airport. I went to see the long queue (while having a cigarette) and saw people patiently reissuing their tickets and checking in - as they got impacted by major rescheduling the day before. No one seemed to complaint as the airport staffs seemed to handle this well.

Researchers craft new testing device to detect early Alzheimer's

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

We've heard that the "gold standard" pen and paper test seems to work fairly well at detecting the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease, but gurus from Georgia Tech and Emory University have teamed up to develop a much quicker method for accomplishing the same. The ten-minute DETECT test utilizes a head-worn visor with a built-in LCD, headphones and a handheld controller, which the patient interacts with as he / she is put through a series of visual and auditory tests that "assess cognitive abilities relative to age," gauge reaction time and measure memory capabilities. Initial tests have purportedly shown it to have "similar accuracy" to the aforementioned pen and paper test (which takes around 90-minutes to administer), and while we've no idea when the device will be available for public use, its creators have already formed a firm (Zenda Technologies) to commercialize it. Finally, a legitimate use for head-mounted displays -- thought we'd never see the day.
