Oh sure, the official term is probably something like “Fruit Evaluation Specialist,” but if you spend your days chomping into apples to assess their taste and crispness, you’re really an Apple Biter. While using panels of such people is a common method of evaluating the quality of apple crops, it can be compromised when those people start to get fatigued. There’s also the not-insignificant fact that panel members could differ in what they consider to be the optimal level of crispness. That’s why Washington State University is looking into using a computerized penetrometer to handle part of the Apple Biters’ duties. <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/computerized-penetrometer-apple-crispness/20864/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-prada-collaborative-phone/20862/">LG and PRADA reveal newest collaborative phone</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/author/enid-burns/">Enid Burns</a></p> <p><em>09:56 December 15, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111215214136im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-prada-collaborative-phone/20862/picture/151054/">6 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-prada-collaborative-phone/20862/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111215214136im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/pradaandlg30phone.jpg" title="Prada and LG 3.0 have released a new Android phone" alt="Prada and LG 3.0 have released a new Android phone"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Fashionistas can have their phone and use it too. The third phone to come out of the partnership between PRADA and LG 3.0 was unveiled this week in London. The slim and stylish handset runs Android's Gingerbread OS. A distinct PRADA influence is evident on the phone's design. The handset exhibits clean and sharp lines with the design house's signature Saffiano pattern, typically etched into its leather goods, adorning the back of the phone. <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-prada-collaborative-phone/20862/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/researchwatch/" style="float: left; ">RESEARCH WATCH</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/smallest-stirling-engine/20861/">Scientists create "the world's smallest steam engine"</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/author/james-holloway/">James Holloway</a></p> <p><em>08:17 December 15, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/smallest-stirling-engine/20861/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111215214136im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/particle-engine.jpg" title=" Principle of the microscopic engine (Diagram: University of Stuttgart)" alt=" Principle of the microscopic engine (Diagram: University of Stuttgart)"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>It sounds implausible, yet scientists have managed to create a functioning engine, analogous to a Stirling engine, just three micrometers wide and made of a single particle.

In fact, new aerodynamic discoveries coupled with exotic materials have turned modern sails into veritable works of high tech art. Today, sailmakers know that the less a sail distorts (through stretching, shear, compression or shrinkage) the more force or drive remains available to power the boat - especially helpful when you're in a close race for that final buoy. Now, the innovative designers at North Sails have woven an interesting array of tricks into their unique new 3Di line of "canvas" - laminated, heat-molded sails that hold their shape so well, they come close to performing like rigid airfoils. <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/north-sails-unfurls-game-changing-new-sail-technology/20832/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-android-4-google-december-15/20856/">Galaxy Nexus Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone hits U.S.</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/author/eric-mack/">Eric Mack</a></p> <p><em>20:19 December 14, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111215214136/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-android-4-google-december-15/20856/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111215214136im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/galaxy-nexus.png" title="The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be the first Google Phone pre-loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cr..." alt="The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be the first Google Phone pre-loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cr..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone will soon be available in its country of origin on Wednesday.
