In Brazilian industrial designer Fabio Dabori's world, we won't brush our teeth with bristles, synthetic reminders of a barbaric time we cleaned our teeth with animal hair. No, we are enlightened beings, and we will make our pearly whites beam eerily with...a sponge. Electric toothsponges. Dabori says that his patent-pending Giro Sponge holds water, massages gums and polishes teeth all at the same time. He hopes to have it to market soon, with versions for adults and kids. Besides the fact that I think it would feel totally creepy, like brushing your teeth with a wet rag, the real spoiler here is that you would have to floss all the time since it doesn't go between your teeth at all-I hate flossing, and I'm not going to do it more than once a day.
The Toothsponge The Toothbrush of the Future
Toothbrushes haven't changed much. Sure some fancy tech wiz brushes spin the bristles themselves but at the end of the day, after centuries of use, we still have to hold the damn thing. Not anymore. The T2T is a hands free toothbrush that you slip onto your tongue to do your teeth cleaning. It's the grossest way to be hygienic.
Before, hands-free brushing just meant not brushing your teeth and popping a gum in your mouth. Though that may freshen your breath for a minute or two, it doesn't do too much to actually clean those plaque critters from the enamel. The T2T is coated in toothpaste and you basically twirl your tongue around and let the bristles (it looks like plastic?) get the gunk out.
I know what you're thinking. This is magnificently stupid. And it probably is! I can't imagine a scenario where applying this onto my tongue is easier than just spending the few minutes brushing my teeth. But let's entertain the silliness. By using the tongue brusher, you won't have foam seeping out of your mouth and your arms would be free to do other tasks like driving a car or turning a page of a book or typing a manuscript or beating the drums or whatever you could do with two free hands. I just mimicked a tongue cleaning right now and was able to land nearly all 32 of my teeth (the bottom molars would be tough for me to get to). I looked like a complete buffoon while doing it but was able to use my keyboard just fine!
But I leave with one question, what cleans the tongue when the tongue does the cleaning?
The Tongue Toothbrush Is the Grossest Way to Be Hygienic
It looks like the days of BlackBerry being an independent company are over. Trading on shares of the company was halted today when the company made it known that it had a major announcement coming. The announcement: It had signed a letter of intent to be purchased by Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. for $4.7 billion, or $9 a share, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Shares had been down 5.6% before trading halted, to $8.23, in the wake of Friday's news that the company would cut its staff by 40% and stop selling devices to consumers. The $9 price tag represents just 4% of Blackberry's peak share value, Journal reporter Shira Ovide tweets. Fairfax currently owns about 10% of BlackBerry, making it the company's biggest shareholder. The Canadian-based company will buy all of the company's outstanding shares. Click for more on its ill-fated company jet.

Apple's new iPhones went on sale this weekend, and it seems customers were plenty ready: They picked up more than 9 million units of the 5S and 5C, a record for the first weekend of sales, the company notes. "This is our best iPhone launch yet," CEO Tim Cook says in a press release, via Business Insider. The site notes that sales might have been even higher had more units been available: Apple nearly sold out of the phones this weekend, but retailers are still getting regular shipments, the company says. Some 5 million units of the original iPhone 5 were sold on its opening weekend, the Verge notes.

The Chrysler Group has filed paperwork for an initial public offering for some of its shares—the first time the company's shares will be publicly traded since 1998, the AP reports. The move comes at the behest of a United Auto Workers retirement trust, which owns 41.5% of the company, reports USA Today. The trust provides medical coverage for 115,000 former workers and their families, reports the New York Times. Chrysler has set a maximum proposed offering price of $100 million, though that may change, the AP reports.
The move is sure to annoy CEO Sergio Marchionne, who is also the CEO of Fiat, which owns the other 58.5% of the company, notes the Times. Marchionne wants to merge the two auto companies, but the trust thinks its stake is worth more than Fiat is willing to pay, and would rather let the market determine the price. "The union took a very high risk when it accepted shares in a bankrupt company four years ago to cover health care for retirees,” says a labor professor from UC Berkley. "Now they want to share in Chrysler’s success."
Chrysler Files For IPO
European authorities raided the offices of BP, Shell, Statoil, and other companies involved in the oil business yesterday, as part of an investigation into what they suspect is a more than decade-old conspiracy to rig oil prices. The European Commission said it had launched "unannounced inspections" of oil company offices in Britain, the Netherlands, and Norway, the Guardian reports. The companies have been accused of colluding to report artificially high prices to a benchmarking agency, much the way banks conspired to fix Libor rates.
"Even small distortions of assessed prices may have a huge impact on the prices of crude oil," which could in turn hurt consumers at the pump, the EC said in a statement, according to the Telegraph. While it didn't name its targets, BP, Shell, Norway's largely government-owned Statoil, and the price reporting firm Platts all say they're cooperating with investigators, with Statoil confirming a raid aided by Norwegian antitrust authorities. Though there's no timetable for the investigation, the AP believes political pressure is likely to mount for more regulation of the industry.

Napoli kept up their 100 per cent start to the 2013-14 season with an impressive 2-1 over AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday.
The visitors started the game brightly and were soon ahead through Miguel Britos, with Gonzalo Higuain doubling their lead just after half-time.
Mario Balotelli squandered the chance to regain a foothold in the match, missing the first penalty of his career, though the Italy international scored a brilliant consolation strike at the death.
Both sides enjoyed winning starts to their Champions League campaigns on Wednesday, and the hosts made three changes from their 2-0 success over Celtic as Ignazio Abate, Urby Emanuelson and Andrea Poli replaced Cristian Zaccardo, Kevin Constant and Antonio Nocerino.
Meanwhile, Rafael Benitez made two alterations from Napoli's 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, with Giandomenico Mesto and Blerim Dzemaili coming in for Christian Maggio and Gokhan Inler.
Benitez’s side flew out of the traps and carved out a host of early opportunities, with Valon Behrami and Higuain particularly threatening.
And this early pressure paid off when Britos headed home from close range after just five minutes.
The Uruguayan stole into the six-yard box and converted calmly after defensive partner Raul Albiol had knocked a deep free-kick back across goal.
Milan's top scorer Balotelli brought a good save out of Pepe Reina four minutes later as the hosts sought an immediate response, and the lively Italy international then curled a free-kick just wide shortly after.
The home side dominated the remainder of the half, but struggled to create any clear-cut chances as the Napoli defence stood firm in the face of lengthy spells of Milan possession.
While Massimiliano Allegri’s men continued their bright play in the second half, they quickly fell further behind thanks to Higuain's third league goal of the season after 53 minutes.
The Argentina international struck a powerful effort from outside the area and Christian Abbiati was unable to prevent the shot from finding the bottom corner, even though he got a hand to it.
Milan were handed a way back into the game a minute before the hour mark though when Albiol brought down Balotelli in the box.
However, the forward was thwarted by a superb Reina save, the Spaniard getting down well to his right as the former Manchester City and Inter man missed the first penalty of his career.
Undeterred, the ever-dangerous Balotelli threatened again 10 minutes later as he struck a powerful against the bar.
And the 23-year-old did eventually get the goal his performance deserved as he bent a glorious strike past the helpless Reina in the 91st minute, but Napoli held on to maintain their perfect start to the Serie A season.
The defeat was compounded for Milan after the final whistle when Balotelli was shown a red card, with his dismissal appearing to be for dissent.
AC Milan 1-2 Napoli

Bruce Jenner's face went under the knife again.
But this time it was for medical, as opposed to cosmetic, reasons.
TMZ is reporting that Kim Kardashian's stepfather had surgery on his nose Monday to remove a hunk of cancer, resulting in 30 stitches. The former Olympian (and current questionable plastic surgery poster boy) was snapped sporting a big bandage the next day in Calabasas, Calif.
Doctors are pointing to golf-induced sun damage as the culprit, the website says.
It's not the first time Jenner's face has had cancer carved out of it. Last year, the right side, just in front of his ear and under his sideburn, fell victim.
Jenner has given a statement to his Keeping Up With the Kardashians reality home, E! News.
"I was diagnosed with a form of melanoma called basal cell carcinoma and have undergone Mohs surgery to remove it. I have been struggling with this for several years and appreciate all of the support and prayers while I continue to fight the battle against skin cancer."
The statement is medically confusing, considering the fact that basal cell is, by National Library of Medicine definition, a relatively minor, non-melanoma form of skin cancer.

WASHINGTON — When NASA began planning for a return visit to the moon several years ago, the agency naturally started building the necessary infrastructure to get there.
That included a $350 million test stand at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi to accommodate special testing requirements for rockets being built as part of what was called the Constellation Program.
The test stand was only two-thirds complete when President Obama canceled Constellation in 2010. Directed by Congress to finish the project anyway, NASA spent another $57 million on it. When it's completed this month, the test stand will sit idle indefinitely until a new use is found, but will still cost taxpayers $900,000 a year to maintain.
The A-3 test stand will join a growing list of unused or underutilized structures costing the space agency tens of millions of dollars to maintain each year, according to NASA Inspector General Paul Martin. An in-house study last year estimated that NASA has up to 865 "unneeded" facilities, collectively costing more than $24 million in annual upkeep, he said.
An audit the inspector general's office released in February identified another 33 facilities, including wind tunnels, thermal vacuum chambers and other launch infrastructure, that NASA wasn't fully utilizing or that had no identifiable future mission. Taxpayers spent $43 million in 2011 to maintain those facilities.
Martin told a House, Science, Space and Technology subcommittee Friday that NASA's attempts to determine what it needs to get rid of haven't gotten far mainly due to "fluctuating and uncertain requirements."
Over the past six years, NASA's goal in human exploration of space has transitioned from the space shuttle program to the Constellation Program to the Space Launch System that targets a Mars mission by the 2030s.
"Changes to national space policy initiated by the president and Congress have increased the difficulty of determining which facilities NASA needs," Martin told lawmakers. "Because decisions about whether to retain specific facilities depends heavily upon the missions NASA undertakes, frequent changes to these missions complicate the agency's efforts to manage its infrastructure."
The issue is especially problematic for NASA, where more than 80% of facilities are at least 40 years old and beyond their design life. In addition, the estimated cost of NASA's backlog of deferred maintenance projects stood at $2.3 billion in 2012.
Even when the agency sees a chance to make money off its surplus property, it's not easy.
Members of Congress are raising concerns about NASA's plan to lease the historic Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which costs the agency $1.2 million a year to maintain. The pad, which supported the Apollo and shuttle programs, is no longer being used. Agency officials said they will demolish the pad unless they find a tenant.
NASA officials were close to leasing the pad to SpaceX, an aerospace company that was the first to fly cargo to the International Space Station, until another company, Blue Origin, submitted a competing bid to take over pad 39A and operate it as a multi-user facility.
Earlier this month, Blue Origin filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office, effectively delaying any action on a lease until possibly Dec. 12, the GAO's deadline to rule on the matter.
The dispute between the two companies has spilled into Congress, with some members urging NASA to open the pad to multiple users and others backing the agency's handling of the issue.
On Friday, two panel members — Republican Mo Brooks of Alabama and Democrat Ami Bera of California — said NASA should opt for a multi-user lease.
"I have reservations about the potential adverse effect on our space program of one of our primary launch pads being taken over by one user," Brooks said. "In my judgment, (it) would tend to both stifle competition and reduce the ability of 39A to be used as a backup by other private users or by NASA itself."
But GOP Rep. Bill Posey, whose Florida district includes Kennedy Space Center, asked members to let NASA do its job. Too often, the agency's attempts to act efficiently have been hampered by politics, he said.
"Billions and billions and billions of dollars (have been) wasted because we have the parochial interests of different members trying to micromanage what NASA does," he said. "It's like a city councilman trying to tell a police chief who to arrest and who not to arrest."
NASA spends 24 million $ a year on unneeded facilities
While there are some phenomenal new cameras on the market, sometimes budget trumps all other concerns. Maybe you're looking for a gift or a starter camera for someone you know, but you don't have a ton of money to sink on something that may not last forever. Enter the Canon PowerShot A2600 ($149 MSRP): a bargain-buy point-and-shoot that may not outperform higher-end cameras, but does give you a reliable option for quick snaps to share with friends.
The controls are about as basic as they get, and there are several shooting modes that cover just about all of the common situations you'd want a point-and-shoot for. Fireworks, snowy pictures and even low-light situations all have presets, so the A2600 should feel at home in a variety of situations. Mind you, the picture quality leaves much to be desired, but this will work in a pinch — especially for Facebook photos.
We should point out that we did have some fun with the effects filters on the A2600. While your picture quality isn't going to fool anyone into thinking you're a pro, filters like the toy camera mode (faux-vignetting) and miniaturization (faux-bokeh) will make your pictures look very interesting — if you're creative in how you use them.
Given the price of the A2600, it's a tempting camera to give your kids, but that may not be a good idea. The casing doesn't feel very sturdy, so it will not survive the rough and tumble of a kid's adventures. Additionally, the camera doesn't have much in the way of grip, so handling may be difficult in fast-paced situations.
Assuming you've equipped the strap and are ready to start snapping photos, you'll be delighted to see an acceptably large screen with an attractive menu. This is a huge plus, but the buttons are somewhat small and hard to press if you're operating the camera with one hand.
Despite older models of Canon point-and-shoots using AA batteries, the A2600 does not. Those of you who want to use the A2600 for long periods of time may want to pick up an extra NB-11L battery to extend its life on a night out or family trip.
Let's face it: For under $150, you're not going to be getting a camera that stays in your family from generation to generation. However, if you're looking to grab a basic camera on the cheap, the Canon PowerShot A2600 is definitely worth checking out.
The Canon A2600 is a camera that gets the job done without costing too much money.

Enterprise behemoths EMC and IBM are taking a close look at buying major infrastructure-as-a-service provider SoftLayer in a deal that could be worth more than $2 billion, Reuters reports.
Dallas-based SoftLayer closely competes with Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Microsoft Azure, and others to help companies with their IaaS needs. In the cloud space, SoftLayer’s name doesn’t get thrown around like Amazon and Rackspace, but it is a popular choice for IaaS and has more than 25,000 small-to-huge customers, including AT&T, SendGrid, Citrix, and Path. It has 13 data centers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and has raised $30 million in venture capital to date.
The fact that both EMC and IBM are showing interest in buying SoftLayer shows that the company has been successful in recruiting customers to use its public cloud over so many other choices.
IBM especially is interesting since it already offers its own cloud infrastructure products. Perhaps this means IBM wants SoftLayer’s data centers and tech to bolster its efforts.
Storage giant EMC, however, could be looking at SoftLayer to combine with the efforts of cloud services giant VMware, which it owns a majority stake of. EMC’s latest big move is a joint spin-off with VMware called The Pivotal Initiative, which focuses on “big data” and data processing services.
VentureBeat is creating an index of the top 'arms merchants' of the cloud. Take a look at our initial suggestions and complete the survey to help us build a definitive index. We’ll publish the official index later this month, and for those who fill out surveys, we’ll send you an expanded report free of charge.

AC Milan scored twice in the last 10 minutes to undo a spirited Celtic performance in their Group H Champions League opener in Italy.
The visitors came close with a Georgios Samaras shot and an Anthony Stokes free-kick, which struck the crossbar.
In a stroke of misfortune for Celtic, Cristian Zapata's strike was deflected into his own net by Emilio Izaguirre.
And Muntari knocked in a loose ball after Mario Balotelli's curling free-kick was palmed by Fraser Forster.
The result is Celtic's 20th loss in 22 away group outings but those sorry figures do not reflect what was an impressive display from Neil Lennon's men, which will provide hope for coming games against Barcelona and Ajax once the pain has subsided.
Led by the industry and composure of captain Scott Brown, Celtic matched the seven-time European Cup winners for most of the game and had chances to take the lead at the San Siro.
From an indirect free-kick, Charlie Mulgrew's shot from 10 yards out was charged down by a cluster of defenders racing from the goal-line.
Samaras hammered a shot narrowly wide, Brown was denied a clear run of goal by a brilliant Nigel de Jong tackle and Stokes found the junction of post and crossbar with a lovely free-kick just a few minutes before the deadlock was broken.
Efe Ambrose and Virgil van Dijk were as imposing as the snow-capped mountains that border the city, doing a wonderful job of protecting Forster, although the goalkeeper made his own contribution to an excellent display from Lennon's side.
He was fortunate that a ferocious 18-yard volley from Balotelli flew straight at him in the opening minutes as the hosts started strongly.
And Forster needed to look sharp to push away a glancing header from Alessandro Matri before Antonio Nocerino fizzed a shot over.
But Balotelli and Matri did not link up well in attack for AC Milan, with the former Manchester City forward a peripheral figure for long spells.
Indeed, Balotelli spent most of the first 45 minutes shrugging his shoulders on the left flank, apparently unhappy that a couple of robust challenges on him had not yielded fouls.
The Italy striker did, however, come very close to opening the scoring in the final moments of the first half when his deflected strike looked destined for the bottom corner before Forster produced a marvellous diving stop.
Samaras scored in all three of Celtic's away games in last year's successful group campaign and the Greek forward thought he had done it again after the interval when his slaloming run culminated with a fizzing shot that swerved inches wide.
He later powered into the six-yard box to connect with a header but his effort was blocked by a defender.
There was a huge let-off for Celtic when Muntari somehow missed with a close-range header.
And the visitors nearly took advantage when a slick counter-attack involving Stokes and Kris Commons released Brown into the penalty box, only for De Jong to make a terrific sliding challenge.
Celtic, who earned nine corners, came closer still when Stokes' free-kick clipped the Milan crossbar.
The Italians laboured for periods, with the home support voicing their frustration, but the stadium exploded in joyous relief as the hearts of travelling fans sunk when Zapata's raking strike clipped Izaguirre and left Forster wrong-footed.
Much was made of the home side's long injury list but there were still several big names on display in red and black and Balotelli made amends for his disappointing display with a curling free-kick that had Forster palming the ball out, but Muntari was on hand to convert from close range.
AC Milan 2 - 0 Celtic
Lionel Messi scored a superb Champions League hat-trick as Barcelona ran Ajax ragged in their Group H opener at the Nou Camp.
The Argentinian striker was at his effortless best, despatching a fine first-half free-kick and then producing two clinical finishes either side of Gerard Pique's header.
Ajax were passengers in the second period and were denied even a consolation when Victor Valdes saved Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's penalty.
Barcelona 4 - 0 Ajax
Aaron Ramsey continued his fine form to help earn Arsenal a record 10th successive away win as they strode past Marseille in the Champions League.
Ramsey's goal six minutes from time settled the contest when he collected Kieran Gibbs' ball to fire in from 16 yards for his sixth in seven games.
Theo Walcott's volley midway through the second half gained control of the game after some early scares.
A stoppage-time penalty by Marseille's Jordan Ayew made little difference.
Ramsey brought down Andre Ayew for the spot-kick, with the Marseille forward appearing to make the most of any contact.
Marseille 1 - 2 Arsenal

A new patent suggests that Apple
may add text-to-speech functionality to its Notes app, specifically for communicating in a different language.
The feature will translate text into a desired language, and then convert that text to speech that can then be read aloud. Any integration with Siri is unclear.
The translation feature will be listed as another option from the pop up menu — along with cut, copy and paste — that currently shows up on the iPhone upon selecting a particular phrase.
Google Translate for the iPhone currently offers a similar functionality. The app reads an English word or phrase in a different language of your choice.
A Notes integration could potentially prove much more useful, with key phrases like "How do I get to the train station?" available in different languages at the ready.
Would you use a translate feature within Notes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Apple Patent Hints At Text ToSpeech Translation For Notes
Google today released the 2013 version of its 32GB Nexus 7 with 4G LTE in Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, the UK, Japan, and Korea. You can grab it now from Google Play for approximately $349.
That’s the price for the US; the device arrived there just last week. The amount will of course vary for other countries, but you can expect it to be similarly more expensive than the Wi-Fi models, which go for $229 (16GB) and $269 (32GB).
Google has said before that it was planning a broad international rollout for the Nexus 7, but didn’t detail timing. The LTE version is now available in nine countries, where delivery time varies between three and 12 days; we’ll keep you posted as we learn of more launches.

A VA database administrator mistakenly deleted the materials, which had been uploaded to the VA’s home loan programs online application since mid-March, according to VA spokeswoman Jo Schuda. The incident happened May 24 at the Cleveland VA Regional Office, which according to the office’s website serves 1.1 million Ohio veterans and their dependents. The online application is used by VA staff and the department’s loan partners, including lenders and appraisers.
Among the hundreds of thousands of deleted files were active loan files, appraisal documents and grant documents for veterans and service members who qualify for the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant, Schuda said. This program helps disabled vets and service members obtain homes that are specially equipped or renovations that accommodate their disabilities, VA’s website states.
Schuda could not say how many veterans and service members are affected, where they live or whether they have or will be contacted. It also isn’t clear to what extent the incident will add delays to VA’s grants and loan process.
Schuda said no personal information was compromised.
Schuda said VA staff are being retrained to prevent the error from occurring again. In addition, the department has hired a contractor to “ensure disaster recovery is effective in the future,” she added, but declined to name the contractor.
Catherine Gromek, spokeswoman for the VA inspector general, said in a statement the office does not have enough information to decide if a review of the incident is warranted.
Gerald Manar, deputy director of national veterans service at the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the loss of the data introduces the prospect of huge delays for veterans who filed applications.
In recent months, VA has drawn fire for its growing benefits claim backlog, which now totals about 860,000, including almost 570,000 more than 125 days old. The agency has instituted 20 hours of overtime a month for its 10,000 claims processing employees through the end of fiscal 2013. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki has vowed to eliminate the backlog by 2015 and replace the paper process with a digital one.

There are few better places to watch the defeat of one of the major English clubs than Goodison Park.
The old stadium seemingly magnifies the noise tenfold, the roar of the crowd growing ever more frantic as Evertonians anticipate a famous victory.
Saturday was just such an evening. Everton, with Ross Barkley outstanding and Leon Osman, Gareth Barry and Steven Naismith to the fore, were excellent. Chelsea, despite an array of chances, looked strangely vulnerable amid the cacophony of noise.
It will be a while before we can question Chelsea’s transition under Jose Mourinho but it is fair to say seven points from four games and a UEFA Super Cup defeat, albeit on penalties, was not the start he would have anticipated.
This does not look like Mourinho’s Chelsea at present. They lack the authority of old, with neither overwhelming strength nor ruthlessness under pressure. They look a team with an identity crisis, caught between the manager’s requirements and the owner’s vision.
‘Artistic football without goals is not good,’ said Mourinho as he listed the litany of chances his team missed, debutant Samuel Eto’o and summer signing Andre Schurrle bearing the brunt of his criticism.
He offered no easy excuses for the slackness in defence and finishing. ‘I don’t think it’s a question of sharpness,’ he said before identifying the lazy ball from Schurrle on 28 minutes and the delay from Eto’o that allowed Barry back to block in front of an open goal after Tim Howard’s mix-up with Sylvain Distin.
‘Perhaps it is not having the killer instinct. If they don’t have it they have to get it but I think they have it.
‘My team are always my team. Winning, losing, playing badly, they are always my responsibility. Later they will have more the identity of the manager and it’s easier to do that after five months than after four weeks.’
Everton - Chelsea 1-0
