The ever-changing technology industry is a hard market to keep up with. Today, electronic devices like smartphones and tablets are so advanced they can do just about anything but read you a bedtime story (there’s actually probably an app for that) and they are only getting more sophisticated as developers discover more and more ways to simplify our lives with the help of each mobile device.
I thought I’d seen it all when I read about the robot that will fetch you a beer from your refrigerator, but this one might take the cake.
Earlier this week, the Huffington Post (News - Alert) shared a story about a solar powered bikini that can charge your gadgets, that is sure to have tech geeks everywhere running from behind their computer screens and heading to the beach.

For all you ladies out there who have a hard time balancing working on your tan and keeping up with the latest electronics, an American designer has come up with just the solution for you.  The Solar Bikini was designed by Andrew Schneider of Brooklyn, NY and uses the sun’s rays to power iPods, iPhones and any other gadget with a USB connector.

This week the whole world is caught up in Rep. Anthony Weiner's sexting/Twitter scandal. In other recent political meltdowns, Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Edwards both fathered children with women other than their wives. It's pretty hard for them to deny cheating. But what do we make of Rep. Weiner? Most of us would agree that his behavior is inappropriate at best. I'm not aware of who exactly he was in contact with or for how long – my guess is more information will continue to surface. But did he actually "cheat" on his wife? Should he lose his job and marriage because he had the extremely poor judgment to send explicit photos and texts like a haphazard teenager?

The truth is, technology is moving so fast that many couples have never even discussed ground rules of what's OK and what's not with their spouses when it comes to behavior online. The case of Rep. Weiner is a good opportunity for couples to learn from his experience and to initiate a discussion with their significant others about where each one personally draws the line in terms of cheating.
