A new high-tech phone has come out that puts vibrate to shame. When you touch the phone's screen, it gives you the feeling of a textured surface. Basically, phones have relied on elliptical vibration motors to create a vibrating sensation but that is being replaced with a piezoelectric actuator. They respond quicker and create mechanical stress in an answer to applied voltage or the other way around. This high-tech phone was previwed at the Mobile World Congress, which showed how the phone and its new technology worked. Instead of oscillating at about once every 50 milliseconds, it works at 100 micrometers every millisecond. Because of this, it will reduce how much a person needs to look at the screen when using their mobile device. In addition to this, Immersion is working on having the middle virtual button stick out more than the rest of the virtual buttons. Hence, the most interesting part of all of this is the lateral movement of the screen, which tricks the touch sense into feeling an upward pressure.

Documents Show BP Opposed New, Stricter Safety Rules

BP PLC has been arguing against new, stricter safety rules that the U.S. agency proposed last year. BP has proclaimed that the rules are fine the way they are.The oil spill occured when an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico caught on fire and sank. BP apparently worked "extremely aggressively" to stop the spill from spreading. In the end, the replacement cost profit was $5.6 billion. 5,000 feet below the ocean surface, 1,000 barrels of oil a day are leaking and are supposed to reach land by the weekend. BP has adopted policies, which went with the MMS's proposed new rules. BP, including other companies, did object to the need for companies to file regular audits of their saftey programs with the agency. Since, the oil leak has happened, BP has been going crazy. When the spill first occurred, BP sent five remote-controlled robots to the seabed to try to start the equipment that is supposed to stop the oil from spreading. Hence, BP is doing its best to try to contain the oil spill.
