Microsoft - now supporting breasts

It's no longer enough to have smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs, and smart cars. Now a tech company is bringing artificial intelligence to lingerie. Researchers at Microsoft have developed a prototype of a "smart bra" embedded with physiological sensors that seek to monitor a woman's heart activity to track her emotional moods and combat overeating. The sensors can signal the wearer's smartphone, which will then flash a warning message to help her step away from the fridge and make better diet decisions. The company says it has no plans to make the bra into a commercial product, however. So why a bra, exactly? Good question, especially when it comes to something that only one gender will ever use. Here's something that will be of more use: hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Ukrainian capital Kiev seeking the resignation of the government for refusing a deal on closer ties with the European Union. The protesters knocked down a statue of Vladimir Lenin as outrage mounted over the Ukrainian government's push for closer ties with Russia. A crowd of cheering protesters chanted "Good job" after the statue fell in Kiev's Bessarabska Square. Some pounded the monument with hammers, leaving pieces of the statue scattered on the ground. Only parts of the Soviet hero's legs remained at the base. A man waving a Ukrainian flag stood atop the pedestal beside them. Police said they were investigating but did not know know who had toppled the monument. Ukraine's government news agency said a lawmaker with the nationalist Svoboda party claimed responsibility for the incident. "This is the end of Soviet occupation," the party's Twitter account said. "End of the regime of shame and humiliation." And hopefully end of Yanukovych's plans to integrate with Russia.
