 MyBrandz is building a social community around the brands consumers use, know, and love in their everyday lives – independent of the brand maker’s influence or control. Just how much do people love their brandz? Enough to get the corporate logos of their favorite brands and products tattooed on their bodies!  Israel company Tactile World’s new mouse, the Tactile Explorer, is the first major development to enhance computing for the blind in over two decades. Far cheaper and easier to use than existing solutions – with prices under $500 for the equipment and software, instead of the minimum $5,000 for current solutions – the Tactile Explorer will be able to put millions of blind people around the world online – and put them to work, as well.
