Qualcomm/Skyhook Deal: Exit Strategy?
You probably saw the PR on Qualcomm's announcement yesterday that it would put Skyhook's locating technology into its location platform. Silicon Insider suggest if things work out it could be a fine exit strategy. Skyhook's funding comes from Bain Capital, RRE Ventures, and Intel Capital.

Remote sensing via thrown "ball" camera
A Scottish company is developing the "grenade-like" device called the I-Ball (cute) which shoots realtime video after being thrown by hand or via a launcher, then again when it lands. The idea is to provide information on "what's ahead" to soldiers. The camera delivers 360 degree views wirelessly.

U.S. Healthiest City? Burlington, VT
My training partner sent me this link since she recalled I ran the marathon there on Memorial Day and stayed with my aunt and uncle. The Centers for Disease Control put the city on top.
The most interesting part of the article is the comparison of this "top" city in health, with its opposite, Huntingdon, WV. The two are similar in some ways: out of the way, colleges town with mostly white populations. But, Burlington is a bit younger, more community focussed, has more people with college educations and has less poverty.
