It's easy enough to put together a batch of rolls, but I've always wanted to make my own kaiser rolls. The pattern on top of kaiser rolls had me stumped, though: how exactly did bakers make it? It turns out that the swirl is easy to duplicate, as long as you have a Kaiser Roll Stamp. You just make your roll dough as you would normally and, before you leave the rolls to rise, stamp each bun with the Kaiser Roll Stamp. Your rolls will rise with a swirled pattern across the top with next to no extra … Read more

Kaiser Permanente is notifying its 29,500 Northern California employees that their data may have been exposed in a breach, the company said on Friday. It is unknown exactly how many workers have been affected, but a handful of workers have reported identity fraud as a result of the breach, Kaiser said.

Looking at the AT&T Tilt, you'd think it was just another Windows Mobile smart phone from HTC.

If NTT DoCoMo had its way, one day in the future users might be able to make electronic payments via their mobile phone while the handset remains in their pocket.

The Japanese cell phone operator this week showed off a prototype equipped with a sensor developed by Kaiser Technology that can send electric signals through the human body. Practical uses include opening doors to secure areas without flashing security cards or programmed personal preferences such as drivers' seat and steering wheel angles.

All these are still hanging in the air, though, as the company isn't sure if the technology … Read more

It's packed to the gills with features for the mobile professional, and though we've only had a chance to play with a preproduction unit, we … Read more
