Forget the chairs--get a massage bed

Anyone who's been to a mall in the last decade or so knows that massage chairs are a dime a dozen (well, maybe a few grand a dozen). But what about a massage bed? Now we're talking.

The "Heated Shiatsu MassageBed" from Relax The Back isn't just one of those vibrating quarter-operated motel beds, as its $1,995 price tag indicates. Not only does it have all the features of a fully loaded massage chair, but it also has 14 rollers made of jade. That's right, as in the jewelry.

"Since jade is known as a natural transmitter of far-infrared rays, the heat penetrates up to 3 inches deep into tired muscles to create a uniform warmth that is felt for up to one hour. The results include the reduced toxins in the body and increased circulation," according to its Web site. We can practically hear the Enya soundtrack already.

Some of these beds are great but the cheap ones can cause discomfort and hurt the back.
One needs to do the research and find the original Inventors who patented the technology when they invented the bed. They were invented in 1988 in Korea and were certified by the Korean Government.
The technology has now been perfected and the beds do wonderful things for all kinds of health problems. JE Medical Invented the beds.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
