Classic Match Foosball ($100)features eight 2-axis control bars, an app and an iPad charging dock. The App provides the appropriate sound effects when you spin the bars and hit the ‘ball’.
The 30-pin connector doesn’t fit the new iPad, though.
When it’s an extra dimension.
Yes.
The expected announcement of a second State inquiry into the death of Savita Halappanavar is “an extra dimension, rather than a U-turn”, according to Minister for Health James Reilly.
The board of the Health Information and Quality Authority is expected to confirm today that it will undertake a statutory investigation into Ms Halappanavar’s death, following a request from the Health Service Executive.
It was unclear last night whether her husband Praveen, who says he will have nothing to do with the HSE inquiry, will co-operate with the investigation to be conducted by the authority, which is the State’s health watchdog.

Japanese RC helicopter company Hirobo plans to introduce its single passenger helicopter by 2021. It runs on a silent electric motor for 30 minutes at a time and can reach speeds of 100km/h.
The company envisages the prototype as a rescue vehicle (its silent operation making it easier to hear the cries of casualties) but for now, commercial release is stalled for unspecified legal reasons.
The unmanned version is expected to cost $125,000 and the one-seat variant will cost $375,000.
But, you know…
