Former ARM chief Warren East has joined Dyson's board of directors.

"Dyson is a bit like ARM really," the 51-year-old told the Financial Times. "They're two UK companies that compete on a global scale representing British engineering and design – and being good at it."

East announced his retirement from ARM in March this year after twelve years at the helm. Since then, he has taken up non-executive roles at US memory manufacturer Micron and the TSB's Connected Digital Economy Catapult.

"Warren has very long sight lines where technology – particularly smart technology – is going in the future, and that's an area that's of interest to us," commented Dyson chief executive Max Conze

Despite a major surplus in the led market, market analyst IHS says top suppliers are increasing their capital spending and production in anticipation of an expected boom in the lighting business.

Global shipments of metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) equipment - tools that are essential for led manufacturing - are expected to rise by 17% this year, a major turnaround from the 70% plunge in 2012.

"The global market for led lighting is expected to double during the next three years," noted Alice Tao, senior analyst for leds and lighting at IHS. "The prospect of this massive growth is irresistible to led suppliers, who don't want to be caught short of supply during this expected boom.

"But given the rising investments in manufacturing equipment, the acute led oversupply already in existence is expected to continue through 2016."

IHS expects the supply of leds, measured in terms of manufactured die, to exceed demand by 69% in 2013 and in 2014. The glut is then predicted to decline slightly to 61% in 2015 and then to 40% in 2016.

If you were to ask people, it is safe to assume that most of them would want to remain as young as possible – forever even, which is why there has been many legends whispered about the elusive Fountain of Youth, or how about emperors in the Far East who have always searched for the elixir of youth but came up empty handed? The answer is simple – everyone dies eventually, but this does not mean that you should not make an attempt to look your youngest possible throughout your life! Other than having a happy and healthy one, you could always enlist a little bit of help from gadgets such as the $149.95 Neck Firming Stimulator. The Neck Firming Stimulator is one device which will firm up the muscles of the neck in order to help diminish wrinkles and sagging skin. This is touted to be the same kind of technology that was implemented by professional estheticians, boasting dual electrode nodules that have been built into each of the two included handheld units in order to emit harmless, mild electrical micro currents which will be able to gently contract muscles in the neck so that the skin will be tightened, leaving you with a firm, lifted appearance. Different from creams sold by snake oil salesmen, the electrical stimulation is said to penetrate deep into muscles to increase subcutaneous blood circulation and oxygenation, which would help reduce the amount of sagging of the skin around your neck.
