"<p>What if you never had to stick a thermometer in your mouth, or ear (or elsewhere) ever again? <a href=""http://www.withings.com/eu/en/products/thermo"">The Withings Thermo</a> is a step in that direction. With built-in infrared sensors that take your temp, the Thermo just needs a little skin time. Apply directly to the forehead and you have your temperature  immediately, both on the Thermo's display and on the accompanying smartphone app. It's not quite a tricorder, but it's a step in that direction! </p>"
