In modern times , the yellow and orange colours came to be associated with dangerous activities from the time operators of functions in which was necessary to be seen in all light and wheather conditions begun to wear garments and accessories in bright hues of these colours and studies confirmed their utility in minimizing the number of accidents.
Deck crews on plane carriers, motorways workers, traffic police, rescue and first help personnel, in recent times have all been fitted out with as much as possible of elements in those colours and entire service vehicles have been painted accordingly.

Gadgets and machinery that need to be used in difficult condition have also been shown to benefit from yellow or orange colours; specially if they might incur in the risk of being lost in snow, darkness, high vegetation etc. or/and if the operator must be able to find these tools in a very short time among other elements or in a confusing environment.

Because of all these reasons there's much more that could be said about the subliminal messages that certain gadgets, apparel and tools transmit if painted in these colours, but I'm bored and surely so are you.

They don't make cheap survey equipment, so I don't expect this will be aimed at the general public. But if you're spending $90k on a total-station, this might be a great accessory.]]>Feb 21st 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/Feb 21st 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/http://www.geopad.net/

This is a Vista machine so it'll be interesting to see what software options are out there, but I bet this thing runs $4k for just the hardware.]]>Feb 21st 2009 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/21/trimble-rolls-out-rugged-yuma-umpc/
