Today is the era of induction cookers which make the kitchen look
neat and clean and get the job done quickly but well, these just let you
cook. That's it.
In near future, you would have be able to buy "Future Cook".
The amazing Future Cook is a different beast altogether. This is an
interactive
kitchen counter, with built in induction hobs, food processor and
washing area so it basically has everything. The Future Cook will even
show you nutritional information
on the food that you're cooking, and even recipes that you can follow
for that tasty food. So who would need a whole kitchen with a whole lot
of space for everything when you have "Future Cook"......
Here comes the news that matters to millions of PC users around the world. There have been a lot of times when we had to clean the keyboard because we spilled something on it or had chips all over it. Yes, it had been a real mess and it was so hard to clean it that we spend the whole day with no success whatsoever. Well, don't worry the science has done it again and made that so much simpler.
Logitech today unveiled its new PC keyboard -- "the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310" -- that could change the life of all the clumsy PC users.
The K310, which Logitech says can tolerate anything and can be washed multiple times and can be submerged in up to 11 inches of water, and then left out to dry.
Now isn't that the most awesome thing that we have all heard this year? Well, not quite. This keyboard will be available in the markets this month for $39.99. Now this is Awesome.......:)
We all know that the Samsung Galaxy SIII beats iPhone 4s on scratch and drop
tests, but what happens when both phones get dragged by a car? check the video above and find out what happens......................
Sometime this summer, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner will leap from the edge of space, attempting to not only break the sound barrier with his body, but also break the record for the longest freefall. As no one has successfully jumped from this height before, it’s uncertain what the highest supersonic freefall in history will look or feel like. This animated video put out by the Red Bull Stratos team provides a sense of what to expect during the attempt.
“After years of training with my team of dedicated Red Bull Stratos experts, I’ll be going on a journey that no one has ever done,” Baumgartner told Universe Today in 2010 in an email message. “If I succeed, I will be the first person to break the sound barrier, alone. That will be a record for all eternity. As such, a piece of me will become immortal. That excites me.”
42-year-old Baumgartner is hoping to jump from nearly 37 km (23 miles, 120,000 feet) to break the current jump record held by Joe Kittinger a retired Air Force officer, who jumped from 31,500 meters (31.5 km, 19.5 miles, 102,000 ft) in 1960. Now 83, Kittinger is assisting Baumgartner in preparations for the jump.
There have been several attempts to surpass Kittinger’s record, but none have succeeded, and people have given their lives for the quest. Kittinger’s jump contributed valuable data that provided ground work for spacesuit technology and knowledge about human physiology for the US space program.
If Baumgartner is successful, the Red Bull Stratos mission will break four world records: the altitude record for freefall, the distance record for longest freefall, the speed record for fastest freefall by breaking the speed of sound with the human body, and the altitude record for the highest manned balloon flight.
How fast will Baumgarter need to go to beat the speed of sound? Sound travels at different speeds through the atmosphere (as well as through different mediums), depending on atmospheric density and temperature. For example, at sea level, in average conditions of about 15 degrees C (59 degrees F), sound travels at around 1,223 kph (760 mph). But at higher altitudes, where the air is colder, sound travels more slowly. Researchers with the Red Bull Stratos mission anticipate Baumgartner could break the sound barrier at about 30,480 meters (100,000 feet) above sea level, in temperatures of -23 to -40 C (-10 to -40 F) where sound travels at about 1,110 kph (690 mph) or roughly 304 meters per second (1,000 feet per second). So, he’ll have to go faster than those speeds – or Mach 1 — to be supersonic. And the human body isn’t designed for supersonic speeds.“Our biggest concern is that we don’t know how a human unencumbered by aircraft is going to transition through this,” said the project’s Medical Director Dr. Jonathan Clark, a flight surgeon for six space shuttle missions (and husband of astonaut Laurel Clark who died in the Columbia disaster in 2003), who has researched numerous aerospace disasters. “But it’s also exactly what we’re hoping to learn, for the benefit of future space flights.” Documents provided by the Red Bull Stratos mission say that the data obtained from the mission will be shared with the scientific community, and Clark noted that he expects long-awaited medical protocols to be established as a result. A live webcast of the Red Bull Stratos freefall will air on the Red Bull Stratos website.............

Not every online stores has the decreased costs, you will find no changes at Letsbuy.com. Flipkart also has the 32GB Wi-Fi only model retailing at the same old Rs. 26,850. Motorola may soon officially announce reduction in prices however, as the Motorola Xoom 2, and Xoom 2 Media Edition Honeycomb tablets were also introduced early this year, those are expected to be available in India pretty soon too.
The actual Wi-Fi 32B design can be obtained for pretty much Rs. 10, 000 less, which makes it an awesome deal for all those who are interested in a 10. 1-inch Google android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet, due to get an Ice Cream Sandwich update soon enough. The actual Xoom additionally includes a 1GHz dual-core Tegra two processor chip, 1GB MEMORY, the 5MP back digital camera, along with a 2MP entrance digital camera. So its basically fully packed power house.............
It has been a few weeks since we first got the news about Angry Birds coming to Samsung’s Smart TVs, and now it has been revealed that one of the most popular games in the world is now available on select models. Yes, this is true. Angry Birds has been revamped to work with Samsung’s Smart Interaction feature, which means that the user will sling birds without using a remote control or touch interface, as the game is entirely gesture-controlled.
For now the game will work on Samsung’s 2012 LED 7500 Smart TV and up, along with the Plasma 8000 models.
Incase you already own any of the models [LED 7500 (or ups) or the Plasma 8000], then you can just download the Angry Birds app for free from Samsung’s Smart Hub. And if you would like to experience the amazing Angry Birds on the 75-inch ES9000 LED Smart 3D TV that Samsung’s just recently debuted, which packs Angry Birds right on the device, it’s expected to be out in the markets in August starting $9,999................This is awesome news.
This happens to each and everyone of us: you throw a piece of trash at a nearby waste basket and it tosses off the edge and forces you to make that shameful walk to go pick it up and drop it in carefully. Doesn't it?
You only have your own hand-eye coordination skills to blame, but think about it, shouldn't it be the job of the garbage canto collect trash? That certainly seems to be the thought process that led one Japanese inventor to construct a smart trash can that tracks garbage tossed in its general direction and then moves across the floor to catch it.
The "Smart Trashbox" has been created by a modder known as FRP, who custom designed and built almost every component. A concealed wheel base on the bottom gives it a full range of motion, while a Kinect sensor - the go-to device for modders these days - mounted in the room tracks moving objects. The sensor monitors any thing/garbage flying across the room, calculates where it will land, and instantly transmits the data to the waste basket. The final result is that the smart trashbox appears to glide quickly over the floor as it chases after any wayward garbage and catches it.
Right now, FRP is still working on improving the accuracy of the garbage-seeking device, but plans to patent it and possibly bring it to market for consumers. Hopefully this is just one step closer to the robotic garbage cans that sci-fi movies have been promising for years...:)
Even though it has incredibly low density, "Aerogel" is one of the most powerful man-made materials on the planet. It can support thousands times of its own weight, block intense heat, cold and sound – still it is about 1,000 times less dense than
glass, looks nearly as transparent and is composed of %99.8 air. The
lowest-density silica-based aerogels are even lighter than air. [No kiddin] Despite its fragility in certain regards and its incredible lack of
density, aerogel has amazing thermal, acoustical and electrical
insulation properties as illustrated by the images here. A single
one-pound block can also support half a ton of weight. NASA is continuously searching for new space-based applications to use this incredible material. An aerogel window one inch thick has the effective insulative
capacity of a ten-inch thick glass window system. While it is still
expensive and has other limitations, this material – originally
developed nearly a century ago but still undergoing experimentation –
could prove to be one of the most influential materials of the 21st
Century.
Aside from its other capabilities, aerogel also has amazing absorbing
abilities. Some speculate it could be the future solution to oil
spills. It is also being tested as a possible slow-release drug deliver
system for potential human patients............Awesome isn't it???
Finally Intel comes up with its first Android Smartphone, stepping in the most competitive market on this century "The Mobile Market". The phone is named Xolo X900. Though Intel is a late-comer to the
smartphone market, the Medfield powered Xolo X900 launched in collaboration with Indian mobile manufacturer
Lava is pretty impressive. With aggressive marketing strategies, Intel hopes to make big bucks with this smartphone.
Features:
It is powered by Intel's
1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor with Hyper Threading and a 400 MHz graphic
core. It also packs in 1 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory which is ofcourse expandable. Packed inside a sleek and nice looking unibody casing, the design has a little bit resemblance to the iPhone. Although built of plastic, it sports a
rubberised finish on the rear which makes it easier to grip the phone. It features a 4.03" TFT-LCD capacitive touch display under a
Gorilla Glass screen and with a high resolution of 1024x600 thus enabling it to
deliver amazing clarity. And as testes the display is pretty good under bright sunlight.
For its part, the Atom performs as it should and manages to run most
applications smoothly with no noticeable lag. Intel claims the X900 is
among the very few smartphones that can decode 1080p Full HD videos at
60fps (frames per second) due to the Atom. So I'm sure Intel can expect pretty good results with its first phone and hopefully with the phones that it launches in near future. The one thing that it needs to work on is making all android apps work on its phones. As most of the apps are designed to run to the ARM processors, there are some issues with these apps running on a different Intel Atom processor. But still you would access to thousands of other apps that are working well without any noticeable lag.
In all, a great phone has stepped in the smartphones market and looks pretty promising too.
Chinese authorities have blocked some search terms on their search engines related to the 23rd anniversary of the 1989 crackdown against protesters at Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The terms like "six four", "23", "candle" and "never forget", cannot be searched in the Chinese search engines, they do not give any information. For people who do not know about the 1989 unrest, hundreds of pro-democracy protesters gathered in central Beijing were shot dead by troops. It was never disclosed how many people were killed by the government. But it is estimated that it might range from several hundred to several thousand killed. It is believed that censoring any online talk related to the event is extremely important for Beijing this year, as the government gets ready for a leadership handover. Although Google search is not banned in China, people using it are routed to the local engine's servers based in Hong Kong. Google in Hong Kong has recently added a new feature indicating to users as they type, in real time, which words are "sensitive".
