Blue Earth - A Phone with Solar Panel by Samsung

Posted by princewins

The phone under the name Blue Earth by Samsung is trying to demonstrate that all they talk is about environmental safety - it is not an empty phrase. As a result, we have the phone, which has a body made of plastic from used plastic bottles by recycling, and supporting eco-mode, which optimally adjusts the brightness of the screen, the duration of illumination and the usage of Bluetooth.

It has a solar panel on its rear surface, which produces enough energy to make a phone call. Its color is blue but it’s a Green Phone. Unfortunately, no information about its technical characteristics is available so far, except that it is a touch screen phone, but it will be on sale in the second half of this year.

iPhone Navigation App by TomTom

Posted by princewins

The most interesting addition in Apple iPhone 3GS with OS 3.0 is that it can be used as a navigation device and the navigation application is powered by TomTom. This Dutch company is specialized in the production of car navigation systems and software for them.

For iPhone TomTom announced a special application (more iPhone resources unlock iphone 3g ), and it will make full use of GPS phone capabilities. The software can display maps in 2D, and 3D mode. In addition, there may be portrait and landscape modes, in which the content are displayed automatically. It comes with its stand for the phone.



In the night mode, brightness of the display will be lowered so that it may not distract the driver’s concentration. TomTom also provided electricity for the iPhone and also enhanced the GPS signal capacity. Presumably this will be achieved through an integrated GPS antenna to the pedestal.

The developers have not forgotten about the fact that iPhone is still a phone while running the navigation application, and as it is equipped with a microphone soit can be used for hands free conversation.

Z-Nano – World’s Smallest Optical Mouse

Posted by princewins


Storage space in bags and suitcases do not allow for a lot of unnecessary gadgets but maybe you could find enough space for the World’s Smallest Optical Mouse. Travelling with a small laptop – especially those without a touch mouse pad is a dreaded experience. Travelling with a full size computer mouse

Instead of that full size and bulky optical laser mouse why not travel with the Z-Nano Optical Mouse that is near the size of the USB end of a USB cable or my dainty little thumb. Does a mouse that is controlled by a finger tip sound too small for you?

Don’t think that the Z-Nano Optical Mouse does not perform up to par. The user can choose optical tracking from 100 DPI all the way up to 1600DPI. Accuracy is a side-effect of the Z-Nano’s high sensitivity.

If you enjoy hands free scrolling the Z-Nano won’t let you down. Automatic hands free scrolling is one of the amazing features of the tiny Z-Nano. Two-button clicking is accomplished from the sides of the Z-Nano.

There is space to add a favourite photo for user personalization and the built in LED light helps you see it in low light conditions.



All in all, the Z-Nano laser optical mouse is very useful and has to be one of the easiest gadget that you can travel with. The USB cable can withstand being packed over and over due to its medical grade materials. A magnet creates a snug fit between the Z-Nano and its USB plug.

Web 3 will be good for Artificial Intelligence

Posted by princewins

Web 3.0 has given opportunity for AI community to work around with huge amount of data, which are always needed by data miners.

Web 3.0 can behave like human mind where we store information in neurons and all are linked other with weight-age of relevance.

Same concept is in web 3.0 where website publishers will organize extra information about data, articles, photos, videos etc. in XML format so it can be used later for data analyzing tools and software or more specifically for crawlers.

Now crawlers also need to change to read those XML not only page contents. Whoever will evolve crawler first will be pioneer in new search engine techniques, and it can be other then Google who monopolize search on internet.

The Semantic Web or Web 3.0 is coming. If we look at Web 2.0 as window dressing, the real shopping will come when Web 3.0 opens its doors for business. Some say Semantic Technology and Web 3.0 are two separate entities. They will co-exist but develop separately. While that debate will continue for some time, what we do know is our online lives are going to get a major assistance from artificial intelligence in the brave new world of the ‘intelligent Web.’

Water Ice Discovered On Asteroid

Posted by princewins


Water ice has been found on the surface of a nearby asteroid for the first time – a discovery that could help explain how Earth got its oceans, scientists announced.
Two teams of researchers independently verified that the asteroid 24 Themis – a large rock hurtling through space in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter – is coated in a layer of frost.

They also found that the asteroid contains organic material, including some molecules that might be ingredients for life. But scientists have not found any evidence for life itself on this asteroid, or anywhere else in the universe beyond Earth.

“This is the first time we’ve actually seen ice – literally H20 – on an asteroid,” said one of the study leaders, Andrew Rivkin of Johns Hopkins University.
Previously, hints that water might be present on 24 Themis were found in the form of hydrated minerals, which were thought to have formed from the reaction of water with rock. But this time the researchers saw the direct signature of water itself, he explained.

Another science team, led by Humberto Campins of University of Central Florida, found the same thing. Both teams used the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility atop on Mauna Kea in Hawaii to make their observations, but conducted them on different nights.

“Our work and their work are very nicely confirming and complementary,” Campins said.
“To our surprise there was water ice, there were organic molecules, and they were more or less evenly distributed throughout the surface,” Campins told, “We thought that was fascinating.”
