The Sims 3

In 2008 Electronic Arts released the first images and videos of the new ‘life simulator’ called The Sims 3; the official release of the game will take place on the 20th of February 2009 and we will all have to wait until then to fully enjoy it.

Until we can install it on our PCs, let’s have a look at the new elements that Sims 3 brings: first of all, Read the rest of this entry…

Golden Shellback

The number one enemy of electronic gadgets is, beyond any doubt, water. The cameras and the mobile phones are among the most popular holiday companions.

However, they are also the more likely to suffer such „accidents” as splashes and sinking (especially when the destination  is the hotel pool or the beach).

Golden Shellback  is Read the rest of this entry…

The uncomfortable sensations of dizziness or equilibrium loss, provoked by a muffled ear (or both) due to the passage from a high to a low altitude can now be avoided with the help of a depressurizing device which is put in the auditory canal.

The gadget, generically called Ear Pressure Equalizer, Read the rest of this entry…

3D Face Print

ThatsMyFace.com is a site that will put your face on pretty much anything that is carrying size. It is actually a very easy service to use. To give them two photos of your mug and you are set.

The name of the  site wittingly suggests what will be the first thing you will say when you see the result of their service. Of course, I am thinking that AmIThatUgly.com or ThatsNotMe.com weren’t as catchy. Read the rest of this entry…

Bluezero Car

The 3 new cars from Mercedes that are going to be eco friendly are the Blue Zero brand. Each of the new 3, has a different clean technology. Two of them will appear at the Detroit Auto Show.

The 3 technologies are electric engine, fuel cell power and the gas propelled power generator. All of them are competing to get ahead in the still young auto market. As all green cars, the mileage is very important. And this is an aspect that Mercedes takes into consideration. Read the rest of this entry…

Wind Tower

With turbines being the best way to harness the wind power, the major disadvantage of wind power was getting it from open spaces to urban places. Doctor Majid Rashidi has come up with the idea of a wind tower built on top of tall buildings that will get all the wind they need to produce large amounts of electricity.

A wind turbine needs opens spaces so the wind that hits it has no obstacles and does so at full force. The wind tower designed by Dr. Majid Rashidi provides a solution for clean energy being produced in heavily populated areas. Read the rest of this entry…

Piezoelectric Road

Innowattech, an Israeli company, has come with a rather ethically challenging idea. They intend on placing piezoelectric generators under the road to use the kinetic energy the vehicles produce.

What may seem at first glance an innocent attempt to generate clean energy, may cause upset for the general tax burdened population. A big question arises: “If I am paying for my car, for the gas it runs on and for the piezoelectric generators, would I still have to pay for the electricity that my car produces?” Read the rest of this entry…

For most people, the iPod is related with the notion of MP3 Player in the same way the Xerox is mistaken with the copy machine and Adidas with sport shoes.

It’s not an easy thing to launch a new product and to be a successful one.

iPod Touch 2G is a Read the rest of this entry…

Photovoltaic Panels

North Carolina decided to get 12.5% of the energy that is needed from green technology.  This convinced Duke Energy to launch a Solar Project that may involve renting rooftops for place solar panels.

The project will lead to producing enough electricity for more than 1,300 homes by 2010. That is efficient, as the number of sites the project will be based on is 425. Read the rest of this entry…

Asus ROG CG6190

In March this year, Asus launched on the gaming systems market with the model Ares CG6150, presented at CeBit.

Once with the appearing of the Core i7 processors from Intel, the Taiwanese producer was obliged to check that configuration with Core 2 Extreme, and the result was Read the rest of this entry…

James May presenting Honda FCX Clarity

One of the show’s hosts, James May spoke about the new Honda FCX Clarity. The conclusion the viewers were left after the show was that it is a very good car and it is much better than the electric car.

While some, that a little bit about hydrogen, how it is produced and transported, would say that the video about the Honda in Top Gear is rather subjective, I believe it is that way for a reason. First off, let me say that I totally agree that the video is misleading, but I also say that their goal is to make more and more people turn to green cars. Read the rest of this entry…

Ecofont

Here is an idea that can only be the result of a brilliant mind. While most are overwhelmed by bills and rent, some actually find time to think how to save our natural resources.

If people thought of saving paper by using a smaller font size and printing on both sides, which even my granny could have given that idea, SPRANQ has come up with an idea that saves quite a bit of ink. The idea is simple, but it takes a brainiac to see it. Read the rest of this entry…
