Taxis without drivers

At London's Heathrow Airport, for example, appeared a taxi, which copes and without human management. Taxi drivers - this dual phenomenon. On the one hand, with sometimes interesting talk on the road, on the other, sometimes they are too intrusive or do not know the road. That's Heathrow Airport in London, apparently, having weighed all the pros and cons of taxi drivers as such, have decided to renounce them. Of course, these four-seater taxis do not drive you arrived at Heathrow passengers anywhere in the city. They will act exclusively in the territory of the airport, as the link between terminals, parking and other facilities, airport complex. The passenger can only sit in a taxi, to indicate on the touch screen where it wants to move, and the taxi itself is taking him there and, of course, without tipping. Money terminal, standing in the taxi, take off with your card exactly as much money as you need, and a penny more.

Volkswagen New Beetle 2009: Coming Back Superbly

AutoWeek is reporting that Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of VW of America, confirmed at a press event in Germany that a long overdue redesign of the New Beetle is coming in 2012, and packaging will be vastly improved.The current back seat of the New Beetle is a real problem being far too small and uncomfortable for a vehicle in the small car segment. Jacoby says the next Beetle will have a larger rear quarters and better packaging, without growing much beyond its current dimensions. Jacoby says the Beetle will also be used by VW as a kind of low-cost halo car, showing that the German automaker has returned to its roots of building cars for the people.It's great that VW is finally getting around to making the next New Beetle, but with 14 years between redesigns, we're thinking VW needs to knock the next little Bug out of the park if it once again wants to catch the eye of the car-buying public.

Prototype Nokia phone recharges without wires

Prototype Nokia phone recharges without wires
early lab experiments have been able to "beam" electricity a few feet to power a light bulb, the day when our laptops and cell phones can charge without having to plug them in to a wall socket still seems decades in the future.

Nokia, however, has taken another baby step in that direction with the invention of a cell phone that recharges itself using a unique system: It harvests ambient radio waves from the air, and turns that energy into usable power. Enough, at least, to keep a cell phone from running out of juice.

While "traditional" (if there is such a thing) wireless power systems are specifically designed with a transmitter and receiver in mind, Nokia's system isn't finicky about where it gets its wireless waves. TV, radio, other mobile phone systems -- all of this stuff just bounces around the air and most of it is wasted, absorbed into the environment or scattered into the ether. Nokia picks up all the bits and pieces of these waves and uses the collected electromagnetic energy to create electrical current, then uses that to recharge the phone's battery. A huge range of frequencies can be utilized by the system (there's no other way, really, as the energy in any given wave is infinitesimal). It's the same idea that Tesla was exploring 100 years ago, just on a tiny scale.

Mind you, harvesting ambient electromagnetic energy is never going to offer enough electricity to power your whole house or office, but it just might be enough to keep a cell phone alive and kicking. Currently Nokia is able to harvest all of 5 milliwatts from the air; the goal is to increase that to 20 milliwatts in the short term and 50 milliwatts down the line. That wouldn't be enough to keep the phone alive during an active call, but would be enough to slowly recharge the cell phone battery while it's in standby mode, theoretically offering infinite power -- provided you're not stuck deep underground where radio waves can't penetrate.

Nokia says it hopes to commercialize the technology in three to five years

Citizen AIBATO M Bluetooth watch with remote camera control

Citizen have announced a new Bluetooth watch, the AIBATO M, which wirelessly connects to your cellphone and can, with selected handsets, remotely trigger the camera, browse emails and show call and message alerts. Two color versions will be on offer, black (with a rubber strap) and silver (with a metal strap) but otherwise the functionality is the same.

citizen bluetooth watch 4 480x360

Each measures 43.6 x 54.3 x 13.3 and weighs around 100g. The watches charge via an included desk-stand, with a full battery good for up to five days. As well as audio and visual alerts, the AIBATO M can vibrate for a more discrete reminder.

According to Citizen, various Sharp and Softbank handsets will be supported by the watch; it’s unclear whether it will also work without the more complex camera control on other devices. No word on pricing, but the Citizen AIBATO M watches will go on sale in Japan on July 1st

RoboFish: Mimics Biological Fish - Underwater Explorer

A team of researchers at MIT may have found a way around these problems with a unique new robotic fish. Mechanical engineers Kamal Youcef-Toumi and Pablo Valdivia y Alvarado fashioned the fish to easily move in the underwater environment, just like real fish. Their vision is to be able to send a whole school of the robofish to explore submerged objects.

Since the fish are designed to be inexpensive and simple, the team controlling the expedition could afford to be bold in where they send the robots: as long as a number of them survive the expedition, it won’t be a tragedy for the team if some of the fish are lost or broken.

Being made of flexible polymers and containing a single motor, the robotic fish move in a way that mimics biological fish, though at a much slower rate. This movement and their small size make them ideal for exploring underwater objects.

The fish currently require an outside power source and can’t travel without their power cords trailing along behind them, but the researchers hope to someday power them with smaller batteries. The team plans to extend their research to mimicking other types of natural locomotion, including land and air travel.

Facebook makes money, tops 300 million users

Facebook is making enough money to cover its costs and now has 300 million users, the world’s largest social networking site said on Tuesday, proving the Internet’s newest star industry can be a viable business

Facebook is now generating enough cash to cover its operating expenses, as well as the capital spending needed to maintain its fast-growing service.

Analysts said this shows the financial viability of Facebook, which has faced questions about its underlying business model, despite its popularity, and was a good sign for a potential initial public offering.

“It’s certainly meaningful to show that this is absolutely the real deal,” said Broadpoint Amtech analyst Ben Schachter. “They are executing. People are spending money on the site.”

Since its creation in a Harvard dorm room five years ago, Facebook has emerged as one of the Internet’s most popular destinations and is increasingly challenging the Web’s established powerhouses like Yahoo Inc and Google Inc.

Facebook unveiled a revamped search engine last month and is currently testing an online payment system.

Facebook users have tripled from about 100 million a year ago.

Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post on the company site on Tuesday that Facebook reached its goal of being free cash flow positive in its most recently ended quarter. The company had previously projected reaching the target sometime in 2010.

“This is important to us because it sets Facebook up to be a strong independent service for the long term,” said Zuckerberg in the blog post.

Facebook spokesperson Larry Yu said the free cash flow metric does not include any cash from private investment.

In May, Facebook announced a $200 million investment from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies in a deal that valued the company’s preferred shares at $10 billion.

DST valued Facebook’s common shares at $6.5 billion in a subsequent deal to purchase shares from Facebook employees.

Facebook’s becoming cash flow positive ahead of schedule provides another nugget of data to back up the lofty valuations, and according to one analyst, makes Facebook a more attractive candidate for a potential public offering.

“They can command higher confidence from investors now,” said Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggarwal, who noted that he believes Facebook could go public in the second half of 2010, or in 2011.

Zuckerberg said in May that any IPO is “a few years out.”

Facebook did not provide any other financial details on Tuesday. The company has previously said its revenue was on track to grow 70 percent this year.

Facebook board member Mark Andreesen told Reuters earlier this year that the company will surpass $500 million in revenue this year.

Zuckerberg said in his post that the company is exploring ways to make the service perform faster and more efficiently as the number of Facebook users continues to grow

NOKIA developing self-charging cell phone

Nokia developing self-charging cell phone

No more telling Mom you can't talk because your cell phone is "about to die"--it soon could be charging itself as you speak.
The Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, England, is working on a prototype system that would eliminate the traditional cell phone charger.
The system collects energy from ambient radio waves emitted by antennas, TV masts, Wi-Fi transmitters, and the like. This might all sound uber-scientific, but we've been using this technology for years. Have you ever exited a store, only to hear the beep, beep, beep of an accusing alarm system? Many retailers use radio frequency identification to prevent theft and track inventory. Like RFID tags, the Nokia phones would catch radio waves across a range of frequencies, harnessing them for power.
Nokia's goal is to get cell phones to harvest about 50 milliwatts of power. Currently the prototypes are able to harvest up to 5 milliwatts, but at least 20 milliwatts is needed to keep phones running in standby mode indefinitely without the need for a recharge, the U.K.'s Guardian reports in an article on Nokia's research.
We're not quite sure what features 50 milliwatts could power: music playing? 3G Internet browsing? As consumers increase their business- and entertainment-related dependency on cell phones, Nokia might have to adjust its 50-milliwatt goal. For a more functional lifestyle device, the phone would need to be paired with a solar-paneled case, or even an occasional wired charge.
The Nokia Research Centre has said the technology will take three to five years to develop. Though this would presumably be the first time electromagnetic radiation is applied to a mainstream consumer product, wireless charging has already hit the market. This month, Palm introduced a wireless charger, the Touchstone, for its much-anticipated Palm Pre.
The Touchstone uses a method referred to as inductive charging. The electric toothbrush is one of the most common devices that applies this technology.

Unveiled :A robot displaying human emotion

Unveiled :A robot displaying human emotion
Kobian, a "humanoid" robot, which can express seven human emotions, has been unveiled by researchers at Waseda University in Japan.
The Emotional Humanoid Robot can express seven different feelings, including delight, surprise, sadness and dislike. In addition to assuming different poses to match the mood, Kobian uses motors in its face to move its lips, eyelids and eyebrows into various positions, according to pinktentacle.

To express delight, for example, the robot its hands over its head and opens it mouth and eyes wide. To show sadness, Kobian hunches over, hangs its head and holds a hand up to its face in a gesture of grief.
Kobian can also walk around, perceive its environment and perform physical tasks. The robot features a double jointed neck that helps it achieve more expressive postures.

It was developed and unveiled by researchers at Waseda’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering in Tokyo on Tuesday June 23.
They were led by Professor Atsuo Takanashi, and worked with robot manufacturer Tmsuk, based in Kitakyushu, southern Japan.

According to Kobian’s developers, the robot’s expressiveness makes it more equipped to interact with humans and assist with daily activities.

There are plans for it to be further developed and then possibly deployed into the field of nursin

Cheap Solar Panel: Powering Up The World with Human Hair

The young Nepalese Milan Karki, together with 4 classmates, has been trying to come up with a way of producing cheap, renewable energy for his home village ever since he went to school in Kathmandu, but now he dreams of powering up the whole world with his invention.

Cheap Solar Panel Powering Up The World with Human Hair

Milan has discovered hair not only makes us look good, but is also light sensitive and a great energy conductor, because of the melanin it contains. So he replaced the silicon in normal solar panels with human hair and thus invented a new type of solar panel, four times cheaper than the ones on the market today.

Cheap Solar Panel Powering Up The World with Human Hair

The inventor says he has already sent out a couple of his prototypes to districts in Nepal, to be tested for feasibility, but is confident he has found an answer to his country’s energy issues. He says buying half a kilo of human hair is not only cheaper than a set of batteries, but also produces energy for much longer period of time. And anyone can replace the hair, so the solar panel doesn’t require a lot of servicing

Audi TT-RS: The Performer Car

Audi TT-RS, a 460 horsepower, matte black self-described "Ur-Quattro" for the new millennium. While it evoking the legendary Quattro Coupe might be a bit of marketing hyperbole, it similarly features a turbocharged inline-five and should perform spectacularly well. Heck, it could probably give the Sport Quattro rally cars a run for their money. We wouldn't dare compare it to the S1, though. Still, this version of the already-hot TT-RS is positively smoking.TT-RS puts put out a healthy 340 horses, enough to scoot it from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

Michael Jackson island
Genius. The folks over at Al Manakh are reporting that of the 158 entries in an online competition to design a monument to commemorate the life of Michael Jackson, three propose the creation of a new island off the coast of Dubai in the shape of his visage

Eigenvectors of New York City suggest the creation of an island in the shape of one of MJ's dance poses (see above). The team write: "Michael Jackson's iconic dance moves are recognizable as the earth's map or a palm tree. The Michael Jackson Memorial Island would be placed off the coast of Dubai next to the other man made islands. The island would include an airport, hotel, amusement parks, and many ranches.
