Origami, Super Luxury Yacht

An Italian designer Fabio Federici, recently revealed crazy idea to make a super yacht boats called Origami. He got the idea from the Japanese art of paper folding. The concept of a cruise ship is changing the playing style of paper folding machines for speed, thanks to innovations in the deck are multifunctional, and has folding wings.

When the state closed, compact and aerodynamic design allows the vessel to achieve optimal speed. But when docked, the form of luxury stretched to create a luxurious living room complete with four cabins below. There is also a spiral staircase to the two shaded hammocks on the roof.

In addition, the deck also provides a pool play and three-deck lounge that can rotate up to 360 degrees. So that the guests can enjoy the entire edge of the ocean view.

Fabio Federici innovative design concept was successfully won the Millennium Yacht Design Award. Federici said, the key is to create a yacht that is not conventional by combining speed and luxury.

He added, "I am inspired by the rigid forms of stealth aircraft. Then I got the idea from the main bridge conversion. Then I saw similarities with the origami models.

Nokia and Intel Create 3D Hologram on mobile phone

Slowly but surely, Intel and Nokia is currently preparing a new breakthrough in the mobile world.

Nokia, Intel, and the University of Oulu Finland muster 24 researchers for this project.

Both big companies are working with the University of Oulu Finland, had opened a joint laboratory facilities to prepare a technology that can bring experience of virtual reality into the phone.

Research will use the open source operating system platform MeeGoo, Intel and Nokia, launched last February. The main objective is to develop the interface of three dimensional (3D) and virtual reality displays on existing technology, and possible development of 3D holographic images for smart phones.

With this technology, the phone will be capable of transmitting 3D holographic image of the person who was talking on the phone, which has just happened in science fiction films.

"3D and virtual worlds great potential to revolutionize the way people use mobile phones," said Mike tune, Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Director, Nokia, told Computerworld site.

One of the initial applications to be developed, is a mobile virtual control panel to control light switch and heating at home.

According to Heikki Huomo, director of the Center for Internet Excellence, University of Oulu Finland, this paper is not intended to create a 3D experience that can only be enjoyed by the special glasses, because the phone screen will not meet the physical requirements that owned a large 3D screen.

Another possibility of this application, according Huomo, create social networks in a virtual world for mobile phones that use GPS and location information of users. "This will be the 'killer app' or at least is a success," said Heikki Huomo.

This research center will be supported by about two dozen researchers who will work at least for three years for this project brewing.

Director of Intel Lab Europe, Martin Curley said that the focus of this research is the development of open source software that will complement Intel's chips besutan.

According to Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, a research center is an early opportunity for Nokia and Intel to develop an operating system MeeGo.

3D can become such an important requirement for a mobile device sized width, such as tablet computers, or at least smart phone.

Obesity in Children Starts caused problems in the United States

Obesity in children in the United States has started to worry threshold. A recent poll said, obesity is the biggest threat to children and adolescents, the highest on the misuse of drugs, smoking, internet security, and stress.

Obesity rates among children and adolescents in the United States soared in the last 30 years. A study in 2008 by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta showed that nearly one in five children aged six to 11 years and 18.1 percent of 12-19 year olds were obese.

More surprising, was the emergence of stress as a major health problem for children, allegedly due to "trickle down effect" as the impact of economic fragility. At this point, parents and children react to sensed changes.

"The economic conditions currently affecting the children, too," said Dr Matthew M Davis, director of the University of Michigan.

Although looked bleak, but David calls this finding positive. "The message about the dangers of obesity and the prevalence of disease among children has actually made it to the American public," said "If we had done this poll four years ago, obesity would not be at the top of the list," he said.

Now Whiskey Could Be Fuel Cars

Scientists from Edinburgh's Napier University, Scotland, said it has successfully developed a vegetable fuels (biofuels) of whiskey. This biofuel has successfully run a car.

Scientists use a pot of ale, the liquid residue from the copper and the rest of the wheat from the distillation of whiskey. From this residual material they can make butanol fuel.

"We are committed to finding innovative sources of renewable energy," said Professor Martin Tangney, Director of the Biofuel Research Centre at Napier University, August 19, 2010.

Martin says, this fuel can be used for an ordinary car without adjusting the machine. And unlike other biofuels, fuels made from waste products and no need special plant ingredients, such as castor seeds, corn, and palm oil.

This research project was to spend 260 thousand pounds sterling which is a grant from Scottish Enterprise. Now the University has filed patent applications for environmentally friendly fuels, and they plan to set up a company to market the fuel to various petrol pumps in the UK.

MagicJack : Telephone lines between the United States and Canada is free

Telephone lines between the United States and Canada is free to millions of subscribers MagicJack wireless telecommunications manufacturer. Said Executive Director YMAX Corporation And Borislow in New York, United States, recently.

Borislow said, using telecommunications technology MagicJack USB device group should Washington and Ottawa, the easier and cheaper access without being limited time. Customers, he said, can access these free connections via computers, smart phones, tablet computers to iPads.

"Customers simply buy the MagicJack worth U.S. $ 40 and connection costs during the year amounted to U.S. $ 20," said Borislow.

YMAX Corporation's founder, said the breakthrough thanks to collaboration with VocalTec, an Israeli communications company listed on the Nasdaq.
