IBM's 3 in 1 Solar Invention - Good message

 

 

 

 

 

 

நிச்சயமாக இது ஒரு வரப்பிரசாதம்......

ஒரு சின்ன சோலார் டிஷில் ஊருக்கே மின்சாரம் தரலாம் - IBM'ன் புதிய 3 இன் 1 சோலார் தொழில்நுட்பம்:

IBM's 3 in 1 Solar Invention can give Electricity / Water / Air-Conditioning - 3 இன் 1 சோலார் கண்டுபிடிப்பு / ஒரே நேரத்தில் அதிக மின்சாரம், தூய குடிதண்ணீர், மற்றும் குளிர்ந்த காற்று கிடைக்கும் வசதி - செலவும் மிக மிக குறைவு

உலகத்தில் பல சோலார் கண்டுபிடிப்பு வந்தாலும் அது மிக ஸ்லோவாக தான் நடை முறை படுத்தும் காரணம் அதன் விலை. சோலார் எனர்ஜியை மின்சாரமாக மாற்றுவதற்க்கு கண்ணாடி, சிலிக்கான் போன்ற பல மினிரல்கள் சேர்த்து தான் ஃபொட்டோ வால்ட்டிக் என்னும் சோலார் கன்வெர்ஷன் செய்து மின்சாரம் பெறப்படுகிறது. இப்போது ஐபிஎம் ஒரு புது வகை சோலார் டெக்னாலஜியை கன்டுபிடித்துள்ளது. இதற்க்கு பெயர் High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT) இதன் மூலம் ஒரு சென்டிமீட்டர் சிப்பில் 2000 மடங்கு சூரிய சக்தி கிடைக்கும் அளவுக்கு மிகவும் எளிதான சில மெட்டல்கள் மூலம் அமைத்துள்ளனர்.

இதில் 30% சூரிய சக்தியை மின்சாரக மாற்றியும் மீதி உள்ள சூடில் உப்பு தண்ணீரை சேலினேட் முறையில் நல்ல தண்ணீராக மாற்றியும் மிச்சம் உள்ள எனர்ஜியில் குளிர்ந்த காற்று கிடைக்குமாறு 3 இன் 1 ஆக அமைத்திருக்கிறார்கள்.
அதாவது பொதுவாக இப்போது உள்ள ஒரு முழு சோலார் ஃபோட்டோவால்டிக் பிளேட் மூலம் 300 வாட்ஸ் கிடைக்கும் ஆனால் இங்கு 1 சென்டி மீட்டரில் 200 முதல் 250 வாட்ஸ் மின்சாரம் கிடைக்கும். ஒரு இரண்டடிக்கு இரண்டி இருந்தால் முழு வீட்டுக்கு 8 மணி நேர சூரிய சக்தியில் 24 மணி நேரமும் கிடைக்கும் என்றால் பெரிய கண்டுபிடிப்பு தான். அதாவது ஒரு ஊருக்கே ஒரு டிஷ் போது. இவர்கள் சஹாரா பாலைவனத்தில் 2% சதவிகித இடம் கொடுத்தால் உலகத்தின் மொத்த மின்சார தேவையும் எந்த ஒரு எனர்ஜி இல்லாமல் 100% கிடைக்குமாம்.
இதை அமைக்க வெறும் 12,500 ரூபாய் தான் ஒரு ஸ்கொயர் மீட்டருக்கு ஆகும் செலவு அது போக 1000 யூனிட் கரென்ட்டுகு வெறும் 5 ரூபாய் தான் செலவு.கூடவே தண்ணீர் பஞ்சம் மற்றூம் இயற்கை ஏசி வேறு கிடைக்கும் மக்களே.

What happens in the web within 60 seconds - Amazing......

Revealed, what happens in just 60 seconds on the internet: 216,000 photos posted, 278,000 Tweets and 1.8m Facebook likes

• Infographic gives snapshot of what happens across the web in 60 seconds
• This includes 72 hours of video uploaded to YouTube and 278,000 tweets

In just a single minute on the web 216,000 photos are shared on Instagram, a total of £54,000 ($83,000) sales take place on Amazon, there are 1.8 million likes on Facebook and three days worth of video is uploaded to YouTube.

Cashback site Qmee has created an infographic that shows this information as well as how many tweets are sent, photos are viewed, Skype calls are made, domains are registered and more in 60 seconds.

The graphic pulls information and figures from PC Mag, Business Insider and other sites to create a the snapshot. 

 

Google performs 2 million searches each minute and 72 hours worth of video is uploaded to YouTube within the space of 60 seconds.

The infographic also claims that 70 new domains are registered and 571 new website are created within a minute online, at the same time there are 1.8 million likes on Facebook, 204 million emails sent and 278,000 tweets posted. 

There are almost four times more Google searches than a year ago, and 180,000 more tweets are sent.

YouTube video uploads have increased from 25 hours up to three days.

Relatives and friends now spend the equivalent of 1.4 million minutes chatting over Skype, compared to 370,000 minutes last year.

Facebook figures appear to have dropped, however. This year there are on average 41,000 status updates every second - 246,000 a minute - whereas according to Go-Globe's figures, this time last year the figure was in excess of 695,000.

Exactly the same amount of domain names were created per minute in 2012 and 2013 according to the graphics.

Cashback site Qmee has created an infographic that shows how many tweets are sent, Facebook posts are liked, Skype calls are made and YouTube videos are viewed in a single minute across the internet. It used information and figures from PC Mag, Business Insider and other sites to create a 60-second snapshot

The two graphics did not use exactly the same data sources meaning that the relationship is not directly comparable but it does give an indication about which sites and services are soaring and which are staying the same, or losing favour.

The increase in posts across social networks has also seen an increase of what's been dubbed 'Twinglish'.

Social media monitoring company Brandwatch found that one in every 150 English words used on Twitter is spelt incorrectly.

On Facebook, one in 323 words are spelt incorrectly, on Google+ it's one in 238 and one in 556 words is incorrect on online forums.

Women also favour the use of elongated words  such as ‘sooooo’ and ‘loool’ on social networks.

Go-Globe.com designed a similar graphic in June last year, pictured. By comparison, the amount of emails sent has increased by 36million a minute. There are almost four times more Google searches than a year ago, and 180,000 more tweets are sent

 

 

Rocking Chennai Express - A typical sambar and sandalwood creation

Chennai Express is the kind of non-toxic comic entertainer where the most damaging double-entendres you'd get is a Tamil word that sounds like Angelina Jolie's name.

Deepika as the runaway Tamilian girl who piles on to the North Indian mithaiwala stranger to escape marrying the boorish fiancee back home in her village in Tamil Nadu.

Some of the long shots of the train winding through green area is breathtaking. And Shah Rukh's first meeting with Deepika's father over a bridge over a fast-flowing river is shot with amazing brio.

There's a wonderfully-shot sequence where Shah Rukh has to carry Deepika to a temple over hundreds of steps. Deepika here goes from amusement and mockery to a sense of belonging and pride in her man's arms. It's a moment built with care and love.

But then, such tender affection really has no place in this comedy of cultural dispossession where the Punjabi boy Rahul gets embroiled in Tamil girl Meena's family affairs and comes out... well not quite wiser. But filled with self-mocking laughter.

Shah Rukh pokes a whole lot of good-natured fun at his now-aging lover-boy persona. There are tongue-in-cheek references to Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and several other Shah Rukh Khan films and songs including the introductory South Indian lines from the "Jiya jale" song in "Dil Se".

Want to Block Calls & Text Messages from a particular number?.. - Nokia Lumia Windows Phone got update for this facility

Nokia has started rolling out an app to its Lumia Windows Phones that enables the blocking of calls and SMS messages. In an update to the Extra + Info application, Nokia has added an additional settings area in Windows Phone that lets owners block specific numbers from calling or sending text messages. The app also integrates into the phone section of Windows Phone, where you can simply tap and hold on a number to add it to the block list.

 

As the Nokia Lumia 1020, Lumia 520 and Lumia 925 all come with the Windows Phone 8 GDR2 update preinstalled, those users can expect the new call blocking and SMS filtering options update to roll out to them over the next few days or so.

Users can enable the feature by heading to their Settings menu and tapping on Call + SMS filter once they’ve gotten the updated the Extras + Info application from the Windows Phone Store.

The list of reasons why Windows Phone users should only consider purchasing Windows Phones made by Nokia just keeps getting larger and larger. Although Microsoft, reportedly, added the ability to enable SMS and call blocking to Windows Phone 8 with the GDR2 update, it has left it to individual Windows Phone manufacturers to implement in their devices, meaning it’s possible that Samsung and HTC users won’t see this kind of functionality for some time.
