Ten years ago people didn’t give too much attention to green energy because we thought that we can’t destroy our planet. Well, something good happened and we started to realize that the Earth is damaged by CO2 emissions and researchers began to develop new systems to harness solar, wind and wave power. A company that decided to create a visionary wind turbine is Magenn and their idea is called MARS.

MARS stands for Maggen Air Rotor System and according to their developers, this wind power system is very different and much better than conventional wind turbines and other systems based on fossil fuels. The benefits of Magenn’s system are the possibility…

Our houses become full of gadgets and it’s hard to control everything separately, so David Chacon came with an innovative idea. The Universal Remote features a big screen that displays everything from your house and offers you full control. But he needs help from other companies to provide a better interaction between the remote and the gadgets they produce.

Wouldn’t it be great to change your TV channel, turn on the lights or answer the phone using only this touchscreen remote ? We have no informations about when will it become available or pricing, but hopefully we will see it in stores soon.

It looks like Dell is really starting to care more about their customers, but I think that they really want to attract more buyers for their products which is logical and normal. Now, they have made a few options available for the XPS 420 consisting of Intel’s Core 2 Quad Q9300 and Q9450.

After this update I don’t know what to think anymore as for the XPS 630, the available processors are the E8500 and the QX6850 which costs about $850, way too expensive for most of the PC users. I guess we will have to wait and see if they will reconsider their configurations for the desktops as soon as…

Here are some very cool speakers shaped like eggs. Don’t be surprised because they look great and we have to thank Nathan Gabriele for the Egg Speakers.

You will not have to worry about the runtime because the egg speakers will last long enough and I should mention that they will be recharged through induction. The designer thought of everything because the speakers were provided with the neoprene jacket for portability reasons. Pretty cool.
