Sony To Launch Vita OS Smartphones, Tablets Soon

Monday, February 13, 2012: Sony recently hinted that it may launch smartphones and tablets based on the Vita operating system. The Sony PS Vita gaming console is based on the Vita operating system.

Sony's new CEO Kazuo Hirai, who is yet to take charge, said that the company had designed the operating system to be expandable to these other devices, according to AV Watch. According to deputy president, Sony, the smartphone apps would be coming soon to Vita, via PlayStation Suite.
Hirai said that Vita OS is a mobile platform which is not just focussed on gaming. "If you're asking if we've made it [Vita's OS] in a way that's expandable, so that it's possible to apply to smartphones and tablets on top of achieving the high responsiveness we need for gaming devices -- it is possible," said Yoshio Matsumoto, senior vice president, Sony Computer Entertainment. He also said, that the company is not necessarily applying the OS to smartphones and tablets at present, but he did specify that the OS has been designed with expandability in mind.

It seems that we will soon see smartphones and tablets from Sony running the Vita operating system.

Wind Turbines

The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year Gizmag reported a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...
