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

Edible water balloons that could get rid of the need for plastic bottles

In case you didn’t know, bottled water is destroying the planet. We know that we need to be drinking plenty of water. It’s important. But the plastic bottles they’re sold in are terrible for the environment. One solution is using reusable bottles that you can fill from any nearby taps instead of buying a new bottle each time. Another solution is much more exciting. A group of engineers from Skipping Rocks Lab have developed a wonderful thing called The Ooho!. It’s a globe filled water that you can pop in your mouth whole. The outer shell is made of algae, so it’s edible and biodegradable. Meaning there’s no need for packaging or plastic – the globes of water are self-contained and ready to consume. Exciting, right? Plus they’re wobbly and they look cool, which is always a bonus. The team have now created a crowdfunding page to make their creation available to the public, with goals of selling The Ooho! at festival and marathons within the next 12 m...
