Walmart offers an LG Android 4.4 smartphone for under $10

By
It’s not Black Friday yet, but if you’re in the market for a dirt-cheap smartphone you don’t have to wait. Walmart’s got a contract-free, dual-core Android that will only set you back $9.82.

For ten bucks, you get a phone with a 3.8-inch touchscreen, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 support, and a 3-megapixel rear camera. The same phone would cost you $60 over at Best Buy right now, so it’s a pretty impressive deal. That probably accounts for why it is currently out of stock.





Vice, however, thinks that it’s “perhaps even more impressive” that the $10 LG phone has better specs that the original iPhone, but let’s think about that for a moment. The reality is that they’re cramming hardware that’s vastly superior to the iPhone’s (single-core 411Mhz chip, 128MB of RAM) into smartwatches these days. The fact that even a humble $10 phone is superior to a device that went on sale the year President Obama was elected really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The impressive part isn’t the improvement in the hardware, it’s that manufacturers can churn this stuff out so cheaply today.




That doesn’t mean the Lucky LG16 isn’t a good deal. At $10, it’s priced like a burner phone but still gives you a touchscreen and access to Google Play. The only similar items showing up in that price range Walmart’s banner offered up were a cheapo flip phone and a tube of acne control cream.
Look around the web, and you’ll actually find a lot of solid reviews for the LG16, too — like over at Best Buy. Again, it’s $50 more there but they’ve got another option for you. You can pick up the Alcatel Pixi GLITZ for $10 instead. It, too, has better specs than the original iPhone.

Wind Turbines

By
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

By
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...
