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

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

By
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...
