Knowledge Is King!

Teaching adults to read is a difficult enough task in and of itself, but in rural Mali, teachers also face classrooms without electricity and books weathered by the punishing desert climate. Enter the Kinkajou Projector, a fusion of high and low technology that makes teaching night literacy classes as easy as ABC. The students actually preferred to go to night class because of this projector lol .

In just two days after its launch on Tuesday, Skype (the internet telephone unit of eBay Inc. with more than 450 million customers registered worldwide) now for Apple’s iPhone passed the one million mark in downloads!!

While the new application will bring some users a certain amount of convenience and savings, it won’t be much help to others. And it certainly won’t bring about the end of cellular.

Despite the download is doing fabulously in the United States, Europe and Japan, cellular providers in other countries including Canada and Germany are also placing restrictions on the use of Skype and any other internet phone services to protect their wireless carriers whose big moneymakers are cellular voice plans.

As a result, Skype for iPhone works only through wifi connections (it also runs on iPod touches with microphones). Users thus will have to look for hotspots before accessing the service. That means dealing with hassles such as signing up with providers, finding the right brand of hotspots, logging on and so forth. It’s hardly a substitute for the anywhere/anytime cellular experience. In fact, it’s more like a mere convenient substitute for firing up the laptop to make cheap VoIP calls or chat via instant messages.

The following is an introductory video about the Skype app on Iphone, Enjoy!!

This is so great! Looks like female Robocop to me . You should watch the catwalk show itself.

Japanese scientists have now launched a female fashion robot which could be the next super model to catwalk in Tokyo Fashion Show.

The robot called the HRP-4C is over 60 inches in height and weighs about 95 pounds. The black haired Robot designed by the scientists of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology as a “cybernetic human” looks like an average Japanese woman.
