Solar Impulse plane powered by sunlight, starts 24-hour test flight

A New experimental aircraft that will be powered by largest energy source SUN is on test flight for 24 Hrs.

The aim is to assess whether the plane can fly in darkness, using solar cells on its wings to generate enough power to stay in the air for 24 hours.

The HB-SIA plane, which took off from Switzerland, has the weight of a family car but the wingspan of a big airliner.

Google fixes the Youtube flaw which lets the Hacker exploit it.

YouTube has fixed a flaw allowing hackers to bombard users with fake pop-up messages and redirect them to adult sites.

Hackers placed code in the comments section, under targeted videos, that would run when people watched the clip.

In some cases, a pop-up screen appeared reporting that the Canadian singer, Justin Bieber, had died in a car crash.

Google, which owns YouTube, said that it had fixed the problem "about two hours" after it was discovered.

High Tech ATM Thieves can empty your account.

Thieves are using high-tech skimmers to steal account information at automatic teller machines — and victims don't know they have a problem until they see their statements.

Cyber security expert Brian Krebs tracks ATM scams on his blog and he says new technology is helping scammers steal even more of your information at ATMs.

"If it's done correctly you would not notice that anything looks amiss," Krebs says.

In a traditional skimming scam, thieves place a card-skimming device into the card insertion slot. The skimmer can steal account information stored on the magnetic strip on back of the card when it is dipped into the machine.

Iran unveils human-shaped robot

(AP) — Iranian officials have unveiled a human-shaped robot that can walk like a person, although at a slower pace.

Iranian state television says the Surena 2 robot weighs 99 pounds and is 4.76 feet tall. It was developed by more than 20 robotics experts at Tehran University.

State TV said engineers were still developing vision and sound capabilities for the robot, but did not elaborate. It also did not say what tasks the Surena 2 can perform or what it was developed for.

Cars to report accidents to authorities.

Scientists are developing intelligent cars that can alert and send useful information to authorities during an accident.

The cars, fitted with aircraft-style black boxes, can send video footage and information about driving behaviour during accidents to the police and insurance companies.

The car, being developed at Intel, will record information about the vehicle speed, steering and braking along with video footage from inside and outside the vehicle.

This would be sent to the police and insurance companies automatically during an accident to make it easier to know the reason for car crashes and identify the responsible person.

Now you can place the Battery in the direction which you like.

InstaLoad is a new battery technology from Microsoft that gives devices power, regardless of how users insert the batteries. It doesn’t matter which side is positive or negative; the device will simply work.

The technology is in the mechanical battery contact design. Each side of the metal contacts in a device have positive and negative points, rather than just a positive or negative point.

Kindle and iPad Books Take Longer to Read than Printed Books.

It takes longer to read books on a Kindle 2 or an iPad versus a printed book, Jakob Nielsen of product development consultancy Nielsen Norman Group discovered in a recent usability survey.

The study found that reading speeds declined by 6.2% on the iPad and 10.7% on the Kindle compared to print. However, Nielsen conceded that the differences in reading speed between the two devices were not “statistically significant because of the data’s fairly high variability” — in other words, the study did not prove that the iPad allowed for faster reading than the Kindle.

Facebook has begun testing face detection technology for Facebook Photos.

Facebook has begun testing face detection technology for Facebook Photos.

The tests, which some users will see , focus on decreasing the tediousness of "tagging" friends in Facebook photos. In the current Photos feature, users upload photos, click on each face in a photo, tag that photo with the friend pictured therein and continue the process until the album is tagged.

The technology is the same as the facial detection technology most digital cameras use today. While the tech itself may not be all that new, it is a clever and very welcomed addition to the Facebook Photos feature set.

Former F1 engineer unveils new Efficient City Car

The former Formula One engineer who created the iconic McLaren F1 supercar has officially unveiled the T.25 -- his idea for a new class of city car.

Murray and his team based in Shalford, south east England, have been working on the design for the past three years and, until now, have kept the exact details of the car firmly under wraps.

The car made its first public appearance on Monday at the UK's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford.

At less than eight feet long and a little over four feet wide, the T.25 is smaller than Daimler AG's popular Smart car, and a petrol engine model will retail for around $9,000.

The centralized driving position -- also a feature of Murray's McLaren F1 -- and central instrumentation and controls are perhaps its most obvious traits borrowed from Formula One.

Now a Blind Person car Drive with Tactile Feedback system.

Scientists are inching closer to develop a special car which can be driven by blind motorists.

The unique car, expected to be built as early as next year, will be equipped with a new technology that would help a sightless person to get behind the wheel.

The technology, called Non-visual Interfaces, will guide its driver through traffic by transmitting information about nearby vehicles or objects.

Vibrating gloves or streams of compressed air directed behind the wheel are among the options for communicating the information needed to avoid collisions and reach a destination.

Scientist see swallowed snakes inside the Python body with new Imaging Techinques.

Scientists have used the latest imaging techniques to look inside a python that had just swallowed a rat whole.

The resulting footage is part of a project using hi-tech scanning methods to explore animals' anatomy.

It took 132 hours for snake to fully digest the rat, the scientists said. Their work has revealed other strange insights into python digestion.

They presented the study at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

Documents leaked to BGR show Apple Knows About iPhone 4’s Flaws.

According to documents leaked to Boy Genius Report , AppleCare representatives are being given a strong company line to deliver to unhappy iPhone 4 owners who complain about reception issues.

Employees are told to say that the device’s reception performance “is the best we have ever shipped” and that its critical antenna flaws are “a fact of life in the wireless world.” They are told not to perform service on iPhones with these problems and instead to give customers a PR-driven recitative instead.

One law firm is even preparing for a class-action lawsuit against Apple and is soliciting iPhone 4 customers to contact them about reception issues.

Microsoft Kin is set to be Stopped.

The Kin, two Microsoft-branded phones targeted at teenager users, is all set to be no longer available.

The Kin, formerly known as “Project Pink,” was revealed in April and lauched on the Verizon network in May. However, ominous signs emerged for the phone’s demise after Microsoft cut the price of the Kin in half.

Here is Microsoft’s official statement on the Kin:

“Microsoft has made the decision to focus on the Windows Phone 7 launch and will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones.”

Jaipur students create Air Bike, says 3 Idiots's Rancho was there inspiration.

Jaipur students have designed a wonder bike that runs on compressed air and will cut running costs drastically.

'3 Idiots' inspired the students to come up with this innovation specially his character of 'Rancho'.

For almost 6 months, these mechanical engineering students worked on the bike for about 10 hours a day.

"We are not 3 but 5 Idiots who have created this bike that runs on compressed air. From that movie we were inspired to do something new, something innovative in our life," said Pramod Jain, Gyan Vihar University Jaipur.
