Eco-friendly Plantbook laptop emits oxygen

With pollution and global warming on the rise, there is a need to invent and use gadgets which not only consume less energy but also cut down on emission of harmful substances and one such device is the Plantbook. YankoDesign reports about the Plantbook notebook adopting a mechanism that’s said to be inspired by the water absorbing abilities of a bamboo tree.

The attractive looking notebook designed by Hyerim Kim and Seunggi Baek is so eco-friendly that it works on water and emits oxygen instead of gases which harm the environment drastically, just like a plant. The notebook generates power to be operated through electrolysis when placed in water.

A key attraction of the notebook is its screen with two plates which can be rolled to easily place in an external water container or bottle. The top plate of the device stores solar energy which produces the electrolysis when it comes in contact with water. It appears to be a productive way of keeping pollution in check and help the environment.

Water is the power source because the notebook basically needs hydrogen to fulfill its energy demands. It uses the hydrogen and discharges the oxygen which is left out. The laptop gets fully charged if placed in water while its power is turned off.

The notebook apart from its ecological attributes is also attractive looking and is easy to carry and charge with its roll-over form factor. Also, it has a silicon strap shaped like a leaf hanging at one end. This hand ring doubles up as a green LED to indicate the battery of the laptop.

Though it is pre-mature to draw conclusions, there aren’t many doubts about how useful the Plantbook laptop might turn out to be. Another factor which will play an important role in the popularity of this device is its cost for which we cannot do much but wait and watch.

Revamp of Star one ! !

Star One

which is currently a youth channel, targeting mostly the metro youth is now getting revamped and is renamed as Star Desh. Star Desh will then focus mostly on small town audience and youths.

There are news that some of the shows will be axed. But nothing is confirmed yet which show is going off and which one will continue with rebranding.

All brands revamp at some or the other time, so that they can get more ad revenue based on current market trends. When brands get rebranded the brand statement of the channel changes... and so does the content. If the content of the serial is not in line with the new brand image they are trying to adhere to, then either they will change the content of the serial or they will axe the serial.

Rajini out of ICU


RAJNI out of ICU:
There could be no good news than this for Rajini fans now. The Superstar is out of the intensive care unit and has been shifted to a private ward, the Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre said Sunday night.
“He is cheerful and is spending time with all the family members and is watching cricket match on television keenly. His vital parameters are stable,” a press release from the hospital said.
Visitors are strictly not allowed as per the advice of doctors, the release however said. Meanwhile, doctors attending Rajini have said that they would soon take a decision on discharging him from the hospital. “He is perfectly alright,” they said.
The numero uno star of Tamil film industry was admitted to SRMC on Friday (May 13) after he complained of breathlessness. Doctors diagnosed that he had too much fluid in his chest. They put him through haemodialysis, and also removed fluid surrounding his chest. And like the Superstar’s films, all is well at last.
