OLPC ORIGINS

OLPC Origins: US and Taiwan's Hardware Lovechild

In November of 2005, Nicholas Negroponte and his OLPC CTO Mary Lou Jepsen traveled to Tunisia for the UN-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society, where they were able to present a "working" $100 laptop concept to Kofi Annan, UN secretary general. No longer did the machine rely on that pop-up rear-projection display; it was smaller, made of green plastic, and had a crank for the kids to work—for 10 straight minutes per hour of use—when they had no other access to electricity. It was a vast improvement over that January's pup-tent rear-projection laptop, hampered only by the fact that it was an absolute fake.

One attendee described it as a "balsa model with a keyboard and an LCD with a thick cable attached to a box under the counter." Others noted that the screen froze up during Negroponte's demo. Worst of all, when Annan himself approached the device with the sole intention of making Negroponte and his mission look good, the secretary general broke the crank handle. Clean off. Overnight, the broken handle story became an internet vote of no confidence. It was time to make this concept into something that would work. And that would take help.

The N79 will offer users plenty by way of multimedia and functionality with features that range from GPS with A-GPS support on Nokia Maps 2.0 and Geo tagging support, a 5MP auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics (behind a lens cover like the N82) and dual LED flashes and N-Gage on board. The handset will also come with Xpress-on smart covers that are available in five colors: Light Sea Blue, Espresso Brown, Olive Green, White and Coral Red. A combination of three of these comes with each Nokia N79.

It’s a 3G enabled handset with HSDPA speeds and Wi-Fi support as well, aside from the usual EDGE and GPRS. It also has Bluetooth with A2DP support. The N79 comes equipped with a 2.4 inch TFT display with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution sporting 16 million colors.

"The Nokia N79 packs cutting-edge technology into a compact design - a characteristic of the iconic N-series - that allows people to discover, create and share their passions with others," said Juha Kokkonen, Director, Nokia N-series. "It has been designed for those who want a device that is as appealing as it is powerful and comes with interchangeable covers that have automatically matching screen themes."

The Nokia N79 comes packaged with a 4 GB microSD memory card. A Friendster widget will also be made available for the Nokia N79 via the WidSets service. This will allow people to browse Friendster friends' profiles, view and post shoutouts, upload pictures taken with their handset, and browse their own and friends' photo albums. New users can even register for Friendster directly on their device via a link to Friendster's mobile site (m.friendster.com), create an account and instantly begin participating in the Friendster global community.

The players are expected to be released by December, retailing for around Rs 5,474 for the 1 GB P10K and Rs 7,000 for the 2 GB P20K (converted prices).

City-In-a-Pyramid Could House a Million Dubaians, Power Itself
A particularly optimistic design firm in Dubai called Timelinks has proposed designs for the Ziggurat, a complete city to be layered inside of a massive pyramid that could serve as home for a million people at a time. Timelinks is currently seeking patents for a variety of technologies that would make such a building possible, including a three axis public transportation system that would run residents up, through and across the pyramid. They've also claimed that with a hybrid wind, solar and steam power the Ziggurat would be able to meet its own power needs, and that there would be enough room to allow for some minor agriculture in designated "green spaces."

3 channel black seeth r/c chopper

The guys at Think Geek are bringing R/C junkies one of the cheapest 3-channel mini choppers on the market with the new "Black Stealth." Unlike dinky 2-channel versions, the Black Stealth can handle forward flight with ease—or so they claim. In fact, Think Geek goes so far as to say that it is the easiest to fly small copter they have ever used. I would be kind of skeptical with a price tag of only $30, but the video below does a good job of showing off its capabilities.
