Pocket TV

2012-06-05T22:25:00.003-07:00

The Pocket TV looks like it can be added to any HDMI-equipped television and runs a full version of the latest Android. That means you can run any browser, games, apps, and other things designed for a phone. They offer two different remotes as well. I like the idea that it could be forever upgradeable by the user instead of having to wait for your TV manufacturer to update an existing TV's functionality. I'm not a huge fan of Android on a TV, since it looks pretty complicated and could use a simpler living room UI, but it does look pretty impressive in a small package that will work with most any TV. Looks like their target price after the Kickstarter campaign will be around $160 and availability looks to be this Fall.

It's already 2/3 funded so I suspect it will have an easy time making it over its first run goal in the next month.

The biggest problem with integrating today's newest TVs into your home is finding a competent home theater installer (or having enough DIY knowhow) to properly mount your TV, hide your components, and then hide the wires, which is no small task.
IKEA, probably tired of seeing their clean lined modern home theater units and stands covered in wires set out to solve the problem of mounting, hiding, and even getting things down to a single remote controller. They're calling this system UPPLEVA.
IKEA is going to start selling TVs with integrated home theater setups including a 1080p LED TV, DivX playback, Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, WiFi, as well as speakers including a wireless subwoofer. It looks pretty good and will solve a lot of problems for a large audience. I look forward to seeing what the pricing is like and what the capabilities are.

Promise.tv - records all content in a 7-day window

An interesting project out of the UK:Promise.tv. It has the ability to record all Freeview (British TV) streams including TV and radio (about 60 channels total) in a one-week buffer, allowing you to watch anything broadcast in the past seven days. No more season passes, no more suggested recordings, instead you get the ability to see anything at all on any channel recorded.
It's pretty crazy that this kind of heavy multistream recording is possible now in a single small box.

1) Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC;these, later joined together and made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, enhanced; the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty.

Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.

The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Lake in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that all the walls measure 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers

^{2) Petra}

Petra is a historical and archaeologicalcity in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock cut architecture and water conduit system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Mount Hor in abasin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorerJohann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."

^{3) Christ the Redeemer}

^{Christ the Redeemer is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; considered the largest Art Deco statue in the world and the 5th largest statue of Jesus in the world. It is 39.6 metres (130 ft) tall, including its 9.5 metres (31 ft) pedestal, and 30 metres (98 ft) wide. It weighs 635 tonnes (625 long,700 short tons), and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,300 ft)Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. A symbol of Brazilian Christianity, the statue has become an icon for Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, and was constructed between 1922 and 1931}

⁴⁾Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level.^[Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World.

The Incas started building the "estate" around 1400, but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historianHiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like.By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored. The restoration work continues to this day.

⁵⁾Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian citybuilt by the Maya civilization. The archaeological site is located in the municipality of Tinum, in theMexican state of Yucatán.

Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the northern Maya lowlands from the Late Classic (c.600–900 AD) through the Terminal Classic (c.800–900) and into the early portion of the Early Postclassic period (c.900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.

^{6) The Colosseum}

The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.

Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under the emperorVespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made duringDomitian's reign (81–96).The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).

Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

7) The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra,India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage.It coveres area about 221 hectare (552 Acres) which include 38 hectare taj mahal and 183 hectare taj protected forest are."

Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian,Turkish and Indian architectural styles.

8 ) The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza (called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) over an approximately 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (480.6 ft), the Great Pyramid was thetallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

Toyota Innova Review

Overall

Toyota Innova is the most popular MUV (Multi Utility Vehicle)in the Indian market which belongs to a breed of cars that is hardly seen in the auto market. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply Innova as this MPV replaced Toyota Kijang globally. In India, the MPV replaced Toyota Qualis. Hailing from the world’s top-most car manufacturer-Toyota Motors which operated in India with Kirloskar as Toyota Kirloskar Motors, Innova is a perfect Multi-Purpose Vehicle plying on Indian roads. Evidently, Toyota Innova was first launched in 2005 in India and comes as both 8-seater as well as 7-seater MPV.

Toyota Innova wishes to combine features like space and ruggedness associated with MUVs along with comfort and handling that is normally seen in high segment cars. Toyota Innova is an ambitious project, considering the fact that Toyota Innova replaced Qualis, which itself was a huge hit in utility vehicles in India. Toyota Innova showed Indian manufacturers great quality work in a segment where most of the cars sold, are used as taxis. Though, Innova is also used a lot a Taxi segment these days, it can be an owners pride for its design, comfort, safety and innovative features too. A facelifted version of this MPV was displayed at the 2012 Auto Expo.

Most of the changes are done on the outside of Innova. While headlamps are more angular now, bumpers are also restylised. The fog lamps now become oval in 8-seater and rhombus shaped in 7-seater and beautifully enclosed while the grille becomes upright with three chrome slats and Toyota badging at the centre of the topmost slat. Above the grille is a chrome thick band. The bonnet has a more prominent V now. While the side profile gets new skirting, alloy wheels and tail lights receives new profile plus a chrome band nicely placed on the back to add premium-ness to the MPV. Many new changes are also made in interiors which look more deluxe now.

Innova offers excellent handling and drive quality with its elegant interiors, additional advanced features and generous cabin space. Toyota Innova has an excellent shape. Its wheel arches are flared and it is high enough to do away with any number speed bumps that it might encounter.

Interior Comfort

The Optitron Combimeter with illuminator control makes for enhanced visibility and luxe feel. The utility vehicle is actually very useful for long drives because of its large size boot space for keeping large amount of luggage. The last seat can be folded to increase this space for even more luggage. Power steering, power windows with driver side auto down function and power door locks-quite common in a four wheeler today also do their duty in providing convenience to passengers. Generally, a strong AC in front is not able to cool the car fully and rear passengers end up complaining about the heat. However, Toyota India has negated this option and stuffed Dual AC with rear AC switch and ceiling vents for second and third row passengers. USB and AUX-in port renders comfort to passengers as they can have a variety of ways to listen music. A 12V power outlet helps you charge electronic gadget. Innova has four eyes unlike two in humans as it can look at back with its reverse cameras. All seats are very comfortable in cabin and can slide easily. The 3rd row seat can recline by 14 degree.

Mahindra Scorpio

Mahindra Scorpio Review

The advanced Intellipark system allows you to keep a look out for anything happening behind you without having to turn your head. Moreover, reversing ultrasonic sensors in the rear help you judge the distance between the vehicle and anything in its way. A sophisticated warning system allows you to judge the location of any obstacle in the rear view mirror.

Safety

The Mahindra Scorpio comes with advanced safety features that include three rear seatbelts, a collapsible steering column and intrusion beams. The Scorpio also has crash protecting crumple zones, for additional protection of its occupants from the impact of collisions.

Verdict

The Scorpio with its sturdy looks and powerful performance, the automobile has set a benchmark for the design of SUVs. It has undergone many modifications since its launch in India, in 2002 and now offers all the elements of comfort and ruggedness that are expected from a present-day SUV. The car rules the off-road tracks and is a head turner in the busy urban traffic.

scorpio micro hybrid

Your spanking new Scorpio's parked in the backyard, freshly washed, glinting in the sunlight and begging to be taken for a ride. You succumb to its entreaties, pick up the keys and jump in, a tune on your lips. you settle into the driver's seat, adjust the mirrors. slip your favourite CD into the audio system, turn up the engine settles into a steady idle' you engage first and you're off. The Scorpio's running smoothly and the new-car smell hovers around your nostrils.

scorpio micro hybrid

You smile - everything's as it should be. In the distance, you see cars slowing down as the traffic signal turns from amber to red. You shed speed accordingly, downshifting until you come to a gentle halt, and you put the Scorpio into neural. Just over two seconds later, the engine cuts out automatically. 'whoal what's going on?! you wonder. Panic floods you, with visions of breakdown vans and irate motorists standing on their horns behind you. The it hits - you're driving the Scorpio Micro Hybrid.

scorpio micro hybrid

Relieved, and feeling sheepish at having forgotten you wait for the light to turn green, depress the clutch pedal and continue on your merry way. If you're wondering what that was all about, It's quite simple. In this, the latest iteration of their best-selling Scorpio, Mahindra have incorporated what they call a 'Fuelsmart system with Micro Hybrid technology'. Before you ask, the answer is no,there's no electric motor whirring away as a sidekick to the IC engine and yes, the name is therefore a bit misleading, perhaps even gimmicky. What is it, then? I essence, it's lke a rather simple cut-off switch. The technology, developed by M&M and Bosch, enables the vehicle to detech movement while you're driving.

scorpio micro hybrid

When you've slowed down to a complete halt, and after you've engaged neutral, the system kicks in and cuts off the engine after 2 seconds. When you're good to go again, all you do is depress the clutch pedal and the engine starts up. The benefits of this feature are obvious, on the face of it. Te less time your engine spends running, the less fuel it consumes - that isn't exactly rocket science, is it? Additionally, when the engine's not running, it's not spewing noxious gases into the atmosphere - another plus. How does it work in the real world, though? The answer is 'well but not without drawbacks'. When you're waiting at a traffic light , it's all right to have the engine cut out for a couple of minutes and then re-start itself when you depress the clutch.
