I’ve written too many posts on different gadgets and tech topics. Today I feel like writing about something new – tech but still a different. Eco gadgets are also related tech, aren’t they? I never quite realised about such gadgets until a friend of mine asked me that I should also mention about energy saving gadgets, recycling gadgets, etc in my blog. That way it’d be at least a little help to save our environment from being polluted. So, here it goes…a new beginning

Our society is known to recycle more with every passing year. This indeed is a great achievement; however the amount of waste is still increasing greatly due to the escalated personal consumption and population growth.

Appearance

NatureMill is a device that enables composting at home. It is one of the most essential systems available in the market today. It enables you to collect the waste from your kitchen and a computer within the vessel allows you to adjust the moisture, temperature as well as the air-flow. You can also control the mixing process in order to accelerate the composting and get rid of the exhausting work effortlessly. The whole apparatus is enclosed in a contemporary container. All you need is some floor space without any electrical or plumbing connections. Just a power plug-in shall get you started with processing the rot. The best possible use of NatureMill is that it provides a source of rich, organic fertilizer to all the garden enthusiasts.
Functionality

NatureMill can accommodate up to 120lbs of waster per month – approximately 55 kilograms. It is advisable to cut the products into small pieces before churning them in to the NatureMill for best results. The items are stored in the upper chamber that has the hot composting conditions. The energy that is produced would destroy odours, seed germinant as well as pathogens. The compost is then transferred all the way through the trap door and the lower chamber where it continues the process at the same time as you can keep adding waste items from the top.

Eco-Friendly

NatureMill helps in reducing the methane emissions. Besides, this device itself is made out of recyclable materials and the energy required for running this machine is as low as 5kwh per month and the running costs are about $0.50 per month. Such is cost is even lesser than the cost of running a garbage truck. Every composter by the company has either met or surpassed the Energy Star Requirements.

You can process all the waste materials including paper and food items. You can check the list of the product to know about the specific examples. It allows you to process one batch every two weeks and the computerized interface makes it extremely easy to process the composting. The NatureMill composter is available in a range of different colours that would complement the colour of your kitchen interiors. The price starts at $299 and extends up to $399 for the pro version. However, it is an investment worth taking in order to reduce the harmful effects of waste on our planet.

Graphic organizers could be a great teaching tool that you can use on a regular basis. A lot of teachers today recommend the use of KWL charts; however, those are not the only graphic organizers existing today. There are a number of visual and mathematical learners out there would be benefited from such a learning type. If these graphic organizers are used in the corporate environments, they would yield amazing results.

For the longest possible time, the teachers were required to present the learning resources to their students in a conventional manner. They were required to stay organized in order to present the understandable graphs, diagrams, charts or any other forms of graphic learning resources. However, with the advent of technology, things seem to be changing pretty fast. There are several graphic organizers available in the market that would simplify the learning process for the teachers as well as the students.

SmartDraw Graphic Organizer presents full capability to all the teachers that would assist them in generating their own graphic organizers. They can now replace the old, featureless templates with the new interfaces in order to accelerate the learning process. Such a product was considered to the revolution in the market for the reason that the teachers get to choose from hundreds of “SmartTemplates”. The teachers can create the applications pretty quickly here and they can save it pretty easily.

MatchWare Open Mind 2 is another product that has taken the market in a whirl. This software is a mind-mapping application that would help you create your own professional looking templates quickly. This happens to be great software for all those who need quick presentations. It is entirely compatible with Microsoft Windows and this software has so many great features that it would leave you confused about which features to use.

Tinderbox is the software for highly functional presentations. This is a powerful tool to create different types of simulations and this software offers more capability as compared to the other products in the market.

The above mentioned graphic organizers are the most selling products on the internet today and they offer something unique in their own way. You can add that special touch to your presentation. These products are easily available all over the web and it takes only a few seconds to download these organizers. So it doesn’t matter if you need to create a presentation for the class five students or a bunch of corporate professionals, these graphic organizers would be of great use.

I think in the past Hotmail used to allow POP3 and SMTP facility, means one could download emails from Hotmail inbox using e-mail client software without using web. Later it allowed this facility only to paid Hotmail Plus users. I’ve been asked many times by my friends and relatives, the settings how one can access their Hotmail emails from email-clients. I mean how could I tell them when Hotmail itself hadn’t provided this feature?

But recently Hotmail announced POP3 technology to Hotmail users also and it’s great news for every Hotmail user. Now, all you need to do is install any e-mail software program on your mobile phone or computer, do some configurations and walla !!! – the mails form your inbox will be delivered in the designated program. You won’t need to login to your account thru the web browser at all. Cool huh???

One more thing, for now this service is available to Hotmail users in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands only. But not need to worry as Hotmail will be providing it to almost every part of the world within this year. Still if you want to use this feature right now, you can change your Registered Information of Hotmail or Live account to the country above. That should solve your problem for a while.
Here’s the POP3 and SMTP server configuration setting for the email client:

POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

The hype about iPhone 3G was very big but just after the 4 days of its release Breno MacMasi,a Brazilian guy unlocked it using a special card (not a software unlock though). Before also other versions of iPhone were unlocked using the same way. Then 3 or 4 months later the iPhone Dev-Team hacked the iPhone 3G for any network. They have released a user-friendly application PwnageTool and QuickPwn which will they say will easily unlock 3G iPhone.

Well, I haven’t tried these methods because my iPhone is precious to me and I don’t want to treat it like a guinea pig experimenting different methods that are found over the internet. I want to be sure on which method actually works or which guarantees unlock iPhone without any risk.

It will be out in the market on March but the hype is on. G19 Gaming Keyboard might be the best you can get to improve your gaming. Logitech sure is making the push to add something extra for the gamers in every way possible.

This new line up of Logitech’s gaming series include a 320×240 colored LCD display powered with GamePanel technology, twelve fully programmable G-keys with three macros per key(I don’t know what that mean actually), a game mode switch that disables the Windows key so your game won’t be interrupt if pressed accidentally. Also for the convenience there are two powered Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports, intelligent cable management (keep mouse, headset, and other cords out of the way by routing them through channels on the underside of the keyboard) and instant media access (one-touch controls for volume and media playback).

Everything seems just perfect but the one thing that bothers me is it’s not wireless. Man how could they miss it. I will still feel like I’m a terminator but in 18th century. I seriously think they should cut the wire. Everything else is cool with me.

Well, the G19 can be used with Window XP or Vista and Mac OS X 10.4 or later versions, and requires at least 20 MB HD space. $199 seems like too much to pay for a keyboard but for the love of the game c’mon guys we have to.

Today, I’m not actually writing a post. It’s like I am conducting a survey and I want people to help me out by giving their honest opinion. It’s 2009 and everyone knows how difficult it was for us - computer user in 2008. I really hope hackers, scammers, bombers and virus makers will get severe punishment so that they will think twice before even thinking of doing anything as such. So, people help me out here.

I used to have free AVG which was doing pretty good until a friend of mine used internet from my PC and opened some porn site where he did stuffs that downloaded some kind of virus. After that also, I tried to Google it out and clean out the virus but by then the virus had spread and there was no other alternative than to format my hard drive. I did so and now I’ve installed DeepFreeze along with NOD32 antivirus. Also I have installed Spybot for protection from spywares and adwares. Everything’s going fine except the computer is a little bit slower but then you got to lose something to have something, right?
Anyways, this was about my PC. What have you installed for your PC’s protection? Do submit your views and comments. Together let’s fight for a better and secure world for PC users.

I still am using the same old Windows XP and many others are too. I haven’t upgraded my Operating System because it’s user-friendly for me and it is doing fine. I don’t feel like changing it. I have seen many cyber cafes out here have got Windows 98 and 2000 installed. In their compare, I am still far ahead Hehe.

Anyways, just because we aren’t upgrading doesn’t mean that others aren’t too. Windows is continually working on their operating system and they are releasing the newer versions with less security loop-holes. Recently, they have launched Windows 7. The previous one was Windows Vista. Well, many people may question why 7, why not something like Windows XP or Vista. I too was among those who were banging my head on that question. Later I came to find out that the reason was simple yet made sense. Actually, this is the seventh release of Windows, therefore “Windows 7”. Still many confusions may arise regarding the release though because if people start counting on their own way then this definitely is not going to be the just the seventh release. But it’s not we who give this name.

Anyway, the numbering we used is quite simple. The very first release of Windows was Windows 1.0, the second was Windows 2.0, the third Windows 3.0.

Here’s where things get a little more complicated. Following Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Then came Windows 95, which was code versioned as Windows 4.0. Then, Windows 98, 98 SE and Windows Millennium each shipped as 4.0.1998, 4.10.2222, and 4.90.3000, respectively. So we’re counting all 9x versions as being 4.0.

Windows 2000 code was 5.0 and then we shipped Windows XP as 5.1, even though it was a major release we didn’t’ want to change code version numbers to maximize application compatibility.

That brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0. So we see Windows 7 as our next logical significant release and 7th in the family of Windows releases.  -  Windows Team Blog

See how this all make sense now???
