It might change the world as we know it, but we still haven’t seen it yet…Firefox 4 should be released to fight against upcoming Internet Explorer 8, but there are only two features that were told to the market.

The first feature is called “Prism”, which will simply let you run web-based content in an offline mode. I already know this as “Work Offline”, so I can’t really see what’s so special about that, but time will tell.

The second feature is “Weave” which will enable you to create different profiles for users in a computer, so that each user can browse according to their online preferences, quite useful in family computers.

Mozilla vice president Chris Beard told that these are just some of the crazy ideas that they are working on, so there should be much more to see.

The Lynx space shuttle is developed by XCOR Aerospace, who have been developing and researching propulsion systems for nine years.

Virgin Galactic announced it was looking for a SpaceShipTwo, after the success that the SpaceShipOne contest created, and the Lynx could provide heavy competition if it joined the contest. The two-seat space vehicle is capable of reaching outside the Earth’s atmosphere in mere 3 minutes, which will be fast enough to let plenty scientists amaze themselves with views only possible in documentaries and computer animations.

“We have designed this vehicle to operate much like a commercial aircraft. Its liquid fuel engines will provide the enhanced safety, durability, reliability and maintainability that keep operating costs low,” Greason said. “These engines will also minimize the impact of these flights on the environment,” Greason added. “They are fully reusable, burn cleanly, and release fewer particulates than solid fuel or hybrid rocket motors.”

No offense to anyone who is anorexic, especially top models. The new Lenovo X300 surely impresses even the guys at Apple, because the MacBook Air is 0.1lbs heavier than the X300…

You should get different versions, but the most recent one I saw had an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU at 1.2GHz with 4MB cache against MacBook’s 1.6GHz, 2GB of RAM which is the same as its Apple counterpart. The hard drive is only 64GB against Apple’s 80GB, but there are 3 USB ports, and a DVD writer, which doesn’t even exist in the MacBook.

As you know, smoking isn’t good nowadays, and also it isn’t easy. You might know, that in some countries people can’t smoke in public closed spaces, such as a restaurant or even in your own work office. so then, somebody invented an USB Ash Tray. Ok, so what it does?

 As you can see in the image, it seems to be a simple Ash Tray, but it has other functions. It eliminates the odour on a large area, some 5  square mts, and it also gives a better frescure and fragrance to all the room.

It has a filter, so that it removes the smell and not just covers it. It is being sold from USBGeek and you can buy it from here.

 The price is nice, being a good present:

22$

In the past year everybody was talking about the revolutionary Second Life, many companies have being opening their own stores and putting their brands in this new kind of life. But, did somebody think this project could disappear or simply crash?

I don’t think so. If we search now at Keyword Discovery the word “Second Life”we will get approximately 50.000 searches, but although I don’t have that data I remember in October of the past year this value was 300.000. So, what happened? You can search some indications of a possible crash right in The New Your Times.

Now, I advice you, investing in a Virtual World is just speculation, and any return is expected in a short time. Maybe with a Google purchase can change the things to a better aspect.

Now, seeing another graphic, from Google Trends, we easily see that there are no future to Second Life. This graph is more ugly than some others from the stock market.

Aerogrow is the gadget of the moment in the USA, manly because this is a tool that let us have plants on our home, room, kitchen or even in the living room without natural solar energy. It have the same effect as a Glasshouse, but is totally different from that. It is a little box with some “lightness”. You put your flowerpot in it and it is just that. This machine works 24 hours day.

This company also sells specific seeds to grow in this gadget. You can see them right here.

“They can grow herbs, vegetables, and flowers in a room that lacks light. The “smart” system includes full-spectrum light and reminders for adding water and minerals. With plants’ roots suspended in air, aeroponic technology from NASA is supposed to encourage growth twice as fast as in soil. DisneyWorld uses aeroponics to grow food for its restaurants.” The price is reasonable,

from 99$ to 149$.

The Technology is simple:

“Aeroponics: Considered the highest-producing crop technology in the world

Aeroponics: “The Growing Technology of Tomorrow” is featured in Orlando at Disney’s Future World, The Land Exhibit. The Land is a space age, food-producing farm, using the most advanced growing methods in the world, featuring Aeroponics.

This 3-acre, state-of-the-art, working garden demonstrates the ease, simplicity and outstanding growth rates achieved when growing without soil using Aeroponics and Hydroponics.

The Land today produces more than 20,000 pounds of food every year for use in Disney World’s upscale restaurants. Using the advanced soil-less growing technologies featured at The Land, farmers can produce tomatoes at 250 tons per acre per year, rather than the average in the world, which is 10 tons per year, a potential 25-time increase over traditional, soil-based farming methods.”
