Linux Foundation and Limo Foundation aiming to launch the brand new mobile os Tizen to compete with Android,Apple and Symbian OSes. It will be a Web - centric operating system for smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The Linux Foundation will host the project, and plans an initial release in the first quarter of 2012, enabling the first devices to come to market in mid-2012, it said. Tizen is an open source, standards-based software platform supported by leading mobile operators, device manufacturers, and silicon suppliers for multiple device categories, including smartphones, tablets, netbooks, in-vehicle infotainment devices, smart TVs, and more. Tizen will offer an innovative operating system, applications, and a user experience that consumers can take from device to device. The goal is to develop an OS that makes it easy to a run and develop browser-based applications such as on HTML-5, where most mobile OSes today focus on runni...

Did you ever think about producing energy from the window of your home to meet up with the energy needs? An Israeli company named Pythagoras Solar invented the World’s first transparent Photovoltaic glass unit (PVGU) which will produce energy from sunlight directly. Pythagoras Solar beat out nearly 5000 entrants to win this year’s $100,000 GE Ecomagination Challenge, which recognizes the most promising green energy building innovations, for its unique solar window. According to the CEO of Pythagoras Solar, the window will produce benefits such as power generation and reducing the building energy needs, while allowing light in. The technology is its optical design uses direct light to generate energy, while optimising daylight inside the building. Photovoltaic Glass Units (PVGUs), are compatible with standard glazing systems, combine energy efficiency, high density solar power generation and transparency. PVGUs employ a prism system that steers most of the so-called direct ...
