As the Bing team acknowledged on their blog, a darker version of our Bing homepage doesn’t save any energy over the regular version, they wanted to help spread the word about the same. To find out more about what you can do to support Earth Hour, see http://www.myearthhour.org/community.

People from 3,100 cities in 121 countries on all 7 continents are participating in Earth Hour, where people across the world can demonstrate their concern about global climate change with the simplest of gestures: turning off all non-essential lights and electronics. Would you participate too ?

                          

For example, pink color demonstrates images, green for movies, blue for documents and no light means there is no data inside the stick. To make the fun more interesting, theses lights moves whenever users shake the device. The desktop icon has also been customized to synchronize with the operating system, making it more succinct.

Recently i posted Avatar Movie in 4D and now James Cameron the Director of Oscar Winning Movie “Avatar” revealed plans that the 3D version of Titanic is expected to release on spring of 2012 which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship. Cameron also hinted about the possibility of releasing Blue-ray disc of Avatar 3D.

We may see a lot of other big titles to see in 3 D after the success of Avatar and now Alice in Wonderland. And Yes, 3D effects can be added to films shot without the use of 3D-specific cameras like Cameron used for Avatar. This includes Warner Bros.’s upcoming Clash of the Titans, a film that was not shot in 3D, but is being converted to 3D over an eight-week period.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are working on a wireless energy transfer technology that could ensure wireless devices are always charged up and ready to go. This technology has already been rested by the team at MIT, one of the top US academic “laboratories” for new inventions, to power a 60 watt bulb from a power source two meters away. According to Marin Soljacic, a professor of physics at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "That’s more than enough juice to supply an average laptop". Pr. Soljacic has been working on this project for several years.

The concept behind the technology is based on the fact that two resonant objects on the same resonance frequency can exchange energy efficiently. For this experiment, the MIT team used electromagnetic resonators in the form of copper coils, which oscillated at a certain frequency, trading energy within a given electromagnetic field. One of the coils was attached to a power source. The other acted as a receiver.

The researchers, having proved that the technology dubbed “WiTricity” does work, plan to refine & enhance the technology to make it more efficient, glitch being the communicating range between two devices wont increase much.

Infact, they are pretty much confident they can enhance the system and make it reliable enough so that consumers can cut off power cords and most probably batteries for their laptops or mobile phones too, if they are being used in the same room as the power source.

Although this project is going on for some years now and most of us pretty know it too , but its not being covered here.
