Arquitectura sustentável na Malásia ( Arquitectura Arquitetura Malasia Putrajaya Bioclimatica Sustentavel Ecologia Ambiente Energia )





Arquitectura sustentável na Malásia ( Arquitectura Arquitetura Malasia Putrajaya Bioclimatica Sustentavel Ecologia Ambiente Energia ): "Desde a construção das torres Petronas que a Malásia, e mais propriamente a sua capital, Kuala Lumpur, é referência na arquitectura mundial. Assim sendo, não surpreende ali vermos nascer mais alguns edifícios notórios. Só que, desta vez, o seu interesse não reside na altura - bem pelo contrário! - mas sim no facto de serem bons exemplos de arquitectura bioclimática e sustentável. Oito edifícios invulgares irão prolongar a frente urbana de Putrajaya, zona situada 30 Km a Sul da capital e conhecida como Precinct 4."

Dubai All Set To Create The World's Largest Man-made Island - Gizmo Watch: "How about creating an island large enough to let a million people live, work and socialize right in the middle of the sea? As you would have guessed, it is none other than the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s grandiose plan. Enter the Palm Deira, the latest of Dubai’s trilogy of man-made islands. This Island will occupy all of 46.35 million square metres of land reclaimed from the Persian gulf to make the Palm Deira the largest man-made island in the entire world.

So say we all: Battlestar Galactica volta ao ar hoje | Meio Bit






So say we all: Battlestar Galactica volta ao ar hoje Meio Bit: "Galactica foi uma das séries que marcaram minha infância nos Anos 80, cheguei a gravar em fita K7 os episódios, e transcrever o diálogos, em uma máquina de escrever. Canibalizei vários kits Revell para montar um Caça Viper MK-I, e valeu cada minuto.
Assim quando soube que iriam fazer um remake da série, fiquei assustado. Quando vi que era com o cara de Miami Vice, piorou. Então falaram que Starbuck seria uma mulher. Pronto, meu mundo caiu.
Depois de assistir à mini-série, na versão nova, continuei chocado, mas pela qualidade do que foi mostrado. Galactica é considerada por muita gente a melhor série de ficção científica de todos os tempos. Eu concordo, e sou trekker de carteirinha."

Sonic Chair: cadeira para ouvir música ( Cadeira Musica Som Audio Design Tecnologia Sonic Chair ): "Esta cadeira é verdadeiramente uma casca onde nos podemos isolar do mundo embalados pela música.

Mas é bom que seja verdade, tendo em conta o preço por que a querem vender: cerca de 7 000 Euros (mais de 10 000 USD)."

Microsoft Xune: Integrating The Music World With The Gaming Domain! - Gizmo Watch


Microsoft Xune: Integrating The Music World With The Gaming Domain! - Gizmo Watch: "Anyone who knows about the Zune will tell you that Microsoft’s venture has not been as popular as Apple’s version of the Mp3 player that you can carry around in tour pocket. It just seems that it never became as popular as the Nano and it has not spread across the globe the way Microsoft would have hoped it would. Irrespective of that fact, Microsoft has gone ahead to make the Xune- An amalgamation of the music world and the gaming domain, with a slight touch of an iPod. Basically we’re dealing with the Xbox 360 controller with a touch of Mylo and iPod Nano. The console also features shoulder buttons, a touch-wheel with a center button, a sliding keyboard and 4:3 ratio aspect ratio screen. The keyboard will be used for web surfing, email and chat, while the device is compatible with the Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center.

It even is probably going to get its own widescreen version and that would be cool too. But the rate at which cell phone technology is growing and the rate at which companies like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are making progress, I suppose mobiles will replace this anyway in course of time. It would be very interesting to see if the Xune does commercially better than the Zune. Personally I have my doubts about it because of the fact that maybe not too many addicted to the Xbox might prefer the new smaller version fit for travel. Also, I just don’t think Microsoft has done enough with the Zune to get the word going around on Xune now. All that being said I wonder if we will see iPod being merged with Wii! I would like that for sure.

Communication Concept Aids Chatting On The Run, An Athletes Nightmare - Gizmo Watch


Communication Concept Aids Chatting On The Run, An Athletes Nightmare - Gizmo Watch: "I’ve been an athlete for most part of my schooling and tell you what I wouldn’t have preferred it for anything. The long distance runners or the throwers can still get into a conversation with the crowd but for a sprinter doing this, he would talk or loose or else concentrate or win. Don’t really know how the international athletes would take to such a technology that enables you to thoroughly interact with the crowd where each of the participants has an individual phone number to attend to those fans calling you. Even Marathon is an event which requires a lot of head-keeping, so wonder what this low cost communication device could do. A sheer waste of technology, time and brain…Only the geeks won’t mind it for they don’t have to win but gag around.

We, at Gizmowatch recommend the Guitar Hero 3:Legends of Rock game title for a complete gaming experience. And, to avoid all that clutter that abounds with a cartload of game equipment and it’s assorted controllers, don’t forget to add a universal remote. To complete your game room, you could add a Nintendo DS Lite portable gaming console as the final addition for $130. All that gaming equipment will set you back by an affordable $2510. Now, if you are not satisfied with all this and you happen to want a gaming room that really is out of the world, take a look at this one, and be prepared to pay all of 8 grand for it.
