But fear not as our ScientistsMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have solved the problem once and for all. They have created the world’s first practical artificial leaf that can turn sunlight and water into energy, which they claim could pave the way for a cheaper source of power.

“A practical artificial leaf has been one of the Holy Grails of science for decades. We believe we have done it. And placed in a gallon of water and left in sun, these artificial leaves could provide a home in the developing world with basic electricity for a day,” Daniel Nocera, who led the team, said.

He added: “Our goal is to make each home its own power station. One can envision villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology.”

Sounds quite NERDY but hay if they think it’s an OK then they are much smarter than all of us.

In the case of all apps purchased from the Apple store as well as in the terms that are shown on iTunes, once a sale is finished it is final without the possibility to benefit from a refund and also there have never been a trial period for any of Apple’s apps .Thus it is unusual and a first timer for Apple.
Of course just because you agree to the terms where it’s clearly stated that all sales are final, this does not mean that Apple has never refunded before. On the App Store there is a form that you may fill out and issue a formal request to Apple where you may explain the problems that you have and from there Apple will decide if they will issue you a refund or not.

If you are one of the unsatisfied customers of Final Cut Pro X it advices you to request a refund now because no one will know for how long Apple will continue to offer these refunds.

Now the concept has changed. John Locke, a US author sold over a million books with an e-book reader called ‘Kindle’. John Locke published and sold 9 of her books via Kindle. This didn’t only save him the hassle to contact the publishing agency but also enabled him to make the entire process of earning a lot more transparent and swift.

According to BBC, John Locke has now become the eighth writer to sell more than a million copies of his books by using Kindle. Apart from him, Stieg Larsson and James Patterson have also achieved an analogous milestone. John Locke’s most recent book is about his journey of becoming a success as a writer. The title of the book is ‘How I sold 1 Million e-books in 5 months’.  Saving Rachel, Vegas Moon and Don’t Poke the Bear are amongst the most downloaded books from his nine novels.

Critics believe that one of the primary reasons apart from the ability of John Locke as a writer is the massive increase in the sale of Digital books. People prefer using e-book readers such as Kindle. It makes it easier for them to access the huge collection of books even on the move. The reader can download the novels from where ever he is, as long as he has internet access.

Hundreds and thousands of Comcast Corporation customers, based in Washington D.C. and New England, were literally unable to reach the Internet on Sunday 28th November, 2010 due to Comcast outage that lasted for at least three hours, beginning at 8 p.m.

The Comcast outage comprehended deeply into the Cyber Monday as well, which is one of the most awaited days of the year for online shoppers, and most likely that was the reason why the term ‘Comcast outage’ had been topping the top Google trends until 3:00 p.m. yesterday on Monday 29th November, 2010.

According to multiple sources, when customers called Comcast Sunday night to ask about the unusual outage problem, they met nothing but dropped calls, busy signals and automated voice messages forcing them to confer with the official website of Comcast and when they did so even then, the customers found themselves plainly helpless.

Whereas on Cyber Monday the company utterly denied to furnish answers even for some basic questions such as: why anyone was not answering the calls? How many customers lost service due to Comcast outage?

However, Doreen I. Vigue, a spokesperson to the company, said, “A technical glitch caused Internet outages for customers on Sunday night, mainly near Washington D.C. and the Boston area.”

Nevertheless, cutting the long story short, without internet services, all internet users are kind of dead in the water!

RockMelt, the somewhat innovative kind of browser, has the ability to keep tags on your most liked websites. According to Andreessen, RockMelt not only alerts you when new content pops up on your favorite websites, but at the same time makes it easier to turn over through search results as well.

In order to give the same good browsing experience to users every time they try to browse through RockMelt, a log in (personal account on the homepage just like the iGoogle) facility has also been added on this new browser.

RockMelt is fabricated with more social capabilities than any other browser and most likely that is why the innovative team working behind RockMelt is very much optimistic about their new browser’s capabilities to set free a new wave of innovation that would intensify the price war in the existing market.

Marc Andreessen said “the market is ripe for new ideas and better products but what is more exciting and pushing about this field that is how dynamic the market has become. More than 500 million users have changed browsers in the last three years. Back when I was working on the browser (RockMelt), there weren’t that many people on the Internet”.

Sony has indeed created the dream console that not only locks a PSP in itself, but also operates like a Smartphone, with hopes of going up against the entirely new breed of ‘Touchscreen Smarthphones’ that have almost kicked Sony’s existing non-phone portable gaming consoles out of the market.

According to the available prototypes, the Playstation Phone (a Sony Ericsson handset running Android 3.0) comes with a similar to the actual PSP slide-out button panel that includes the shoulder buttons as well to provide the users with the experience of premium PSP gaming on cell-phone.

So, apparently the Playstation Phone has everything in it, what the users wanted.

It is not confirmed yet whether the prototypes have intentionally been spread into the market, or that is just a leakage due to security flaws.

Anyways, finally when the long-rumored Playstation Phone of Sony has been spotted in prototypes, at least, it can be presumed that the electronic giant has decided to make its way back into the mobile gaming with its latest weapon.

But, will it be able to take the exciting new world of portable gaming into the next phase or not, it is still to be found!

According to multiple reports, the computer entertainment giant announced earlier today on Monday 25th October, 2010 that it will lower down the current market price of PSP Go from $330 (26,800 JPY) to $208 (16,800 JPY). It has also been learnt that the new pricing scheme is being undertaken to boost up the disappointing sales figures of the handheld device, PSP Go.

PSP Go was launched last year in November and was hailed by the said company as the ‘the start of a new age in portable gaming’, but utterly conflicting with the introductory statement, the PSP Go did not prove up to the mark and that’s why has now suffered a major cost reduction.

The price reduction in case of the new console is said to be made so early just because PSP Go was introduced to the market at a price comparatively much higher to the existing model of PSP and with that price Sony wont be able to achieve its target sales figure of 2 million PSP Go units in the current fiscal year to March 2011.

So, once after the new pricing scheme for the PSP Go is in application from Tuesday, the PSP Go will cost same the price as for the previous model of this series, PSP 3000.
