Microsoft Surface

In last few months we have noticed many tablet releases from many tech giants like Samsung, Apple, Sony, Micromax & Blackberry. But this October the most awaited & most anticipated tablet got announced, the first tablet ever from Microsoft itself.                                                                                                   
This tablet sports windows RT which is an ARM version of windows 8. At 680.4 gm the tablet is bit heavy. Though its thickness is same as ipad4 it feels thicker because of its wide edges. It has a built in kickstand made of the same material as remaining body.
The surface runs on an ARM quad core 1.3GHz Cortex A-9 processor,
Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset & Ge Force GPU. With this processing power, 32/64 GB storage, 64 GB MMC support & 2GB RAM, your tab will never go out of memory. The front side of tab is covered by 10.6 inches of TFT capacitive screen (1366 x 768 pixels) which supports 5 fingers multitouch & cleartype technology.
On connectivity side it has Bluetooth 4.0, wifi a/b/g/n & 2.0 USB port. Also it has two cameras both 1.2 MP on either side (front & rear). The surface comes with exclusive Office 2013 preview, courtesy of   windows RT. The text editing methods on surface are very innovative, there are two different keyboards one is with tactile & hard keys connected by magnetic connector & another one also acts screen cover, the keys are small, soft, raised areas of material of touchpad.
The surface pricing is not fixed yet but it’s in the range of 35k to39k well, that may be considered as a hefty price tag in India, but believe me that this tab is giving a serious competition to other tablets like ipad4 & galaxy tab2 & if you are a tech geek & looking for a tablet just like this then you should give it a try.

GreenHouse Gases

A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.[1] The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. In the Solar System, the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, and Titan also contain gases that cause greenhouse effects. Greenhouse gases greatly affect the temperature of the Earth; without them, Earth's surface would be on average about 33 °C (59 °F)[note 1] colder than at present.[2][3][4] Since the beginning of the Industrial revolution , the burning of fossil fuels has increased the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 280ppm to 390ppm.[5][6] Unlike other pollutants, carbon dioxide emissions do not result from inefficient combustion: CO2 is a product of ideal, stoichiometric combustion of carbon. [7] The emissions of carbon are directly proportion...

Electric Car

The REVAi/G-Wiz i electric car charging from an on-street station in London. An electric car is a plug-in battery powered automobile which is propelled by electric motor(s). Electric cars have the potential of significantly reducing city pollution by having zero tail pipe emissions .[1][2][3] Vehicle greenhouse gas savings depend on how the electricity is generated. With the current U.S. energy mix, using an electric car would result in a 30% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Given the current energy mixes in other countries, it has been predicted that such emissions would decrease by 40% in the UK,[8] 19% in China,[9] and as little as 1% in Germany.[10][11] Electric cars are expected to have a major impact in the auto industry [12][13] given advantages in city pollution, less dependence on oil, and expected rise in gasoline prices. [14][15][16] World governments are pledging billions to fund development of electric vehicles and their components. The ...
