KegDroid, a beer tap under Android:

May 2012 is definitely full of surprises… Blizzard fans are behind their screens playing the much waited Diablo 3, meanwhile Android and beer fans will be astonished by this: Paul Carff designed an Android beer tap. The name of this prototype is KegDroid (called Betsy sometimes); its physical appearance is the famous BugDroid. The particularity of the machine is not only the design, it is also the Motorola Xoom tablet who is incorporated (it can be removed for another tablet if wanted) and an Arduino system inside the machine in order to pump it up (the beer of course). However, the only way of payment is by an NFC chip: we can believe this is the beginning of Google’s marketing for businesses in order to introduce his new NFC application (Google Wallet).

Moreover, the application is connected to your Google + account, and here is a video showing how works the whole system!

Choc Creator : a 3D chocolate printer

Easter is already finished, but for Choc Edge, that argument is invalid for not thinking about chocolate anymore. Therefore, they invented a machine that can print chocolate in three dimensions. The program used by the printer is open-source, and you can shape the chocolate in the three directions (height, depth and length).

The machine is still in a prototype phasis, but Choc Edge will commercialize it soon enough. Choc Edge is a spin-off company from the University of Exeter, where the founder of the company Dr. Liang Hao created 3D chocolate printing technology in association with colleagues and students.

Electric car’s future, seen by IBM

Three big companies in the high-tech sector allied there selves in order to create a new battery for electric vehicles. These firms are IBM, Asahi Kasei and Central Glass. This new battery generation is called Battery 500, due to the fact that some tests were showing the autonomy was about 500 miles.

Battery 500 technology

The two main components of this battery are lithium, and… air. More precisely, oxygen contained in the air: in contact with lithium, oxygen generates an amount of electric energy, so that the battery, when driving is charging herself. When the battery is completely empty of energy, you just need to plug the battery, you refill it with electricity, and all the oxygen is free again.

Currently, electric vehicles generally have 90 miles of autonomy. From 90 to 500, there is a lot of difference, but the battery shouldn’t be commercialized before 2030.

Brand-new born from Google : Google Drive

Google Drive is the new cloud computing application of Google. However, what is exactly cloud computing ? To explain it in a sentence, cloud computing is an online application that allows the user to store and share whatever he wants, and the application can communicate with many devices (computer, mac, iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones…).

There are many kinds of cloud computing, but the most interesting are DaaS and STaaS : Data as a Service and STorage as a Service. These two allow users to connect to the application wherever they are and with every device he registered. Data and storage concern all type of documents and informations : internet accounts, Word documents, videos… and you can access with your Google + account to share instantly in one click.

Before Google, there were a lot of other services, for instance DropBox, or Amazon, but Google has an important sharing service provided with (certainly same sharing than Google Docs). Google Drive is absolutely free for the first 5GB. In order to have more, prices are : less than 2$/month for 25GB and up to 800$/month for 16TB.

The cloud computing experience is having more and more importance in our lives. Google already found that out, and after 6 years of developing its new application, Google Drive is out now (but not for all devices yet). Visit the official website to obtain more informations and to see the video.

For my part, as a non rich person I considered design like something very beautiful and pure capable to give a natural aspect to every house!That’s why I divided the design aspect in two categories:  simple and eccentric houses!In conclusion: simple is furniture that every people can buy: in contrary, eccentric furniture created by fashion designers in order to touch a certain kind of people.In the two cases, the most part of theses furniture are  so amazing! So it’s possible to have fine furniture if we have much money or not: everybody deserves a beautiful house were to live!

Ikea

The advantage of this aspect of design is that people can have fine furniture without spend so much money! This aspect of furniture is represented by the Swedish furniture company Ikea! Ikea is the first and the only one company according to me who is capable to provide fine furniture and not too much expensive at the same time! Until their creation their evolution is bigger and bigger in Sweden and in other places of the planet! Ikea is one of the bigger names of furniture Company even if it’s not too much expensive! In fact: they create a unique concept which is: furniture not too much expensive with a good quality. For my part, my house is full of Ikea furniture! I find it fine and accessible to everyone! At the same time the Ikea is capable to propose new furniture and original designs every year! That’s why, I really like this brand, and I never stopped to like it!

To finish, furniture can be as a masterpiece. This aspect of houses is represented buy the creations of many fashion designers who propose to us eccentric but some originals furniture! This new aspect of house living is represented by some fashion designers like: Jean Jacques de Castelbajac who is the idol of many fashionistas in the world for celebrities and anonymous!
