Android’s next version 4.4 named after Nestle’s chocolate treat, Android Kitkat.

The Next version of Android (Android 4.4) will be called Android Kitkat  and not Key Lime pie.

"Android is the operating system that powers over 1 billion smartphones and tablets. Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. As everybody finds it difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite chocolate treats, Kitkat®!"

This is what Android says in their website..

Google has made a deal  with Nestlé to use the name ‘KitKat’ for its next version of Android.
Despite the partnership, Google representatives were keen to point out that this was not a “money-changing-hands kind of deal”, although Nestle does plan to sell more than 50 million chocolate bars featuring the Android mascot on its wrapper. The KitKats will ship to 19 key markets including the UK, US, Brazil, India, Japan and Russia.
Another big announcement was made by Sunadar Pichai, Head of Android,
“We now have over 1 Billion Android activations and hope this guy in front of the building keeps that momentum going,” said Mr Pichai.

Evolution of Android
Android has come a long way since it’s first release, Android Cupcake!
Android is now bigger and 1 billion strong! It has grown so much faster and has managed to compete against Apple’s iOS unlike any other mobile OS out there.
Let’s have a look at how Android has evolved over the years. Android’s tendency to name their OS after a sweet can be seen in this Evolution of Android Image.

So let wait for the KITKAT MOBILE :P

Engineered bacteria make fuel from sunlight

In a bid to find an substitute to fossil fuels as raw material for the chemical industry, scientists have engineered a bacteria which could help grow chemical precursors for fuels and plastics.

“Most chemical feedstocks come from petroleum and natural gas, and we need other sources,” assistant professor of chemistry at University of California, Davis and lead author on the study Shota Atsumi said.

Biological reactions are good at forming carbon-carbon bonds, using carbon dioxide as a raw material for reactions powered by sunlight,called photosynthesis, and cyanobacteria, also known as “blue-green algae,” have been doing it for more than 3 billion years, the Science Daily reported.

The challenge is to get the cyanobacteria to make significant amounts of chemicals that can be readily converted to chemical feedstocks.

With support from Japanese chemical manufacturer Asahi Kasei Corp., Atsumi’s lab at UC Davis has been working on introducing new chemical pathways into the cyanobacteria.

The researchers, working a step at a time, built up a three-step pathway that allows the cyanobacteria to convert carbon dioxide into 2,3 butanediol, a chemical that can be used to make paint, solvents, plastics and fuels.

“Because enzymes may work differently in different organisms, it is nearly impossible to predict how well the pathway will work before testing it in an experiment,” Atsumi said.

After three weeks growth, the cyanobacteria yielded 2.4 grams of 2,3 butanediol per liter of growth medium – the highest productivity yet achieved for chemicals grown by cyanobacteria and with potential for commercial development, Atsumi added.

Atsumi hopes to tune the system to increase productivity further and experiment with other products, while corporate partners explore scaling up the technology.

The US Department of Energy has set a goal of obtaining a quarter of industrial chemicals from biological processes by 2025.

The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Charge your phone in 20-30 seconds

California resident Eesha Khare made the breakthrough by creating a small super capacitor that can fit inside a cell phone battery and enable ultra-fast electricity transfer and storage, delivering a full charge in 20-30 seconds instead of several hours

Communication has evolved massively in the recent past. From landline phones to e-mails, and text messaging, the world of telecommunication has now become an absolute essential part of our lives. Today, a switched off phone is the cause of frustration and often makes people feel handicapped.

An average cellphone can take atleast 6 to 7 hours to fully get charged. But now, a breakthrough by an 18-year-old science student might enable mobile phones and other batteries to be charged within seconds.

Saratoga-resident Eesha Khare made the breakthrough by creating a small super capacitor that can fit inside a cell phone battery and enable ultra-fast electricity transfer and storage, delivering a full charge in 20-30 seconds instead of several hours.

DC Design Avanti

DC Avanti is the first Indian designed sports car by DC Design, a firm headed by Dilip Chhabria. DC Design has previously been known as a tuner of other's vehicles; this will be their first foray into producing a complete automobile. Taking its name from the Studebaker Avanti of The Adventures of Tintin comics, it was unveiled at the 2012 Auto Expo Delhi as a two-seat sports car. It will initially be equipped with a mid-mounted, Ford-sourced, 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 261 bhp, A Honda-sourced V6 version with 394 bhp is planned for future release. Transmission is a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Avanti weighs 1562 kg (3440 pounds, or mote than a Chevrolet Corvette), and features extensive use of aluminum. Its makers, who are based in Pune, claim the base model will hit 62 mph in less than seven seconds.Plans are to release the car for sale in 2013.The manufacturer plans to build 200 cars a year, hoping to raise output to 2000 cars a year in the future.
The DC Avanti is expected to be priced around INR 30 Lakhs, approximately $56,000 in US dollars.

DC Design Duster

DC Design is an Indian design firm from Mumbai which is noted for their concept cars and prototypes. The firm, founded in 1993, is headed by designer Dilip Chhabria, and under a contract with Ford Motor Company built the first Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage prototype featured at the 2004 Detroit Auto Show.

The company also builds custom special order vehicles such as a modified Porsche Cayenne coupe and a modified Rolls Royce coupe.In August 2006, the company announced a partnership with Eximstar, an ETA Group company, to build a 500,000-square-foot (46,000 m2) production facility in Dubai.The facility, scheduled to open in 2007, will produce custom luxury cars.
Here is an example of  Normal Duster and DC Duster.

How to Protect Your PC’s Hardware From Static Electricity

Whether you’re building your own computer, installing new RAM, or upgrading your PC’s components, you’ll be opening it up and touching sensitive electronics components. While doing this, you should be careful of static electricity, which can harm your computer.

You don’t have to be completely paranoid about static electricity, and there’s no need to go overboard and buy an antistatic mat. A few basic precautions are all you need.

How Static Electricity Can Damage Your PC
If you’ve ever touched something and felt a zap or rubbed a balloon against a carpet and stuck it to a wall, you’ve experienced static electricity in action.

Static electricity results from a difference in electrical charge between two surfaces. For example, if you rubbed your sock-covered feet on a carpet, your feet would scrape off electrons. The electrons give you a negative static charge, and when you touched another object — such as your doorknob — the electrons would be transferred to that object, equalizing the charge. You’d experience this as a small shock when you touched the object.
