New material for Solar Sysem

For the sake of reducing the pollution when producing electricity by fossil fuel or nuclear power plant, a lot of specialists have been researching in the solar power. The major problem they have to conquer is the efficiency of generating power. The cost is too expensive to generate electricity comparing to the other kinds of methods.

Recently an elite team at Ohio State University has an new discovery:

Whereas other materials only catch a small range of light frequencies, and therefore only a small fraction of the potential energy, the new invention is capable of absorbing all the energy contained in sunlight. According to team leader, Prof. Malcolm Chisolm, “There are other such hybrids out there, but the advantage of our material is that we can cover the entire range of the solar spectrum.”

Acer Aspire One

I promise my friend to reinstall the OS system because of some failure made by him. It isn't bootable anymore.
I don't have an external CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive now, so can't use the bootable CD to install the system. What I have now is a USB stick, with some tools inside, it's a nightmare since then.

After several boots by USB stick, the Aspire One was broken...
Pushed the power button, the power LED is on, but the screen only showed me a black screen, there is no response....

It's a serious issue by Acer and really scared me.

Fortunately I found an article by Macles, the problem was fixed within 2 minutes.

Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery

The AA1 has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, making it possible to flash the BIOS even if the system doesn't boot anymore. It's only meant for emergencies and may void your warranty, so use at your own risk.

Follow every step carefully!

First format an USB stick with FAT.

Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD, that's important. Do not remove the USB stick.

Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently.

The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.

If for some reason you made a mistake during the procedure and it doesn't reboot by itself wait 5 minutes before turning it off, just to be safe that it isn't still flashing the BIOS.

ASUS plans to ship two screens notebook

It's really special, I would never think of this kind of application. There are so many different variations if a notebook owns two screen.



The author introduces four type of modes.

1. Tablet mode. Snap the laptop open and flat, and the two screens work together as one giant touch screen.

2. Laptop mode. Open the virtual keyboard, which appears full-size on the bottom touch screen, and use like a regular clamshell laptop.

3. Book mode. Open an e-Book and hold it sideways like an open book. One page appears on the left screen and the next page appears on the right. Touch the corner to turn the page.

4. Two-person mode. Open it flat again like Tablet mode, but click a button to make one screen orient itself for one user and the other toward you.

Invisible cloak

Invisible cloak might come true within five years. The researchers from Purdue Universitty find out this amazing technique. I can't imagine if this technique
was used by some evildoers. Applying in personal crime is not so complicated,
we still can gather the fingerprint of the criminals, but it may be hard to
pursue them. If this technique was used by a bad ambitious country with many
people? Nothing is impossible.
