Microsoft launches Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 tablets

Microsoft reveals new tablets

Microsoft launched the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2 at a press conference in New York on Monday. Surface general manager Panos Panay showed off the new Windows tablets and took the audience through their improved features.

The new version of the Surface Pro 2 is the same size and weight as the original model, but the hardware has been upgraded to improve the performance by 20 per cent, making it faster than 95 per cent of laptops on the market. The battery also lasts significantly longer than its predecessor's, according to Microsoft.

Panos Panay introduced the new Type Cover 2 colors for the Surface tablet. Microsoft also unveiled a docking station that includes a port for video output, three USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, an Ethernet hookup and a 3.5mm audio jack.

The kickstand built into the device is redesigned to make it easier to use on laps. In the past, it worked best on a flat surface such as a table.

The tablets are available for pre-order on Sept. 24 and for purchase in select markets on Oct. 22. They ship with Microsoft's new Windows 8.1 operating system. The Surface 2 starts at US$449, while the Surface Pro 2 starts at US$899.

Clever Gadget Transforms The Air Into Energy to charge your phone

AIRE we go: The mask harnesses wind power created by breathing and converts it into electricity

A breath of fresh air: Clever gadget transforms the air from your lungs into energy to charge your phone

• Soon going for a run won't just help your fitness levels, it’ll give your phone a boost too thanks to an ingenious new invention that uses the air from your lungs to charge it.
• The clever piece of kit, dubbed the AIRE mask, harnesses the wind power created by breathing and converts it into electricity to run anything from your iPod to your mobile.
• The electronic mask contains tiny wind turbines and the energy created is transferred through a cable to your electronic device.
• Inventor Joco Paulo Lammoglia, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said the device could be used in all situations from running to sleeping.
• He said: ‘I hope to bring the concept into production and reduce the carbon footprint.
• ‘It can be used indoors or outdoors, while you're sleeping, walking, running or even reading a book.
• ‘Besides saving energy and helping environmental preservation, it also encourages physical exercise.
• ‘Its energy is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• ‘Though many of our modern gadgets offer benefits, they tend to use a high amount of electrical energy.
• ‘Harnessing energy from human activities and transforming it into electricity is possible and is a great solution.’

The Hybrid Bike by Hasan David Dal

The Hybrid bike was born out of the idea to create a lightweight and eco friendly vehicle. Instead of designing a car or motorbike, this designer came up with futuristic e-bike. Let’s read what the designer has to say about his unique concept bike.

When I started the project, I did not know, that this will be outcome. Oh and the word project is inappropriate here, because projects are planned. Usually. Only one thing was clear: my intention was to make a vehicle with wheels. I had in my mind, that it should be light, and environmentally friendly. As the shapes continued to evolve from simple geometry, the final image became clear. A well-known bicycle type from earlier ages, in a new form. That is why called “The Hybrid”. The name lacks of fantasy maybe. It’s rather a codename. But it is an amalgamation of an old form with streamlined materials (light metal, carbon – fiber and plastic) and an engine yet to be invented. You see, I’ve never thought of a practical use of this one. Form and function are distant relatives in the case of this design, I think.

If you try to ride, you need a long neck to see what is in front of you…or sensors built at the front that work on collision detection. It does not have stands, because it has an anti-gravity field generator, which works non-stop, providing balance at all times. When the bike is stopped, it switches into standby mode, keeping the machine in vertical position, by using a minimum amount of energy.
