The OLPC laptop is the future of electronics

I just watched a short clip from the one of the creative people behind the super low power XO laptop. The thing only uses 2 watts, has replaceable parts, and can be powered via solar panels or a hand crank. It also has no toxic components, costs $100, and has a color LCD screen you can read in full sunlight.

What an amazing device, this is really the future of electronics.

People are trying to make a buck off of green. Green is actually cheaper. Green isn’t about (sigh) buying more stuff.

IR ASC – infrared light against surveillance cameras

The URA / FILOART developed device promises to the citizens of a more reliable protection against security measures of the state (and other Überwachenden). IR.ASC bietet die Sicherheit vor der Sicherheit und weist somit auf die Asymmetrie der Kräfte zwischen dem Überwachenden und dem Individuum hin. IR.ASC offers the safety and security has therefore to the asymmetry of power between the individual and Überwachenden.
