		<description><![CDATA[The mobile OS market is changing on a daily basis now. Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems have changed the way mobile phones work. Google's Android platform recently became the #1 smart phone OS in the US. The Android platform is now profitable according to Google's Eric Schmidt and well on its way to becoming a $10 billion business for Google. So where does Nokia fit in? Nokia has struggled to make inroads into the world's largest high end handset market- the USA. A slew of bad handsets, dated Symbian and lack of technology in Nokia's offerings have made these handsets lackluster. On the other hand, Apple and Google have been making their platforms stronger by adding better hardware, beautiful touch screens, great hardware designs and compelling app stores into their products. The latest blow to Nokia has been the resignation of Meego chief Ari Jasski apart from a slew of other departures from the exec cabins at Nokia.

Apple&#8217;s iOS and Google&#8217;s Android operating systems have changed the way mobile phones work. Google&#8217;s Android platform recently became the #1 smart phone OS in the US. The Android platform is now profitable according to Google&#8217;s Eric Schmidt and well on its way to becoming a $10 billion business for Google. So where does Nokia fit in? Nokia has struggled to make inroads into the world&#8217;s largest high end handset market- the USA. A slew of bad handsets, dated Symbian and lack of technology in Nokia&#8217;s offerings have made these handsets lackluster. On the other hand, Apple and Google have been making their platforms stronger by adding better hardware, beautiful touch screens, great hardware designs and compelling app stores into their products. The latest blow to Nokia has been the resignation of Meego chief <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/nokias-meego-chief-resigns/">Ari Jasski</a> apart from a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/nokias-anssi-vanjoki-resigns/">slew of other departures</a> from the exec cabins at Nokia.</p>
<p>This leaves Nokia scampering for cover in a market slowly being taken over by Motorola, HTC and Samsung. Why am I comparing Nokia with these &#8220;handset manufacturers&#8221;? Because Nokia is becoming just that, because Nokia is slowly becoming &#8220;another&#8221; handset manufacturer. No longer does its flagship Symbian OS please people. So much so that Nokia is contemplating a switch to Windows Phone 7 and/or Android. If this ever happens, Nokia will end up competing in a crowded space with absolutely no differentiating factor. This is what happened to Palm a couple of years ago. Palm switched from its proprietary Palm OS to Windows mobile only to be welcome into a market that did not care about branding &#8211; just the OS. Although Nokia commands a strong following in the lower end of the segment, it&#8217;s the high end segment that churns out profits. Nokia has also been less innovative compared to its peers &#8211; no tablets, a failed netbook project and its stubbornness with resistive touch screens all contribute to Nokia&#8217;s low self esteem image. Nokia is trying to get into other markets &#8211; the car market for instance with its terminal mode offering. But this is not enough to survive in this market.</p>
<p>So what could Nokia do to survive in this cut throat market? I have 5 suggestions.</p>
<p><strong>1. Move to capacitive touch screens, you don&#8217;t have to build your own touch screens.</strong></p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s AMOLED and Apple&#8217;s IPS touch screens have made customers open their eyes to brighter screens and more colorful images. Nokia is still stuck with resistive touch screens that require a stylus to operate well &#8211; even on their most high end phones. Move on, Nokia &#8211; no one wants to use a stylus. And the fact that the stylus hangs loose from the phone doesn&#8217;t help either. The technology is available for purchase &#8211; just contact Samsung or Apple. I am sure they will license the technology to you. And yes, it makes on-screen keyboards a zillion times more usable.</p>
<p><strong>2. Add better processors into your phones</strong></p>
<p>Although Nokias were capable of &#8220;multi tasking&#8221; on phones long before Apple or Google were, the processors on Nokias suck. Big time. The buzzword is &#8220;GHz&#8221; now. Talk to Qualcomm or TI &#8211; they may be able to sell you some GHz processors. You see, you may think that a 500 MHz processor will do but the customer doesn’t. The customer wants a &#8220;faster&#8221; phone although he/she will end up using the phone to listen to music, play Angry Birds and make phone calls.</p>
<p><strong>3. Stick to Symbian. That&#8217;s the only differentiator you have.</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s admit it. iOS and Android have left you spoilt for choice. With GPS becoming a standard feature and the &#8220;phone&#8221; feature becoming a &#8220;feature&#8221; no one cares if your phone can make amazing phone calls. Consumers expect phones to make calls APART from everything else. So, make the Symbian 3 better &#8211; grab a star programmer from Apple and a start project manager from Google. Move your design house to the USA. Your OS offering should start to become awesome just by doing that. If Nokia lest go of Symbian, Nokia is more or less going to be dead soon &#8211; ready to be gobbled up by HTC or even Dell.</p>
<p><strong>4. Create an app market and publicize it</strong></p>
<p>Palm had an app market place too &#8211; remember? Just that it has less than a 1000 apps. Build an app marketplace for Nokia that makes sense. The problem with Nokia&#8217;s app offering is the hardware variation. Every phone is different. Make your app store adapt to this problem. No one wants to look around to see if an app is compatible with a particular device. People want to download stuff. NOW. And yes, bribe them developers to build apps for your platform. And publicize the platform. There is no point in having an amazing app store which has no visibility.</p>
<p><strong>5. Market your phones better</strong></p>
<p>Nokia has a problem with marketing its products in the US &#8211; they don&#8217;t market their products at all! Invest some money in marketing those high end phones you make. No one will buy the phone unless you saturate all types of media with your stuff. Of course, don&#8217;t make a crappy offering or don&#8217;t partner with AT&amp;T to do your advertising. AT&amp;T sucks at advertising anyway. I don&#8217;t understand why you can spend so much on advertising in India and not spend some money on the largest market.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just hope Nokia doesn&#8217;t get taken over by some company in the next year or so. They are certainly headed that way. Innovation is the only way you can survive and you are not innovating enough, Nokia.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Riding a bike is great for the environment, but bike seats aren’t known for their comfort, especially for men. But sexual health and comfort can be improved for male bicyclists with the <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/09/no-nose-bicycle-seat-erectile-dysfunction-prostate.php">no-nose bicycle seat</a>, which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has conducted studies on and concluded that have demonstrated the effectiveness of no-nose bicycle saddles in reducing pressure in the groin and improving the sexual health of male bicycle patrol police officers. The seat is designed to move the pressure to different parts of the body, and needs to be adjusted for a rider’s height and physiology.

But not all bikes and bike seats are created equal, and for male bicyclists who go through similar problems, it actually might be best to just adjust the current seat on the bike rather than get a new one with a sleek design. Bicycle saddles only cause numbness 1) if the bike is improperly adjusted; 2) when a rider isn't fit and 3) after a very long and intense ride. Also, not all bikes have adjustable seats or additional seat posts, so its best to check first with a bike shop or doctor about the options. Nonetheless, there’s no reason to give up bike riding all together, as numbness and discomfort is solvable. Just keep in mind three things:
<ol>
	<li>Exercise is good for sexual health! Sitting in a car and cubicle every day is not a recipe for a great love life.</li>
	<li>With proper bike fiting, cycling should be numbness and pain free.</li>
	<li>Experiment with different seats--nose as well as no-nose. Everyone's physiology is different and there are myriad saddle styles to choose from. Here's a little tip, though: don't go with the saddle that feels softest to the touch, and do a reasonably-long ride on a saddle before making a decision!</li>

		<description><![CDATA[<div>In Dezhou, China, the Shandong Vicot Air Conditioning Co., Ltd. unveiled <a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-worlds-first-directly-solar-powered-air-conditioning-unit-unveiled-in-dezhou-china-103045419.html">the world's first directly solar-powered air conditioning unit</a> at a solar-powered air conditioning conference (demonstrating that conferences exist for things that yet don’t). Experts and academics present at the conference unanimously agreed that Vicot's solar-powered air conditioning unit is a great innovation in China's solar-powered technologies sector, and an extremely significant step forward for the industry's future strategy and development.
Predictions have been made that by 2060, the world will run out of traditional energy sources, meaning that humankind would not be able to keep cool in the summer heat. The goal is to have renewable energy sources make up 30 percent of all energy sources by 2020, 50 percent by 2050. This new air-conditioning system boasts an optimal 85% thermal cooling conversion efficiency, and its ability to utilize solar power is twenty-seven times that of the average water heating unit. It also allows for 24-hour continuous cooling, heating, and supply of hot water, while natural gas can be used as a supplemental energy supply.
"This solar-powered air conditioning unit is the result of three years of hard work and the pioneering research efforts of Chinese and American scientists and engineers. The product is a fine example of globally cutting-edge technology. Solar-powered air conditioning units can be widely used in low-carbon buildings, and its cost is relatively low, so in 3.5 years, the unit's initial investment can be recouped, and in 6.7, the entire investment can be recovered," remarked Shandong Vicot Air Conditioning Co., Ltd.'s president Li Wen.

Statistics show that consumption of energy by buildings and other structures in China is 27.45% of the country's overall energy consumption, so the incorporation of energy-saving measures in these structures is imminent as well as relevant and substantial. Currently, energy consumption in buildings and structures is mainly attributable to heating units (65%), water heating units (15%), electricity (14%), and kitchen appliances (6%).

The Venus Project “advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before.” This project is seeking to make natural resources a common heritage and cultural value for all of humankind and to create a resource-based economy instead of a monetary-based one. The project is based in Venus, Florida, where Phase One of this alternative vision has already taken shape with domed-shape buildings and a conference center. They also have plans in motion to develop futuristic transportation, clean energy sources, city architecture and efficient housing. The project’s plans for city systems includes Research City, a brand new city that would expound these ideals without replacing old cities and solving the problems of the old ones. The new city would come without all those problems. Research City has a circular arrangement that will be surrounded by, and incorporated into the city design, parks and lovely gardens. This city will be designed to operate with the minimum expenditure of energy using the cleanest technology available. This system facilitates efficient transportation for city residents, eliminating the need for automobiles. Images and Video of the vision after the break</div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Designer Yan Lu has created a hand-washing basin that conserves water... by putting a life at stake. The Poor Little Fish sink drains water out of fishbowl every time its used. Use too much, and the goldfish gets it. According to Yan the “Poor Little Fish basin offers an emotional way to persuade consumers to think about saving water, by making consumption tangible.” But don’t get too attached. The sink has hidden plumbing which reuses all the the water and eventually puts it back into the fishbowl. The sink is also connected to the tap, so its refilled with clean water constantly. The point of the sink isn’t to force people to consume less, but to be more mindful of water conservation and how much water we actually use on a daily basis.

<div>Designer Yan Lu has created a hand-washing basin that conserves water&#8230; by putting a life at stake. The <a href="http://technews.am/conversations/ohgizmo/poor_little_fish_sink_conserve_water_or_the_goldfish_gets_it">Poor Little Fish sink</a> drains water out of fishbowl every time its used. Use too much, and the goldfish gets it. According to Yan the “Poor Little Fish basin offers an emotional way to persuade consumers to think about saving water, by making consumption tangible.” But don’t get too attached. The sink has hidden plumbing which reuses all the the water and eventually puts it back into the fishbowl. The sink is also connected to the tap, so its refilled with clean water constantly. The point of the sink isn’t to force people to consume less, but to be more mindful of water conservation and how much water we actually use on a daily basis.</div>
<div>
<p>The<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pXuAw1bSQo"> average American uses</a> 100 gallons of water a day. Twenty-six percent of indoor domestic use goes to just flushing the toilet. Twenty two percent are used to wash clothes, and another 19 percent is used to wash ourselves. The<a href="http://www.who.int/topics/water/en/"> World Health Organization</a> states that a person needs 5.5 gallons of water per day to survive, and the average Ethiopian survives on less than that. According to<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pXuAw1bSQo"> National Geographic</a>, there are 8.8 million swimming pools in the United States and U.S. vacationers rank going to the beach or lake as their number one outdoor activity. It really doesn’t hurt to be mindful of the water and the fishes.</p>
