The First country powered by solar energy



A project to convert the tiny island nation of Tokelau to all solar power is nearing fruition, as workers finish the first of three major panel arrays. Once activated, the installations should provide more than 90 percent of the power used by the islands' 1,711 residents.

The three solar arrays will generate about a megawatt in total, and batteries will keep the lights on at times when Tokelau's citizens previously could not afford to run generators. They are designed to withstand the humid and windy tropical environment, and actually produce a surplus of power, meaning the population can expand without taxing the system.

The roughly nine million New Zealand dollars (around $7.3 million US) needed to plan and build the installations was taken out in loans from the New Zealand government and contributed by the U.N. Development Programme

When the installations are switched on in September, fossil fuels will only be necessary for the three cars maintained by the country

Samsung Camera


Samsung has introduced a new point-and-shoot camera called the MV900F that features a flip-up screen and the ability to zoom or capture shots by waving your hands around. It also has Wi-Fi built in so you can share from the camera directly to sites like Facebook and YouTube.

Samsung
As phone cameras continue to overtake the once-ubiquitous digital point-and-shoot, companies like Samsung are always looking for new features to differentiate their devices. The latest innovation from Samsung is a touchscreen that flips up 180 degrees for easy framing of self-portraits. It's certainly a better solution than their ill-fated DualView cameras, which had a tiny secondary screen next to the lens.
The new MV900F also allows you to control the camera by moving your hands in certain ways: in a circle to control zoom, and up and down to fire the shutter (presumably after a short countdown).
It takes 16-megapixel pictures and 1080p video using a 5x zoom lens with an F/2.5 maximum aperture, meaning it can capture quite a bit of light in darker situations.
The camera should be available in August for $350.

Budget, Midrange & Luxury Gaming PC





Budget Gaming Pc








The Good:
The Alienware X51 is a powerful gaming PC wrapped up in a form factor similar in size, but only just a bit bigger than an Xbox 360 or PS3 console. It comes with either an Intel Core i3 or Intel Core i7 processor, and a Blu-ray drive, 1TB of storage, and Nvidia Optimus technology that saves power while playing. 
HDMI connectivity means you can easily play PC games on your television set, with better graphics than you’d find on a console. Games such as the graphic-intensive Skyrim: Elder Scrolls V perform well and look great.  
The Bad:
The Alienware X51 offers up some decent specs. The basic model comes with an Intel Core i3 3.30GHz processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 video card, but if you’re already a PC tech head you may be able to customise your own gaming PC with better specs for a similar price.
Midrange Gaming Pc:








It's not cheap, but there's a lot to like about the Dell Studio XPS 435. This high-tech wonder crams in all you'll need for high-end gaming, with a range-topping Intel Core i7 processor, up to a staggering an unbelievable 24GB of DDR3 memory, and the latest choice of graphics cards. 
Luxury Gaming PC:







The Good:
The Acer Aspire G7700 Predator is a dedicated Windows Vista gaming PC with Nvidia nForce 780th SLI-capable graphic chipset and four hard drive bays (allowing RAID). Configurations include Intel Core 2 quad-core processors, up to 8GB RAM, 7.1 audio support and Blu-ray optical drive. Ships with gaming mouse and keyboard.
There are two good reasons to bolt Acer’s flagship PC to your gaming floor. Firstly, it’s probably worth more than anything else in the house. Secondly, you won’t have to worry about the Predator’s aggressive angular jaws going on a high-tech rampage when its over-clocked quad-core computer brain achieves sentience and decides to eliminate puny humankind.
The Bad:
It looks tougher than it is, so no kicking the plastic shell or flimsy swing arms when you lose a bout. While the gaming mouse and keyboard are OK, it’s always annoying have to pay for accessories you probably already own.
