MSI ECOlution in CeBIT to Showcase World’s First Anion Notebook

MSI will showcase a gamut of devices in this year’s CeBIT on March in their presentation called the ECOlution. One of the most notable announcements, however, is its showcasing of the world’s very first anion notebook.

The new device is called the MSIGreen Design” notebook. It has the ability to release a high-concentration of anions for some fierce air purification. The modern-day tech-savvy individual spends prolonged hours indoors, cooped inside their computer rooms, tap-tap-tapping on their keyboards. The prolonged usage of computers coupled with indoors’ limited air circulation could lead to stress, fatigue, and other health problems. So what do anions have to do with it? Think of it like this: anions are known as ambient air’s vitamins. It can make your body healthier, encourages blood circulation, and helps with fatigue recovery and nerve stability. And since we’re all inclined to carry our notebooks anywhere with us, this means we’re carrying an anion mill wherever we go. It’ll be great to see how the presentation in CeBIT goes, until then, stay tuned.

First African satellite launched

Filed under: ,

In a landmark launch that will supposedly “contribute to bridging the digital divide within Africa and between Africa and the rest of the world,” the continent’s first satellite successfully made it into orbit aboard a French-made rocket last night. The so-called RASCOM-QAF1 — named after the Regional African Satellite Communication Organization which is funding the venture — lifted off from the European space base in Kourou, French Guiana stowed inside an Ariane 5, the sixth such launch this year and 36th overall of that particular model, manufactured by Paris-based Arianespace. The new 3.2-tonne (7,055-pound) satellite is set to serve the large African rural market neglected by traditional cellphone carriers, and will allegedly save hundred of millions of dollars a year currently being paid to foreign operators.

Anti-projectile net could protect soldiers

Filed under:

We’ve seen a wide array of devices that tip off the good guys to approaching enemies, hunt down IEDs, and send back live video of opposing camps, but a new patent application lays out plans to construct a specialized net that could actually detonate incoming grenades or rockets before they strike their intended target(s). More specifically, the app calls for a “protection system featuring a flexible packaged net” that could be attached to a military vehicle, which could then be deployed if onboard sensors pick up “incoming threats” such as an RPG. Another perk would be the relatively low cost of manufacturing and the ease of moving from one tank to another, but as these things always go, there’s no telling when (or if) we’ll see this technology in action.

The Rocket Phone goes for pizzaz, not eloquence

Filed under:

Although we’ve seen mobiles shaped like cars and geometric figures, what better to have in your pocket to yap on than, well, a rocket? This sensationally bizarre handset is far from sleek, but it’s sure to fend off citizens nearby when you whip this thing out in public. Apparently, this thing sports USB connectivity, a T-Flash slot, built-in media player, color display, a two-megapixel camera, and a chrome-covered nosecone / rocket boosters. Don’t bother asking about the price, you’re better off checking this one out from afar.
