Amazon Echo UK review: The most exciting new gadget in years. Where digital meets nature. Unlimited Data Storage For Free? Yes, you heard it right.
With Lima you can make a self managed cloud storage at your home. So you may be thinking , I have Dropbox, Google Drive, Onedrive and many other such professional and free cloud storage services, then why Lima? The answer is simple. You are the boss here. Because you set the amount of storage.

It gives the user complete control, ensuring they’re no longer bound to a service that charges them monthly, while securing their files and information like never before. It stays home, quietly.

Fortunately, technology advances to help us and make life difficult for criminals. For the next generation mobiles you can download applications for tracking in case of theft or loss, for instance on iPhone you can use Find my iPhone, and if you have Android: Prey. Unfortunately these applications will not ensure you get your phone back, but you should install them because they provide another layer of security, making things more difficult to thieves. On bicycles locks are still being necessary, but I want to talk about a device that can be installed and provides a tracking service, but don’t say it aloud, we won’t give thieves any clues.
3D & 4D Printing. Projecto: The matchbox sized slide projector small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Solar Cells Developed That Peel-And-Stick To Virtually Anything. April 17, 2013 redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online Stanford University and the Department of Energy´s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a peel-and-stick solar cell that could one day be used to charge mobile phones and power a variety of other small devices.
Peel-and-stick, or water-assisted transfer printing (WTP), technologies were developed by the Stanford group, and have been used before for nanowire based electronics. However, the Stanford-NREL team has conducted the first successful demonstration using actual thin film solar cells, said NREL principal scientist Qi Wang.

Father creates 'energy egg' which turns electrical items off when rooms are empty. By Mark Prigg Published: 11:07 GMT, 31 July 2012 | Updated: 11:42 GMT, 31 July 2012 A despairing dad who created an energy ‘egg’ to curb his family’s extravagant electricity use has cracked America with his eco-friendly invention.
