Columbia University’s Dickson Despommier says with his hi-tech solution offering fascinating design possibilities. With such a shortage of land and increased urbanisation, instead of growing crops horizontally, he proposes the Vertical Farm.Time to open your third eye and imagine that for every 10 blocks of your city, one block is a 30-storey glass skyscraper filled with the hues only found in the plant kingdom. The crisp green of lettuce on the first level, the ripe red of tomatoes and strawberries on the next, and the golden brown of wheat on the top, with the crystal blues of water running through the infrastructure. A living rainbow city block that feeds 10 000 people.
The architectural design of the building allows it to capture the sun and wind and convert it into energy, which powers some of the farm. Inside, the farm workers are dressed in laboratory-white spacesuits to protect the plants from germs. The average farm worker now holds a post-graduate chemistry degree, because the techniques to grow plants inside (without soil, sun or rain) were mostly developed by NASA in their preparations for any long-term planetary relocations.

Google Drive Cloud Storage With 5GB Free
Google Drive is a file storage and sync service by Google that was released on April 24, 2012. The service will integrate with Google Docs and will allow you to access files from anywhere and collaborate on documents with colleagues. Google Drive is an extension of Google Docs once activated, and replaces the URL docs.google.com with drive.google.com.
Google’s biggest competitor in this field is Dropbox, which currently offers 2 GB of free storage to users. One interesting feature of the service is smart tagging, which allows you to tag items stored on your drive.

Rosat Satellite May Crash The Earth
The world was gripped by the Nasa UARS satellite that fell back to Earth last Saturday and now there’s another that’s plummeting back from orbit. In late October or early November a Germany astronomy satellite called ROSAT- will plunge uncontrolled back to Earth. Experts believe that two dozen metal pieces from the bus-sized Nasa satellite fell over a 500-mile span in the Pacific Ocean. It began hitting the water southwest of Christmas Island.
The German ROSAT satellite was launched in 1990, 'died' in 1998 and weighs two and a half tonnes. The German space agency estimates that 30 pieces weighing less than two tons will survive re-entry. Debris may include sharp mirror shards. The German space agency puts the odds of somebody somewhere on Earth being hurt by its satellite at 1-in-2,000 — a slightly higher level of risk than was calculated for the Nasa satellite.Again, it seems certain that information on when or where the satellite might land will be scant.
Equipped with an 84cm mirror, it completed an X-ray survey of the sky, finding more than 150,000 objects. It followed up with targeted observations of interesting objects from galaxies, to neutron stars and even comets. It was switched off in 1999 and I calculate that it is now perhaps three weeks away from re-entry as its orbit decays, though it could survive into November.

iPhone 4S Personal Assistant Siri [Introduction Video]
Long before today’s announcement that the Siri Voice Assistant would be an integral part of iOS, Siri was a third-party app. It wasn’t as pretty, and not nearly as well integrated, but it had one big advantage that it ran on just about any iOS device.Then Apple bought Siri. It immediately became clear that Apple was making a push into voice and yet, the app stayed on the store. It lived on un-updated, but it lived on nevertheless.
Siri brings a conversational interface to the iPhone which allows you to ask it to perform tasks for you such as find a French restaurant nearby and book a table, look up movie listings, order a taxi, or look up the phone number and address of a local business.Siri is the “mother of all mashups.” The iPhone app is a conversational interface with Siri’s servers on the Web, which tied into nearly 30 different APIs at launch, with more on the way. These include Open Table, TaxiMagic, MovieTikets.com, Rotten Tomatoes, WeatherBug, Yahoo Local, Yahoo Boss, StubHub, Bing, Citysearch, Gayot, and Wolfram Alpha.

NASA Old Satellite Falling On Earth
6 tons, but officials might never be able to pinpoint exactly where a massive NASA satellite plummeted to Earth.NASA space junk scientists think that all — or nearly all — of the dead, 20-year-old satellite safely plunged into the Pacific Ocean. But if their estimates are off, by only five minutes or so, pieces could have fallen on parts of northwestern North America.
NASA space junk scientists said Saturday they believe that all - or nearly all - of the parts of their 20-year-old decommissioned satellite safely plunged into the Pacific Ocean, likely missing land. But if their estimates are off, by only five minutes or so, fiery pieces could have fallen on parts of Northwestern North America.
No injuries or damage were reported on land, which NASA officials said was a good indication the satellite went into the ocean. NASA's earlier calculations had predicted that the former climate research satellite would fall over a 500-mile swath and could include land. Officials said the 35-foot satellite fell sometime between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday and 1:09 a.m. EDT Saturday.
