It is not the plot of a science fiction film futuristic but the real world, and also more drama happened in these dates near Christmas. A woman went to an Apple Store in the British city of New Hampshire in the U.S. Northeast and there was a discharge of Tasers by a couple of policemen. The reason: after buying two iPhones tried to buy some more, but two that is the purchase limit per customer in one store per day.

The woman in question is a 44-year-old Chinese did not master English well and this is where, in part, means a situation. For one woman may not understand what he meant, or perhaps his mind could not assimilate. At the end of the day what country in the world forbid you buy a lot at a store? Only in the strange western in which we live.

At first they tried to convince the woman politely that he should leave the store with his two iPhones, but eventually ignore calling the police. The woman turned to ignore until finally a policeman drew his taser and gave a shock.

The daughter of the woman who was present tells the story: "Then the police took the phone to my mother and tried to snatch her ​​purse. My mother tried to ask them why and they just threw it to the ground '. At minute 0:16 you can see two burly policemen knocking this dangerous criminal mobile compulsive shopper.

They piezoelectric coolers, goodbye to the fans inside your computer

One of the problems is that the home computing some internal components such as the processor greatly heated to the point that if the enfrías could melt literally.
To prevent this warming has always used an invention that seems anachronistic if you compare the high technology found inside the box of a computer: the typical fans, those same casting an annoying buzz around turning your computer.

The news is that a new invention called 'SynJet' fans could change them for something more modern classics from several points of view. On the one hand there is no turning blades so that the noise emitted is negligible. On the other hand are based on piezo technology, much more 'cool' from the point of view that have geek there a piece of plastic floating around inside a modern computer. But its virtues are many and striking.

The invention in question is based on two metal plates that work very rapidly expanding and contracting each time they receive an electrical charge. As a result absorb hot air and cold air expelled in small quantities, but to repeat the process many times per second, by the cooling effect.

The size of the current prototype has dimensions similar to those of any cooling fan find a computer processor today, however is much flatter so it takes up much less space.

According tested the air is able to move this little device is the same as a small fan but uses half the electricity in the process

In the video below you can see it in operation but is all in English. At minute 2:00 you can see how to prove it on a laptop successfully, but can not see how long your computer turned on.

Although currently only a prototype fans may end up being computer thing of the past in no time by being more efficient, using less energy, using less space and, above all, without a sound!

What if you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings and you have enough money? Obviously, seize land in the field to build your own home Hobbit including all details. A Peter Archer likes two things, one of which is the architecture and everything else related to the work of JRR Tolkien, to the point where he has spent 30 years collecting objects related to Middle Earth.

You now have a place to expose them as a small museum, a home built in Pennsylvania, USA that faithfully mimics the characteristics that would have a Hobbit house in real life, a home with entrance formed by a stone path, round wooden door and a fireplace. Obviously, what has not been observed is the size that these houses would in real life since Peter is larger regulatory and twenty meter for Hobbits.

It seems that the formula for eternal youth is getting closer, if recently talked about a breakthrough in this regard related to hydras , now at the University of Michigan have discovered another technique that would potentially stop rejuvenate the cells of your body indefinitely.

The discovery in question is not related to the cells of your body directly, but with the surrounding material called extracellular matrix or ECM . Increasing the filling space around the cells that succeeded in older cells act as back to back young cells. It's that simple.

Scientists at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Michigan tested the technique on animals and the good news is that, to be successful, also found that it worked in humans and no known side effects at this time.

Specifically, proved to inject a substance that enhances the MEC in 21 volunteers octogenarians with the result that the skin becomes thickened and began to generate collagen and blood vessels spontaneously. Possibly the invention is not the fountain of youth by itself, but it seems that combining several techniques are appearing recently could start finding enough people with youthful age.

The Death Star, Death Star in English, is a fictional weapon in the Star Wars fictional universe. Fans of the series will know very well that it is a large space station capable of destroying entire planets. What has this to do with the U.S.? Let's keep reading.
The White House has a website where citizens can perform certain requests if they are very well justified. We see that someone had the great idea to request the creation of a real death star and now this proposal has already signed 25,000 people. Now the White House must decide what to do, if you really intend to create such a weapon or simply ignored the order.
It is noteworthy that not a single request and smooth, but is very well done.
Obviously, if a Death Star begins to be built, that would trigger tension around the world and many governments respond quickly, especially North Korea.
The White House has not yet given an official response.
What do you think they will say?
