Apple patents a system that stores wind energy as heat

Wind turbines operate on a simple: the stronger the wind blows, the more power you get, so when the air is too still can complicate things. To combat this little problem, Apple has registered a patent for a system that stores excess energy when the wind is strong and uses it when it is weak.
There are similar models that store extra energy in batteries, but the idea of ​​the apple is something different. Apple system makes use of rotating turbines to generate heat in a liquid by means of friction, then handles a heat exchanger transferring heat to a second liquid until it produces steam drives a steam turbine. When winds are strong the first liquid is heated more than necessary to evaporate the latter. Then, when the winds are calm, the stored heat can be used to generate steam without having to resort to direct action of the turbine.
Why Apple is working on a system of this kind is something we do not know as it moves away from its usual products, but since the company uses alternative energy in their data centers is likely to be signed up to use that infrastructure. We currently do not expect to see any MacBook with a small wind turbine mounted on top.

A group of thieves had the idea of using the New Year celebrations in Paris as cover for shoplifting from Apple. Estimated to be one of the biggest thefts in history sector.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, in turn corroborated by Reuters, the thieves entered the Apple flagship store in Paris shortly after it closed. Because it is located behind the Opera House and in a fairly busy area, no one thought to do that.

Individuals were very well organized and escaped in a truck, van located outside the store. Before fleeing the scene, wounding an employee of the company.
Apple has said it is still evaluating the theft to determine the exact figure, maybe I could be even higher than we have mentioned. Meanwhile, police in Paris tries to access all possible camera area to have a solid lead on the assailants.

The young phablets market is going through its best. Almost every week we see a new device that falls into the category and appears to be very promising. This time again we have news of the Samsung Galaxy Note II, although it is not something you call too much attention.
The known phablet of Samsung, which as you know has a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 5.5-inch screen, will be receiving two new colors soon. This is not official, but mere speculation that is likely to end up being true. It seems that soon the Galaxy Note II will be sold in red and brown, although these variants only be available in the Korean market.
There was mention of a Red Notice II occurred when the first leaks of the phone, but this time it seems more real.

Samsung is entering uncharted territory to introduce to the market its new vacuum robotics , the Smart Clean Corner Tango. This vacuum cleaner offers great performance and ability to clean corners that few vacuums possess. It is also the first model that has a projection brush allows you to reach corners and sides of the house difficult to access, and does so with minimal effort.
We do not know the price of the Smart Corner Tango Clean but hopefully will be announced very soon. No doubt that this will serve to make small post-party cleaning you have in your house while you rest peacefully.
We do not have many details of its technology and features yet, but coming from Samsung certainly is a great vacuum. Perhaps we can learn more about it soon when you start the CES 2013.

Looks like things are about to become more colorful for the iPhone. Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets, says the new generation of iPhone will be available in more colors and more sizes in the iPhone 5. To get an idea about this, we can look at the picture above where you see the different colors that are available in the latest version of the iPod Touch.
White says that in addition to the classic black and white colors, the iPhone 5S will also be available in blue, yellow, pink and gray. The analyst said that the future iPhone will be offered for sale around the middle of this year, but which undoubtedly striking here is something else: it is expected that the device is sold in multiple sizes, which was already suggested earlier in December by another analyst, Peter Misek of Jefferies, who also spoke about new colors and nickname "iPhone 5S" to the new generation.
Remember that in most cases these analysts do not end up being right, so we still can not get excited.
What do you think about an iPhone version that is available in multiple colors and various screen sizes? Sounds pretty good.

Have leaked official images of the new smartphones from Sony, Xperia Z called "Yuga" and Xperia ZL "Odin", two devices of which we have spoken above. The images appeared on the official website of the company and indicate that the Japanese giant may launch its new smartphones soon.
Besides the photos, no additional information, but we have a lot to read if we turn to the rumors, which as we know say that both devices will have a quad-core Snapdragon processor at 1.5GHz, an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB of RAM and a powerful 13-megapixel camera.
The main differences between the two devices is the size of the body (although it is said that the 5-inch screens are the same) and the position of the camera front. For clarity, the Xperia ZL is what we see on the right, and the Xperia Z is on the left.
We hope to learn a bit more about them next week during CES 2013.

Is it too early for Apple is testing with a new iPhone and also includes a new version of iOS? Perhaps many THINK so, but Apple has always done this kind of testing even several months before their devices go on sale. There is no doubt that Apple has plans to launch new versions of its smartphone and its popular OS, but so far there was no indication that they were experimenting with them.
It seems that Apple is testing the technology on a device that has been called "iPhone 6.1" also runs iOS 7, or at least an early version of the future operating system. Children of the blog The Next Web learned of this while reviewing their logs, which was where they saw the device, which by the way was responding to a campus of Apple IP.
Unfortunately we do not have on hand are specific information about your hardware or software , for which for now we'll have to keep waiting.
Remember that in 2o10 a prototype iPhone 4 was lost a few months before the phone went on sale, so we are sure that Apple is already testing with a new model.
