Wireless Electricity Is Near

Imagine a world where cords do not exist. Where surge protectors and extension cords are obsolete and multiple wall sockets are unnecessary.

What if your electronic devices could be powered by air?

Sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, but that world of ultra-convenience is right around the corner, according to WiTricity, a Massachusetts-based company that says it will have wireless electricity on the market within the next two years. It’s a bold statement and the first time a company has publicly announced plans to make the technology commercially available.

Seen at GOOD

About a hundred years after Tesla’s plans and demos, seems like we’re on to something.

Sad, Hairless Bear Is Sad of the Day: Leipzig Zoo vets have been unable to determine what caused Dolores (above) and all other female Spectacled Bears in captivity to suddenly go bald.

From the Daily Mail:

Some experts believe it could be due to a genetic defect though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other affliction.

The bears, which originate from South America,  normally have fluffy dark brown fur and would now be growing a thicker fur coat to keep warm during the winter.

Yes it looks sad but it’s quite interesting - suddenly I can see just how much bear is similar to… many other four legged animals.

22 Tracks rocks, I can’t get enough of this UI + curated sets.  Each genre is curated by a DJ.

A new discovery for me. Starting with the Beats section.

Go Outside from Ryan Booth:

when technology makes it so that we can long before we know if we should, I believe it will be increasingly important to make time for ourselves to step back and reflect

Od danas na plakatt-u delimo majice najaktivnijim članovima:

Društvo, danas počinje malo takmičenje u aktivnosti članova Plakatta, a najvrednije imamo nameru nagraditi sa Plakatt majicama i nalepnicama!

Jedina pravila su da ćemo majicu i tri nalepnice deliti svake nedelje počevši sa 19. oktobrom pa sve dok nam ne dosadi, a minimum naredna 3 meseca. Ime najaktivnijeg člana nedelje objavljivaćemo na blogu svakog ponedeljka, a kriterijumi aktivnosti su broj objavljenih događaja i mesta kao najvredniji, ali i broj komentara, utisaka, fotografija, videa, kao i lajkova. Ukoliko se desi da imamo više članova koji su jedne nedelje bili slično aktivni – svi će biti nagrađeni. Takođe, kako bismo dali svima šansu, svaki član može biti samo jednom nagrađen.

Hvala vam što nam pomažete da porastemo!
