Dyson's air multiplier can replace those old and noisy blade fans.





The Dyson Air Multiplier fan works very differently to conventional fans. It uses Air Multiplier technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times, producing an uninterrupted stream of smooth air. With no blades or grill, it’s safe, easy to clean and doesn’t cause unpleasant buffeting. The Air Multiplier is the first ever fan without rotating blades, instead, it uses a combination of basic physics and cutting edge aerodynamics. Air is accelerated through an annular aperture. This creates a jet of air that passes over a 16° airfoil-shaped ramp, channeling its direction. No blades means the Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan is safe and easy to clean. It also has touch-tilt, 90° oscillation and dimmer-switch power control. But not all things about this air multiplier are good. This Air Multiplier will sell at £199 through high-end retailers, making it reachable only to the high level users who really need the cooling power of the fan.

“We’re delighted to launch CryENGINE 3 and we look forward to seeing what developers achieve with our all-new technology. CryENGINE 3 isn’t just about providing our trademark highest-quality graphics and our out of the box AI and physics for the first time on consoles – it also delivers real benefits to all disciplines in games development. Programmers will create awesome new effects and gameplay; art, design and audio teams can play as they create with the fastest, entirely real-time WYSIWYP pipeline ever, materially reducing development time and risk – even producers, project managers and suits will love CryENGINE 3! Of course, our international team of more than 20 dedicated support staff are available right now to help our licensees make the most of CryENGINE 3; at their studio or at one of our support centres around the world.” added Carl Jones, Director of Business Development CryENGINE.

Integrate Google Chrome's open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer with the help of google chrome frame.

The major problem that a web developer face today while working with the latest web technologies is that he has to ensure that the site looks exactly similar on all browsers its visitors are using. While the big open source browsers such as google chrome and firefox did a pretty good job in maintaining the web standards, internet explorer seems to be lagging far behind. There are some serious differences while browsing some sites in i.e. when compared to looks and speeds of that of chrome or firefox. The fact that most of the people are still using internet explorer today and most of them just cant upgrade it, the i.e. users cannot be ignored. This causes the developers spending lots of time implementing work-arounds or limiting the functionality of their apps.
While microsoft doesnt seem to be doing anything about it, google decided to stepout and do the work for the developers. What they came out with is something really soothing for the developers and it is - the google chrome frame. With Google Chrome Frame, developers can now take advantage of the latest open web technologies, even in Internet Explorer. From a faster Javascript engine, to support for current web technologies like HTML5's offline capabilities and canvas tag, to modern CSS/Layout handling, Google Chrome Frame enables these features within IE with no additional coding or testing for different browser versions. To start using Google Chrome Frame, all developers need to do is to add this single tag:

meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1"


When Google Chrome Frame detects this tag it switches automatically to using Google Chrome's speedy WebKit-based rendering engine. It's that easy. For users, installing Google Chrome Frame will allow them to seamlessly enjoy modern web apps at blazing speeds, through the familiar interface of the version of IE that they are currently using.
To integrate chrome frame in your internet explorer, click here.
