Salt water for lamp designed to serve people without electricity. A startup team calls their work a product. They also call it a social movement. Many people in the over-7,000 islands in the Philippines lack access to electricity .The startup would like to make a difference. Their main ingredient is salt. Their product is a lamp that takes two tablespoons of salt and a glass of water in order to work. This is from the Sustainable Alternative Lighting, or SALt Corp. Their lamp could be an alternative to kerosene/battery powered lamps and candles as a main source of lighting. The lamp "uses the science behind the Galvanic cell, the basis for battery-making," they said, in changing electrolytes to a saline solution—an approach that is nontoxic, and avoids the tragic incidents of fires that are caused by candles and tipped-over lamps. For people living along coastlines, even running up the cost of salt would not be a problem. Aisa Mijeno is co-founder and CEO, She is a faculty member of engineering at De La Salle University.

Annoying tech jargon to remove from your vocabulary. We’ve all had to work with annoying colleagues—the foghorn who won’t stop talking, the slacker who palms off his work on others, or the kleptomaniac who never returns your stapler. You learn to live with their little quirks. But there’s one type of co-worker who—for my money—beats them all in the irritating stakes: the jargonaut. Jargonauts don’t contact you, they “reach out;” they never agree with you, but their “vision and goals are aligned with yours;” they don’t do something, they “action the key deliverables.”
I’m not alone in finding them and their corporate gobbledygook hard to listen to: A recent survey found that 79% of employees don’t like working with people who use jargon. So, if you’re guilty of overusing any of these tech terms, it might be time to invest in a thesaurus. 1. You probably recognize this word from Earth science class. Jargonauts might think the term is a useful way to describe something with a ton of interconnected, moving parts. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 2015 Technology Outlook | Deloitte US | Technology, Media and Telecommunications.
CES 2015 Preview: Wearable Tech to Help Keep New Year's Resolutions | Julio Fernandez. As 2014 came to an end, millions of those counting down the clock celebrated and proclaimed their resolutions for a healthier 2015. For the past five years, I have made that same promise to myself and have managed to become a little healthier each year. This year I want to take advantage of health and fitness trackers to help me reach and maintain new goals like never before.
Whether you are an Olympic athlete or an average Julio, everyone can benefit from wearable tech. Jan 6-9, I will be attending International CES 2015 put together by the Consumer Electronics Association. This year there will be a lot of focus on fitness, technology and well-being with hundreds of exhibitors in the "health and wellness" and "fitness and technology" sections including Under Armour apparel, Fitbit, Wahoo Fitness, and Withings. One event that should prove interesting is by fashion designer and former Project Runway contestant Nick Verreos. What Would You Like Me To Cover?

ThinkPad 8 comfortably at home in the Tablet 2 Bluetooth Keyboard Every once in a while something happens that we didn’t plan for and it turns out to be a positive. I like to refer to this as a “happy accident”. Bob Ross, host of the popular public television series "The Joy of Painting," was also a fan of this phenomenon. He was the master of turning a seemingly misguided slip of the brush into positives like a picturesque knot-hole on a gnarly old oak tree. The end result was usually more interesting than what he had intended.
