Line Lights – “A Technological Breakthrough in Lighting”

LineLights

Christmas lights are a must for the holiday season. We see homes, businesses, churches, and just about everywhere else all decked out. NeonTrim has designed the next generation of Christmas lights with their cool “ultra-thin” LineLights. These flexible lights bring out all new possibilities when designing your Christmas display.

LineLights aren’t only flexible and colorful they use a low wattage neon like core keeping it cool to the touch and economical on the electrical bill. It emits a spectacular 360-degree colorful lighted spectrum creating a solid lit rope that can be used to create any shape with any design. It can be plugged in to a standard AC current or run from a portable 9V battery when using the 9V inverter kit included. These lights are a safer choice than the lights we have grown up with, and affordable to any budget. There are an alarming number of fires that happen every year started by Christmas tree lights, a safer alternative was definitely needed.  

Strings of lights are always being tossed out due to one bulb being lost or burnt out now with LineLights that is a problem of the past. The continuous light display created by this lighting technology makes it impossible to lose the entire string because of one light. You can purchase these lights in any of the following colors; Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Deep Blue, White, Lime Green, or Purple. They come in 10, 20, or 30 foot strings, and can be used together to create even longer displays. These are a great idea for the decorative season.

XO-1 : The greenest umpc in town

 

     Also known as the $100 laptop or children’s machine, the XO-1 created by the One Laptop Per Child Association and manufactured by the Taiwanese computer company, Quanta Computer, is an inexpensive yet economical and top of the line laptop designed to be distributed to children in developing nations around the world. This unit would provide the kids access to knowledge all over the world through the internet, and would let them express themselves, explore the world and expand their minds.

      Why is it called the greenest laptop on earth? That is a great question. This laptop simply is very economical and ecological. It doesn’t contain mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium and  brominated fire retardant. the design is rugged, it uses flash drive as it’s memory and doesn’t use a hard drive. It is an ultra low powered device, meaning it can save 4x in battery life compared to the ordinary laptop we use at home. There’s more! It’s battery decomposes into  fertilizer with processing!

    

 You won’t find it in shops anytime soon, but here’s a quick guide for the specs of this awesome mother earth – friendly buddy:

Processor : depends, but mostly it uses the GEODE technology of AMD

1 gig RAM

internal LD cardslot

Built in stereo speakers and mic

WiFi enabled

3 USB ports

ultra low powered pc

     Hope that the developer would develop such  a computer available to the public so anyone can purchase this phenomenal buddy. =)

To keep the design as a low powered device, the XO-1 left all the motor moving parts of the PC such as the hard disk,  cd rom/dvd drive etc.

     Technology seems to be aware of the health of mother earth, a good change that we are alarmed by mother earth’s plead to save and preserve her resources.
