Norway Gets World’s First Osmotic Power Plant.

The Europeans have done it again! And this time it’s the world’s first “Osmotic Power Plant”. The system can generate power by using nothing more than sea water. Sea water and Fresh water are fed into two different chambers separated by a semi-permeable membrane. “Osmosis” occurs, causing pressure to rise on the sea water side and this pressure is sufficient to get a turbine running. Although the system only generates enough power to heat a kettle of water, scientists say that the concept could soon be used to generate equivalent energy of a decent windmill. The advantages of the system of obvious: It’s completely renewable, does not generate any greenhouse gases and does not depend on the sun or wind to generate power.

Windows 8 scheduled for 2012

Speculation galore! The rumors are that the next installment of the Windows range of Operating Systems, codenamed Windows 8, is due to be be launched somewhere in 2012. The fact that Windows 8 is planned for availability in 2012 also provides a reason for customers to upgrade to Windows 7. Users who have skipped Vista altogether will most certainly not be willing to wait another three years, and should make the jump to the latest version of Windows. The fact that the world might have already ended seems of no consequence to the Redmond company.

Windows 7 Has Shutting Down Issues On Multi-Core Machines.

It has recently come to light that the latest installment of Windows, Windows 7, has some issues with shutting down on certain computers. Certain systems using this OS and sporting multi-core CPUs failed to shut-down properly. The Redmond Company is now working on fixing the issue. A spokesperson from Microsoft had this to say: “You have a computer that is running Windows 7. When the system is under heavy load, you may encounter one or more of the following problems: the hotkey on your keyboard does not work. For example, you press the hotkey to control the brightness of your computer screen. However, the level of brightness does not change. Windows 7 stops responding when you shut down the computer or put the computer into Sleep”. This will mean that hundreds of new hardware currently on shelves may come with this problem. Microsoft has, however, released a hotfix which solves a particular instance of the problem. The problem also appears to inflict multi-processor systems.
