Bill Gates New Machine that can turn human waste into drinking water and electricity.

For years, the Gates Foundation has been looking for a machine that could make contaminated water safe to drink. More than 2.5 billion people on earth have no reliable access to clean drinking water, so the humanitarian implications of such a machine would be immense. With the Janicki Omniprocessor, the Gates Foundation thinks it's found the best way to do it, converting sewer sludge into water, electricity, and sterile ash that can be used as fertilizer. That system allows the Janicki operator to buy the sewer sludge at cost, and fund for the operation by selling electricity back to the grid. It's an ambitious plan, but the Gates Foundation may have the resources to make it work.

Still, they have to show it works first. To that end, the foundation made a video demonstrating all the steps of the process, culminating with Bill Gates himself drinking a glass from the machine, knowing that just five minutes earlier that water was sewage.

Omniprocessor, the project was designed and built by Janicki Bioenergy, an engineering firm based north of Seattle.

Lamborghini Smartphone Dual-SIM Android Now Available Globally

Despite an uncertain economy and declining prices for mobile devices, the Italian-based company says it may be unable to meet demand.

For the consumer who wants a smartphone to make an impression, the Lamborghini nameplate can do that for a cool $6,000 (roughly Rs. 3.7 lakhs), shipping included.

Tonino Lamborghini Mobile on Monday announced the global launch of the stainless steel-and-leather handset ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.



"Luxury is not a need, but it is a way to stand out," said Bob Hatefi, chief executive at Lamborghini Mobile, a company formed by the son of famed auto designer Ferruccio Lamborghini.

"We provide technology as well as luxury. We are not after volume."

The company is not related to Lamborghini automobiles, which are now produced by a division of Volkswagen, but was created by Tonino Lamborghini, the son of the famed auto designer Ferruccio Lamborghini.

The 88 Tauri handset is offered in black, gold and steel silver and is finished with high-grade leather available in five colors. Each phone is assembled by hand and receives a unique device number.

The handset, which sells as an unlocked device accepting dual SIM cards for international travel, has a five-inch high-definition display, 20 megapixel camera and can connect to mobile networks around the world.

HP Stream Mini PC

The HP Stream Mini has a 32-GB solid state drive and a two-year subscription to 200 GB of storage on Microsoft OneDrive. It will come with a $25 gift card for the Windows Store.

The unit has Gigabit ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports, integrated 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, an SD card reader, combo audio jack for headphone and microphone and DisplayPort 1.2 and an HDMI 1.4 port. Windows 8.1 with Bing is thrown in too. 

The $180 base model has an Intel Celeron 2957U processor and 2 GB of RAM.

HP is also launching the nearly identical Pavilion Mini which doubles the RAM to 4GB, packs a Pentium 3558U processor, and swaps out the Stream Mini's 32GB M.2 SSD for a 500GB hard drive. You also get a keyboard, mouse and just about everything else the Stream Mini provides, except for the One Drive storage. This all ups the price to $319—which isn't quite as palatable.
