Too much of the world lacks access to clean drinking water. Engineer Michael Pritchard did something about it — inventing the portable Lifesaver filter, which can make the most revolting water drinkable in seconds. An amazing demo from TEDGlobal 2009.
With cutting-edge nanotech, Michael Pritchard’s Lifesaver water-purification bottle could revolutionize water-delivery systems in disaster-stricken areas around the globe.
My 2 cents: Distributed rules! Think about it. Globalization, division of labor, parallel processing in computer chips, routing of data packets, and so forth. Let me call it a LifeSaver approch to delivering clean water, one bottle at a time. You can get clean, sterile drinking water when and where you want it. Way to go!
Two application developers launched Yuxt, a video bookmarking tool that allows users to add their favorite video from numerous hosting sites to their personal collections as well as search, download and share video content quickly and easily.
Yuxt is an online bookmarking tool that allows users to choose among three different options to save video.
One of the options is to type Yuxt.it/ at the beginning of a web-address of the web-page with an embedded video clip. After typing Yuxt.it/ press enter; a video will be displayed on user’s personalized page. From there it can be added to user’s permanent collection located on the right hand side by convenient drag and drop.
The exciting feature of Yuxt.it/ is that it can fetch a number of different videos from one location at once. For example, there are five videos on one page—by typing Yuxt.it/ in front of the web-address and pressing enter all five of them will be displayed on user’s personal page. The entire process takes a couple of seconds.
