Creativity @ every level

While talking to one of my friend from NYC tech startup seen, he mentioned that the biggest challenge he face today is to find right people and letting them do things @ their best. Its not raising money that's tough, its not finding projects or clients. They are relatively easy while compared to finding people and retaining them.

Other point he made in that discussion is that most creative people are not in tech, they are in media and ad's industry. This add from IBM 's mainframe team boasts just that. Its the way you communicate to thousands of people without a speech but conveying thousands of words. IBM house a pretty good team for creating interfaces, but this is class apart.

Invention of the decade - Eole Water Systems

The fastest depleting resource and the most wanted for the existence of human life on earth today is unquestionably clean water. Many parts of world is already feeling the crunch and just stretching into next possible resource to get them for existence. And in many developing nations drinking water provided is already contaminated and people use their own purification mechanisms to make it usable for household purposes. But the point is, there should be water at-least to purify it.

There are many companies providing waste water management systems, but its hard to believe they can make it 100% drinkable water because water can be maligned by various sources and there are many sources getting added daily. Water being lowest level of resource underground, when earth takes bath and wash all dirt on it, its pretty obvious that everything is getting logged into underground water. That make it even more dangerous.

Here's a company which came up with a best possible solution, not to clean the contaminated water but to make it from thin air. Yes, they are successful in it. Eole is a french company founded by Marc Parent. While he was living in Caribbean he found a way to extract water from air-conditioners for his daily usage. He put this idea to make water from moisture when he returned home. Water is collected through a heat exchanger and sent to a cleaning system which makes drinkable water.

Best part is this, its already making 62 ltrs/hr in Abu-Dhabi test site, which means 1488 ltrs/day. That's pretty amazing !! isn't it ?? And this entire system is mounted on a wind-mill which can even produce electricity. Now that's what we call True GREEN. Price is little bit high though, ball park of 600K USD, may be its still in consumption face. But someday somebody can mass produce this concept and save the world.
