Video content site YouTube as well as computer company Lenovo have come together to roll out a worldwide initiative that targets 14 to 18 year-old high school students, gaining the assistance of space agencies NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in the process to roll out the YouTube Space Lab, an initiative that enables students to design a science experiment which astronauts will then perform in space. Hmmm, space monkeys pulling tricks now?

A couple of experiments will have the privileged of being performed from space as well as live-streamed on YouTube, so make sure what you have in mind is good enough to impress the panel of venerable judges who include Stephen Hawking, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne and Cirque du Soleil’s founder Guy Laliberté. Interested students are required to submit a 2-minute YouTube video describing their experiment, and when March 2012 rolls around, half a dozen finalists will head off to Washington DC in order to take part in a ZERO-G flight that simulates the experience of life in outer space.

With two winners selected from the crop, their experiments will then be conducted 250 miles above Earth.

Nokia explains the design process behind Symbian Belle

If you’ve always wondered what went through the minds of the designers at Nokia while they were designing Symbian Belle, you’re in luck. The company has recently posted up a short documentary on its official blog, describing the whole design process. Basically, the designers wanted users to spend less time looking down at their devices, and spend more time interacting with the world around them. With that in mind, they decided to make all the information in Symbian Belle just a glance away.

But seeing how most people don’t even have Symbian Belle on their phones, it’s just going to frustrate even more people learning about something they don’t have. Either way if you want to know more about Symbian Belle, check out the video documentary. What do you think? Did the designers manage to accomplish what they set out to do?

Lenovo IdeaPad U300s – A Terrific Design

Lenovo Ideapad U300s window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ appId : '139683546053659', status : true, // check login status cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session xfbml : true // parse XFBML }); }; (function() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; e.async = true; document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e); }()); Network:Ubergizmo English, French, SpanishUberphones Subscribe to RSS Ubergizmo ReviewsMobileGamingAndroidAppleComputersGadgetsConceptsPhoto/Video |  Jobs Contact About Home > Breaking > Lenovo IdeaPad U300s – A Terrific Design Lenovo IdeaPad U300s – A Terrific Design Hubert Nguyen 09/01/2011 09:00 PDT

With the Ideapad U300s, Lenovo is entering Ultrabook territory in style. “Ultrabook” is a platform for uber-light computers that Intel has been promoting recently and the U300s is part of the first generation of Ultrabooks. At 14.9mm thick, it is thinner than the Macbook Air and weights a comparable 2.91lbs. The design of the Ideapad U300s is terrific. It looks clean from any and every angle.

When closed, the edges are clean, and none of the ports look out of place. Even the backside of the Lenovo U300s looks great. When fully opened, the ultra-thin display impresses, and the Lenovo keyboard seems comfortable as it has full-size arrow keys (which I dearly miss on my Macbook Air).

I haven’t been able to try the keyboard yet, but the glass touchpad seems very interesting and comfortable as well. I wonder if the trackpad drivers and gestures commands are good. There are only two USB ports, but this is not really unheard of in this category.

There is more than meet the eye: the U300s has no air intake for cooling. Instead, it draws cool air from the “breathable keyboard”. This is an idea from Intel called Intel Advanced Cooling Technology, and Lenovo says that with it, the laptop says cool even when left on soft surface like pillows.

You can opt for a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, 4GB (max) of memory and up to 256GB of SSD storage. In terms of battery life, Lenovo expects to get 8 hours under the best conditions (a basic depletion test with screen on), but we can’t wait to try it for ourselves.

The Lenovo Ideapad U300s is a very interesting Ultrabook, and I think that Lenovo should have differentiated it more by creating a new name, instead of just adding “s”. Some people may confuse it with the Ideapad U300… As of late Lenovo has been doing well, and the U300s design is impressive. Keep it on your radar.
