7 Things to Know about the Perseverance Mars Rover
We’re set to launch the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on July 30. The rover is loaded with scientific instruments and advanced technology, making it the largest, heaviest and most sophisticated vehicle ever sent to the Red Planet.
What is Perseverance’s mission and what will it do on Mars? Here are seven things to know:
1. Perseverance draws on the NASA – and scientific – spirit of overcoming challenges
Not only does it have to launch during a pandemic and land on a treacherous planet, it has to carry out its science goals:
Searching for signs of past microbial life
Mapping out the planet’s geology and climate
Collecting rock and other samples for future return to Earth
Paving the way for human exploration
We chose the name Perseverance from among the 28,000 essays submitted during the “Name the Rover” contest. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the months leading up to the launch in particular have required creative problem solving, teamwork and determination.
2. Perseverance builds on the lessons from other Mars rovers
In 1997, our first Mars rover – Sojourner – showed that a robot could rove on the Red Planet. Spirit and Opportunity, which both landed in 2004, found evidence that Mars once had water before becoming a frozen desert.
Curiosity found evidence that Mars’ Gale Crater was home to a lake billions of years ago and that there was an environment that may have sustained microbial life. Perseverance aims to answer the age-old question – are there any signs that life once existed on Mars?
3. Perseverance will land in a place with high potential to find signs of ancient life
The rover will land in Jezero Crater, a 28-mile wide basin north of the Martian equator. A space rock hit the surface long ago, creating the large hole. Between 3 and 4 billion years ago, a river flowed into a body of water in Jezero the size of Lake Tahoe.
4. Perseverance will also collect important data about Mars’ geology and climate
Mars orbiters have collected images and other data about Jezero Crater from about 200 miles above, but finding signs of past life will need much closer inspection. A rover like Perseverance can look for those signs that may be related to ancient life and analyze the context in which they were found to see if the origins were biological.
5. Perseverance is the first leg of a round trip to Mars
This is the first rover to bring a sample-gathering system to Mars that will package promising samples of rocks and other materials for future return to Earth. NASA and ESA are working on the Mars Sample Return campaign, so we can analyze the rocks and sediment with tools too large and complex to send to space.
6. Perseverance will pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet
Two packages – one that helps the rover autonomously avoid hazards during landing (TRN) and another that gathers crucial data during the trip through Mars’ atmosphere (MEDLI2) – will help future human missions land safely and with larger payloads on other worlds.
There are two instruments that will specifically help astronauts on the Red Planet. One (MEDA) will provide key information about the planet’s weather, climate and dust activity, while a technology demonstration (MOXIE) aims to extract oxygen from Mars’ mostly carbon-dioxide atmosphere.
7. You get to ride along
Perseverance and other parts of the Mars 2020 spacecraft feature 23 cameras, which is more than any other interplanetary mission in history. Raw images from the camera are set to be released on the mission website.
There are also three silicon chips with the names of nearly 11 million people who signed up to send their names to Mars.
And you can continue to follow the mission on Twitter and Facebook.

I am part of the transitional boundary between two generations. I‘m not quite a Millennial, but I do not identify as Gen Z by any means. I am old enough to vaguely remember the 90s, but not to appreciate them; I grew up on reruns of 90s shows, and watched movies from the 80s and 90s because that’s just what my parents owned when I was born.
I saw the fall of analog and the rise of digital; I grew up with a VCR (which I still own to this day), and witnessed the transition to DVD. We are currently in the middle of a new transition away from physical media entirely, and I’m not sure I like it; I want to be able to have things, not just to license a copy that can be taken away at the studio’s whims. Everything is a rights license or a subscription now, bleeding you dry so you can have access rather than ownership.
Cellphones became ubiquitous in my lifetime; when I was a kid, nobody had one, they were big and expensive, and you had to pay for each minute. If you went over your monthly allotment, you would either be charged an arm and a leg or your phone would just stop working, dropping all calls because you just don’t have any time left. Does anyone remember when they had text limits? It was the dark ages! I didn’t get a cellphone until I was in high school, and now I can’t imagine letting your kids leave the house without one.
Smartphones didn’t even exist until I was in middle school, and now they’re the default, the standard. They’ve revolutionized the way we communicate, they’ve gotta be the most influential technology of the 21st century, hands down. It peaked early. That said, smart devices are the bane of my existence because now we live in an Orwellian surveillance state where the government and private companies basically own you. It’s depressing.
I’m sure every generation goes through phases like this; what is history if not one prolonged period of change. Nothing is static, there is no long term status quo, everything keeps moving forward no matter what. The progress of time is the most predictable thing in existence, yet we are almost always blindsided by it. Like, I know 2008 was 11 years ago, but I haven’t really internalized that fact, it’s abstract, because 2008 is simultaneously yesterday and ancient history from a lifetime ago.

Apple is ready to start production of the absolutely new mid-size Retina MacBook Air
Major players of the supply chain for Apple have started components rafting to the factory where unusual laptops will be created. The new 12-inch MacBook Air will be assembled from the corresponding Retina display and Intel’s Broadwell processors.
Acer Switch 10 is another hybrid notebook with a unique unfastening tablet display
A lot of developers have been practicing the pairing of two different types of devices into hybrid one. Today we can see that Acer has reached a lot after they have created a tablet and laptop hybrid struggling to make a perfect combination of advantages taken from every type of it adding high power productivity on the final stage.
Every all-in-one desktop device has evolved from the stationary PCs, and the tablets eventually have started to resemble the notebooks' advantages in order to satisfy all the user's needs in working and studying. Separately they present two different schools, but when they are combined we can observe that the created all-in-one tablet Acer Switch 10 can do much more that a simple tablet.
Having a desire to own Aspire V Nitro or Yoga 3 Pro Hinge is an absolutely normal wish of yours, but you should also glance at the new Acer Switch, which has another construction of keyboard mounting and possibly can be of a better taste to you. The device is based on the same flexible hinging system, as the Yoga has with an old school specs compilation, where the 12-inch display with 1080p resolution comes with a simple possibility to unfasten the display for a portable use.
Acer Switch 10 will come along with the Broadwell Core M processor and 60/120Гб of internal memory and Windows OS aboard, video output micro-HDMI and micro-USB 3.0 for peripheral devices access. The pricing is still a secret, as well as the rest of the specs still unknown. The only thing for sure is that it will be available in the beginning of the next year. We'll keep you well informed about all the emerging details until the official release of the hybrid tablet.

Gaming laptops have become much more popular this year than before. Lenovo, Origin PC, Asus, Razer and especially Alienware has made a fascinating breakthrough in gaming laptops ever.

And for this purpose a special and highly technological build is embedded inside.

Dell has finally announced the availability of new Alienware 13 Gaming Laptop
At last the one we have waited for a long time has finally come or even better to say has landed Earth, as we're speaking about the new Alienware 13 Gaming Laptop. Raise your banner up in the sky to be noticed in order to have the possibility to be taken in the outer space of amazing entertainment.
Suppose there are a lot of fans, who have been waiting for this invasion, as well as the Alienware Area 51 with the most unordinary tower besides those who already wander the planet. Nonterrestrial technologies have always been of an interest for the advanced users and this time is not an exception. It is remarkably that Dell has made a decision to create a 13-inches notebook becoming the smallest in the series. It will create a sensation for sure, considering that the laptop itself and the pre-installed Windows 8.1 explicitly tease Apple.
The variety of choice among the laptops is not big with such a diagonal size, therefore we can expect Alienware to bite off a huge piece of "apple" from the other side, as you know the Alien is a predatory beast. Being a worthy opponent, nevertheless Alienware is losing the game due to the pixels shortage on the screen. But there's nothing to hide: the resolution of this alien like ally is Quad HD, which is quite enough considering the overall size of the display. This should be fine for the people who like to pay only for the power inside the device and not a penny more.
Of course Retina gets the upper hand in trivial circumstances, but this is not why people buy Alienware powerful giant able to grind all the mobs and skeptics. Just keep the children away from the fury capable to rain down on the enemies. Moreover it has become lighter and slimmer giving it additional skills to perform all kinds of moves you want it to make.
Alienware 13 Gaming Laptop is equipped with a 13-inches Anti-Glare 200-nits display with HD resolution (1366x768) in first two compilations and upgrades to IPS panel with 1920х1080 and 2560х1440 resolution respectively as top builds. Also there's a possibility to use additional Alienware Graphics booster, if you want to increase your FPS for gaming even higher. It awakes when the 4th Generation Intel Core i5 Processor acquires enough energy to launch, then the electric impulse rushes and ignites dual-link 1600 MHz RAM, whose memory capacity depends on the two options of your choice: 8GB and 16GB and lights up a customizable LED backlighting of keyboard together with the eyes of Alien logo meaning that the laptop is ready for action. But you won't frighten your enemies with the specifications only, so you have to add some efforts and mastery to overwhelm them once and for all.
And let's speak about the pricing. You can jump to the official site to examine every variant in detail, but prepare to see the first price tag at $999 and then all the others with only increasing amount: $1099, $1399 and $1599 respectively. This progression shows us that that the bigger price is the more aggressive build is chosen.

Electrolux notebook’s concept, which can be used for cooking!
Modern notebooks seem to be capable for everything. They can work instead of you, teach you, entertain you the way you wish and even more. A notebook can be a reliable buddy, a friend or an interior decoration, if you don’t feel warm to your steel machine. But this is not all, as it seems the laptop can also make you a breakfast.
Computers do much stuff to ease our life, but frying pancakes in the morning like your Mom used to do is a science fiction, but believe it or not, it is possible with this new Electrolux Mobile Kitchen laptop. This is not an ordinary portable kitchen range with an internet access function - this is a masterpiece with high-tech power inside. If you ask what will be the future, you can find an answer by looking at this device.
For the moment it is just a concept, but who knows maybe it will become a part of our life, when there will be a universal gadget convenient for work and picnic simultaneously. Dreamed up by designer Dragan Trenchevski, it has a wide use at the camping, fishing or any other place where natural cooking is required and you do not want to set a big campfire. Working outside is a dream of every single man nowadays.
Electrolux Mobile Kitchen is constructed with few secret departments inside. If you open the upper cover, you can find a sliding grater inside, an inductive burner with a changeable surface size depending on the pot size you would like to use and having the heat not wasted away. The upper cover of the device is a display, as every notebook has, but here it is a touchscreen, as the keyboard place is already occupied. So the tablet can be used for recipes search, watching cooking videos in the web, chatting with your friends or post some photos in Instagram.
Chief-cook notebook is equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, speaker and mic. Add some oil and your life will change forever. All parts of the device are heat and flame resistant and can survive the hot oil splashes. The surface is easy to clean, as well as to stain it actually, but there’s no need to worry about it. It is still unclear when somebody might become an owner of this futuristic miracle. Maybe we’ll be able to see it alive until the end of this year and meanwhile keep in mind to stir your curent culinary chef-d'oeuvre.

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Hinge uses its new swivel joint to be invincible on the battlefield
Lenovo Yoga - a battle master - changes his outfit third time already to continue the fight with ultra-thin Apple notebooks. We already saw these encounters earlier and are glad that it will become even more brutal and fierce, because the new Yoga 3 Pro has become 17% thinner and 14% lighter than before.
After few rounds were held the masters of Lenovo have found some unnecessary parts of ammo and got rid of them. Now the martial arts master has become even slighter, its weight is only 2.62 pounds (1.19kg), so it is more dexterous than ever. Another special feature of the innovation is its cylinder joint connecting the upper and lower boards completely at a full width of the notebook swiveling in range of 360 degrees. This design reminds a knight’s chain mail, which ties together both parts: keyboard and display. Such tight binding may not be destructed with an enemy sword or other known means, as the connection consists of more than 800 self-contained aluminum and steel parts along the backsides of each panel.
On the left side panel there is yellow USB2.0 port, USB 3.0, micro HDMI, headset output and an SD card slot. On the right side panel there is also USB 3.0, volume regulator, audio set output and switch on button. The keyboard is easy and soft to use and there’s a LED lighting assisting in the dark. Sound is enhanced by JBL acoustics made by Waves Audio.
As before the notebook can perform different asanas, which were available for earlier models of Lenovo Yoga. There’s also a well-known 13-inch display with a 3200x1800 pixels resolution, which is much more than Retina displays have. After the fighting technics were changed, so the speed of response has increased with the assistance of new line of Intel's Core M processors i4, i5 and i7. Taking into account the 128/256 SSD memory storage and engine type, the laptop works really quietly, fast and chilled out that the system even doesn’t need the buzzing fans inside. But also there will be available 512GB and 1TB of Hard Drive options.
Incredible power is coming from the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 840 Graphics chip and 8GB of RAM. Notwithstanding the fact that this machine can boast with huge biceps, actually it is not power-consuming and may hold your weapons still during 8 hours having a one short meal break per day only.
The Yoga 3 Pro Hinge is available now. Pricing starts from $1349 for US market and €1299 for Europe. New Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Hinge has the widest variety of changes in this series, but the traditional swivel joint method of connecting the two sides of the notebook was chosen in order to survive among the strong competitors on the market.
