A machine that makes water from thin air. Awesome!

The World Health Organization reports that 780 million people don't have access to clean water, and 3.4 million die each year due to water-borne diseases. But an Israeli company thinks it can play a part in alleviating the crisis by producing drinking water from thin air.

Water-Gen has developed an Atmospheric Water-Generation Units using its "GENius" heat exchanger to chill air and condense water vapor.

"The clean air enters our GENius heat exchanger system where it is dehumidified, the water is removed from the air and collected in a collection tank inside the unit," says co-CEO Arye Kohavi.

"From there the water is passed through an extensive water filtration system which cleans it from possible chemical and microbiological contaminations," he explains. "The clean purified water is stored in an internal water tank which is kept continuously preserved to keep it at high quality over time."

The system produces 250-800 litres (65-210 gallons) of potable water a day depending on temperature and humidity conditions and Kohavi says it uses two cents' worth of electricity to produce a litre of water.

Another product Water-Gen has developed is a portable water purification system. It's a battery-operated water filtration unit called Spring. Spring is able to filter 180 litres (48 gallons) of water, and fits into a backpack -- enabling water filtration on the go.

It is much inspiring to see some subnormal, though creative human beings coming up with such 'out-of-this-world' technologies, as they attempt to save souls. One would definitely give credit to Water-Gen for the invention of such an awesome machine which has been donated to some areas of the world that experience water shortages.

Isn't this awesome?

Samsung S5 mobile phone a super phone, is it a phone anymore by the way?

Some ten years ago, a mobile phone was something that was used for calling and sending people messages ONLY, but now the use of mobile phones has changed to a somewhat multi-media definition. It now sounds inappropriate to call phones like Samsung Galaxies, Nokia Lumias and Huawei Ascends mobile phones, as they seem to perform far much more than a normal mobile phone should.

Taking a closer look at the new Samsung Galaxy S5, yes Samsung would be right to say it is a super phone, but can we still call it a phone anyway? The Samsung Galaxy has some features that are really out of this world, well right considering that it was designed and programed by some subnormal human being.

Put it on stones, drizzle it on water...it will be alright!

Galaxy smartphones are known for going big: on screens, specs, software tricks and, of course, sales. The S5 is no exception, but the small stuff can be just as exciting as the headline features, and that’s what the S5 will need to get right if it’s to become the very best.

Using the S5 can still feel overwhelming at times, mind you. The settings menu is somewhat over-stocked with options, to the extent that they (Samsung) gave up scrolling the icons and used the search tool. All the familiar Samsung innovations are there if you want them, including last year’s motion gestures (eye tracking, touchless scrolling, etc) neatly tucked away in their own section. It’s worth noting that none of these are as useful and intuitive day-to-day as the One (M8)’s swipe- and tap-to-unlock gestures.

There’s plenty to brag about with the S5 - a glorious screen, superb camera, Multi Window apps, fingerprint scanning. If the tweaked build and cleaned-up user interface are anything to go by, Samsung is taking design - inside and out - seriously.

But can we still call that a phone? Is the question...
