What would a colony on Mars look like? This article goes into detail on what a colony would use in order to survive. Mars is cold and dry, but there a plenty of resources that could be used to build a colony on. For example, astronauts could get oxygen from Mars by pulling feedstock out of the thin carbon atmosphere to create oxygen and get water from the dirt under their boots. With Mars plentiful carbon dioxide levels and water would make it easy to grow crops and food on the planet.

Powering the red planet would be a more complicated process, says the officials at NASA. They say more efficient fuel cells may be the way to go. When a larger human society begins to thrive on Mars, geothermal power is also a possibility. Since it would be expensive to send expensive metals and minerals back to Earth, they would most only send information back by the means of intellectual property. There are several projects of starting a colony on Mars, which I've written about multiple times.

Samsung's 55-inch KN55S9C OLED TV

Samsung introduced its new 55-inch, curved television for $9000, which is about $6000 less cheaper than the similar model the company LG released early this year. One of the unique features of this system is called "Multiview," where two people could watch different shows on the television at the same time. The person would have to wear the special 3-D glasses in order to be able to hear what they are watching. This new television gives viewers a "captivating and vibrant picture that envelops viewers in spectacular color and beauty." Reviews of this new television have been very positive and some say it is the best television currently on the market.
