Last night, Disney XD announced a reboot of the classic cartoon DuckTales and social media (which mainly comprises of 80s and 90s kids) is in a frenzy about it. As 90s kids, we have a great sense of pride in having watched best cartoons like DuckTales, Swat Kats, Flintstones and more; while silently cringing every time we see present-day kids watch pathetic excuses for cartoons. <\/p>
Those were the days when cartoons and kids films were perhaps made with the presumption that 90s kids are the last generation with common sense. We've grown up and we now look back fondly at memes of these cartoons on social media and whenever a reboot is announced like this, we go crazy, literally. So here's a look at a few much anticipated reboots that are up for release soon.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481188854663","data":"
DuckTales:<\/b><\/p>
The adventures of Huey, Dewey and Louie and their rich Uncle Scrooge in DuckBurg captivated us to the point of us dreaming about being in their world.

Entrepreneur and Visionary Elon Musk first proposed the idea of Hyperloop Technology and then made it open source, to see if various companies and startups can use the design and build his idea into a reality. One such company, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, has now submitted a proposal to build a test track between the cities of Mumbai and Pune. The Chairman, Bibop Gabirele Gresta, has formally submitted a request with the Minister of Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari. Here are some interesting facts about the Hyperloop technology.<\/p>
1) It is cheaper than the cost required to build a bullet train<\/b><\/p>
While the initial infrastructure to make this technology a reality is expensive, the costs to set up and maintain the Hyperloop are much lower than the cost it takes to build and maintain a bullet train. <\/p>

2) Making the design Open Source Gives an opportunity to startups.<\/b><\/p>
Musk clearly hasn't forgotten where he came from, and by making the design open source, not only does Musk encourage various startups, but he also gets to focus on his SpaceX program and building Tesla Motors. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481105911633","data":"5847e21f63a31"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481102789752","data":"
3) Hyperloop's design requires a long low pressure tube.<\/b><\/p>
The design of the Hyperloop is such that, in layman's terms, the tube is suspended just mere inches off the walls, that is to say, it floats in the space inside the tube. A very futuristic design.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481103045005","data":"5847e1f08fa94"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481103047177","data":"
4) Startups in various countries are already planning routes.<\/b><\/p>
Since the tech was made Open Source, many companies in the United States and Europe have taken it upon themselves to build a test route as soon as possible. There are routes being planned in Poland by the company Hyper Poland, and another routes being planned between major European cities. <\/b><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481103233460","data":"5847e0642e317"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481103235413","data":"
5) Hyperloop will be completely self sustainable.<\/b><\/p>
The technology that powers the compressor needed to run the Hyperloop tubes will be solar powered, with the tubes lined with Solar Panels and energy storage capacitors so that it doesn't loose efficiency or power even under cloudy conditions. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481103421224","data":"5847e0862f6de"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481103431478","data":"
6) Hyperloop's design requires it to travel only in a straight line. <\/b><\/p>

7) The tech requires pods to be spaced 5 miles apart.<\/b><\/p>
While there are emergency brakes for each pod, the design requires the pods to be spaced 5 miles apart from each other, with one pod leaving every 30 seconds, and the space between the tube and the pod being small enough to stop pods easily in case of an emergency.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1481103920124","data":"5847e293dd0ef"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481103923046","data":"
8) The Hyperloop pods will be designed using Dense Aluminium<\/b><\/p>

Extremely long queues rivalling the queue at Tirupati has become a common sight at any ATM across the country, thanks to demonitization. As of last week, the daily withdrawal limit is Rs. 2000 and that has lead to a massive shortage of liquid cash among all citizens. But our beloved students, who are experts in the stereotypical Indian Jugaad to solve problems, have figured out several quirky and funny life hacks to get cash without having to bother going to an ATM.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481010826409","data":"
Meet Srikar Aditya, an MBA student from the city. Like every other student, he has a swanky smartphone loaded with apps and he uses his phone to make app based transactions. \u201cI make a lot of app based transactions and most of the time, I go to a bakery owned by a friend of mine. He gets a lot of cash so I just transfer him money in the app and I take how much ever I want,\u201d says Aditya.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481010832543","data":"
While this seems like a normal simple life hack, Srinath, another B-school student has another life hack which takes some managerial and team management skills. \u201cWhenever we have to celebrate a friend\u2019s birthday or whenever a bunch of us go out, I take the responsibility of making the cake\/treats\/gift purchases or to book tickets and I just take Rs. 100 and Rs. 50 from everyone. I never run out of cash this way,\u201d beams Srinath.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481010830137","data":"
These can be expected but what Mekaeel Shaikh did is quirkier than anything we\u2019ve heard of. \u201cI know that beggars in the city have a lot of change with them. I found a beggar at a medical shop and I took the change from him and made the payment for him using my card. He regularly exchanges money at that particular shop. So I just paid the shop using my card, they gave him Rs. 100 notes and I conveniently ended up with a lot of change,\u201d explains Mekaeel.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1481010892081","data":"
So regardless of what the situation is, Hyderabadi students have proven yet again any problem can be solved using the Indian Jugaad method.<\/p>"}]
