Is my next car..a Google Car..!?
-
Way back in September of 2006, Google.org, the philanthropic part of the Internet giant, announced that it would be investing in PHEVs.
In July 2008, Google.org’s was invested in the electric vehicle maker Aptera Motors. An engineer with Google.org’s RechargeIT green car program said that Google is interested in Aptera because its vehicles go “to the extreme of high-efficiency,” and are overall “cool,” and “modern.”
And after 8 months... The result is the Aptera 2e!
The 4,000 cars already ordered are expected to be delivered in the following eighteen months, the first of which by November 2009. Following that, around 10,000 of the cars will be produced each year – increasing to 100,000 if demand continues. The Aptera ranges in price from £18,000-£28,000 depending on whether an electric, hybrid or petrol engine is specified.
It's Amazing! I love this project..

"MA"iPhone like.. MyPhone
-
It looks like Microsoft is back in the game of Mobile phones with the new version of Windows Mobile 6.5, a big deal with LG and the support of the big manufacturers LG, HTC, Samsung. The new OS takes cues directly from the iPhone.It has “an improved touch-screen interface, making it easy to take action with a finger”.
Microsoft also unveiled its new My Phone service, which essentially lets you sync your messages, photos and videos, contacts to the online cloud syncing service, similar to Apple’s MobileMe service. Microsoft My Phone will also allow you to easily backup and restore your entire Windows Mobile device.
Microsoft hoping that My Phone over-the-air syncing service was going to be Mobile Me for WinMo. The My Phone service is based on technology from Mobicomp, a company Microsoft acquired last June.
The effort is good, but there is great competition with the announcements of other manufacturers for Android phones..Let's see!

YouTube as revenue-generating tool

Energy management helps us to be more "Green" and less "spendthrift".
Google aspires to use the power of information and technology to address the global challenges of our age: climate change, poverty and emerging disease. They was announced Google PowerMeter a prototype which will show consumers their electricity consumption in near real-time in a secure iGoogle Gadget. They think PowerMeter will offer more useful and actionable feedback than complicated monthly paper bills that provide little detail on consumption or how to save energy.

The best Super Bowl advertisements came to an end yesterday.
And the Winners are..
The ad was created by two unemployed brothers with no prior experience in advertising. They earned the chance to produce the spot through an online contest last year!

The Art to be Eco.
-
German designer, recognizes the need of a greener way to charge our electronic gear anywhere we might be. The designer has developed a green charging structure known as Sun Station. Made from materials such as concrete, teak wood and stainless steel, the Sun Station can be placed in a wide variety of places, where it can harness the sun.
Without a shadow of a doubt, renewable energy is the way to go towards a green future that is both clean and sustainable. Solar Tree is one such green option for a future filled with solar goodness that is being brought to you for the first time exclusively by Ecofriend. Designed to replace the traditional solar roof, it makes solar energy a lot more profitable and sustainable for use!

Open Source Hardware

If One Laptop Per Child will really open up all its hardware intellectual property, especially the dual mode screen, then this is a radical change for them and real game-changer for everyone looking at information and communication technologies.
Protypes of the upcoming "Sugar" NetBook for Child's ( OLPC 2.0 )
I was reading this prophetic old article from WIRED ("Open Source Everywhere"), i've been surprised by a short paragraph from Nicholas Negroponte quoted:
"One important thing about the XO-2 is that we're going to do it as an open source hardware programme. The XO-1 was really designed as if we were Apple. The XO-2 will be designed as if we were Google - we'll want people to copy it. We'll make the constituent parts available. We'll try and get it out there using the exact opposite approach that we did with the XO-1 [...] The next one will be different: everything from the dual display to the touch-sensitive, force-feedback, haptic keyboard will be available.
This is pretty much the biggest news of 2009 - I am going to email the OLPC folks confirm, but according to this article - The new OLPC XO-2 will be an open source hardware project... Just to recap what that means... the source, the schematics, the PCB files, the firmware, the CAD files, everything will be available and commercial use is OK. If it's true, this is extremely exciting, I'd love to see the best company that can make these at the lowest price / highest quality flourish.
