by Spone

Lately we’ve been tinkering with deploying Android beyond the phone (using Google’s open-source Android to connect devices to each other and the web), so we thought we’d see if we could leverage the efficiency of Android on a BeagleBoard, the accessibility of wireless webcams, and the ease of a Flickr feed to a custom Google Gadget to track the ups and downs of our metered utilities. Why webcams? While there may be a few compelling (low-cost, low-impact) products out there to monitor your electric meter, there are no comparable products for reading gas or water meters. So until the really smart grid arrives, here’s a way to chart your whole utility spend on your own Google homepage.

According to the US Department of Energy (Energy Information Administration), the world consumption of energy in all of its forms (barrels of petroleum, cubic meters of natural gas, watts of hydro power, etc.) is projected to reach 678 quadrillion Btu (or 7.15 exajoules) by 2030 – a 44% increase over 2008 levels (levels for 1980 were 283 quadrillion Btu and we stand at around 500 quadrillion Btu today).

How Can I Keep Track of Gifts I'd Like? - Gifts - Lifehacker

by Rik

While the majority of your friends and relatives are probably familiar with Amazon, there is no reason to avoid websites devoted specifically to gift "registry". We've reviewed several sites over the years like Wishlistr, BoxedUp, MyGiftster. They're all convenient to use, but you'll definitely want to review them on a point by point basis to decide what the deal breaking features are for your needs. MyGiftster for example has two really handy features for potential gift givers, givers can flag a present that they want to purchase for you to indicate that someone is actively in the process of purchasing it and they can mark off when they've bought it so nobody else purchases it (both setting are invisible to you, the list holder.)

Futures of Learning

by karlcow

Photo-shopping images and circulating them on the Internet is most closely associated with “Little Fatty” (Xiao Pang), a Shanghai teenager (real name Qian Zhijun) whose photo was snapped by someone during a training at a gas station and then uploaded to the Internet in 2003. His round face with his slightly hesitant sideways glance somehow captured the imagination of a slew of photo-shoppers, and his image was soon replacing the visage of everyone from the Mona Lisa to Jackie Chan to Johnny Depp

magical thinking

by blackgoldfish

"So I started writing down the funnier moments of the day. I keep a jar on my desk, and when the kids say something particularly worthy of recording, I grab a scrap of paper (phone bill, envelope, chopstick holder.. whatever is lying around) and I quickly jot it down. " "The jar is filling up quickly, and when I'm having a below average day, I reach in and pull out a quote.. and suddenly I'm laughing and running to hug my little comedians."

Transportation panel eyes new road levies - Opinion | CharlotteObserver.com

by ERSWeb (via)

With a severe economic downturn, North Carolina's state government will contend with a big budget hole when the 2009 General Assembly convenes next year. And as motorists drive fewer miles and gas prices decline, the state's transportation revenues based on the gas tax continue to drop even as the state's population rises.

Techworld - Microsoft 'interested' in open source browser: Ballmer

by night.kame

"Why is IE still relevant and why is it worth spending money on rendering engines when there are open source ones available that can respond to changes in Web standards faster?"

"That's cheeky, but a good question, but cheeky," Ballmer said.

Indeed it is. If I was a Microsoft share holder I would want to know why Microsoft is sinking so much money into its own Web browser rendering engine when there are others available for free.

Normalement, à cet instant on arrête de lire l'article vu la puissance de l'analyse. Et pourquoi Opera dépense tant d'argent alors que Internet Explorer est gratuit ? Et pourquoi la Fondation Mozilla dépense tant d'argent alors que Safari est gratuit ? Et pourquoi Apple dépense tant d'argent alors que le tuning est gratuit ? (ha, on m'informe que le tuning n'est pas gratuit, juste le chromage).

Et d'autre part, si "s'adapter plus vite aux standards" ça veut dire implémenter des bouts d'un machin qui ne sera pas près avant 2012 (oui, je parle de HTML5, qui est parti pour être le plus gros gloubi-boulga depuis VB5 + ActiveX), et pas finir d'implémenter les standards existant ?
