It’s official the search war just turned into the Web 2.0 operating system war.
This browser is a direct maneuver to block Microsoft IE8 (and other msft moves) from cutting off Google’s ‘hooks’ in search and desktop environments. People (like me) who have been following Google since their inception know that they have infested the desktop with little ‘hooks’ into search which translated into adwords and adsense - e.g. toolbar, tracking, and other services. These little hooks provide the superior user experience in navigation...

Imagine the possibilities of harvesting waste heat and converting it into electricity. Computer processors could be the source of power for their own cooling devices and solar cells could become dramatically more efficient by leveraging energy that is not being used today. If everything goes right, nanoantennas could even replace solar cells one day, researchers believe.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory believe that plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated...

What’s believed to be the world’s first Tesla Roadster crash took place in San Francisco at the corner of Geary and Gough streets.

Originally set to debut this weekend in front of showings of The Dark Knight, the teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation, director McG's reboot of the sci-fi franchise featuring Christian Bale in the role of John Connor, has already surfaced on Youtube.
The teaser trailer is narrated by Bale, using a voice slightly less husky than the one he employs while in Batman costume. Amid quick shots of explosions and screaming humans, he solemnly declares, "This isn't the future my mother warned me about." It seems that old Skynet still has a few...

“Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,” says Greg Pal, 33, a former software executive, as he squints into the late afternoon Californian sun. “I mean, this is essentially agriculture, right? But the people I talk to – especially the ones coming out of business school – this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into.”
He means bugs. To be more precise: the genetic alteration of bugs – very, very small ones – so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchips or wheat straw, they do...

As Galactica Sitrep noted Thursday, an internet radio show, The Doctor and Mrs. Who, reported last night that up to three “Battlestar Galactica” TV movies may get made later this year. Several sources at the show confirm that those films are indeed being discussed right now.
