This is why I love Google!
They are inovative, they exude a can do attitude, and are relentless in their research
and development. This is why they have left Microsoft looking more like one of our
infamously bureaucratic ministries than a software company. Their latest product looks
amazing, and if it does what they say in the video i'm sure it would be a huge hit.
Watch out Garmin!
Porsche Product Plan to 2013 Revealed
Autocar appears to have come into Porsche's future plans. The following is a supposed outline of what the company wants to bring to market.The year 2010 sees the arrival of the Panamera V6 turbodiesel. Since this is an entry-level car (price is speculated at about £60,000) meant to be frugal, it will probably not use AWD but send power to the rear wheels.
The Volkswagen-borrowed engine could be re-engineered and updated so it can also be adapted to the next-generation Cayenne which gets a more curvaceous look like the 911 for 2010. The SUV will feature some engines from the Panamera including direct-injection V8s and a full parallel hybrid. The latter was approved last year but only joins the lineup in 2011.
By 2011 Panamera should be a well-established name and ripe for a hybrid. A similar system to the Cayenne hybrid is likely but without the AWD burden. While the US could get a V8 hybrid, Europe will probably opt for the smaller V6 alternative.
The summer of 2012 welcomes an all-new 911 which will share very little with the current car. Longer and wider, the sports coupe will also be more powerful and more fuel-efficient than ever.
The Cayenne finally gets a smaller sibling in 2013. Rumoured to be called the Roxster, this compact SUV will share Audi Q5 underpinnings and maybe engines. The same year a brand new entry-level Porsche arrives to see the Boxster/ Cayman range move more upmarket.
Having spent quite a substantial amount developing the Panamera, Porsche is keen to spread the platform around and recoup its investment. Possible strategies include creating another model as well as a two-door Cabriolet. Should the board approve we could see it in 2013 as well.
4G Soon!
We are marching slowly but surely towards fourth generation mobile telephony. This spring, Ericsson announced the installation of the first area of LTE networks in Stockholm. This name applies to the technology that will establish the specifications of future very high speed connections. The next step is now being taken with the development of USB devices to enable laptops to connect to the Swedish LTE network. That should be possible from March 2010.The South Korean company Samsung is working on the project directly with Ericsson and will supply the accessories, which are being labelled as 4G. However, in reality it might be more appropriate to describe this technology as "proto-4G". Indeed, the real next-generation mobile network is not expected to come into operation until the end of 2011.
Game of The Week: Bloons Tower Defense 4!!!
After being addicted to the first three games in this series, Ninja Kiwi have finally come out with a fourth insallement. I still remember the guys at the chalet looked like zombies as they were glued to their laptop screens like there was no tomorrow when I told them about the last version in this series.
For those of you who don't know, this is a creative tower defence game in which you use dart-throwing monkeys, and other things to stop baloons from reaching the end of the path. You can also gradually upgrade your weapons to keep up with the ever-increasing number of baloons trying to get through. Be warned, this game is VERY addictive!

Laptops are quickly becoming the de facto computing tool, but due to their portable designs, they're not always the best when it comes to ergonomics. That's where the Logitech Notebook Kit ($100) steps in. Including a compact wireless keyboard with number pad, a pivoting stand to help raise the screen to eye-level, and a comfortable wireless laser mouse, the Kit is an all-in-one solution for laptop users.
