Better Place is a company founded by Shai Agassi The goal of the company, from the videos, interviews and articles that I have written, in a nutshell, is to make electric cars feasible. Everyone in the word agrees that oil is at/past its peak in terms of being able to pump out the maximum from the ground. And we all agree that we need to power our cars differently. Better Place sounds amazing if we can get the infrastructure up. If we can get this infrastructure, which I am thinking may cost alot

My friends over at JKonTheRun brought to light another article regarding the limitation of the Windows Starter Edition (for Windows 7, limitation on the number of programs running at a time). I can not say I completely agree, but I understand their point. But, that depends on two things. Either I run too many programs and can do with less I am not truly a "mobile" person, or what they themselves design as mobile. Which, is very possible. I purchased my netbook (Acer Aspire One) back in

Upon reading engadget, I read about how Time Warner Cable may be dropping the DOCSIS 3.0 trials they planed to launch because they weren't able to implement the broadband pricing tears. The Tier Pricing got alot of bad PR because, frankly, it crippled people and if you did not want to be broadband crippled they forced you to pay more. As their plans stand now, you pay about $60 a month for an unlimited stream. And I am not too much against a cap at one point, although its punishing the 99% good

Reports are in that the common electrical plug for electric vehicles to recharge, I assume coming into cars in the next 2-3 yrs, has been agreed upon by almost all, if not all, car manufacturers. Engadget [http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/automakers-agree-on-common-plug-to-recharge-electric-vehicles/] This is quite a huge. Why? Because a unified system is the only way for electric cars to be feasible. In the US alone we have 3 major automakers, that as of this time still exist (Chrysler, GM, Ford

Twitter has almost become my one stop shop for news with CNNBrk (cnnbrk, how it did not get to 1mil subscribers before kutcher is another story), Techmeme (which is a sort of aggregation of tech posts). It is also my main communication platform. Outside of texting and email, Twitter has almost replaced my use of Windows Live Messenger and AIM. Twitter is now taking over for my inside knowledge about sports, specifically motorsports. About 3 weeks ago, the American Le Mans Series held their annual

Everyone knows about Youtube.com, but not that many know about Hulu.com, atleast until recently. They had an ad during the super bowl, which was bound to help, and have recently in the last couple of months have actively pushed their presence via ads on TV. Like many people when they compete with something Google, atleast my first thought would be, "Google/Youtube/etc. has too much marketshare to be affected by this new product. There are a couple of reasons that I think may help Hulu outlast

I should say that I read Mark Cuban's blog in my feed reader, and many of times, I completely agree with. Yea, he has been the NBA Owner (Dallas Mavericks), that has been the outspoken one, the one who is almost shaking it up, but many of times, especially in terms of his thoughts on technology, he is right. From my perspective, his fame came, first, from Broadcast.com, and now it is with HDNet and the Mavs. He was ahead of the curve with internet streaming at broadcast.com, and now with HD video

It may not make sense linking twitter and Bobby Flay, the popular chef that has multiple programs on the Food Network. But, understanding the way that twitter needs to be to achieve success are. The YES Network had a one on one interview between Michael Kay and Bobby Flay for the Centerstage program. And inside the interview, in a response to Kay asking about celebrities coming to his restraurant, mentioned that he did not care much for the celebrities coming in during big openings of his new restaurant

For my class, IST500, we have to write a posting atleast once a week, and I have been laking. It is not because I am lazy. I have published multiple posts here at this blog for a couple of years, with the high end being near 2-3 a day. I haven't been writing, because I haven't felt there is anything to add. To me, having a blog is a great way to get information out, but it should be something that is either good for the community or stirs some sort of conversation. And, frankly, I feel like

Formula1.com ran an interview with Codemaster's Rod Cousens about Codemasters winning the Formula1 license. Its a short interview, but from it you get the picture that they are really going to try to bring Formula1 to the mass consumer. If they are able to do this, Formula1 can be one of those top games. If they are able to mix arcade (for the "general" gamer) with the simulation (hardcore), it could be a game that will sell millions of copies. Its unfortunate that in the US, we have
