It would be amazing if the MTA would invest in this kind of technology and provide it to NYC. Tokyo is on it's way to an almost 100% green rail-system. The piezoelectric system combined with the Maglev trains that were installed in 2003 is making Tokyo's railways emissions free and almost electricity free. The only electricity now being used is going towards powering the magnetic rails. Looks great!

Nuclear power is relatively mastered. Due to the wonderful world of politics, if you don't already have a nuclear reactor built there is very little chance of you ever being able to harness it. Hell, even Iran knows that nuclear power is the best bet. The only problem there is the byproducts of nuclear power are nuclear weapons and Israel really doesn't want that to happen considering they'd probably be the target.
I'll believe that when we have Nuclear fusion in another 40 years.
Jeez. It seems like every week there is a new alternative energy source that scientists are trying to make. We should develop what we know for sure is going to work. A few examples would be solar, wind and hydro-electric. Once we have these energy sources mastered then we can go onto something new. Like nuclear or hydrogen power.
Open source is on it's way to the stars and beyond. More and more people are realizing how great open source applications are programs are. Firefox and Ubuntu are two great examples. Open source is like a democracy by the people, for the people. Since it's created by us it inncorperates what we want/need on a daily basis which is why it's so successful. On a cooperate level it's not going to be successful for many small/medium buisnesses because in theory it's not supposed to be a money maker. Long live and (prosper?) open source!
This looks like a very promising App. As a student, we are assigned group assignments which often involve a partner and an essay. It's always stressful to try and edit our assignments together because it involves emailing it every time we make a correction. This would completely eliminate that frustration, can't wait until this comes out!
I get called an insensitive clod all the time, but I don't go to the police saying I've been harassed. This article belongs in Idle with all the other junky news:)
I can think of a few reasons why Macs are becoming more popular (especially in this field). Like the first commenter said, has this guy used Vista?
1. More and more programs are coming Linux. Like today we have Flash.
2. Stable OS/Well built systems.
3. More people are realizing that you don't need windows to read windows files. Just format your junk to FAT instead of NTFS.
This is just brushing the surface...
I'm 50/50 on this one. Here's why.
I think it's good that AMD is venturing into new territories and trying to make a statement, but at the current time I think they need to hold whats been keeping them afloat now for years. Their servers. Now that Nehalem (Or Core i7) is released and is threatening that market AMD needs to come out with something big to keep Intel down. Once the server market is secured then I think they should go full steam ahead into the netbook market.

Nice to see that our tax dollars are going towards a good cause.
With the economy this bad I guess movies that show crime are going to be more profitable then usual.

They were the parent company of a All Media Guide, which was a media rating corporation. Here's there site: http://www.aent.com/
I think you might want to start with Potty-Training first.
Fujitsu's market share is so astronomically large.
