This device created by NEC to try and bridge the communication barrier, so far it only works with Japanese and English. Apparently it works quite well, so here’s hoping for more languages.

Google is going into the ISP business, and testing a 1Gbps internet service using fibre networks to a lucky 50, 000 too 500,000 few. Google is hoping to provide an internet that is able to keep up with Google’s imagination I take it. So Google is pretty much saying to the other ISPs, “this is how its done!” I like Google and I hope they give all current ISPs a run for their money, if they can just get rid of that download cap I’d give them the thumbs up.

That is right 100GHz, compared to the 3 or 4GHz speeds we achieve today that new speed is a miracle. It’s based on replacing the common Silicon material we use today with Graphene and Carbon which allows electrons to travel faster.

This is Jaguar’s answer to the times, XJ, an all electric vehicle that is purely electric and has a little 3 cylinder motor in-case you run out of energy and recharges the battery when in use. The top speed is 112Mph and is said to offer 600 mile range (wow).

A new study from Ohio State University shows that 15% of the galaxy could have solar systems just like ours (or close to it). That is a good chance that there are other life forms like ourselves just sitting out there typing about how weird it is that they haven’t anyone as crazy as them yet…

I’ve always had my eye on this movie but I still have not seen it yet, but something caught my eye in the land of YouTUBE.  They had put out videos of the making and how they captured the actors in their avatars.  More after the break.

That’s right boys and girls, this awesome Renault Fluence EV is going for under $20,00 before government tax rebates with the company Better Place backing you up. Charge stations are being built in Tokyo as we speak and other reports of Hawaii and San Fransisco getting the same (in 2012), I hope there’s room for Toronto or Ontario on that list. Last I remember Shai Agassi did visit Ontario and that July 1st government rebate next year sounds like good timing.
