How a Giant Solar Tower Could Power the Future

A new energy concept called a solar tower could generate enough electricity for 200,000 homes. Looking like a giant smokestack, it would release no noxious fumes ? just sun-heated air. Demonstrated more than 20 years ago, the basic design calls for solar collectors to warm the air near Earth’s surface and then channel it up the tall central tower.

On a sunny day, the air at the top of the tower would be 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), whereas the air in the greenhouse could reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). As this hot air escapes up the tower at…

Power your MacBook Air with the solar energy

A new solar panel kit for the MacBook Air will both charge and power the laptop at the same time. The smallest 19-watt, which takes 14 hours to recharge the laptop, will sell for $500; the 8-hour, 29-watt model is $600 and the 5-hour, 58-watt model is $1,000.

That doesn’t sound like a big deal when you picture your green, conscientious self sitting outside this summer on a patch of grass, or at a picnic table, with your solar panel spread out beside you and passersby inquiring about your…

US Airways says they’re not liable and refuses to do anything!

Live in Bucks County and have used PHL and USairways for years. Yes Philly has to be one of the worst airports in the world for delays and misadventures. Tip: After being chased innumerable times and having my wife receive a ticket for waiting on…

Voodoo floats 13.3-inch Envy 133 into the Air

Oh my. First your slicing cake with the MacBook Air, then you’re looking to steal its market share. Lenovo, you can’t afford to be smug either. Voodoo’s $2,099 Envy 133 isn’t a gaming rig. It is a 13.3-inch ultra-portable with LED-backlit display, 1,280 x 800 resolution, HDMI, hard disk or SSD option, instant-on Voodoo IOS mode that let’s you surf

the prices people are (apparently willing) to pay for these things make the mind boggle. To me it's a case of severely diminishing returns beyond $700 in the notebook market (for my needs).*eSATA powered by the USB……

Russia’s ‘Cans of Whup Ass’

This looks similar to the work I say produced from a place where I used to work in San Jose. The narration is from a voice over artist, probably out of LA. You can hear him pausing at the wrong points before certain acronyms, an obvious sign that…
