“These days, it seems everything from rooftops to cell phones come equipped with solar panels. Now, huge cargo ships are the latest entities to join the solar power fray. The M/V Auriga Leader, now docked at the Port of Long Beach in California, recently unveiled an impressive array of 328 solar panels that will power the ship’s main electrical grid, making this the first ocean liner to be directly propelled by the sun’s rays” (via Inhabitat » World’s First Cargo Ship Propelled by Solar Panels)

Orange Solar Tent Concept - Orange has been working with the organizers of Glastonbury for many years now, but their latest tent concept takes the cake. I won’t get too much into the details, but get this: its made from solar material (think of a solar panel but flexible) with glides that can be moved to face the sun throughout the day. A technology called Glo-location would help festival goer’s find their tent by giving them the ability to SMS or RFID their tent, which in turn makes it GLOW! Automatic heated floors, a Touch screen central hub, and WiFi round out the impressive features. Get yoursnowin 2015. -Orange Newsroom
The coming age of internet censorship
In Internet history, 1994-2004 was the era of the pioneers. 2004-2007 was the era of the merchants. Now we’re entering the era of the bullies. Everywhere in the world, sites are going dark, arrests are increasing, more people are going to prison. The Web just celebrated its 20th birthday. Nobody used to take it seriously, but those days are gone.
