A Spinach-Powered Laptop?
06/29/2004 04:05 AMRoland Piquepaille
writes
"In "Could
laptops run on spinach?," Nature reports that researchers from the
MIT have made solar cells powered by spinach proteins. These prototype
solar cells which transform light into 'green' energy could be used
one day to coat and power your laptop. There is still work to be done
before becoming a commercial product. Right now, the prototype
delivers current for only three weeks. And they are not very
efficient, converting only 12% of the light they absorb into
electricity. However, these spinach-powered solar cells are better for
our environment than silicon solar cells. And according to Science
News Online, in "Protein
Power: Solar cell produces electricity from spinach and bacterial
proteins," they also have the potential to be self-repairing.
You'll find more
excerpts on my blog." Anyone else think this sounds
ridiculously over-simplified? Thinking about how much energy would be
needed to run a laptop would suggest that spinach farming would have
to become mighty popular, and you may need to coat your house in
spinach if you wanted to actually use it to power a computer.

backpack, allowing him to recharge all his gadgets -- and there are a
lot; couple PDAs, phone, GPS, iPod, laptop -- by plugging in the
single protruding cord. Sure, anybody could do it with a power strip
and some electrical tape, but Michiel's done a pretty nice job of it
-- the glowing, integrated USB hub is a nice touch.
Perhaps version 2 will have a solar option, as well. Perhaps I'll
stop saying "Perhaps," like an ass.

Australian Air-Powered Engine
Australian Air-Powered Engine
08/30/2004 06:26 AM
An Australian man has invented
a vehicle powered by compressed air, although it's not the world's
first, despite his claims (I've seen other prototypes before).
However, the best part of Angelo Di Pietro's design is that it tosses
almost all of the moving parts traditionally associated with engines,
instead leaving traditional pistons-in-cylinder designs for a rotary
(don't know about its Wankelness, but there you go).
The test vehicle has reached 31MPH, too, so we're not talking a
little joke vehicle, although they didn't mention how long a tank
would power the little cart. I did notice that Di Pietro's
company, EngineAir, also designs roots blowers. Perhaps we'll soon see
the world's first forced induction compressed air engine? (Thanks,
Christopher!)

Motorbike runs on hydrogen power: These look
extremely cool. Apparently dead quiet too.
[...] the motorcycle's fuel cell develops the equivalent of eight
horsepower, good for speeds up to 50 miles an hour. The cycle has a
range of about 100 miles on a tank of fuel. Currently, a hydrogen
fill-up would cost about $3, says the cycle's project director, Andy
Eggleston.
The fuel cell itself can be pulled out and carried around like a small
suitcase. The company says it foresees one day being able to use the
same fuel cell for different applications, such as a boat.
With fewer moving parts than in a conventional motorcycle, the
hydrogen-powered motorcycle gains simplicity and quiet. The rider
hears little more than the sound of tires spinning over the road or
trail.
I wondered whether I should call this a "motorcycle," but at 8
h.p., I figured it was just a bike with...a...motor. Wait a

Winer and Evan
Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often
the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact
by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:
"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to
FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even
test this s---?"
I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post)
about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the
error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked
version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error
message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded
from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.
That's right, people who use a pirated version of
FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me
when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my
time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email
I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager
would write.
I've written
about piracy befor
e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do
have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked
versions of my work: don't ask for support. I
support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected -
dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a
pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

06/05/2005 11:47 PMHappy Friday:
Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled
devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may
make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and
charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.
"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between
two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication
between those devices," says Shaked.
Check out the time required to pull this off:
They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair,
they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium
IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not
just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

“N

dangerous enough that one affluent Kansas City community has decided
that it is best to have police spy on teens during high school
basketball games. Oh it gets better, apparently a carload of teens is
enough for a Lenexa cop to follow you! So the parents should be up in
arms right? Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them

despite this almost police-state like mentality against drinking,

03/11/2003 01:22 AMSlashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?
Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best.
Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little
better than this:
The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and
implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and
Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty
simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that
change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every
now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_]
Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and
looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look
there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has
not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok,
not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and
people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain
guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation.
Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version.
Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I
did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby
versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I
don't have a clue there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just
pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the
major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.
