Google Joins Competitive ISP Arena

qzgxxzcwIn what seems to be a reaction to some data that was presented a few weeks ago, I think that Google has tired of dealing with the ISP’s of the U.S. and have decided to challenge them by going head-to-head, creating their own ISP.

Google continues to push forward with their aggressive position and option of what they think the Internet should be and what it should offer.

The push of Google in to this arena shows that it can be done and that the other ISP’s are just ISP HOG’s.

Free Fuel; 2 Gallons Daily

CR5-3 screenshot

The idea of having a world without having to buy gas for your car is outstanding; speaking solely of electric cars- the direction we’re going in now.

But what if you could make fuel out of thin air… that would spark your interest; it sparks mine.

Here’s some extracts…

The self-sustaining vehicle – why can’t there be?

green carI guess I’m a ‘dummy’… I guess I just don’t get the problem.

The argument is not so much can a car be self-sufficient, but can you really get away from a GAS fuel; I want to say yes- [to coin a phrase] yes we can.

These are some things, technologies and some people that need to sit down and talk and then create something that is absolutely amazing-  a self sufficient car. A car that requires no fuel; it just works.

The ‘Battery’ Answer for Electronic Devices – Go Nuclear

Nuclear batteries

An article was published on BBC about Nuclear Batteries the size of a dime and a MILLION time the charge of a normal battery- A million – that’s 1,000,000.

But this is not a new concept, Nuclear Batteries have been used for military and aerospace applications, but historically been much bigger. But this version is much smaller.

Replacing Textbooks with eBooks and Kindles

image When kids go back to school/college, and typically have to pay a fee for the use of textbooks, or purchase textbooks altogether. I don’t quite understand why kids are still taking textbooks to school. The school systems purchase textbooks for the kids to utilize, but the problem is that they’re doing this 6-12 times, if not more.

Textbooks are typically overpriced, typically obsolete by 2-3 years. Printing a single book by itself has got to be extremely expensive. I don’t know the exact dollar amount, but it’s got to be a couple hundred dollars, per book.

It’s no wonder why the educational systems are broke. They’re spending all their money on textbooks that are going to be outdated in five years. Spending a couple hundred dollars for single textbook over the course of one year of classes with hopes of reselling it for a fraction of the cost; this is a sad dream at best.

Free Power, not from solar and not from wind turbines…

image I really like the concept of free energy, getting off the grid and being more efficient in general.I found this video and I thought it was just so cool.

Most HOA [Home Owner Associations] have rules against wind turbines and/or solar panels because they make the other neighbors look stupid for not thinking of it first. But what if you could mount something to your house, perhaps in the top of the house, some thing that doesn’t spin in the wind and doesn’t weigh a ton…

Enter non-turbine wind alternative.

Energy Cost Calculator: power consumption in to perspective

image If you’re not keeping track of which lights are being left on and still haven’t started using florescent lights, you probably didn’t realize we’re in bad economic times. Right now saving money is a cool/hip thing to do.

It’s the smart thing to do…

But if your just the slightest bit savvy this is a good program to cure the curious cats out there who want to find out what it costs to live civil like [using electricity and water].

Get 40% better gas mileage from your car

image I found this article and thought it was so cool. I’m not going to do anything, but show the highlights.

…If you could spend $208 on a small device that fitted to your car engine, saving you up to 40 percent on your gas consumption, the earth from pollution, and which also gave your car more power, you’d think it was too good to be true, right? Well this is exactly the promise of a new invention, the Z5, devised by an Israeli teenager Zion Badash when he was only 16.
