New type of hydrogen fuel cell uses bacteria to provide variable buoyancy, allowing an autonomous ocean sensor to surface and dive with ease. Rather than harvesting electricity from microbial metabolism, the system harvests the metabolic byproducts themselves. Read: gas.
Researchers also used a very low-power timer, using between 1 and 10 milliwatts, to program the sensor to surface and dive on-demand. The bacterial gas generation was enough to power the timer. On-board sensors confirmed the cylinder’s rise and fall, according to researcher Justin Biffinger.
Google added a new feature this week that offers a 3-dimensional view of that route.
You take Benefit from this new feature than simply plug in a start point and a end point to the directions section of Google Maps.Calculate the route look for a “3D” button next to the text “Driving directions”. After pressing the new “3D” button, the map shifts into Google Earth view and begins navigating the route.
Simulation of the route can be paused at any time and users can rotate the map exploring the terrain of the surrounding area.This concept is similar to the Soarin’ Over California attraction at Disneyland’s California Adventure, a theme park ride that lifts people into the air and simulates a flight over scenic portions of California.
Google Maps helped the man in question burglarize nine suburban homes and steal $100,000 worth of jewelry and electronics.
3D simulation of the route can be paused at any time and users can rotate the map exploring the terrain of the surrounding area.
Users can view each leg of the trip by watching the highlighted section within the directions on the left side of the screen after resuming the simulated flight.
Now users can also jump to other sections of the trip by clicking on a specific section within the directions.
Google Maps recently received a bit of negative attention when criminals in Chicago used the service to satellite view to seek out expensive homes next to highways.
Safety concerns would need to be addressed if a concept like this were to ever take flight.
New York based architect is taking the term in a whole new direction with his Passing Cloud public transportation concept. He looks to challenge the way we travel. This would be public transport system would lack a pre-determined destination, instead leaving that up to fate or prevailing winds.
The Passengers enter and exit the sky-grazing “Cloud” via ladders before departure and need only sit aboard during flight.
Method of transportation that harkens back to the days when the act of traveling was more exciting and less mundane; focusing on the importance of the act and not the destination with the use of this cool traveling cloud.

The schedule is less tech-related and more competition-related. The iPad 3 won’t hit shelves until 2012 due to the lack of competition, among other factors.
Apple continues to dominate the tablet market.The next threat will likely come from Microsoft’s upcoming line of tablets sporting the Windows 8 operating system.
Accordin to my point of view the next potential threat to Apple’s tablet dominance is not until late 2012 when Windows 8-based tablets could hit the market.
Kickstarter project blessed iPad-lovers with a cool and intresting guitar like instrument to slide their iPad into and fulfill their musical dreams.Wow ! This cool instrument will start with a Starr Labs patented button-based guitar fretboard ok and the iPad will hook into the instrument via the 30 pin dock and users will then essentially have a whole band at their fingertips.
The iTar project may be around $200+ from the folks over at Starr Labs aims to create a guitar that you can plug your iPad into to start playing.
We all Know that regular guitars seem cool enough to us, but if you’re looking for something a little more…modern, we’ve got a Kickstarter project that you’ll probably want to pledge to right away.
According to my point of view the touchscreen interface of the iPad will allow users to have control of everything from drums to maracas and more.This product would offer almost limitless uses for work or for play Whether you’re a professional musician or just a hobby instrumentalist.
The company is also urging developers to create other compatible applications. The Pledge $200 to the yet unfunded (currently at $9,000 or $50,000 goal) project .
