Click on play upper left to hear Michael Oppenheimer

I think I will go with Michael Oppenheimer, a member of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change and professor at Princeton over Lorne Gunter right wing blogger.

While the election rolls on, one decision has been made:

Over the objections of the nation’s television broadcasters and other groups, Federal regulators on Tuesday set aside a disputed slice of radio spectrum for public use, hoping it will lead to low-cost, high-speed Internet access and new wireless devices.

The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 to approve the public use of the unlicensed frequencies, known as white spaces.

A coalition of powerful groups, including broadcasters, Broadway theater producers and sports franchises, hoped to derail or delay the decision. They have argued that their own transmissions — whether of television signals or from wireless microphones used in live music performances — could face interference from new devices that use the white spaces…

…In a blog post, Larry Page, Google’s co-founder and president of products, said he believed engineers and entrepreneurs would be quick to build devices to take advantage of the white spaces.

“We think that this spectrum will help put better and faster Internet connections in the hands of the public,” he wrote.

But the phone companies and cable companies will find a way to charge us more for bandwidth anyway.

More proof recently that Concerned is right and AC wrong about global warming. Thanks to fossil fuel related brown clouds the earth is actually cooler than it might otherwise be

So fill er up with some of that 60 bbl oil and enjoy life again

Is this some kind of sick joke?



No ..it is the interior of HonkerMotors Comeback car..the 2010 Camaro

Another 50 billion?

Bargain at twice the price

Plugged Into The Future


Oakland Mayor Dellums (left), S.F. Mayor Newsom (right) and San Jose Mayor Reed announced a $1 billion plan to create a network of electric-car charging stations in homes, businesses, public buildings and even streetlights by 2012.

oh ah so SF got jewed too?

These Better Place people impress me. It had better work.

7692. jexster - 11/22/2008 1:10:31 AM

7693. jexster - 11/22/2008 1:11:55 AM

OTOH while the rest of the planet is being rung out in a credit squeeze...The Bay Area and the Land Down Under should do just fine merci beaucoup

Notable moments in mouse history
1963: Bill English constructs first mouse prototype based on Douglas Engelbart’s sketches. This mouse uses two perpendicular wheels attached to analog potentiometers to track movement. The first mouse has only one button, but more are to come.

1968: Douglas Engelbart gives a 90-minute demonstration on December 9 at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco. Among other things, it showcases a refined SRI mouse with three buttons.

THE DEMO
On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1,000 computer professionals. This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.
