I like this part too.

"This means iStream factories can be just one fifth the size of traditional plants."

"In their never-ending quest to archive all media, from Web sites to books, Google is taking on the publishing world and scanning entire issues of magazines, ads and all."

Here's a point we forget.

"Since irrigation for agriculture and water used by power plants account for such a big chunk of the total, it is mostly improvements in efficiency and refinements in those sectors that are helping drive down the demand."

No telling how many times I danced to this one late night..a long time ago.

"The business will be selling consumers on an attachment for their iPhones they can use to pay for stuff instead of using their credit cards"

"Record both sides of any Skype video conversation, directly to your hard disk"

"After installing a browser plugin, the service will start monitoring the browsing history. Typical Web2.0 profiles like Facebook, Twitter, last.fm or YouTube can be added as well to complete the view of online activities (note that the initial setting is set to 'private', and information about visits to individual sites can also be shared with 'friends' or blocked)."

"The company commissioned a study that showed more than 80% of its user base was keen on getting mobile access, while 40% was interested in better sound quality. But the Premium offering in my opinion is interesting because it’s basically a way for users to have seamless access to their account and playlists whether they’re opening Deezer up in their browsers, start the cross-platform desktop client or listen to their favorite music on the go. It’s the type of convergence I keep wishing every online music service would offer."

The video was choppy for me..

I like the Honda Helix prototype.

That is, for what it’s worth, not the distinction Google News is making: The “(blog)” label is supposed to be attached to any news published with blogging software. At the time, I thought Google might be throwing a bone to newspaper companies that don’t like being lumped with amateur news sources. And while I’m sure the new label was not important enough to reach Schmidt’s desk, his framing of that distinction — “the infrastructure around the writer” — is an interesting one.

Here's a few of Saul's tips.

- Sometimes less is more. People will talk about you more when you don’t talk so much about yourself. The more you keep your mouth shut, the better you’re doing.

- Communicate rather than sell. Always try to connect with the consumer on more than just a business level. As Saul says, business actually begins when you stop selling.

- Ask people to spread your message. Sometimes even the biggest fans don’t know how to talk about you or how important their word of mouth is to you.

"Consider this: Few would balk if Texas quarterback Colt McCoy or Florida's Tim Tebow were rated among the top Heisman contenders - but Keenum has outplayed both against common opponents.

Keenum threw for 1,337 yards and nine touchdowns in games against Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and UTEP. McCoy passed for 662 yards and five TDs against the same trio. And Keenum passed for 434 yards and four touchdowns, with two interceptions, against Mississippi State. Tebow passed for 127 yards and no touchdowns and had two interceptions returned for touchdowns by the Bulldogs."

"Bloomberg is now considering charging Bloomberg.com users up to $1,000 a year to access certain areas of the site from next year."

I can see corporate clients budgeting for its content, but it'll tough for any consumers to bite off that kind of price tag.

My 3 year-old is pretty good at finding the games but it takes way too long to find anything else in the AppStore.
