Πριν λίγο καιρό ανακοινώθηκε η πρόθεση της κυβέρνησης να κόψει τα βαρέα ένσημα από το σύνολο σχεδόν των επαγγελματικών κλάδων μαζί και στο εμπόριο.

NASA has since announced plans to build their own space elevator, with cable-based space launching expected to be 100 times cheaper than rocket exploration.

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has a unique vision for the future of electric automobiles. Carlos Tavares, Nissan’s VP for product planning and development is betting that people will buy cars, but lease batteries. The thinking behind this is that battery technology and storage capacity will inevitable get better over time, and owners will need to upgrade batteries accordingly. Makes sense - much better to get a new battery than a whole new car. Nissan’s recently ...

The University of Portsmouth in the UK has begun embedding RFID tags on bikes registered in their WASP (Wireless Asset Security Protection) program. Students can park ...

IKEA undertook an interesting publicity stunt in Novosibirsk, Russia recently. The ubiquitous home furnishings company completely decked out four subway cars in IKEA gear. Seats were upholstered in colorful fabric and curtains hung from the windows. Nice (legal) guerrilla style interior design. It would be great to see more of this stuff - understated advertising that actually improves a space. More pictures here via metkere © Dan Gould for PSFK, 2008. | Permalink | Comments ...
