Tech: Question: Will Google Mirror be compatible with Google Docs?

  • We’ve been looking at very unusual materials for the mirrors both for the reflective surface as well as the substrate that the mirror is mounted on.
  • Google green energy czar Bill Weihl • On Google’s plan to bring low-cost solar power to the world. Google’s working on solar energy very hardcore right now – and has some great ideas, such as gas turbines that run on solar energy instead of natural gas. Personally, we’re just wondering why ShortFormBlog doesn’t have its own green energy czar. • source

Tech: New reason to use a Pre instead of an iPhone: Sprint goes unlimited

  • For $69.99, you can get unlimited EVERYTHING. As many iPhone fans know, the main argument against using an iPhone is the carrier – AT&T’s plans are not only expensive, but they’re spotty and often arbitrarily leave iPhone users out of the loop. Sprint, which now has a killer phone of its own in the Palm Pre (and soon, the Palm Pixi), plans to offer an unlimited plan (Any Mobile, Anytime) which is cheaper than most of AT&T’s iphone plans, AND offers more bang for your buck. Now if only Palm can stop screwing up the marketing of their phones. source

Tech, U.S.: Barack Obama sez you should watch your back on Facebook

  • Well, let me give you some very practical tips. First of all, I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook, because in the YouTube age, whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life.
  • President Barack Obama • Discussing the danger of posting your entire personal life on Facebook – because, as everyone with half a brain knows, that stuff comes back to haunt you like a child you had with a filmmaker you were working with. Or a bunch of AIM messages with a congressional page. Or a lewd bathroom encounter in a Minneapolis airport. Or a stash of money hidden in a freezer. We could go on, but you get the idea. • source

Culture, Tech: Google’s new Monopoly City Streets monopolizes awesome

Monopoly City Streets
  • And people thought the McDonald’s game was good. Hasbro and Google have decided to team up and turn Monopoly into a game that remains true to the nature of the original, but with an all-too-real twist: The properties you’re monopolizing are real, and the board is based on Google Maps AND massively multiplayer. This idea is just too brilliant for Hasbro to have come up with on their own. We’re guessing Google had the idea, THEN suggested it to Hasbro. It launches Wednesday, just in time for our Catstravaganza.source
