Photo by SMercury98 via Flickr Creative Commons The trend of China taking the lead on smart grid spending isn’t new. Zpryme showed that the country would outspend the US in this sector during 2010. However, the numbers projected by the research firm for China’s smart grid spending over the next five years will send it far out into the lead ahead of other countries investing in an intelligent grid, including the US. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Things weren’t looking good for BlackBerry in India , with threats of bans that were avoided at the last minute. We knew at the time that RIM had made ” certain proposals ” that would enable its messaging services to stay alive in India and now, about four months later, we’re learning what those proposals amount to. Basically, RIM has created a backdoor into the company’s messaging services, a “lawful access capability” that “meets the standard required by the government of India for all consumer messaging services offered in the Indian marketplace.” That’s a little disconcerting, but if you’re pinging your connects exclusively through BlackBerry Enterprise Server you can take it easy, as RIM is keeping that service locked up tight — or, at least, that’s what it wants you to believe .

“Rush Limbaugh needs to choke to death on his own fat,” deranged left-wing radio show host Mike Malloy hissed on his February 18, 2009 program. Michele Bachmann should “slit [her] wrist!” Montel Williams told his Air America radio show audience in September 2009. “We ought to rip [Dick Cheney's heart] out and kick it around and stuff it back in him,” MSNBC's Ed Schultz blustered on his February 24, 2010 radio program. Those are just three examples of left-wing hate that the mainstream media haven't denounced while accusing conservatives like Sarah Palin of engendering violence in the wake of the Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shooting. “Have you ever heard any reporter… denounce these examples?” NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell asked Fox News' Sean Hannity after watching the montage during last night's “Media Mash” segment on “Hannity.” [For the full segment, watch the video below the page break or listen to the MP3 audio here .] “Conservatives don't talk this way, yet they're attacking us for something we have nothing to do with,” Bozell concluded. Bozell later noted that the media's complaints about Sarah Palin's “target map” are specious and hypocritical. “How about this, Sean? How about the original logo of the show “Crossfire”? What did it have? It had crosshairs!” Bozell reminded Hannity.
