Bumpy ride ahead for US diplomats UK criticised in cables Pakistan has dismissed fears expressed in US diplomatic cables, released by whistle-blower website Wikileaks, that its nuclear material could fall into the hands of terrorists. High Commissioner to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hasan said the material had a “foolproof control and command system”. The cables warn Pakistan is rapidly building its nuclear stockpile despite the country’s growing instability. There is also scepticism about whether Pakistan could cut links to militants. Separately, Interpol has issued a notice asking for information on the…

Photo: Bhaktivedanta Manor It’s cow bliss: the dairy in Hertfordshire, run by the Hare Krishnas. There are only 44 of them but life is sweet: on this farm all the cows have names, they are hand-milked whilst listening to Sanskrit music and they feed on grass all year. Calling it a ” Hilton for Krishna Cows “, the new farm is built on the site of George Harrison’s old mansion in the countryside. It is a state-of-the-art “sustainable sanctuary for cattle where animals and nature are given the highest respect.”… Read the full story on TreeHugger

December 1, 2010 No Comment
Seems like LG really has a thing for those quantum dot LEDs . After hooking up with Nanosys earlier this year, the Korean giant is now stretching out another of its tentacles — LG Display , to be specific — for a partnership with a competing QLED designer in QD Vision . What’s being promised by this joint venture falls right in line with your generic pipe dream — better color accuracy than OLEDs , up to twice the power efficiency at a given color purity, and a cheap and straightforward manufacturing process. In fact, because QLEDs do not require the same glass substrate as most current display technologies, they offer unmatched flexibility ( ol

ASUS is still holding back some of the details on this one, but what it has revealed about its new U36 ultraportable is certainly enough to get us interested. Weighing in at just over three pounds, the laptop is said to pack your choice of a Core i3 or i5 processors, along with NVIDIA Optimus graphics, and a four-cell battery that promises ten hours of battery life — all of which comes wrapped in a 0.75-inch magnesium shell that’s apparently available in your choice of black or silver. Unfortunately, all other details, including the screen size (though 13.3-inch seems likely), remain a bit of a mystery, as does the pricing and launch details.

December 1, 2010 No Comment
Admit it, Google Editions wasn’t exactly your highest priority item among the things promised for a 2010 launch , but, according to Mountain View’s Scott Dougall, the e-bookstore from the world’s favorite search company will indeed make its debut before December’s through. It’s premised as a web-centric, buy-anywhere, read-anywhere platform, one that eschews the proprietary hardware and software model currently championed by the likes of Amazon for a more ubiquitous and accessible one (a humble web browser is all you’ll need, which should make Tim Berners-Lee beam with pride ). Small websites of all creeds, whether they be independent bookstores or book reviewers, will be encouraged to participate by linking their users to Google Editions of whatever scriptures they’re discussing — with an unannounced revenue sharing model keeping them interested. Retail pricing won’t differ, we’re told, from what Amazon and Barnes & Noble currently charge, which begs the question, what’s the downside to Editions ?
