Jerry Brown won the governorship of California on an aggressive clean energy platform. Photo: SF Gate Throughout the 2010 midterm election cycle — and well before — most politicians dared not even utter the word climate change. Sometime after the House passed its comprehensive energy bill and the Senate stalled, clean energy and climate got written into the media’s horse-racing narrative as being dirty words in a political context; losing messages. The GOP lumping both in with cap and trade, which they falsely blasted as a tax, probably had something to do with that. Soon, clean e… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo credit: peasap / Creative Commons U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that “civilized people ought to know how to dispose of the sewage in some other way than putting it into the drinking water.” The one-time use of water to disperse human and industrial wastes is an outmoded practice, made obsolete by new technologies and water shortages . Yet it is still common around much of the world. Water en… Read the full story on TreeHugger

November 3, 2010 No Comment
Based on our experience with relationships, we’ve learned that it takes two to tango. It also takes two to produce co-branded wares, and with ASUS already withdrawing (respectfully, of course) from the ill-fated Garmin-Asus smartphone partnership, this here is more a formality than anything else. That said, those worried that Garmin would try to loop in another handset maker in order to manufacturer yet another Garminfone that 3.4 people would consider buying can rest easy. In the company’s Q3 2010 earnings, it confirmed that it is ” winding down ” its smartphone efforts, and rather than continuing on a path to doom and destruction, it’ll be ramping up marketing efforts in the aviation and maritime sectors. As for quarterly results, the company did see net income rise to $279.5 million (up from $215.1 million a year ago), but shares fell as it issued a depressing outlook for Q4 amid weakening demand for standalone PNDs .

Early adopters typically run into weird issues when putting their first generation gadgetry to use, and owners of the new MacBook Air models are no exception. Indeed, on the day of its release Apple had to push out a software update to stop the system from locking up while in iMovie — but that wasn’t the end of the woes. Thanks to a YouTube video, we’ve seen for ourselves evidence of a display flickering in a most unappealing manner, and we’re hearing tales of other display issues, kernel errors that occur when the machines are trying to come out of sleep mode, and more. There’s not been an official response from Apple yet, we’re not sure how widespread the problems are, and we haven’t experienced these issues first hand on our devices — but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something. Promise. In the meantime, it looks like some of you might have a date with the Genius Bar. Video after the break.

November 3, 2010 No Comment
This might be the perfect vehicle for the next two years: The Hanebrink off-road electric bike. Political gridlock may well lead to road gridlock as transit and trains get cut. But this thing can get around anybody and over almost any kind of broken infrastructure with its 600 Watt brushless electric motor and its fat tires. It is the true SUV of electric bikes….
