"The Volkswagen Microbus is a classic - even to those of us born after its time. Arguably unlike the newly remade Beetle, this remake of a VW classic is remarkably true to the original on the outside - but on the inside it is a bio-diesel hybrid stuffed full of high tech gadgetry and eco-friendly innovations."

Super cool VW Bus making a comeback...
- Walt Ruppar
First of all, I'll cop to wanting one of these. That being said, Jason is right. This is for rich hippies (who probably aren't hippies at all). The VW microbus became the darling of the Flower Power crowd because it was cheap, easy to repair, and big. You could camp in it. Is there a car today that fits this bill?
- Chris Baskind
wow, you can buy an awful lot of pot with $129,000.

I don't know a self-respecting hippie that would prefer this over a really nice indoor greenhouse. ;-)

@Chris, Most cars today aren't as simple, but with the wealth of knowledge online, it just takes more time. The minivan/SUV can become a camper van with a few mods. They'll never take the place of the VW, but they're an updated version of the 70s panelvan conversions (hopefully without shag carpeting & a disco-ball).
- Steven Cains
Nope: there will never be anything that simple again. That's not all bad: I can't imagine a 1960s VW Minibus would satisfy *any* federal safety standard these days. You're right. A used minivan might be the closest thing.

"Introducing fit-PC2 CompuLab introduces fit-PC2 – the smallest, most power-efficient Intel Atom PC to date. fit-PC2 architecture is what sets it apart from other nettop PCs - fit-PC2 is designed around the Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz and the ultra low power Intel US15W system controller hub, rather than the Atom N270 and 945G used in other nettop-PCs, thereby reducing power consumption by more than two thirds. US15W incorporates hardware video acceleration. This allows fit-PC2 to run Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux at just 6W and to play full HD 1080p H.264 video using less than 7W."

some limitations of the fit2pc: no n wifi, only 1gb ram & is soldered, reader is not sdhc, no wol, hdmi still needs sep audio line. if it could remedy those, then it would be more awesome than i originally thought it was. still cool idea. (edited to add: forums say hdmi does not support hdcp. boy, lots of surprises in what it *can't* do. almost a parody of an 'efficient' device.)

"Scientists have rendered objects invisible to near-infrared light. Unlike previous such "cloaks", the new work does not employ metals, which introduce losses of light and result in imperfect cloaking.

Yahoo’s New Marketing Chief Elisa Steele Doesn’t Use Flickr and How This Signals That Yahoo Management Is Out of Step With Innovation - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

Scott Kuperus, Dimitar Vesselinov, Jeff and 48 other people liked this
Even worse than simply Bartz or Steele not using Flickr, a quick Flickr people search of the 12 current executives listed by Bloomberg for the company (Roy Bostock, Carol Bartz, David Filo, Jerry Yang, Blake J Jorgensen, Aristotle N Balogh, Elisa Steele, David Windley, Michael J Callahan, Venkat Panchapakesan, Hilary A Schneider, and Michael A Murray) shows that not a single one of these individuals carries any sort of significant presence on the site whatsoever. Now maybe Flickr is not the most profitable business unit at Yahoo. And maybe the $35 million or so that they bought it for is mere chump change for executives at a company like Yahoo. But Flickr nonetheless represents one of the most significant properties ever on the internet. Flickr breaks news. Flickr has some of the world’s most amazing art. Flickr represents the largest organized library of images in the world! That is something. And the fact that Yahoo executives, even in some small way, don’t really want to have anything to do with that is

I'm a big proponent of eating your own dog food. It gives you a much better perspective about what's right with it and what needs improvement. Imagine if Salesforce sales folks used Excel spreadsheets to track prospects.
- Hutch Carpenter
The thing with photos is that they are universal. Everyone has them. There is no reason why Yahoo execs ought not maintain accounts at Flickr. I think it would be good for them to not only maintain accounts there but to really delve deep into the site in order to figure out its innovation and how that might be applied to other Yahoo products and services. I think that was part of the original promise and idea when they bought Flickr in the first place.
- Thomas Hawk
Well, I'm not a flickr user, but I don't think I'm out of touch with innovation. I simply have no interesting pictures to share. My life in The Netherlands is very, very boring to others.

I cannot agree with Niche Player more. I was ever so interested in Google picking up Flickr instead of Picasa. But I wonder if Flickr would then have been less social if it had? To me, Picasa seems cold and sterile. Enjoyed reading this greatly, Thomas.
- Todd Tripp
I've got an account on Picasa. I've never been able to get into it. It is cold and sterile because it lacks the social power that is Flickr. It's not a bad place to host and store images but it misses the power of social integration significantly.

Out of step, out of step, just because everyone drinks from the same trough doesn't mean innovation has to go the same way. There are still millions of yahoo users. It's got a loyal fanbase and as a company it still has a lot of influence. Everyone, almost, uses flickr rather than picasa for example.
