US State Department workers have begged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to let them use Firefox. "Can you please let the staff use an alternative web browser called Firefox?" worker bee Jim Finkle asked Clinton during Friday's State Department town hall meeting. "I just moved to the State Department from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and was surprised that State doesn’t use this browser. It was approved for the entire intelligence community, so I don’t understand why State can’t use it. It’s a much safer program." - Leo Laporte

I would use Firefox if at all possible - Rob Cairns

"Google has taken the strategy to the next level. Rather than using chillers part-time, the company has eliminated them entirely in its data center near Saint-Ghislain, Belgium, which began operating in late 2008 and also features an on-site water purification facility that allows it to use water from a nearby industrial canal rather than a municipal water utility... The climate in Belgium will support free cooling almost year-round, according to Google engineers, with temperatures rising above the acceptable range for free cooling about seven days per year on average. The average temperature in Brussels during summer reaches 66 to 71 degrees, while Google maintains its data centers at temperatures above 80 degrees. So what happens if the weather gets hot? On those days, Google says it will turn off equipment as needed in Belgium and shift computing load to other data centers. This approach is made possible by the scope of the company’s global network of data centers, which provide the ability to shift an entire data center’s workload to other facilities." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

The 40-year-old engineer from Spijkenisse, Holland, is so enthusiastic about the smoking mountains that he has slept at the edge of an active crater, proposed to his wife on the slopes of a simmering cone, and reorganised his honeymoon to make sure he didn't miss an eruption. Mr Koster has even dodged machine gun-toting bandits in his quest to take beautiful pictures. - Emma

Whoa! - Kol Tregaskes

I went to the Big Island about 2 1/2 years ago hoping to see some lava. Two weeks before we got there, it stopped flowing. A month later, it started again. :/ - Kevin Pedraja

While everybody knows that major reforms are needed in the regulation of Britain’s financial system and last week’s White Paper represented a useful contribution to this debate, Mervyn King was right, if cruelly undiplomatic, when he pointed out that the main decisions on these issues would have to be taken after the next election, when another government might well be in power. In the Comment section last Thursday I explained five principles that should guide any redesign of Britain’s regulatory system.

Martin Wolf: This crisis is a moment, but may not be a defining one Is the current crisis a watershed, with market-led globalisation, financial capitalism and western domination on the one side and protectionism, regulation and Asian predominance on the other? Or will historians judge it, instead, as an event caused by fools, signifying little, - Michael Jung

Federal News Radio has a report on the redesign of Recovery.gov. They quote a section of Clay's blog post about the redesign. They also quote from Greg's post on the Sunlight Labs' email list. - Sunlight Foundation

"MemeTracker builds maps of the daily news cycle by analyzing around 900,000 news stories and blog posts per day from 1 million online sources, ranging from mass media to personal blogs." - Atul Arora from Bookmarklet

Great paper, too, and probably the shrink of the time window between the "rise" and the "fall" of a news item is a pretty accurate metric of the effect of new and social media - George Tziralis

Saturn Vue Two-Mode hybrid - click above for high res gallery We've known for a while now that the technology that was to power the Saturn Vue plug-in hybrid would outlive GM's ownership of the brand and be ported over to another brand. The two-mode hybrid powertrain from the Vue Hybrid will likely become available in another GM product sometime in 2011, but what about the PHEV version? According to a report in Reuters, the vehicle may have changed but the timeline for GM's launch of a plug-in SUV remains the same. GM Vice Chairman Tom Stephens told the news service that, "I can tell you that I won't lose one day in terms of customers being able to walk into dealerships and actually purchase a plug-in." In May, AutoblogGreen readers voted for GM to use the Chevy Equinox as a new home for the PHEV Vue's guts, but all that GM will say is that the plug-in powertrain from the Vue will make its way into one of the four brands GM has left: Chevy, Cadillac, Buick or GMC.
