#infographic you can actually save upwards of 6,000 pounds--or more--simply by taking six basic steps: by washing your clothes with cold water, using low-flow shower heads, and air-drying your dishes in the dishwasher, among other things. Who knew the impact could be so large? - !lker yoldas. )°(

"The Equality and Human Rights Commission has warned that the use of airport body scanners may be unlawful. Scanners already in place at Heathrow and Manchester Airports may be breaking discrimination law as well as breaching passengers' rights to privacy, it said. The commission's chairman, Trevor Phillips, said it had "serious doubts" over the legality of their use." - M F from Bookmarklet

I wonder if there's a market for underwear that defeats these scanners - something that perhaps spells something rude back :) - Iphigenie

"I wanted to see if I could recreate the opening crawl from Star Wars with only HTML & CSS, using WebKit's support for CSS 3D transforms and CSS animations. This is what I came up with: I'm only using JavaScript to delay the start of the music; everything else is done strictly with CSS. If you have Safari 4 or the WebKit nightly on Snow Leopard, you can try it at http://www.gesteves.com/experim..." - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet

Goal - freeware and donationware (and maybe some super-inexpensive-ware) utilities for a biz environment. That can be installed and may be helpful to the network admin and many can stay for the users themselves.Here are a few that immediately come to mind. I am especially interested in programs that : 1) Might be picked up for use by the users, or 2) Will help the network admin when he works on the puter - April from Bookmarklet

"Kurzweil's firm has a relationship with Baker & Taylor, the world's largest distributor of physical and digital books. Through them, Blio will offer a library of more than 1.2 million titles across genres at launch. Not only can publishers set their own book prices, but the the cost of converting a book and hosting it on the Blio platform is completely free. Books bought through Blio can be shared among five different devices, similar to Kindle's licesing model. Baker & Taylor will also keep a digital copy of all of your books in the cloud for instant back ups. Whatever the appeal of the software, Kurzweil's demonstration was interesting for its choice of location. By doing the demo in Microsoft's booth, there was an implicit implication that this could be the e-reading platform not just for PCs, but for a whole host of Windows-based devices." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

"Ring is a vibrating alarm designed for people who hate the loud blaring sounds of a typical alarm. The charging cradle is where you set what time you want each ring to go off. The ring fits over the tip of your finger and when that opportune time arrives, it vibrates. Putting the ring back on the dock shuts off the alarm." - Müjdat Korkmaz from Bookmarklet
