"The idea is simple: Wattvision wants to give you a realtime picture of your home (or office) energy consumption. But to do this, you need a device that can tap into your power meter. That’s where the Wattvision WiFi Sensor comes in. But the good news is that you don’t need an electrician to set this up for you. If you have a digital power meter, you can very easily attach the Wattvision Sensor and you’re all set. From there it will send your data wirelessly to the web, where you can monitor it. And if you have an iPhone, Wattvision has also created an iPhone-optimized version of their site so you can watch your home energy consumption on the go." - Itachi from Bookmarklet

"Traditionally, the end of the year is a time of reflection. In good times, we congratulate ourselves on what we did right, and in bad times we brood over our mistakes. The past year has been hard on a lot of people; especially those in the technology industry. I think far too much has already been written about the mistakes that were made, so rather than rehash old complaints, I'd like to tell a story about things gone terribly right. One that has become something of a legend in the computer industry. The story of IBM's Black Team." - Itachi from Bookmarklet

"Askaro is a hyperlocal site to exchange information where it matters the most: our neighborhoods, our places or work, etc. The proposition is simple, you ask a question in a specific area by placing it on a map, hoping that people who live or know the area would give you an unbiased and helpful answer." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"...Then it becomes clear to you that these are among the most important guide posts for all entrepreneurial activity, and by extension for success in life in a more general sense: 1. Successful people don’t wait for permission They don’t wait for someone to appoint them to something important (which almost never happens anyway). They give themselves permission to go ahead, they self-appoint. - Alex Schleber from Bookmarklet

"With the release of Foursquare’s new API it’s drum up media stir once again (see Mashable’s post). Even Twitter itself realizes location-aware posts are the next step (see Twitter’s blog post titled “Location, Location, Location“). However, Foursquare will take time, more so even than twitter did." - Mitchell McKenna from Bookmarklet

"...The mistake that's so easy to make is to be a little bit higher fidelity and a little bit more convenient. Incumbents fall into this trap all the time, assuming that you'll stick with what you've got because they're sorta both. And insurgents almost always fail because as geeky insiders they think that twice the convenience is enough to persuade anyone who cares. Not going to work." - Alex Schleber from Bookmarklet

That's looks like a joke. A joke from 1993 - Matthew DeVries

"The vmPFC assesses the risk a situation poses and can help decide whether or not you’re in an emergency condition. The vmPFC may calm the amygdala to help you feel more in control, but its ability to do so may depend on how well the two regions are wired. If the signal is strong, the vmPFC may shut down the fight-or-flight response and let you make more levelheaded, rational decisions. ..."
