For years we've had great efficiency labels for washing machines, for refrigerators, for dishwashers and more.

Required by 2013, but auto manufacturers may start using them earlier by next year.

Intel taps into new computing at Taiwan show

Intel taps into new computing at Taiwan show.

Quote:

A laptop 0.8 inches (20 mm) thick with sleek tablet computing features and smarter visual performance than anything on the market today.

This is what U.S. technology giant Intel Corp. promises its new generation of processors will be able to deliver by 2012, when they power the wares of cutting-edge devices produced by companies like Taiwan's AsusTek Computer Inc.

Dubbed "The Ultrabook" by Intel marketers, Maloney said the new generation of computing devices its processors power will be a laptop-tablet hybrid, featuring touch screens and instant log on, all without exceeding a $1,000 price tag.

The devices will be based on Intel's "Ivy Bridge," a new generation of chip made with cutting-edge 22 nanometer manufacturing technology and the revolutionary 3-D transistor the company unveiled early in May. It is slated to be on the market by 2012, Intel said.

New solar product captures up to 95 percent of light energy

New solar product captures up to 95 percent of light energy.

Quote:

Efficiency is a problem with today's solar panels; they only collect about 20 percent of available light. Now, a University of Missouri engineer has developed a flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light, and he plans to make prototypes available to consumers within the next five years.

New "ShaperProbe" tool detects ISP traffic shaping

May 25, 2011 - 7:42 AM - by lotuseclat79

New "ShaperProbe" tool detects ISP traffic shaping.

Quote:

Two researchers at Georgia Tech can tell you exactly how American ISPs shape Internet traffic, and which ones do so. Bottom line: of the five largest Internet providers in the country, the three cable companies (Comcast, Time Warner, Cox) employ shaping while the telephone companies (AT&T, Verizon) do not—though that fact is less significant for the user experience than it might first sound.

Using the M-Lab infrastructure, ShaperProbe has collected more than 1 million trial runs from 5,700 ISPs over the last two years (run your own test).
