Start-up Bee pledges 'affordable' British e-car

great , just what is required.

Very nice indeed . What power system will the vehicle need to be connected to if we were to do a home charge - I presume that will be possible . I am trying to understand what running costs are involved . I'd also get the Top Gear guys to give it a go as an 80 MPH car isn't bad at all. I wonder if buying a small wind turbine for the house would then solve any charging issues .

Brits not turned on by mobile internet

HSDPA

well , paid the extra £5 for it on 3 and I'm quite happy with the connection speeds. If coverage were a bit better it would be fantastic - good coverage now .

surfing HSDPA on a SE w910i :). I may upgrade to a different unlocked handset at some point.

New taskforce to discuss why more people aren't turning to digital

DAB or Freeview no signal here :(

no point in telling us how good both these systems are if we barely get the 4 TV channels here in Skelmorlie and a few hissing FM stations. while I drive my 6 mile journey to work my radio1 signal comes and goes a few times out -of- sync also because it is switching transmitters .The signal is so cr@p !! I resent paying a licence for such a service . All tuners and antennae are correctly calibrated and set adequately.

Lords debate airline liquids ban

mmm

I figure that they do it for the tourism industry.

once your liquids are disposed of you are then at the mercy of shops and air companies willing /happy to sell you drinks you wouldn't otherwise be buying for exhorbitant amounts of cash

Chip start-up could ignite Blade PCs

Title

Dillon,

the early adopters that will see a very good ROI and security advantage will be financial institutions and design companies. By using a small box connected to their blade that'll have characteristics similar to an Intellistation (superior to a laptop), in IBM's case as an example ,they'll keep the data secure and easily transportable. This would allow for the financial guru to even have a remote box at home. For the design company with designers worldwide it would allow for 24-hour productivity with 3 different engineers working on the same machine.The fact that it's a 1:1 workstation in a remote capacity makes way for endless possibilities.
