Americans love the idea of the neatly packaged product, even when it comes to clean power — biofuels, wind and nuclear all come in modular “in-a-box” sizes. In that same vein, Helios Solar, a 2-year-old startup based in Denver, Colorado, has announced that its SunCube is now on-sale, and will be ready for installation in […]
Many moons ago I wrote about a really powerful tool called Glary Utilities that can do a boat load of stuff, one of them being analyze hard disks to see what is hogging all of your available drive space. The only problem with that tool is that it is only free for personal use. If you want to use it legally in the office to find out where your drive space is going on your company servers, you have to purchase their pro version.
My boss told me about another little tool that can do the same thing. By same thing, I mean the drive space analysis part. This tool is called TreeSize Free. Here is a description from their website:
Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system, can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report.
Here is a screen shot from their website as well:
What tools do you use for disk space analysis/cleanup? Is it free? Is it payware? Let us know in the comments.

HP has applied for trademark protection on two devices, one which is almost certainly not a smartphone and one that very well could be.
The HP Zeen sounds pretty tablet-like, but the HP Airlife sounds much more like a smartphone handset. Intriguingly these two devices are meant to work together, with the Airlife apparently being the “key to my Zeen”.
HP has a long history with Windows Mobile, which makes a HP future smartphone more likely to be running the OS.
Do any of our readers have have any more information about these two products (and their rather new-agey monikers)? Let us know in the comments below.
As the Web becomes more social, privacy becomes harder and harder to come by. People are over-sharing on Facebook and Twitter, broadcasting their whereabouts every ten steps on Foursquare and Gowalla, and uploading photos and videos of their most private moments to the Web for all to see. It’s easy to say that privacy is dead, we all live in public now, and just deal with it.
But things are a bit more complicated. It used to be that we lived in private and chose to make parts of our lives public. Now that is being turned on its head. We live in public, like the movie says (except via micro-signals not 24-7 video self-surveillance), and choose what parts of our lives to keep private. Public is the new default.
Stowe Boyd, along with others before him, calls this new state of exposure “publicy” (as opposed to privacy or secrecy). He writes:
The idea of publicy is no more than this: rather than concealing things, and limiting access to those explicitly invited, tools based on publicy default to things being open and with open access.
I don’t particularly care for the neologism, but the idea behind it is spot on. This change represents a major shift in the social fabric, and it is only now just getting started. If you thought there was a lot of hair-pulling over privacy in 2009, just wait until 2010. Facebook’s new privacy policies which favor more public sharing, will be a big driver of this shift, as will the continued adoption of Twitter, which by its very design makes personal utterances public. Then there are startups like Blippy that go even further by turning every single purchase into a public statement.
It takes some getting used to the idea of living in public. As I discussed several hours ago with Andrew Keen, in public on Twitter, instead of making the private public, we will make the public private.” When public is the default, you deliberately select what to keep private instead of the other way around.
It’s not that privacy disappears. But it becomes more a matter of emphasis and a conscious decision. Boyd points out:
Some people are the web equivalent of nudists: they live very open lives on the web, revealing the intimate details of their relationships, what they think of friends and co-workers, their interactions with family and authorities. But . . . even these apparently wide open web denizens may keep some things private, or secret.
Privacy and secrecy are two different things. Secrets can be shared, and thus become “social objects that link those sharing the secrets together, and excluding others,” writes Boyd. Making it easy for people to move from the public to the private, and in between, will become increasingly important for Web companies.
Getting back to the original question, privacy will still live on, but will be so transformed as to become almost unrecognizable. No doubt, many people will mistake it for dead and keep pulling out their hair. The rest of us will go on with our public lives.

We’ve just passed through the first week or so of official winter, so there’s truly no escaping the fact that cold season is upon us. To combat the possibility of catching a cold, many Canadians turn to vitamin C, vitamin D, multivitamin and mineral support, and maybe even echinacea or resveratrol. But several studies have given credence to the use of an old Chinese Medicine remedy that you may want to add to your arsenal of cold-fighting nutrients.
A study out of the University of Alberta published in The Canadian Medical Association Journal a few years back found that supplementing with an extract of North American ginseng lowers your chance of getting a cold and reduces the severity of colds once you have them. North American ginseng, grown primarily in Ontario, British Columbia and Wisconsin, is a root that resembles a parsnip in appearance and is highly valued for its medicinal properties.

Are you involved with a partner who is always second-guessing you or making you feel like you’re never good enough? Dr. Nina W. Brown, author of Coping with Infuriating, Mean, Critical People, explains how overly critical partners can poison a relationship and offers some tips on how to deal with it.
Q: What kind of impact does a critical personality have on their partner and on the relationship?
A: Overly critical partners do not perceive themselves as overly critical, or even sometimes as being critical. They are seeking perfection, and unconsciously assume that others also have a desire and need to be perfect. They can be convinced on a deep level that their way is the only “right” way, and that others should recognize this and comply.
Relationships can suffer when one partner is overly critical as the other partner can never be or act in a way that eliminates most of the criticism. And all criticism can never be eliminated because perfection is never achieved.
Tips for dealing with a critical partner, after the jump…

2009 brought a lot of change to the online video world. We saw the surging growth of new players like Hulu, the advent of TV Everywhere (TVE), the first steps of YouTube’s monetization, more live video and mobile video, and video starting to reach beyond media and into other sectors of society. Video advertising-based monetization also grew 50 percent year over year–the fastest growth rate for any form of advertising during the Great Recession.
From the energy of our customers to the phone calls from investment bankers, it is quite apparent that 2010 is going to be a very significant year again for online video. Here’s what’s going to happen:
TV Everywhere
TVE is a new framework that will enable participants in the established TV industry to bring more of their content online. TV networks will be enabled to put their shows on the Web with these three caveats:
2010 is going to produce a lot of first efforts in the TVE space, driven first by the large cable companies–Comcast (CMCS), Time Warner (TWC), etc.–and followed by their fellow distributors. We’ll see a decent amount of feature-length TV become available on ISP sites and via the sites of the TV programmers themselves. But 2010 won’t be a big year for TVE. There’s still way too much that needs to be worked out, from standards for authentication to business questions about revenue associated with TVE content, and to user experience issues that might be created by such a federated model of online media consumption.
For TVE, 2010 will be a great year for experiments and learning, and will largely be a setup for growth in 2011.
Connected TV
Just as the traditional TV industry makes moves to bring TV to the PC, the consumer electronics industry is making moves to bring online video to the TV. The TVE folks had better get moving quickly, because 2010 will bring a plethora of new opportunities for consumers to access video content directly from their living rooms.
Several trends are driving the industry forward:
But don’t get your hopes up too high. This is going to be a slow-moving process. The churn cycle on TV is slow, and the devices are priced at a premium. They’re also going to have user experience quirks, and initially, limited adoption by developers.
Again, just as TVE will wait until 2011, open distribution to TVs will also have to wait. And, in fact, these two worlds may not collide, they may simply converge. If I’m a cable subscriber, maybe I’ll just flip on my new LCD Vizio, authenticate against ESPN.com (which in the background checks to make sure that I’m a subscriber), then I’d access all the glory of on-demand apps and content from ESPN over the internet and onto the device.
Mobile Video
With the surge in smartphone sales, mobile video adoption will become more than just a blip on the radar. Mobile advertising is becoming mature; in-app payment models for content is emerging; online video platforms such as Brightcove are making it easy-to-publish mobile video. Most importantly, however, are the scale and usage numbers–there are now more iPhone 3G subscribers than there are Comcast Digital Cable subscribers.
Video Monetization
In 2009, online video advertising grew faster than any other category in the global advertising market (50 percent). It’s forecast to grow 3-5X over the next several years.
Right now, the primary ad format for online video is the short video commercials that happen before and during programs. This is about one-fourth of the advertising load that television bears. There are also those clever little overlay ads that users can click on to watch a video commercial, but neither of these approaches comes close to generating the amount of revenue per viewer hour that broadcast television delivers.
We know that online users will not accept more of an ad load, so what is it going to take to drive the value of the advertising higher? In 2010 the industry will crack the code for higher-value video advertising. In order to be more valuable it needs to be a win-win-win situation (e.g. viewers enjoy more relevant ads, publishers generate more revenue, and advertisers get more targeted ads with more engaged viewers who drive direct action).
Here’s what will shake out:
Video Commerce and Marketing
In 2009 we began to see the broad adoption of online video by all kinds of marketers and retailers. Why is this a big deal?
First, the two largest engines of growth in the Internet economy are digital marketing and online commerce, accounting for the vast majority of dollars flowing through the Web.
Second, every organization on the planet uses the Web as a marketing platform for their products, services, causes and agendas. The primary investment they make are in their own Web sites, the secondary investment is in online advertising to drive users to their Web site. The growth in online video in marketing and e-commerce is very significant. Marketers are using video on their sites because it is driving better metrics–longer visits and higher conversion rates. In e-commerce, video is driving a double-digit lift in sales and lowering customer service costs. 2010 will be a record year for marketers and for e-commerce site adoption of online video.
Online Video Platforms
In 2009, our industry finally emerged as a category: Online Video Platforms (OVPs), a cloud-based approach to video publishing and distribution. Just as Web hosting, ad servers, Web analytics and search have all moved to the cloud, so too has online video.
In 2009, some of these really became platforms, for which hundreds of third-party companies began building plug-ins and integrations.
Several things will happen in the OVP market:

Determined to shed some weight in 2010? Your sense of smell could be a powerful weapon in the battle against the bulge, according to recent research. And it might not just be effective in helping people lose a pound or two of holiday indulgences — scientists are suggesting that anti-hunger smells could put an end to the obesity epidemic. Now that’s a lofty goal.
But since the smell of food usually makes people feel ravenous and is more conducive to stuffing one’s face than practicing careful moderation, can an odour actually help people watch what they eat? Food technologist Rianne Ruijschop and his colleagues from NIZO Food Research in Ede in The Netherlands answer that question with a resounding yes, because they’ve discovered that certain aromas can help people feel full. And if this aroma could be released during the chewing process, it could lead people to eat less food. Complex odours are most effective at filling people up because they lead the brain to think that a large meal with plenty of variety was being consumed.
But now for the catch: Just like any ineffective, get-slim-quick trick, this one alone won’t make you svelte enough to slide effortlessly into your skinny jeans. “[These aromas] are not really the solution by itself,” Ruijschop said. “It’s also very much about changes in lifestyle.” Meaning you’ve still gotta work at it, so don’t give up that gym membership just yet.
Technology Review has a roundup of the year’s big news on the energy front, highlighting “Liquid batteries, giant lasers, and vast new reserves of natural gas” (showing a touching amount of faith in the long term future for unconventional natural gas from both a supply point of view and an environmental point of view) – The Year in Energy.
One of the most dramatic developments (“Natural Gas Changes the Energy Map”) was the rush to exploit a vast new resource; new drilling technologies have made it possible to economically recover natural gas from shale deposits scattered throughout the country, including in Texas and parts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Advances in drilling technology have increased available natural gas by 39 percent, according to an estimate released in June. The relatively clean-burning fuel could cut greenhouse gas emissions by becoming a substitute for coal. Natural gas might even provide an alternative to petroleum in transportation, especially for buses and taxis–if only policymakers could take advantage of the new opportunity. …
This year was also the year of the smart grid, as numerous test projects for improving the reliability of the grid and enabling the use of large amounts of renewable energy got underway (“Technology Overview: Intelligent Electricity”). The smart grid will be enabled by key advances, such as superconductors for high-energy transmission lines (“Superconductors to Wire a Smarter Grid”) and smart networks being developed by companies such as GE (“Q&A: Mark Little, Head of GE Global Research”).
Cellulosic ethanol–made from biomass such as grass rather than corn grain–moved closer to commercialization, with announcements of demonstration plant openings (“Commercializing Garbage to Ethanol”) and scientific breakthroughs that could make the process cheaper (“Cellulosic Ethanol on the Cheap”). But at the same time, a number of companies are moving beyond cellulosic ethanol to the production of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from biomass–fuels that can be used much more readily in existing infrastructure and in existing vehicles. Exxon-Mobil announced substantial investments in algae-based fuels (“Big Oil Turns to Algae”). Remarkably, one startup declared its process–based on synthetic genomics and algae–could allow biofuels to replace all of transportation fuels without overwhelming farmland (“A Biofuel Process to Replace All Fossil Fuels”).
Still, most people think biofuels will only supply a fraction of our transportation needs (“Briefing: Transportation”). To eliminate carbon emissions and drastically curtail petroleum consumption will require plug-in hybrids (“Driving the Volt”) and other electricity-powered vehicles (“Nissan’s Leaf: Charged with Information”). Advances that could double (or more) the energy capacity of batteries and lower their costs could one day make such vehicles affordable to the masses. These include new formulations such as lithium-sulfur batteries (“Revisiting Lithium-Sulfur Batteries”), metal-air batteries (“High-Energy Batteries Coming to Market”) such as lithium-air batteries (“IBM Invests in Battery Research”), and batteries that rely on nanowires and silicon (“More Energy in Batteries”). A novel concept for super-fast charge stations at bus stops could make electric buses practical (“Next Stop: Ultracapacitor Buses”).
Getting the electricity to charge these vehicles–without releasing vast amounts of carbon dioxide–could be made easier by a number of advances this year. A new liquid battery could cheaply store energy from wind turbines and solar panels for use when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing (“TR10: Liquid Battery”), making it practical to rely on large amounts of renewable electricity. Vast arrays of mirrors (“Solar Thermal Heats Up”) are being assembled in the desert to convert solar heat into electricity, and photovoltaic solar farms for converting light directly into electricity (“Chasing the Sun”) are getting a boost from the federal stimulus money. And researchers are finding ways to increase the efficiency of solar cells (“More Efficient, and Cheaper, Solar Cells”) and are discovering new photovoltaic materials to make solar power cheaper (“Mining Fool’s Gold for Solar”).
Mister kitten doesn’t have a name yet. We’ll cover that in the next post. In future posts, I’ll also share my experiences in introducing this new kitten to the resident feline, Choco, who has been the only cat for six years!
It’s difficult to explain how you know when you’ve met a cat that’s supposed to be your pet. I’ve been thinking of getting a second cat for a while, but my husband has talked me out of it because we don’t have much spare housing space at the moment. Plus, we’re both concerned that Choco won’t get along with a new cat.
I’ve adored several felines up for adoption through the months, but none of them tugged hard enough at my 
heart to close the deal. Yet, today, when visiting family a few hours away, I was introduced to a kitten that had been living outside since it was born around five months ago.
New kitty adopted me from the moment I held him. He was just the cat I’d been looking for – a super sweet, yet kind of exotic-looking brown tabby. A regular ole domestic shorthair with love to give.
Most kittens would run around more, but mine was very content to sit lovingly in my lap until I just couldn’t stand the thought of not taking him home.
The little guy was seemingly healthy, yet a bit smelly! Since he had not been to the vet yet, I swung by a vet’s office quickly just before they closed to get a leukemia and FIV test. Both were negative! My regular vet is off this week, but my new addition has an appointment on Monday to get vaccines and arrange for neutering.
I must brag a bit too. My new kitten didn’t cry at all the whole two-hour ride home. He’s not complaining right now as he rests in his crate in the bathroom (away from Choco). Nope, he doesn’t appear sick, just laid back. Fingers are crossed he uses his litter box for the first time. Right now, I think he’s so very grateful to be inside where it’s warm.

With E-Readers gaining in popularity every year, it was only a matter of time before magazines got their digital treatment. Swedish technology company Bonnier has unveiled it’s prototype e-mag reader dubbed the Mag+. The Bonnier philosophy focuses on creating an authentic magazine experience. Aiming to make the digital experience as close to the real thing as possible.
The Mag+ functions mostly as you would expect, but adds some new bells and whistles. A minimalist heads up display monitors the readers progress in percent. Page changes can be achieved with a horizontal swipe while a vertical swipe will allow you to follow text down the page. Focus switches between images and words with hand gestures. Tap a photograph and the text will dissolve away allowing you unrestricted access to the image. Tap a region of text and the image will lose focus allowing the reader to concentrate on the article.
The most interesting feature to make it into the Mag+ is the context menu. Rub your finger back and forth anyplace on the screen surface and every page element will become selectable. Tap any region of text or image to reveal a radial context menu. The context menu allows for upload to the web, email, and various other internet destinations.

Triple Pundit has a post on the state of play in the bioplastic market – Bioplastic: The 8 Percent Solution.
The future of plastics once fossil fuels run dry or the price for it becomes too expensive is bioplastics.
But that alternative future is distant, measured in terms of decades, says Frederic Scheer, chairman, president and founder of Cereplast Inc., a Hawthorne, CA, company that designs and manufactures bio-based, sustainable plastics.
Which is not to say that bioplastics’ present is particularly shabby: Scheer says that U.S. demand for bioplastics could exceed $10 billion by 2020. That’s a conservative estimate, he contends, but it’s still a “drop in the bucket” compared to the traditional plastic market, which is about $2.5 trillion.
Scheer may be a visionary and a pioneer when it comes to bioplastics, but he’s also realistic about the challenge and the effort it will take to penetrate and begin to replace the traditional plastic market.
Referring to a recent 245-page study on the emerging bioplastics market commissioned by European Bioplastics and the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence, Scheer says, “In 2007, only 0.3 percent of global plastic production was bio-based. By 2013 we expect that overall bioplastics manufacturing capacity will increase by approximately seven times current levels, which still barely taps the surface.”
But there is no escape, Scheer continues. Traditional plastics “will need to embrace bioplastic” because the price of oil is volatile and will surely increase over time, which increases the pressure to move to bioplastics. “There’s also increasing demand from consumers to use bioplastic.”
Cereplast’s technology produces bio-based resins, which are little pellets of material used as the building blocks of molded plastic products. They are used to replace nearly all or a significant portion of the petroleum-based additives used in plastics by using natural material from starches such as tapioca, corn, wheat and potatoes.
In addition to starch-based resins, Cereplast has developed a technology to transform algae into bioplastics and is planning to launch a new family of algae-based resins. Algae have the potential to become a major green feedstock for biofuels and bioplastics.
There will be a day when bioplastic replaces traditional plastic but that replacement will occur incrementally over a long period of time, say 20-30 years “because we are starting from a low point,” Scheer says. It is an emerging market with plenty of room for growth and new entrants – Cereplast is one of only three major players, the others being Natureworks and Metabolix.
The New York Times has an article on the scuttling of a raft of large scale solar power projects in the Mojave desert, in the name of “protecting the environment” – Desert Vistas vs. Solar Power.
Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation in Congress on Monday to protect a million acres of the Mojave Desert in California by scuttling some 13 big solar plants and wind farms planned for the region.
But before the bill to create two new Mojave national monuments has even had its first hearing, the California Democrat has largely achieved her aim. Regardless of the legislation’s fate, her opposition means that few if any power plants are likely to be built in the monument area, a complication in California’s effort to achieve its aggressive goals for renewable energy.
Developers of the projects have already postponed several proposals or abandoned them entirely. The California agency charged with planning a renewable energy transmission grid has rerouted proposed power lines to avoid the monument.
“The very existence of the monument proposal has certainly chilled development within its boundaries,” said Karen Douglas, chairwoman of the California Energy Commission.
Mrs. Feinstein heads the Senate subcommittee that oversees the budget of the Interior Department, giving her substantial clout over that agency, which manages the government’s landholdings. Her intervention in the Mojave means it will be more difficult for California utilities to achieve a goal, set by the state, of obtaining a third of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020; projects in the monument area could have supplied a substantial portion of that power.
“This is arguably the best solar land in the world, and Senator Feinstein shouldn’t be allowed to take this land off the table without a proper and scientific environmental review,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist and a partner with a venture capital firm that invested in a solar developer called BrightSource Energy. In September, BrightSource canceled a large project in the monument area.
Up until now, Ferrari’s team principal Stefano Domenicali did not have the reputation of a call them like I see them kind of person. On the contrary, he was mostly known for his calm and quite diplomatic statements regarding stuff that happens inside the Great Circle. However, when hearing about Nelsinho Piquet, the situation changes to 180 degrees.

Eco Factor: Concept car designed to get powered by solar energy.
In an effort to green personal transportation, industrial designers have long imagined vehicles that are powered by electric engines running on renewable sources of energy harvested by the vehicle itself. The Deltoid, which was an entrant at the Michelin Design Challenge, is one such double energy vehicle that harvests renewable energy for a sustainable ride.
