After some digging around in the recently posted user guides, some have turned up a possible rainbow of colors for the Centro. If you follow the guide and click on the AT&T branded white Centro, you will be given a page that shows (pictured above) the rainbow of Centro colors. We have seen the “AT&T only” model, the white with green keys that seems to either be loved or hated, but included in the picture is also the white with the grey keys that we have seen, and previously thought was going to AT&T. In addition there is also a red, black and dark blue model. We already know that we will see an ”obsidion black” Centro hitting AT&T within a month, but it seems like the other red, dark blue and white with grey could be additional unlocked GSM models.

There was once a time when the CB radio was considered high-tech. While the technology is still in use today, it’s tough to see it as cutting-edge. Don’t worry though, Cobra Electronics has brought the CB into the 21st Century by adding in Bluetooth. I was a bit curious about what you would do with a Bluetooth CB radio, but it really makes sense. Since truckers are going to carry cell phones, why not take their existing communication device and turn it into a headset for their phone? Aside from the Bluetooth capabilities, the Cobra Electronics 29 LTD BT CB remains the same as your average CB. I can’t remember the last time I used a CB radio (if ever) and I’ve certainly never been behind the wheel of a big rig. (Read the full post about ‘CB radio updated with Bluetooth capabilities’…)

Posted Feb 24th 2008 11:15AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Transportation It’s really too bad nanotechnology is so gosh darn morally unacceptable, it could do so much good for humanity! Take this new wiperless windshield, for instance. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina, the Hidra features an aerodynamic design, and a bit of a nanotech sandwich (mmm, sandwich) to keep the front glass clear of water and debris. The first layer protects from sun and repels water, the second layer features “nano-dust” to push dirt to the edges of the windshield and is activated by the third layer which senses the dirt, while the whole kit is powered by the fourth layer which conducts electricity to keep it going.

Posted Feb 24th 2008 8:57AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Digital Cameras, Transportation Ever on the lookout for the next step in up in Big Brother policy, there’s a new camera technology being developed in the UK at Loughborough University which can count car occupants by figuring out how much water and blood content there is inside the car. The obvious application is for trimming down those carpool lane offenders, trying to squeeze by the law with a dummy or a pet in the passenger seat. Look, privacy concerns aside, there’s just something awkward about traffic cams tracking quantities of blood and water inside of commuter cars. Do we really want to let the Machines have that kind of inside (literally) information (Read the full post about ‘New camera tech can detect blood and water content in your car. Ew.’…)

A new online resource from Palm could prove to be helpful for some of the new Palm smartphone owners. With the recent popularity (and the low price) of the Centro we are now seeing a whole new group of smartphone users, some who may not be as technology friendly.

Posted Feb 24th 2008 5:05AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Desktops Anybody remember when a gigaflop was a big deal? Oh, how far we’ve come. Researchers are now talking about exascale computing, which means systems that can handle a million trillion calculations per second. To put that in perspective, IBM’s BlueGene/L (pictured), the fastest machine running, has a peak performance of 596 teraflops. A petaflop is 1000 times faster than a teraflop, and an exaflop is 1000 times faster than a petaflop. Yeah, that’s a lot of flops.
