Camera Phones, Moblogging Continued, and Technology to Change the World
Here are more interesting links related to camera phones, moblogging, and related technology following my post Tuesday, Mobile Phones, Moblogs, and Technology: Adam Greenfield is credited with coining the term “moblogging” last November, just over 6 months ago, noting HipTop Nation as an example: “the future-becoming-present in real time: this is what happens when you fuse digital cameras and text-entry functionality with a way to publish it to the Web, for better and worse”. Satoshi Nakajima, CEO for UIEvolution Inc. has provided the rest of us with a terrific overview history with corresponding links about camera phones in his... (274 words, 12 links)

Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green
The environmental movement has never been short on noble goals. Preserving wild spaces, cleaning up the oceans, protecting watersheds, neutralizing acid rain, saving endangered species — all laudable. But today, one ecological problem outweighs all others: global warming. Restoring the Everglades, protecting the Headwaters redwoods, or saving the Illinois mud turtle won't matter if climate change plunges the planet into chaos. It's high time for greens to unite around the urgent need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
Just one problem. Winning the war on global warming requires slaughtering some of environmentalism's sacred cows. We can afford to ignore neither the carbon-free electricity supplied by nuclear energy nor the transformational potential of genetic engineering. We need to take advantage of the energy efficiencies offered by urban density. We must accept that the world's fastest-growing economies won't forgo a higher standard of living in the name of climate science — and that, on the way up, countries like India and China might actually help devise the solutions the planet so desperately needs.
Some will reject this approach as dangerously single-minded: The environment is threatened on many fronts, and all of them need attention. So argues Alex Steffen. That may be true, but global warming threatens to overwhelm any progress made on other issues. The planet is already heating up, and the point of no return may be only decades away. So combating greenhouse gases must be our top priority, even if that means embracing the unthinkable. Here, then, are 10 tenets of the new environmental apostasy.

Car Finance Quotes available - could you be saving money
When thinking about car finance it is important to get to the bottom of your particular needs. If you think you may only qualify for a small car loan you could consider hire purchasing your car. This means you will have the car for the duration of the lease, pay a rental figure on it with the option at the end of the deal to pay a lump sum to keep the car, if you don�t want the car you simply return it to the dealer. Going to independent financial brokers for refinance could lower them compared to loans provided by motor dealers, banks or other internet based lenders � basically you should check out the whole of the market before you agree to a new deal. On a lease purchase deal you can dramatically reduce your monthly repayments but keep your dream car. Just by restructuring your agreement or moving onto a different deal it could lead to lower car payments per month. As with any big financial decision, make sure you get everything in black and white before you commit to your new car finance deal, and for that matter the car itself. If the seller puts in writing their agreement to carry out any work that needs to be done for example paintwork. Often financial advisors have access to a variety of other sources of information. If you haven�t found the perfect car they will often have access to a range of affiliate partners who can get you your dream car at a fraction of the cost, along with a great financial package to boot!
