Web 2.0, Part 2: Serious Business Tool or Silly Waste of Time?
How do you suppose a professor of computer science and engineering might use Web 2.0 tools?

Designers jump at the chance to drape their latest fashions across celebrity shoulders in an effort to reach the consumer.

NASA's Foam Quandary, Part 1: Anatomy of a Disaster
As the world watched the progress of the space shuttle Endeavour's mission to the ISS and back last month, it was hard not to suffer from flashbacks to past space disasters. The presence of Mission Specialist Barbara Morgan, for one, evoked memories of the 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster, since Morgan had served as backup to Christa McAuliffe under the NASA Teacher in Space program for that doomed mission.
Who Cares Why?
Related to the inequality post below, one thing that bugs me about the way liberals often approach these issues is a tendency to get bogged down into picayune controversies about exactly why inequality has exploded. Was it the skill-biased technological change? Were CEOs underpaid in the past? Can we blame globalization? In truth, while these are ... (Read on Source)

Nissan to Use Solar Charging for Batteries
When you see dozens of new cars lined up at a car dealership, do you ever wonder how long they sit around? Well, dealers certainly know, as they often find a new car?s battery completely drained because it?s been sitting idle for too long. Nissan is fixing that problem by shipping solar-powered battery chargers in all of its new cars and trucks. These will not be sold with the car to customers but will be reused at the dealership level.
The idea is that one charger can prevent dozens of expensive car batteries from having to be replaced.
This makes a lot of sense because cars on lots, well, sit on lots, outside, exposed to sunlight. Rumor has it Toyota is thinking of using similar solar chargers to power the air conditioning and electronics in its next-generation Prius. Some of the chargers sold to consumers only cost $50, so we?re wondering why manufacturers haven?t thought of adding them before. Especially on dashboards or the shelf behind the rear seats.
