Toyota's $50,000 Hydrogen Powered Car

The question is, would you buy a $50,000 car? Toyota hopes so, and although it is twice as expensive as their eco-friendly Prius, they hope the Pros: zero emissions and a renewable fuel source will be enough to bring in customers. Its FCHV (pictured above) has been on display for some time now and Toyota hopes to make it a success from the get-go. Will it succeed? Only time will tell, one thing is for sure however, until hydrogen distribution centers become mainstream, this bad boy isn't going anywhere.

Google Chrome: Faster than a Potato?

Well it looks like Google doesn't mess around when it comes to testing their browser's speed. Unlike Apple and Mozilla, who use Java and HTML to test how fast their browser are, Google uses... a Potato? Yes people a potato, the same ones growing in your backyard. Seems like Google wants to set a new standard on how to test web browser speeds, Google don't forget the ketchup.

Adobe vs Apple

Well it seems that the long awaited Flash for iPhone will not be coming anytime soon.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded to criticisms from Adobe this week explaining why Flash is not available for the iPhone. In a nutshell, Steve posted six reasons why they were not allowing Flash on their mobile devices. One of the main reasons that stood out was that Flash was not compatible for mobile devices. Jobs would go on to say that the new standard "HTML5" would be the future of mobile devices on web browsers. This response comes after Adobe's remarks of backing out on making Adobe Flash for the iPhone.

One reason for Apple's attitude might be to protect their App store from being exposed to free, 3rd party games. In the end iPhone users are left without Flash, a product which is becoming standard in other mobile devices such as the Droid and upcoming phones such as the "Lightning" by Dell.

Google Acquires BumpTop

News has filled the internet that Google acquired the 3D Desktop Manager BumpTop for an undisclosed sum.


So what is Bumptop?

BumpTop is a 3D, multi-touch desktop manager that has been implemented into both Windows 7 and Mac OS X Operating systems. It basically makes both operating systems interactive.

Although no word is out on what Google plans to do with their new "toy" many things come to mind. One is the implementation of their newly acquired asset with Google's Operating system Chrome. This could very well be the beginning of Google's version of an Apple iPad or Touch. One can only hope... Right?
