Google Chrome

Google realized that we all spend a lot of time working within browsers. People chat, e-mail and collaborate within a browser and in our spare time we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends all by using browsers. Because of the large amount of time people spend using browsers Google began to seriously think about what kind of browser could exist if they started from scratch and built on the best elements available. What Google figured out they needed was not just a browser, but also a modem platform for web pages and applications, and that's what they set out to build.
Google Chrome can be summed up as clean and fast, it gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go. What Google was able to build was the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. Each tab in Google Chrome is isolated and this prevents one tab from crashing another and provides improved protection from rogue sites. Speed and responsiveness were greatly improved with this application and Google also built a V8, a more powerful javascript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.

Revolutionizing Cell Phone Technology: Droid

Cell phone technology seems to be advancing all the time these days. New phones seem to come out on a weekly basis but they all offer relatively the same technology with only a change in the design of the phones physical appearance. The latest release from Verizon called the "Droid" just recently shook up the cell phone landscape. This phone is definetly at the top of its class offering a wide array of advancements. These advancements include; 10,000+ available applications, simultaneous running applications, speech recognition, 5 mega pixel camera, large high resolution screen, America's most reliable 3G Network, notification panel, multi-tasking, video, android music player and android 2.0. That is just a taste of what this phone offers and that is why I feel that "Droid" is the best phone on the market.

Solar Power on the Front Lines

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Advanced Power Generation Future Naval Capabilites program has introduced technology designed to harness some of the sunlight that beats down upon U.S. Marines operating in the Arabian Desert. Fueled by the sun, the Ground Renewable Expeditionary ENergy System (GREENS) is portable, 300W, photovoltaic/battery system that provides continuous power to marines in the field. This technology will be of great benefit to the military so that power will never be an issue in saving and benefitting the lives of those who defend our country.
