IO and MN Appliance Rebate Program are promising a green future

Minnesota and Iowa Appliance Rebate programs have proved it wrong. We do care about our - pocket - world. Very first results have almost zero accomplishment but sometimes even the lowest number tells the whole story. Rebate programs aimed at pushing gren energy products to the masses that were planned to be take off back in 2009 have hit a milestone today. Both Iowans and Minnesotans woke up today to apply for their newer, greener energy efficient freezer or dishwasher or clothwasher or even refrigerator but it seems this public rush has to be delayed to a later morning.

Users were getting 8001050f error code message when they tried to connect to the world famous online network. This is not the only network suffering a connectivity glitch.

Digital shaving mirror

While surfing the net, I've come up with this genius idea. If there's no mirror, then create one using available technologies at home, forming a sort of digital mirror for your self. Get a camcorder, connect it to a pc (and a monitor) for a bigger viewing experience and do the stuff you ought to do like shaving or make up.
The only tiny little problems with this invention are: A- Mirroring technology is not functioning properly. While you're shaving your left cheek, you see your right cheek. It's totally troublesome. The image needs to be horizontally mirrored in real time. B- Where the hell is water if you are not using a shaver machine?

Copenhagen wheel: Why is it so special?

Some genius guys in MIT's (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) MIT Senseable City Lab have developed a stunning wheel which can operate itself if you use your brakes while riding. Having almost the same concept with hybrid cars out there, this wheel can store energy into its battery operated motor inside when braking power is about to applied. Commercial products need to be matured a little bit; let's say a couple of years? Who knows...
