Submission + - OpenMoko - Not Only an Open Phone Platform

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday June 28, 2007 @12:56AM

An anonymous reader writes: The OpenMoko open phone project has announced the release dates of not only their first hardware releases (October for $450 for the public release), but also that they will be forming a company which designs and sells hardware and Free software in conjunction with FIC and the Open Source community. It appears that hackers will get first crack at the Neo1973, with widespread release before the end of the year including Wi-Fi and accelerometers. 'Hacker Lunchboxes' will be available for those hardcore projects that need a bit more access to the hardware inside.

With the Neo1973's release, other, more iexpensive, iclosed, itouchscreen phones will have some competition. My bet is on the ilocked phone to win... initially.

Submission + - Scientist: Feds are blocking hydrogen fuel

Lucas123 writes: "A Purdue University engineer and National Medal of Technology winner says the federal government is blocking development of a new method of creating hydrogen fuel as a clean energy alternative to gasoline. The professor is claiming the government won't fund the research of a process already proven to work. '"Egos" at the U.S. Department of Energy, a key funding source for energy research, "are holding up the revolution,"' Professor Jerry Woodall said. The method uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water — a process that he thinks could replace gasoline as well as its pollutants and emissions tied to global warming. The hydrogen is generated on demand, so you only produce as much as you need when you need it.'"

Oh, BTW I had a heck of a time deciding which topic to enter this link. How about adding a topic to cover new developments in Biology, Health Care, Diet, Prosthetics, & Aging?"

Submission + - French Space Agency to Post UFO Database Online

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Friday December 29, 2006 @07:52PM

An anonymous reader writes: According to an article at ZDNet, The French Space Agency, or Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), is planning to post a database of approximately 1,600 UFO incidents in late January / early February 2007.

From the headline:
"[the database]...consists of about 6,000 reports, many relating to the same incident, filed by the public and airline professionals. Their names would not be published to protect their privacy..."

Is this the start of major governments opening up about UFO's?
