The HP Mini 1000 Netbook

HP Launches New Mini 1000 Netbook Line

Hewlett Packard has unveiled its new Mini 1000 netbooks, featuring Atom processors, a slim design, BrightView LCD displays...and one case design from Vivienne Tam.


Hewlett Packard has expanded its line of Atom-powered netbook offerings with the new Mini 1000, a sleek new nettop that weights less than two pounds, is less than an inch thick, and should appeal both to folks who can't bear to be offline as well as fashion-conscious women.

Google Street View Italy Released - October 29th

I've been traveling this evening, or I would have reported sooner: Quick on the heels of France and Spain, now Italy gets some Street View coverage as well. Included locations are: Milan, Florence, Rome and Lake Como. That's essentially three new countries to get notable Street View coverage in two weeks. Reports came in from Google Maps Mania, Digital Earth Blog and Google Blogoscoped, and I got an E-mail from GEB reader 'Munden' as well.

Mitsubishi's LA Design Challenge Entry Reveals MMR25, Rally Racer Of The Future

Each year the LA Auto Show pits the best of the best of designers from the automakers to try and design some creative looks at our automotive future. Last year, it was all about "green," but this year, the project's called Motorsport 2025, and it's designed to show off what the race car of 2025 will look like.

Mitsubishi breaks from convention and introduces the MMR25.

While the look is shocking, the multi-terrain, omnidirectional wheels consist of eight independently-controlled motors, allowing for “8 x 4” wheel drive so that the car can be driven forward while pointing in any direction. The MMR25 drives sideways into a corner and points the nose of the car outwards before even reaching the apex of the curve while driving sideways or backwards.

Artificial Heart Ready for Implantation

'Full' artificial heart implant

Scientists say they have a working prototype of a fully artificial heart ready for implanting in humans.

The device beats almost exactly like the real thing using electronic sensors to regulate heart rate and blood flow.

Developers Carmat now need approval from the French authorities before pushing ahead with clinical trials.

But heart experts warned it was still early days as previous attempts to create a fully artificial heart had failed during human testing.

Professor Alain Carpentier



Only properly conducted clinical trials will establish whether this version will live up to the claims made by its manufacturers
