Possible option for a "me collector," hmmm…..

"After stepping into the green energy industry recently, Google filed an application to the FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) towards attaining rights towards the buying and selling of energy. According to the document Google Energy appealed for market-based rate authority under which Google Energy wants to captivate the wholesale electric power transactions as a marketer. The California based search engine giant has taken many measures to curb carbon emissions."

Might want to get one of these as part of emergency kit

Overall, 2009 was a good year for transparency mostly because it was in government’s and the public’s consciousness like never before, and we’ve recapped the year pretty exhaustively.
These things are all true, but we’re certainly not to a place of openness in the executive, and in fact, we have a long way to go before we get transparency results that we can hang our hat on.
It is imperative that the onus remains on the White House to fulfill their big promises, and incumbent upon the media and we as citizens to hold them accountable for doing so.

Verizon took a lot of heat when earlier they pulled their unlimited data plans. I'm not surprised to see they're reinstating them.
"Documents obtained by Broadband Reports from a Verizon Wireless employee indicate that another round of changes is on tap for January 18. Most importantly, the document indicates that Verizon is replacing the $19.99 for 75MB plan for a plan that costs $29.99 for unlimited access, plus mobile e-mail service. If truly unlimited (and the document makes no reference to hidden caps), then that's a slight improvement for big red."
"Another important item to notes is that as they did with smartphones, Verizon is going to start requiring some kind of data plan for all phones. Phones are now divided into three classes by Verizon: "simple feature," "3G Multimedia," and "3G smartphone." "Even some basic phones such as the LG VX8360 will require data plans starting the 18th," says our tipster."

"Despite these sacrifices, Google has never figured out a way to defeat its rival, Baidu, which clearly enjoys the support of the Chinese government. These attacks appear to have been the last straw. They threatened not only the core intellectual property of the company but the the intrusions into the e-mail accounts of human-rights activists struck at the heart of Google’s self-perception of its role in the world. When the other affected companies decided not to go public, Google stepped forward, even though its decision will likely result in the loss of its China business."
