Like Olympic skiers racing in single file to reduce air resistance, two 18-wheeler trucks in Nevada recently proved that uncomfortably close convoys can save drivers fuel and money. The key, instead of bold Olympic athleticism, is robotic assistance. A computer-assisted truck was able to follow closely behind a human-driven truck perfectly, maintaining exactly 33 feet of distance between the vehicles. The promise is a future of safer, more fuel efficient, and more robotic trucking.
As you\'ll have guessed, the technology comes from a company in Silicon Valley - called Peloton.
Family sharing brings useful new features to iOS 8 >> PadGadget
Sharing content is just one part of this new feature set. You can also use a bigger version of Find My Phone, with all users on a single map. Tracking children as they grow into teenagers and being able to manage their devices is a very nice touch.
If a child wants to buy a song or an app, then they can request access to the family credit card which sends a request to mom or dad for approval. This is so much easier than having to be there at the device to enter passwords with the kids asking for new stuff.
Perhaps the most used new feature is going to be the family shared calendar, which brings everything into a shared space for planning and organization. If you kids are as busy as mine then a shared space for tracking everything is critical. We manage right now, but this is going to make it even easier.
Reaction of my (Samsung-using) cab driver in San Francisco, who was asking about iOS 8, to the calendar-sharing feature: "Man, Android SO needs to get that."
Apple should buy Broadcom\'s cellular baseband business >> Counterpoint Technology
Neil Shah:
While R&D and integration would be tough initially, Applehas deep pockets to develop and integrate its own top-notch LTE capabilities into the products over the period of next two years. This could mean Apple will have to depend less on suppliers such as Qualcomm and can control its own roadmap by working closely with global carriers to shape its own product-cycles. Cellular IP is one weapon missing in Apple\'s arsenal which it will like to acquire as mobile is the future and will power every other device.
Broadcom is looking to sell or shut its cellular baseband business. Apple already owns a chip design business, PA Semi, bought in 2006.
How Radioactive is Our Ocean? >> Center for Marine and Environmental Radiation
The lack of cesium-134, which only has a two-year half life for radioactive decay, indicates that none of the Fukushima contaminants have reached the US west coast sampling sites. Therefore, continued support for monitoring is needed as the cesium isotopes are expected to reach the coast in 2014 and levels are predicted to increase over the coming 2-3 years.
Not clear by how it\'ll rise, or whether that\'s at all dangerous.
Environment Agency open data - next steps >> Acorn Information
Environment Agency announcement:
We recently announced the permanent access to live flood warnings, flood alerts and river levels as Open Data.
We are now expanding that commitment to include publishing as much of our data as possible, including flood data, as Open Data. This means that over time more of our data will be made available for free to developers, technology companies and individuals.
In order to help our transition to Open Data we are setting up a user group to advise us on which of our data it is most important to concentrate on making Open.
Good news.
Twitter weighs online music acquisitions
Twitter has considered buying online music services including Soundcloud and Spotify in recent months – a move that suggests it is willing to attempt its largest acquisition to secure new sources of growth.
The online messaging platform has weighed up deals worth billions of dollars as it seeks to add a music service to its offering, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Twitter has been trying to boost the amount of time people spend on its app, after coming under fire from Wall Street for slowing user growth, report Hannah Kuchler, Arash Massoudi and Tim Bradshaw." />
