These days the word of mouth is green, of course related to environment and pollution. Apple is a company that (almost) everybody loves, but today they’ve made themselves a very powerful enemy, Greenpeace, the biggest environment protector.

They’ve posted a short video on Youtube showing that Apple iPhone contains chemicals that are not well regarded in European Union. On the other end comes Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola who managed to get green products for some time already.

That strikes me is that Apple made a statement a few months ago saying that they are really surprised to see they meet environment regulations, unlike other companies. Maybe they weren’t aware of the iPhone, as it was launched after that statement… yeah right.

I was an IT journalist for some time now. Even if now I don’t do that anymore, I still have some automatisms left, like checking RSS feeds everyday. That’s how I’ve came across a MTube UMPC preview, done by someone at UltraMobileLife.

If you don’t know yet what a UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) is look no further than Wikipedia’s page. Now, back to the preview. I know that everyone those days is trying to get their hands on hot products, pre production samples and pretty much any information that can help get some attention, but it’s supposed to be something, right.

Watch the next video and see if you manage not to get disappointed. The preview might as well be a hoax, as it doesn’t present anything. Is like showing off an iPhone without actually powering it on. It doesn’t matter what excuse you have: you’ll look dumb anyway.

If you all love cars as I do then certainly you keep in touch with the industry. Today I’ve seen the amazing 2057 Honda 124 car concept, a blend between public transportation and personal vehicle.

In fact the concept incorporates 4 vehicles, for 4 passengers, that travel together to a certain point, then the four modules split allowing them to “walk” different paths.

All is possible thanks to molecular biotechnology and AI (Artificial Intelligence), or better said, it will be possible around 2057. Take a look at the pictures below. More pictures here, on go4it.ro. [Source: Autoblog]
