Consumers picked to test hydrogen car prototypes

Tom Albert drove his loaner Chevrolet Equinox like any other car.

He took it to work during the week, picked up groceries, and loaded up the back with bags of soil at the garden store. When his infant son was fussy, Albert drove the newborn around the block to calm him down.

The normal driving experience ended, however, when it came time to fuel the car. Aboard the silent vehicle, Albert had two filling stations to choose from in the Washington, D.C., area, and the fuel — hydrogen — was anything but typical.

Albert’s no-cost behind-the-wheel experience last spring was part of an ongoing program by General Motors Corp. to see if next-generation vehicles powered by hydrogen can become a reality. Automakers such as GM, Honda Motor Co. and BMW AG are putting several hundred vehicles into suburban garages, in cities and on the highway to see how they fare in day-to-day driving.

blog ga dag

How was your blogging day bloggers? Mine was a little busy, I wasn’t able to check the blogosphere until this afternoon. I went to the gym and had my doc appointment the whole morning. it was a good break from my computer though :-)

Anyway, there were quite numbers of assignments from PPP and SS today. When I checked my dashboard around 1pm, I saw 2 opportunities that were available (for no PR blog) and of course I grabbed some.

That’s pretty much how my day went today.  It’s a bit boring and pretty much redundant but well, I’m just trying to make the most out of it.

A headset that can recognize voice command?

This is cool! A headset that is powered with a voice recognition and even responds in english is a must have if you are a cellphone addict.

It only recognizes english language commands right now yet this means that in the next few months it’ll be bilingual or can recognize more than 2 languages.. :D . Watcha think?

On Tuesday, BlueAnt Wireless launched the first headset that, by comparison, is clearly from Planet Earth. The $130 V1 headset recognizes spoken English commands, and responds, also in English.

It’s eerily like having an automated call center in your ear. It can’t do everything that a standard headset combined with a voice-recognizing phone can do, but it’s a useful advance for an industry that’s been focused on everything except ease of use.
