Posted in: car, Cars, charger, charging, electric, electric vehicle, ElectricVehicle, ev, Google, Today's Chili, Wireless
We’ve seen it adorned with a giant Honeycomb and an oversized Gingerbread man, and now Google’s bringing a more practical addition to its Mountain View campus — specifically, a Plugless Power EV charging station. Its maker touts the installation as “the first public release” of the handsfree re-juicing system, and says it will eventually provided power to a fleet of low-speed EVs already in use at El Goog HQ — the first of which has already been retrofitted to get pumped up. Who knows, maybe now we’ll see something come of Google’s claims to make electrical vehicles charge more efficiently. Full PR after the break.

Best Buy signs up for LightSquared’s wholesale LTE service
Posted in: 4G, BestBuy, ctia, lte, Today's Chili
First it was Cricket Wireless, and now another piece of LightSquared’s puzzle has fallen into place — it’s just announced at CTIA that Best Buy has signed on as a wholesale customer for the yet-to-be-launched LTE network. Details on the agreement are still pretty light, as you might expect, but Best Buy will apparently use the network to bolster its Best Buy Connect wireless service, which currently relies on Sprint and Clearwire’s 3G and 4G networks. Exactly when that will happen isn’t clear, unfortunately, but LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja says the first trials are expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.

Doctors Used Xbox Kinect In Surgery In Canada
Posted in: kinect, Today's Chili, video games, Weird News, xbox 360
Can the Xbox Kinect can help surgeons? A number of doctors in Canada thing so.They’ve been using the gesture-based peripheral to access photos, helping guide the surgery.
The doctors needed to access photos without having to touch anything. This allowed them to perform surgery more quickly, without having to stop to wash their hands. This may well be the first time ever that a hospital used a video game console as a guide in surgery.
The doctor has also claimed that he plans to use the Kinect more often in both surgeries, and other areas in the hospital.
