I like all the ideas posted so far. LEED for homes is a standard by USGBC (rating system: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=3638 ). Now not a lot of people can invest in all the credits and build a LEED certified home. So few things are...

Mr. Dixit is right. By chance, if the credit card's number goes in the hands of a wrong man, who may be a hacker also, he can make the owner completely bankrupt. By using the thumb impression technology, this process can be avoided because no two...

I guess my point here is, Google is jack of all trades and king of just one trade – search. Now, even that is being challenged. Not in a traditional way but by filling the gaps.

It was inevitable really. Ever since Google Wave burst on to the scene as the next hot thing, someone, somewhere was going to beat Google to the punch and release something comparable. That something is Shareflow, a new SaaS play by New York City-based startup Zenbe. Whether or not Shareflow is simply an imitator is really beside the point. What matters is that it's available here and now, and it works. Shareflow is a granular version of a flow-based collaboration; you can either view all flows or just single projects. In terms of content, it handles threaded comments, files of most types can be uploaded and previewed through Scribd's iPaper interface, there's Google Maps integration, image...
