<description><![CDATA[Continuing a string of clean-energy investments, Google said today that it will invest $280 million to fund residential solar installations through partner SolarCity.The investment is the largest Google has made in clean energy, bringing the total amount of money it has put into renewable energy to $680 million, Google's director of green business operations Rick Needham said in a company blog today.SolarCity's leasing model is designed to lower homeowner's monthly electricity bills with a lease. The homeowner pays a monthly fee and SolarCity owns the panels and benefits from state and federal incentives for solar.(Credit:SolarCity via Google)Google will create a $280 million fund which SolarCity will use to finance the installation of residential solar photovoltaic arrays using a model that greatly lowers or eliminates the upfront cost of solar.In addition to installing solar panels, SolarCity offers the option to lease the panels, rather than buy them. Instead SolarCity owns and maintains the panels and benefits from the state and federal tax credits for solar. Homeowners pay a monthly fee but their net monthly electricity bills go down. SolarCity makes the solar financing model, which is being pursued by more companies, available in 10 states in the west and northeast. The San Francisco-based company has raised similar funds from banks and utilities to finance residential installations.Needham said that the partnership with SolarCity complements Google's investments in large-scale solar and wind energy projects. &quot;We think 'distributed' renewable energy (generated and used right at home) is a smart way to use solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to improve our power system since it helps avoid or alleviate distribution constraints on the traditional electricity grid,&quot; he said. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Wayne Cunningham/CNET)Somecars lose their unique styling when turned into convertibles. Witness the Audi A5 Cabriolet and the Mini Cooper Convertible. But the Jaguar XK, fantastically sleek as a coupe, still retains its style with a soft top. Looks aside, the growl of its 5-liter V-8 is certainly an attention-getter. With its fast shifting transmission and dynamic settings, we were very happy in the driver's seat of this gentleman's sports car.We also loved the sound of the Bowers and Wilkins stereo, which brought out fine, warm detail in the music we fed it. But the navigation system is very weak for a car in this class. The cabin tech interface also suffers from needless spectacle and generally poor information design.Check out our 2011 Jaguar XK Convertible review.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[LG&amp;39's e2350V is worth even more than Newegg&amp;39's heavily discounted price.(Credit:Josh P. Miller/CNET)Last week, I posted news on Newegg's Black Friday monitor specials. Today, the online vendor coughed up a couple of impressive new monitor deals.As of this posting, only two are available at heavily discounted prices:MonitorWasIsHanns-G HZ281HPB 27.5-inch$270$180LG E2350V-SN 23-inch$270$180Get on it fast, however, if you want to take advantage. Of the two, I can personally vouch for the quality of the LG Flatron e2350V, which features LED backlighting. I've never seen the Hanns-G model personally, but, like with its Black Friday Hanns-G, Newegg is offering a very large monitor (27-inch) for less than $200. For some, this accounts for a lot, beyond even quality. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[EnerNoc, an efficiency software company, today introduced its line of business software geared toward helping companies better control their spending on energy. The Boston-based company is well-established in the area of demand response' utilities contract with EnerNoc to manage contracts with corporations which agree to dial down energy use during peak times.Utilities are increasingly tapping demand-response resources as they plan for future power capacity needs. Instead of turning on an auxiliary power plant during a time of high demand, such as a hot summer afternoon, hundreds or thousands of businesses or consumers will agree to scale back electricity consumption. One of the screens from EnerNoc&amp;39's efficiency application, showing weather data and how different facilities at a university are meeting energy usage goals.(Credit:EnerNoc)Demand response companies, such as EnerNoc, provide aggregated demand-side reductions to utilities. The business customers who participate have equipment installed to make the adjustments, such as dimming lights in a store temporarily, and are paid a monthly fee.Because EnerNoc already gathers energy consumption data from businesses, it can also provide them with a software dashboard to better understand their energy, said Gregg Dixon, the senior vice president of marketing and sales at EnerNoc.The online application, called EfficiencySmart, lets facilities managers or financial executives, track energy consumption against goals, similar to how accounting and budgeting software track revenue and expenses. EnerNoc can do a &quot;commissioning&quot; where it will recommend energy-efficiency improvements and monitor how mechanical equipment is performing.By monitoring energy consumption and the performance of building equipment, companies can cut energy use by 15 percent before doing any efficiency projects, such as changing out lighting, Dixon said.EnerNoc is trying to sell its efficiency software suite to its current 3,500 demand-response customers. At the same time, there are a number of other companies with relatively new applications for managing energy or corporate carbon emissions.Companies that supply building automation systems to control heating and lighting, for example, offer software for monitoring and controlling energy use. Other demand-response companies, such as Comverge, are also expected to expand into this field.At the same time, there are several start-ups, including Hara, C3, and ENXSuite, which specialize in managing energy, carbon emissions, and tracking other data such as water and waste. Oracle, SAP, and CA are among the established business software companies with products in this area.U.K.-based research company Verdantix yesterday released a report on energy and carbon management software where it evaluated 28 companies. It forecast rapid growth in 2011 for sustainable business software because of unpredictable energy costs, greenhouse gas regulations, and more sustainability strategies in businesses.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Over the last few months there&amp;'s been plenty of buzz and speculation about Path, a hitherto &amp;''stealthish&amp;'' company that was founded by long time Facebook employee Dave Morin, along with Shawn Fanning and Dustin Mierau. The company has raised funding from a very impressive list of investors that includes Ron Conway, Paul Buchheit, Keith Rabois, Ashton Kutcher, and a laundry list of Facebook alumni. And tonight, it&amp;'s ready for its big debut. You can grab the free app on the App Store right here.So what is Path In short, it&amp;'s a private photo sharing network a4&quot;a4sthink Instagram, but without the filters and with a privacy model that takes away any anxiety associated with sharing photos with people you don&amp;'t know.  It&amp;'s based around email addresses and phone numbers, rather than a public database of users. And compared to other popular social applications, Path is going against the grain: there&amp;'s no follow system and the friend system is also quite different from what you&amp;'re used to on Facebook.Path is using a system where you specify who exactly you want to share your photos with. After firing up the app, you&amp;'ll be asked to select contacts from your phone&amp;'s address book a4&quot;a4stap a few, and from then on, those contacts will see your shared photo items in their feed automatically (they don&amp;'t have to accept anything, but they can block or temporarily &amp;8216'mute&amp;' you if they don&amp;'t want to see your content).a4sPath wants the entire experience to be personal enough that you won&amp;'t feel nervous about sharing your photos, so it&amp;'s limiting the maximum number of friends to 50. And note that there isn&amp;'t a request system to speak of a4&quot; it&amp;'s up to you to take thea4sinitiativea4sto share photos with the people you care about. Of course, you can still pester your friends in real life should they forget to share their content with you.Path is taking a unique approach to a few other areas of photo sharing. The first is a feature called &amp;8216'Seen&amp;'.  If I share a photo with my friends, I&amp;'ll be able to see which of them has actually seen my photo. Yes, that sounds a little weird, but remember that the idea is that these photos are being shared with close personal friends. Morin says that this helps skip the initial &amp;''Hey did you see that photo&amp;'' question that&amp;'s common when friends talk about content shared on social networksa4sa4&quot;a4sthis way you can just jump right into a conversation about the content.The application is also omitting comments and captioning for now, in favor of tags. After posting an image, you&amp;'ll be asked to associate tag it with the people in the photo (pretty standard), its location (again, standard), and finally with a Thing the photo is associated with. This Thing component can be anything that&amp;'s associated with what you were doing. Taking a photo of your graduation dinner The Thing would be Graduation. Eating dinner at a thai restaurant The thing could be the dish you ordered. Path&amp;'s restrictive friending system is going to hamper its virality to some extent (the app won&amp;'t spam your whole address book of friends with an invite). But Morin contends that it will still spread between circles of friends. And there still is some virality a4&quot;a4swhen you add a friend to your Path who isn&amp;'t on the service yet, they&amp;'ll get an invitation in their email inbox.I think Path could find a solid niche a4&quot;a4sthere are certainly plenty of photos that I&amp;'m not comfortable posting on Twitter (usually because they&amp;'re boring if you don&amp;'t know the people in the photos). And Path would be perfect for that. But it&amp;'s going to have to rely more on word-of-mouth than any of its competitors a4&quot;a4syou won&amp;'t be seeing any tweets to photo on Path, for example a4&quot;a4swhich may make growth tricky.CrunchBase InformationPathInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Adobe chief executive Shantanu Narayen (pictured with chief technology officer Kevin Lynch) today denied reports that he has been negotiating with Microsoft about a possible acquisition.The New York Times reported last month that Narayen met with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to talk about an alliance against Apple, which might include an acquisition. Speaking on-stage at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, Narayen said the discussion really focused on &amp;''how we can be a great ISV&amp;'' &amp;8212' in other words, an &amp;''independent software vendor&amp;'' reselling Microsoft products. Interviewer John Battelle suggested that the key word there was probably &amp;''independent&amp;'', and Narayen replied, &amp;''Absolutely independent&amp;''. (The Times later reported that the discussions did move past the preliminary phase.)So why the rumors of a Microsoft acquisition gave a big boost to Adobe stock, Battelle asked. Why do investors like the idea of a Microsoft-Adobe acquisition Narayen responded that acquisition rumors always send the supposed acquiree&amp;'s stock price up.&amp;''It&amp;'s just the nature of the beast,&amp;'' he said.As evidence that Adobe has a future as an independent company, Narayen said Adobe is having &amp;''a phenomenal year&amp;'' and is on-track to grow revenue 25 percent this year compared to last year.Beyond the finances, one conference attendee discussed how Adobe has changed. The questioner argued that the Adobe he became a loyal customer of 10 years ago is not the Adobe of today, and he asked Narayen how he sees Adobe&amp;'s identity now.&amp;''We will continue to change the world through digital experiences,&amp;'' Narayen said.Next Story: On the GreenBeat: Thin-film solar&amp;'s prospects look dicey, Nissan to sell 500,000 electric cars by 2013 Previous Story: RIM&amp;'s BlackBerry PlayBook blazes past Apple&amp;'s iPad in browser speed tests (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Web 2.0 SummitCompanies: Adobe, MicrosoftPeople: Shantanu Narayen          Tags: Web 2.0 SummitCompanies: Adobe, MicrosoftPeople: Shantanu NarayenAnthony is VentureBeat's assistant editor, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[The march of the subscription models continues! We''ve already seen a wide variety of products offered by subscription over the past year or so, from luxury women''s panties to limited-edition art. One we came across recently, however, adds a slightly different twist by replacing curation with hand-picked customization.Just the Right Book is a yearly gift subscription service from Connecticut indie bookstore R.J. Julia that sends a new book to the recipient every month, every other month or quarterly. Gift-givers begin by indicating the age group of the person to whom they''re giving the subscription a4&quot; child, teen or adult a4&quot; as well as the frequency with which they''d like the books to be sent and whether they prefer hardbacks, paperbacks or a mixed selection. They then answer a few basic questions about the reader''s interests, favourite books and preferred genres, as well as a reading level for kids. Just the Right Book will then hand-pick, gift-wrap and deliver the first book in the subscription based on that information.Along with that first delivery, however, will come information about the service''s Recipient Center, which enables those on the receiving end to provide more information about their reading preferences, make specific requests and offer feedback. In that way, the subscription gets refined over time to better reflect the reader''s tastes. Yearly subscription pricing begins at USD 49 for quarterly delivery of kids'' books in the paperback format. International delivery is available, and satisfaction is guaranteed. In fact, if recipients ever receive a book that they don''t like or have already read, they can exchange it for another selection. Such is the quality of the service''s selections, however, that Just the Right Book''s return rate is reportedly less than 4 percent.It''s one thing to offer a functional product by curated subscriptiona4&quot;or to use a recommendation engine for personalization, the way Netflix does. But when you can deliver a manually personalized selection on a recurring basis, dead-on quirks and all, that''s when you begin to amaze and delight. Offer that in movies, and Netflix will have to watch out. Offer it anywhere, and ramping up will be your challenge. One to be inspired by!

<description><![CDATA[The march of the travel sites continues! Much the way Adioso aims to open up travel search to broader possibilities through a natural-language interface, so Wanderfly seeks to offer a4Atravel inspirationa4 by offering tailored recommendations in just a few clicks.Launched just last week, Wanderflya4a4s streamlined interface focuses on three simple variables: the user''s budget, timeframe and interests. Icons representing specific themes help represent interests a4&quot; which can range from food and culture to a4Aeco-friendlya4 and nightlife a4&quot; and users can keep their destination options completely open or limit them to a particular region or city. Wanderfly then searches 22 trusted sites a4&quot; including Expedia, Foursquare, Yelp and Lonely Planet a4&quot; to recommend a trip complete with destination, flight, hotel and activities. Travelers may customize these options and book through Expedia, or they can flip to the next suggested trip. They can also connect through Facebook to locate friends in any of their potential destinations.Now in beta, New York-based Wanderfly currently features more than 1,200 global destinations, with more to come. It''s also working on an iPad application as well as concierge packages, restaurant reservations, travel products and event tickets. In addition, Wanderfly plans to add more user-generated content, group-planning tools and a widget for outside travel parties to integrate into their sites. Clearly, there''s still plenty of room for innovation in the travel search arena a4&quot; one to be inspired by, in more ways than one!

<description><![CDATA[Twitter late last week filed a UDRP complaint, notably its first ever since the company was founded, in an effort to obtain ownership over the (currently parked) domain name twittersearch.com &amp;8211' as you can see here. Obviously, Twitter is right to do this, since the domain is likely to cause some confusion, although we should note Twitter hasn&amp;'t managed to secure a trademark for the term &amp;8216'twitter&amp;' in the United States so far, despite multiple attempts.Update: my bad, they haven&amp;'t had any success in getting a trademark on the word &amp;8216'tweet&amp;', but they do own the &amp;8216'twitter&amp;' trademark.Twitter of course has a popular search product that bears the obvious name Twitter Search, so I&amp;'d do the exact same thing if I were them.That said, they took their sweet time to make the move &amp;8211' twittersearch.com was first registered back in March 2007. A quick WHOIS search reveals that the owner of the contested domain name has opted to hide his or her identity, and the domain name is currently inactive, leading to a placeholder page riddled with ads.Next up, twitter-search.comUpdate 2: DomainNameWire on &amp;8216'Why Twitter Singled Out TwitterSearch.com&amp;'.

<description><![CDATA[Nokia, the Finnish cellphone maker, said on Tuesday that it will delay the rollout of the E7 smartphone to early 2011, missing the holiday shopping season.Originally, the enterprise user-oriented smartphone was meant to be out in December. According to Nokia, the company is pushing back the release of the phone to ensure a4Athe best possible user experience on the E7a4.Nokia&amp;'s previous high-end smartphone, the N8, was also slightly delayed, and when released, the reception was less than excited, to say the least. The E7&amp;'s big claim to fame is its sliding mechanism and hardware keyboard, otherwise it&amp;'s basically the same as the N8. The N8 and E7 models are seen as flagships of the latest version of the Nokia-developed Symbian OS, which is struggling to stay relevant in a time when Google-owned Android OS and Apple&amp;'s iOS are gaining ground quickly in the smartphone OS market. (According to a recent Gartner report, Android will become the second-largest smartphone OS this year and possibly take over Symbian in 2014.)While the delayed releases of both models attest to the fact that 2010 has not been a high point for Symbian, Nokia is planning multiple upgrades to the OS in the next 12 to 15 months. According to a ComputerWorld report, Nokia will come out with four or five upgrades, honing the operating system with frequent improvements instead of major upgrades that are a long time apart.It remains to be seen if Nokia&amp;'s efforts are enough to regain lost territory in the smartphone OS market with Symbian, which is largely seen as a clunky operating system that is dragging the company down. Then again, the company is not betting all its money on the same horse, as it is launching its new MeeGo operating system sometime next year, which, if we are to believe the company&amp;'s SVP of Design, Marko Ahtisaari, will be something a4Aamazinga4. Just don&amp;'t hold your breath waiting for it, either.Previous Story: On the GreenBeat: Building controls M&amp;038'A off to a start with Schneider buys, BYD plans U.S. electric car launchPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, E7, iOS, meego, N8, SymbianCompanies: Apple, Google, nokiaPeople: Marko Ahtisaari          Tags: Android, E7, iOS, meego, N8, SymbianCompanies: Apple, Google, nokiaPeople: Marko AhtisaariVentureBeat has new weekly email newsletters.

<description><![CDATA[The age of the domesticated robot is upon us. Dream Bots showed off its Whee Me portable massage robot at the Consumer Electronics Show this week.The robot was one of many it the Robotics Zone at CES, which was populated by a large number of robots meant to service humans. It was like something out of an Isaac Asimov novel. It seems that robots are as popular as ever, especially when given a narrow task like the Whee Me&amp;'s job of giving you a massage.Judging by the crowd of folks standing around it, it was a popular gadget at the that illicited a lot of smiles and camera clicks. (And I suppose the crowd may have had something to do with the model who displayed it).The robot can give your body a gentle massage as it drives back and forth over your body. It&amp;'s smart enough not to fall off, since it has sensors that detect the edge of your body. One reviewer reported that it offered a light massage, not a deep one. The Israeli company says the robot will debut in the fourth quarter of 2011 and cost $69. Check out the video of the robot in action.Previous Story: Your eyeballs can be game controllersPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, robot massager, Whee MeCompanies: Dream Bots          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, robot massager, Whee MeCompanies: Dream BotsDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Last fall we covered Covestor Investment Management, a company that lets investors follow the trades of experts with their own managed funds. Approaching the topic with a like-minded spirit, San Francisco-based AlphaClone lets investors intelligently apply the publicly disclosed stock ideas of top hedge fund and institutional money managers.Also known as piggyback investing, cloning lets investors create a portfolio of stocksa4&quot;known as a a4Aclonea4a4&quot;based on the stock ideas of one or more fund managers at the time those ideas become public. The strategy has been found to outperform the overall market by a significant amount over time, AlphaClone says, so the company offers an online research service that enables investors to create customized clones and quickly determine via instant 10-year backtests if the strategies have added value over time. Investors can follow the stock picks of a single manager or a custom group of managers&amp;8212'AlphaClone currently tracks more than 280 in its database. Cloning strategies can be based on position size, recency or popularity, but AlphaClone also offers a family of Core Strategies that rebalance automatically via its investment accounts. Either way, once they find a good strategy, users purchase the stocks that the system suggests and rebalance quarterly when new holdings are disclosed. A YouTube video demonstrates the platform in action. A full membership on AlphaClone is priced at USD 99.95 per month' basic service costs USD 29.95 monthly. Users of the site''s free Guest Pass, meanwhile, get access to the a4ATop 3 Holdingsa4 clone strategy for any individual fund manager. Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and therein lies the dizzying power of the global brain. Just as the consumer crowds often come up with winning innovations, so it makes perfect sense to tap the expert crowds for investment guidance.
