<description><![CDATA[Screenshot of the algae calculator's iTunes app version.(Credit:Texas A&amp;amp'M/iTunes)So, now there's even an app for planning your algae oil production.The Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&amp;M has a free &quot;Algae Production Conversion Calculator&quot; to help with producing algae crops. The app is free via the iTunes app store. There is also a Web-based version that can be used onAndroid and other devices.The app converts between grams per liter and grams per square meter. It also calculates the annual algae oil production possible for a given farm or site based on data that includes pond volume per acre feet, microalgae oil content, growth rate, and pond depth. The result is given in both a volumetric measure in algae oil gallon per acre-foot of water and an aerial measure algae oil gallon per surface acre.Texas A&amp;M also has a support page for app users.The app seems to have had a soft launch in December 2010, according to its iTunes app statistics. However, the app was just endorsed by the nonprofit Algal Biomass Organization in its June 1 newsletter. The app is also currently featured on Texas A&amp;M's Agricultural and Food Policy Center homepage.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Apple has released the anticipated OS X 10.6.7 update, after weeks of developer build seeds that were issued with no new features or fixes. The update is available in the normal versions of delta and combo updaters for both the client and server versions of OS X, and should be available via Software Update for most people. This update is especially important for owners of the new 2011 MacBook Pro systems because it addresses a graphics bug that caused hangs and crashes under heavy graphics load.File sizes in Software Update may differ from the size of the standalone updates, and can be different for various Mac models.You can download the standalone updaters from the following links:Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update (475MB)Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo (1.12GB)Mac OS X Server v10.6.7 Update (541.21MB)Mac OS X Server v10.6.7 Update Combo (1.15GB)Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update for early 2011 MacBook Pro (368.21MB)Apple has released a separate update for the latest MacBook Pro systems. As we noted earlier, these systems shipped with a graphics bug that caused hangs and crashes, and this update specifically notes that it &quot;improves graphics stability and external display compatibility&quot; in these new systems. Be sure that if you choose to manually install the update for your system that you choose this one if your MacBook Pro is a newly purchased one.In general, the OS update addresses reliability of Apple's &quot;Back to MyMac&quot; remote connectivity technology, fixes SMB (windows file sharing) bugs, and fixes minor issues with the Mac App Store that appeared in OS X 10.6.6.Beyond bugs and features, the update addresses numerous security concerns and flaws with built-in services, Apple's &quot;Core&quot; technologies, system utilities, and core details such as the kernel and filesystem handling. As with most security concerns, these were for issues where users could gain access to restricted files, cause arbitrary code execution, or otherwise change the system's configuration without proper authorization. Details on these can be found in this knowledgebase document.As always, be sure to fully back up your system before applying this update. Ensure you have a full and restorable backup of your system, and have addressed current issues with your system. Optionally you can run a general maintenance routine and unplug peripheral devices before updating your system. For more details on preparing for an OS X update, see this article.Questions Comments Have a fix Post them below or e-mail us!Be sure to check us out on Twitter and the CNET Mac forums.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 rounds out the top of the pack.(Credit:Lenovo)For larger laptops, CES 2011 seems to be more about gradual improvements than whole-scale innovation. Lenovo's newly-announced IdeaPad lineup updates seem to confirm this theory quite well: better processors, improved graphics, and Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0, an engineering tweak that Lenovo promises will offer extremely fast boot times. Though it can be pretty difficult to suss the differences out among the various lines of IdeaPads, we'll give you a rundown. The IdeaPad Y570 and Y470 lead the pack, with second-generation Intel Core processors, and GPU options including Nvidia's new GeForce GT555 switchable graphics. These laptops have 15.6- and 14-inch screens, up to 8GB DDR3 RAM, hard drives up to 1TB, and up to 64GB of SSD storage assisting the rapid-booting process. Multimedia features include Blu-ray drives and JBL speakers. The new Y series laptops also have a metallic finish and improved keyboards. The Y570d has Nvidia 3D Vision, and is an update to the Y560 we reviewed last fall, but it still uses polarized glasses instead of active-shutter glasses. CPU options range from a second-generation Intel Core i3-2310M up to a second-generation Intel Core i7-2620M. The Y series starts at $899, and will be available in May.The affordable G series has expanded to 14-, 15-, and 17-inch models. The IdeaPad G770, G570, G470, G575, and G475 use AMD graphics, topping off at the AMD Radeon 6370M (6650M on the 17-inch G770), and comes in AMD and Intel flavors: up to a Core i7 or an AMD Fusion Brazos processor. Hard drives cap at 750GB, and DDR3 RAM at 8GB.The IdeaPad Z570, Z470, and Z370 laptops &quot;are designed for consumers who desire a PC with features that can keep up with their exciting lifestyle,&quot; and come in fuschia, sky blue, and dark brown colors. Launched last summer, they slot between the G and Y series as midrange laptops. Optional Blu-ray drives and Dolby advanced audio lend the machine some entertainment-friendly appeal. 1,366x768 resolution displays, Nvidia GeForce graphics up to 2GB 525M, a maximum 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 1TB 7,200rpm hard drives round out the package. Processor options range from a 2nd Generation Intel Core i3-2310M to a Core i5-2520M.The IdeaPad V series is a small business-oriented laptop line with sharp edges and aluminum touches. The V570, V470, and V370 are 13.3-inch to 15.6-inch laptops with 1,366x768-pixel displays, second-generation Intel Core processors up to Core i7, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 1TB hard drives. The Z series updates start at $599 and will be available in April.Finally, the IdeaPad B570 and B470 are a new line, targeted for &quot;use at the office or while relaxing at home.&quot; To that end, they're a bit of a hybrid design between small business and consumer, with most of the same specs (second generation Intel Core processors, Lenovo Enhanced Experience) as the other laptops. The B series starts at $499 and will be available in April as well.Editors' take: Expect a ton of Sandy Bridge Intel Core i-series laptop updates all over CES' this is Lenovo's batch of updates, and the lines all seem too similar to one another to really discern differences. Too many letter lines, too much confusion: for 2012, our IdeaPad wish is for line simplification.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A cutaway of GM&amp;39's Electric Networked-Vehicle. (Credit:GM)The next stop for GM's Electric Networked Vehicle(EN-V) concept is the upcoming 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in January. In addition to its next-generation infotainment system, the carmaker will be showing off the three electric two-seater concepts it debuted at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai last March. The personal mobility vehicles are one-third the size of typicalcars, offer a 25-mile electric range, and are built on Segway's self-balancing two-wheeled PUMA platform. But the EN-V is more than just an upgraded Segway: it's equipped with drive-by-wire technology, and its carbon-fiber body is outfitted with GPS, distancing-sensing, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid communications technology that enables the EN-V to be driven either manually or autonomously. While autonomous drive will free occupants' hands for whatever time-wasting social media is popular in the future, the feature is designed to ease traffic congestion in dense urban environments, which will house the majority of the world's population by 2030, according to estimates. The following video shows one of the EN-V concepts in motion.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What started out as a simple idea to try to explore Russia&amp;'s emerging Internet technology over an afternoon event in Moscow quickly gathered momentum. Which is why, on Monday December 13, TechCrunch Europe is coming to Moscow, Russia, for our first ever TechCrunch Moscow (to be held in English). But we also decided that it would be awesome to have some Silicon Valley players attend virtually, either by video feed or via the telepresence equipment kindly provided by Cisco from their Valley offices. It beats traveling from the US.So this is an unashamed appeal: if you are Mark Zuckerburg, Steve Jobs or someone of that elite level, then we&amp;'d love you to appear on stage via video link. Let&amp;'s build some links between Russia and the Valley. Maybe Ron Conway or Evan Williams / Biz Stone is available We don&amp;'t know &amp;8211' that&amp;'s why we&amp;'re making this appeal. So, Ron, Biz, Steve or Mark &amp;8211' if you&amp;'re free, then contact TechCrunch Europe Editor Mike Butcher (mikebutcher AT techcrunch.com). Thanks.TechCrunch Moscow will be held at the first Russian private tech incubator, the Digital October Center, located in a historical manufacturing building Krasny Oktyabr (or &amp;''Red October&amp;'' / Aa4a4a4a4a4 Aa4a4sa4a4a4a4A in Russian).  You can buy tickets here and attendees will enjoy a full day packed with speeches by the leaders of the industry, networking opportunities and a chance to preview promising Russian tech startups.Co-organised by TechCrunch Europe together with Kite Ventures and Telemarker, our partners have also put together a dedicated event web site and a dedicated Twitter feed. We&amp;'ll be using the hashtag TCMoscow.The conference will focus on the key issues regarding tech entrepreneurship in Russia. TechCrunch Moscow is about supporting the startup and venture capital eco-system in Moscow and Russia. It&amp;'s also about uncovering the trends and the hottest companies and startups in the market right now. Speakers include Arkady Dvorkovich, assistant to the President of Russia' Arkady Volozh, CEO of Yandex, Russia&amp;'s leading search engine' Annelies van Den Belt, CEO of SUP/Livejournal' Semyon Voinov, founder of Zeptolab and creator of &amp;''Cut the Rope&amp;''' Demyan Kudriavtsev, CEO of Kommersant' Oskar Hartmann, founder and CEO of KupiVip, and many others.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[President Obama praised Apple chief executive Steve Jobs as an example of someone who has lived the American Dream and earned his wealth.Responding to a question from CBS reporter Mark Knoller, who asked about the divide between the middle class and the wealthy, Obama said it was a fact that the top 1 percent or even a smaller slice of the population have a larger proportion of the income share than at any time since the 1920s. Then he added that everyone should &amp;''have a shot at the American Dream.&amp;''He added, &amp;''That should be what wea4a4re focused on. How are we creating opportunity for everybody So that we celebrate wealth. We celebrate somebody like a Steve Jobs, who has created two or three different revolutionary products. We expect that person to be rich, and thata4a4s a good thing. We want that incentive. Thata4a4s part of the free market.&amp;''The comments came as part of a discussion about the extension of the Bush tax cuts, which included tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The President angered many Democrats by supporting the extension of the full range of cuts.Obama actually met with Jobs in October to discuss the economy, innovation, technology and education. Jobs should realize that he has a historic opportunity to influence the President.White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs also said, a4AThey discussed American competitiveness and education, especially reforms such as the presidenta4a4s Race to the Top initiative. They then talked about energy independence and ways to increase job creation.a4There&amp;'s no question that Jobs has created a lot of jobs, since Apple&amp;'s ranks have swelled with the successes of the iPhone and iPad. Apple has also created returns for its shareholders. The subtext here is that Americans who don&amp;'t earn their wealth should be looked down upon.Obama also brought up his conversation with 20 top CEOs on Dec. 16, when he met with likes of Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, and Intel CEO Paul Otellini.&amp;''All of us have to be in a conversation with the private sector about what&amp;'s going to ensure that we can export and sell our products instead of just buying exports from someplace else,&amp;'' Obama said. &amp;''How do we make sure that the green technologies of the future are made here in America And how do we get all these profits that companies have been making since the economy recovered into productive investment and hiring That&amp;'s a conversation that I had with the 20 CEOs who came here, and that&amp;'s a conversation I expect to continue in the months ahead.&amp;''Next Story: Hulu gets more YouTube-like with playlists Previous Story: When Tesla&amp;'s lockup expires Monday, will its stock drop Short sellers think soPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iPad, iPhoneCompanies: ApplePeople: Barack Obama, Steve Jobs          Tags: iPad, iPhoneCompanies: ApplePeople: Barack Obama, Steve JobsDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
