<description><![CDATA[Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (bottom) and ThinkPad Edge E220s (top): both slim, both sleek.(Credit:Sarah Tew/CNET)Fancy a thin ThinkPad Lenovo's venerable ThinkPad brand may seem from a distance to look the same every year, since lately the interesting changes have been made under the surface lately. It's also a confusing landscape to navigate, even when you know what size you want. Case in point: the ThinkPad X1 and the ThinkPad Edge E220s. In one sense, they're completely different laptops. The X1 is a full-powered 13-incher, with a serious professional bent and durable construction. The Edge E220s is a smaller, low-voltage laptop, a 12.5-incher with a more reasonable price tag. And yet, in a number of ways, both ThinkPads are addressing the same market. Both have high-end design features: Dolby sound, updated raised keyboards with comfortable, concave keys, and multitouch clickpads. Both sell their design changes and thinness as advantages. Both choose glossy screens over matte. Which one's for you Let's compare.Lenovo ThinkPad X1Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220s CPU  2.5GHz Intel Core i5-2520M  1.4 GHz Intel Core i5-2537M RAM  4GB  4GB Storage  320GB, 7,200rpm  320GB, 7,200rpm Weight  3.8 lbs.  3.3 lbs. Screen size13.3 inches12.5 inchesBattery life205 minutes251 minutesPrice as reviewed$1,399$819 (via current Lenovo promotion)The ThinkPad X1 is a notable, stylish laptop that's heavier on durability and performance, but lighter on integrated battery life, portability, and affordability. 3.8 pounds isn't particularly light, and the longer width of the X1 offsets its sleek angled compactness, making it feel more like a MacBook Pro than a MacBook Air. The ThinkPad Edge E220s is lighter and has an edge in battery life, plus it's considerably more affordable. The smaller footprint helps it slip into a bag much more easily, and its dimensions feel more compact. It's not the modern powerhouse that the X1 is, but it's a more portable experience. Which catches your eye Does battery life matter more than CPU performance Does price trump all Sound off in the comments. Which would you choose Read our review of the ThinkPad Edge E220s.Read our review of the ThinkPad X1.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Apple is reportedly still ironing out details with publishers regarding an upcoming newspaper and magazine subscription service for the iPad and iPhone.(Credit:Business Wire )Apple is reportedly on the verge of launching a subscription service for paid apps, and the company appears to be ironing out some final details with publishers who plan to participate.A number of European newspaper and magazine publishers have been contacted by Apple and informed that they cannot offer free subscriptions foriPad editions through the upcoming service to customers already paying for a print version of their publication, according to a report in Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. In other words, once this subscription service finally launches, don't be surprised if your favorite magazine does an iPad edition and you have to pay for it again.The report says this will go into effect after April 1. The Belgian, Flemish, and Dutch publications quoted sound none too pleased. They're also unhappy that subscribers will have to go through Apple to sign up for any iPad-edition publications.Those gripes aren't new: the Financial Times said early last year its own discussions with Apple on the topic nearly fell apart over the issue of who owns the subscriber records, Apple or the publication.Apple has reportedly been working on such a digital subscription service for its mobile devices for more than a year. Many expected Apple to announce the service with the introduction of the iPad in January 2010. Instead, Apple only announced partnerships with book publishers who would sell books through Apple's iBooks store.The service was scheduled to launch next Wednesday, but as of last night has been delayed again for several weeks. Its official unveiling is set to coincide with the introduction of News Corp.'s The Daily, an iPad-only newspaper. The event will be held in San Francisco and Apple CEO Steve Jobs is scheduled to take the stage with News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bord Gis Energy, Ireland&amp;'s main supplier of natural gas, has just invested $1.3 million in OpenHydro, which manufactures tidal energy systems.Tidal power converts the energy of the tides into electricity using turbines attached to the ocean floor. OpenHydro and Bord Gis Energy have also formed a joint venture to build a utility-scale tidal farm, with a generation capacity of around 100 megawatts (MW), off the coast of Ireland. A further $1.3 million will be invested upon the completion of certain milestones in the tidal farm development. OpenHydro is already developing a 200MW tidal farm in the Pentland Firth, off the northern coast of Scotland.Tidal power projects have been in operation since the 1960s but tidal power has been traditionally been considered high cost in comparison with other forms of renewable energy. Additionally, the number of sites with sufficient tide velocities is limited. Wave power, which converts the motion of waves into electricity, is also not widely deployed. PG&amp;amp'E is currently testing new wave energy designs off Californiaa4a4s coast.This isn&amp;'t BordGis&amp;'s first foray into renewables. In 2008 the company set up an alternative energy research and development fund of $13 million.In 2009, BordGis acquired the wind generation assets of SWS Natural Resources, comprising 179 megawatts (MW) of operating wind farms and 450MW of development projects to be built over the next five years.Ireland has been investing heavily in renewable energy, mainly wind power, in recent years.One report estimates that the Irish wave energy resource could generate more than 6,000 megawatts of power, the equivalent of the nation&amp;'s peak electricity demand. The tidal energy resource is considerably smaller but could still supply 6 percent of the nation&amp;'s energy, based on 2010 consumption figures.  The Irish government has a target to bring 500 MW of ocean power (wave and tidal)online by 2020.Irish companies like Wavebob, Ocean Energy and Open Hydro are among the world&amp;'s leading developers of wave and tidal technology.Wavebob recently received a grant of $2.4 million from the US Department of Energy to prepare for a commercial-scale wave energy demonstration project planned for US waters in 2013.OpenHydro is based in Dublin, has 50 employees and $85 million in funding.Next Story: PrimeSense raises round for motion-control chips Previous Story: The Daily Show on the Verizon iPhone: Freedom!
