<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the guys in our office like to get in stupid fights about phones. Yeah I know they do it on the blog, but they also do it in private as well times 1000. It is essentially the song that never ends, with Mike Arrington and Jason Kincaid erring on the side of Android and MG well, sigh.Here&amp;'s Arrington&amp;'s take on one such fight that happened today:&amp;''Earlier this evening in the office Jason Kincaid and I, both Android users, asked MG yet again why he won&amp;'t admit the iPhone flaws. He said &amp;8216'As soon as there&amp;'s a better phone, I&amp;'ll buy that one instead.&amp;' I pointed out that the iPhone doesn&amp;'t actually make calls with any reliability, and he said, seriously &amp;8216'It doesn&amp;'t need to. I use the phone mostly for apps and browsing, not calls.&amp;'My response &amp;8211' if it actually made calls, perhaps that wouldn&amp;'t be true. He then threw something at me and stormed out of the office. True story.&amp;''While I&amp;'m sure it exists, I&amp;'ve never seen a girl get in a pissing match over a phone. But apparently our phone choices have become a huge part of our identity no matter what our gender, hence the above comic.And while I would not throw down for my iPhone 4, I have to say that the comic is pretty accurate, especially the dinosaur part.Thanks: Csectioncomics<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago we hinted at some of the personalization tools that Los Angeles based startup Gravity would be unveiling. Today they&amp;'re launching Twinterest &amp;8211' a tool that creates an interest graph &amp;8211' a list of things you probably love &amp;8211' based only on looking at your twitter stream.Gravity CEO Amit Kapur explained the product in detail in a guest post on TechCrunch today.To use it go to Twinterest and authorize it to access your Twitter stream. You may find it does a pretty good job of suggesting things you like. Mine includes Virgin America, &amp;''slap fight&amp;'' (no idea), Facebook, American Express (hah), Google Voice, Andy Rubin and Spotify. Also, Daniel Lyons, aka Fake Steve Jobs.You can help Gravity refine your interests by re-categorizing or removing any interests that don&amp;'t quite fit. For now this is just for fun. In the future, tools like this can help show you more interesting content and ecommerce items. Update: Oh! That&amp;'s the slap fight stuff. Very funny. Who doesn&amp;'t enjoy watching a slap fight, I guess.CrunchBase InformationGravityInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In retrospect, Tesla may have been cleantech&amp;'s Netscape moment. It didn&amp;'t get off to the world&amp;'s greatest start, but like a few other venture-backed IPOs, lately it has been trading at nearly double its opening price.Meanwhile, a few other cleantech companies have filed S-1s and several more are waiting in the wings, watching to see what the market does. To continue the Netscape analogy, 2011 could even see Elon Musk emerge as the new Jim Clark if one of his other companies SolarCity files, as some in the industry expect.Nat Goldhaber of the venture firm Claremont Creek Ventures argues that 2011 will be the year of the cleantech IPO, and it&amp;'s not just because of those handful of hot companies are finally ready for primetime and bankers are itching to take them out. Several factors are finally coming together including general improvement in the economy, soaring global demand for energy and a sense that more favorable cleantech regulation is inevitable, at least on a state level.Goldhaber joined me by Skype to talk about what sectors and companies could lead next year&amp;'s IPO wave and which company in his portfolio has him the most excited. (There&amp;'s also talk of jetpacks and robot butlers&amp;8230')<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[OnStar, which has more than 6 million customers using its emergency service in General Motors cars, said it will now sell its car communications network service as a retail product that can be attached to any car.While cars are becoming a hotbed for internet-connected technology, turning them into gadgets isn&amp;'t easy. OnStar&amp;'s service is embedded in a cool-looking rear-view mirror with a blue button. You press the blue button to initiate a call with OnStar and can then ask its operators for information or driving directions. Another button on the mirror can initiate a 911 call. The mirror can be attached to just about any car and will be sold in Best Buy stores.The company made the announcement at the start of the Consumer Electronics Show, which kicked off for the press this afternoon in Las Vegas. OnStar calls the new strategy OnStar Anywhere, which takes the service beyond General Motors vehicles.The mirror will sell for $299. Service plans will cost $18.95 a month or $199 a year. That gives you anti-theft, emergency response, hands-free calls and other services via an after-market product in retail stores.&amp;''Now we will be talking to a much bigger audience,&amp;'' said Chris Preuss, chief executive of OnStar.OnStar has more than 6 million subscribers who pay hefty sums for anti-theft vehicle location, emergency response, hands-free phone calls (initiated by pushing a button on the rear-view mirror) and other services delivered over the company&amp;'s OnStar network. OnStar uses Nuance&amp;'s latest voice-recognition for car communication. OnStar handles 10,000 911 calls a month and automatically unlocks about 69,000 doors a month for people who have locked their keys in the car.While the system is known for its anti-theft and emergency response capability, Preuss said that OnStar&amp;'s service does a lot more' its operators give 2 million verbal driving directions a month and verbal answers to 3 million verbal queries per month. It also launched new services such as a Chevy Volt app as well as a Facebook app.The company also announced today an OnStar connectivity app that works via Bluetooth short-range communications with your phone. You can send and receive text messages via voice commands. You can speak a text message and OnStar will send it. It can convert the incoming text message to voice and take the volume of your car radio down at the same time. It uses Android 2.2 version phones or higher. OnStar will also have a relationship with Verizon Wireless on its 4G network.Next Story: Qteros raises $22 million for ethanol production, inks developmental partnership Previous Story: Facebook CFO explains Facebook to Goldman employeesPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, OnStar serviceCompanies: OnStarPeople: Chris Preuss          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, OnStar serviceCompanies: OnStarPeople: Chris PreussDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[The Department of Energy has finalized a $343 million loan guarantee to develop a 500-kilovolt transmission line in northern Nevada that will connect the state with renewable energy sources.Transmission lines and infrastructure that enable renewable energies to get to customers are a crucial part of the cleantech sector. They&amp;'re&amp;nbsp'particularly important for developers of large-scale renewable projects, which need lines to transmit electricity across the state or even over state lines in order to build a wind farm or solar installation. We wrote last year about a handful of efforts that were made in 2010 to construct transmission lines to service and enable wind energy projects in Texas, the Atlantic Coast, and the southern U.S.This particular line, called the ON Line project &amp;8212' short for One Nevada Transmission Line &amp;8212' will have the capacity to carry about 600 megawatts. The loan guarantee is supported by the Recovery Act and is the DOE&amp;'s first loan guarantee for a transmission project.a4AAs our country increases its use of alternative energy sources, new transmissions lines like the ON Line project will play a vital role in moving clean energy from one region to another,a4 said DOE Secretary Steven Chu in a statement. a4AThis project will create jobs, increase the reliability of the grid, and save money through greater efficiencies in the grid.a4The line is jointly owned by Great &amp;nbsp'Basin Transmission South and NV Energy, a Nevada utility that has been pursuing the smart grid aggressively lately. It recently chose Control4 to provide a residential demand response program, a smart grid-enabled feature that allows utilities to offer financial incentives for customers who agree to reduce energy use during peak times. NV Energy is also working with IBM on a smart grid and meter deployment and systems integration, backed by $138 million in stimlus funds.[Image via Flickr/BFS Man]Next Story: Who invented cloud gaming T5 Labs tangles with OnLive (exclusive) Previous Story: On the GreenBeat: Solar and wind prices drop, Solar Junction hits efficiency milestonePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Solar, transmission, windCompanies: DOE, Great Basin Transmission South, NV EnergyPeople: Steven Chu          Tags: Solar, transmission, windCompanies: DOE, Great Basin Transmission South, NV EnergyPeople: Steven ChuIris Kuo is the VentureBeat's lead GreenBeat writer.
