What killed the Kin? Microsoft has announced that the Kin is gone. “We have made the decision to focus exclusively on Windows Phone 7 and we will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones.”

posted February 23, 2010
This article by Fast Company reveals that some airlines have progressed further on the issue of recycling than others. With recycling grades ranging from B- to F, find out if your favorite airline recycles and what you can do to encourage them to improve their grade.
“According to a report from Green America, most of the 881 million pounds of waste generated each year by airline passengers isn’t being recycled.” Green America asks, “if you are flying over the next year, whether domestically or internationally, please ask your flight attendant or check-in personnel about what will actually get recycled from the flight.” Then, complete a survey provided by Green America to use in a follow up report on the industry.

Google Proposes Universal, Ultra High-Speed Internet Access
posted February 11, 2010
On Wednesday, February 10th via the Official Google Blog, Google announced, “We’re planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We’ll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.”
According to an article in The New York Times, “Critics say that Google’s move is little more than a public relations effort aimed at promoting its policy goals. They say that by spending relatively small sums, Google would be, in essence, pressuring the telecommunications companies that provide broadband access to millions of American homes to abide by Google’s rules.”
In a statement reported by Reuters, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said, “big broadband creates big opportunities.” The FCC is about a month away from submitting a national broadband plan to Congress. Google’s “significant trial will provide an American test bed for the next generation of innovative, high-speed Internet apps, devices and services.”
