This New Model For How You Use Electricity Could Save You Big. Many utilities charge more for power during the day, when most people are using the grid, and less at night, when people are asleep. So, if you want to cut energy consumption, it makes sense to switch more activities to the wee hours. Ford already offers a "value charging app," so its plug-in vehicle users can automatically charge up when the price is lowest.

But the car-maker isn’t satisfied with that part of the energy bill, only. It also sees a role for itself with other appliances, too--say washing machines, or home heating systems. The company’s "MyEnergi Lifestyle" is an alliance with appliance giant Whirlpool, solar panel supplier SunPower, smart-meter-maker Infineon, thermostat startup Nest Labs, and power management supplier Eaton, to see how much consumers could save by optimizing their equipment and using the cheapest electricity. The answer: a lot. Ford’s initiative shows how carmakers could play a role in home energy management. Qunb - about. Looking up figures on the web doesn't work.

Mike McCue (Flipboard) : "Flipboard lance son édition locale pour iPhone et iPad en France"

Pouvez-vous nous expliquer le fonctionnement de Flipboard ? Flipboard est un magazine social qui permet d'apprécier les informations, les statuts et les photos partagés sur les différents réseaux sociaux tels que Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn... L'application agrège également les informations diffusées par les médias qui ont été sélectionnés par le lecteur.

Comment expliquez-vous le succès de Flipboard ? Ayant fait partie de l'aventure Netscape dans les années 90, j'ai connu presque toutes les évolutions du Web, les bonnes comme les mauvaises.

With Data Viz And GPS, Fuseproject Remakes The Game Of Golf. Cyclists have Strava. Skiers have EpicMix. Even casual athletes have devices like Fuelband. Golf, on the other hand, is different. Chalk it up to the culture, the tradition, or the fairly small market of people who tee off with regularity, but golf has been fairly untouched by the advent of wearable technologies. Game Golf, a new technology that tracks your round and visualizes the results, is hoping to change that. Designed by Yves Béhar’s Fuseproject and backed by professional golfers Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood, the company launched an IndieGoGo campaign today. What took so long? Game is designed to supplement that behavior, and to socialize it on a broader scale.

“The device generates a data point every half second,” says Fuseproject’s Director of Digital and Brand Curt Collinsworth.

Sunrise for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad on the iTunes App Store.

Sunrise for iPhone: a next-generation calendar app plugged in to Facebook and Google. "I looked at my iPhone, and I don’t use any of the default apps anymore," says Pierre Valade. "Instead of Music, I use Spotify, instead of Notes, I use Evernote, and instead of SMS, I use WhatsApp and Kik. All these things are moving to the cloud, and every app is becoming more social. " But one app was different. "I looked at Calendar, and thought maybe the same thing was going to happen, but who's going to do it? " Valade asked. Two years passed, and some great apps like Fantastical launched, but none sought to change the way we think about calendars. These apps were intelligent, but they provided no context on the events you have coming up. Maybe it's because calendars are boring. Design / UI Sunrise began as a daily digest email that pulled in events from Google Calendar, Facebook, and Eventbrite.

At a glance, Sunrise looks like a creamsicle-flavored Google Calendar client. Sunrise for iPhone screenshots Previous Next View full Gallery Contextual events Moving the ball forward. Mailbox For iPhone Walkthrough.
