Labs' Central Nervous System for the Earth project aims to build a planetwide sensing network: HP Labs Feature Article (November 2009)
In the first commercial application of CeNSE technology, HP and Shell will build a wireless sensing system to acquire high-resolution seismic data. By vastly improving the quality of seismic imaging, the new system will allow Shell to more easily and cost-effectively explore difficult oil and gas reservoirs. The ground-breaking solution will be delivered by HP Enterprise Services, and will include HP’s high-performance sensing technology, a recent breakthrough from HP Labs and the company’s Imaging and Print Group. The solution will provide a better picture of existing and alternative energy resources – allowing Shell to perform more targeted oil exploration and reduce their environmental impact.
It’s possible your Roomba has more to say online than you do. A new social network, MyRobots, hopes to be the “Facebook for robots.” The network allows users to connect their robotic devices, which can then post status updates like, “The cat is in my way” or “my bin is full.” Users can monitor their devices remotely and add to the capabilities of their robotics by connecting them to the site. This isn’t the first time robotics fans have attempted to give their devices personality and human-like traits.
Social Network for Robots Lets You Talk to Your Roomba

Twine : Listen to your world, talk to the Internet by Supermechanical — Kickstarter
In this week's column, Nick Booth must choose between two very different bandwagons... First came the dotcom boom. And I did nothing, because I didn't learn how to write HTML quickly enough. Then came the mobile apps wave. And I missed that, because I couldn't find any porn actresses, I don't understand gambling and I discovered that hiring developers was like herding cats (my friend actually managed to get hold of some Ukrainian code writers, but he had to fly out to Harkova before he could get them to finish the project they'd been paid for) On the front of one of them it says Machine to Machine communications (M2M).

Box Top | Broadband for Everyone
Our Mission Box Top's mission is to bring free broadband - "FreeBand" - to households globally by enabling an open and rich ecosystem whereby application providers subsidize the cost of broadband by directly reimbursing the broadband carrier for wireline or cellular connectivity. It's just like a toll-free "1-800" phone call -- except for bandwidth. Powerful Platform What if a carrier could use a suite of on-device apps (e.g., Android) to lower a consumer's monthly bandwidth bill while also improving access to high quality content?
