The 4 Tesla Solar Roof Types

nawob — Sat, 29 Oct 2016 08:12:58 +0000

All four of the Tesla Solar Roof types (seems like they could be SolarCity products) are made out of glass, covering traditional photovoltaic cells. They are all unique, and actually look pretty amazing for a “1st gen” offering. The photos below show 4 real neighboring houses (not photoshopped renderings). See for yourself:

Tuscan

Slate

Smooth

Textured

The price is not yet clear, but Tesla claims it will cost less than a traditional roof when you factor in the savings from the solar energy created.

Throw in a $5,500 Tesla Powerwall 2 (also announced today) to store all that electricity your new roof is creating while you’re at it. Or grab two of them:

So what’s your favorite style? Think Tesla is on to something big here?

Only Google… Project Glass Product Demo

nawob — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:30:43 +0000

Only Google could pull something like this off – and nearly flawlessly. At the recent Google I/O conference, attendees were surprised when Google co-founder Sergey Brin showed up, and along with the Project Glass team put on a ridiculous product demo of Google Glass. After the demo the crowd was given the first opportunity to pre-order the new technology for $1500, due out sometime in early 2013. Unfortunately, unless you were there, you won’t be able to purchase the glasses for another couple years, at the minimum.

Doesn’t this demo sort of mimic Google’s audacity, and their somewhat recklessness as they continue to plow full speed into so many new endeavors? Somehow, they continue to succeed.

Riding out of the Bike Lane

Think this is fair, or illegal? Casey Neistat didn’t, and you won’t either after watching this video about being ticketed for riding a bicycle outside of New York bike lanes.

Google Adds Call feature in Gmail

nawob — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:56:11 +0000

Have you ever wanted to use Skype to call a cell phone, but didn’t want to pay for it? If you have a Gmail account in the US, you can do it now.

Google launched its latest service, called, erm… “Call phones from Gmail” yesterday. You’ll see it in your account soon if you haven’t signed in on your desktop.

I assume they’ll be adding this with video to Android based phones soon. Will there be any need for cell phone carriers once Google gives free wifi to everyone?

Oh, and if you got a call from (760) 705-8888 recently, it’s probably someone you know testing out the new service. So answer the phone next time.

Looks timid. Same with the person that found and touched this thing. I would be a bit nervous too.
