The photovoltaic power plant (which is a posh way of saying “lots of solar panels in the Sacramento desert”) currently being built by Recurrent Energy will generate 88MW, enough juice for 13,000 homes

Google and Microsoft will be plotting hard to outdo Apple’s voice product – which looks like a template for the future I grew up in the era of Tomorrow’s World , a time when I’d sit down in front of a 14-inch black and white portable TV in my room and watch a grainy picture about an impossibly distant the future. (Well, children, it was like Doctor Who, only less realistic.) From time to time, they’d talk about computers that were controlled via the awesome power of the human voice. And now, with Apple unleashing Siri as part of the core of iOS (on iPhone 4S at least), how are those impossibly distant futures looking

Sit back, relax and grab a cold one, because you’re about to take an aerial tour of the Serengeti, courtesy of that flying drone you’re staring at. Developed by Microdrones, this MD4-100 quadrotor was recently sent off to Kenya, where it gathered footage for a TV nature documentary produced by TBS Japan. By hovering over the terrain, the craft was able to get relatively up close and personal with zebras, elephants and other wildlife, without creating the same kind of disturbance that heavy duty, camera-laden trucks can wreak
