1} Now, I think this is great news. Hertz has announced that starting very soon (like next week), you will be able to rent electric cars. If you have wanted to try driving one, you may now have that opportunity. This may be a very big step allowing people to test a car for a few days to help make a large decision. http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/06/hertz-to-start-renting-all-electric-smart-fortwo-eds-next-week/

3) This is a video about the inner workings of Google’s data center, for those who might see that as interesting as a trip to the back gate of area 51. http://mashable.com/2011/04/22/google-data-center-video/

4) We covered passwords several times in the past. When I read this article going into the breaking of them I was sort of comforted and relieved by the difficulty, but not sure if that is dangerous thinking or not, I suppose time will tell. http://www.baekdal.com/tips/password-security-usability

5) Last link of the day, just an article about the tit for tat, Samsung /Apple law suit back and forth going on over phone design. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1379632/Samsung-sues-Apple-just-days-accused-slavishly-copying-iPhone-iPad-designs.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
