What we have here is the Biz Cafe – a concept targeted towards the
jet-set workaholics who need gadget ready environments even while
relaxing with a cup of coffee.

So yes, in the future we will need a semi-office environment, even in
cafes, so that we don’t lose out on work!

Residents of California can take a trip to Orange County and find the
world’s first sewage-powered refueling station. Located just off the
405 freeway, the station is located next to the Orange
County waste-water treatment plant in Fountain Valley. The hydrogen fuel
offers about 70 miles per gallon and the station can fuel up to 50
automobiles per day with the daily 120 kilograms of hydrogen gas
produced at the plant. In order to produce the hydrogen gas, sewage
is processed to collect methane. This methane is converted into hydrogen
and sent into a fuel cell to power the entire plant with 250 kilowatts
of electricity.

Chloe Holmes lost several fingers after a nasty bout of chicken pox
in her infancy. We’re not sure which hand was affected (apparently both,
but judging by the pic it’s the left that’s in worse shape). Until the
age of 15, she had to make do with dull prosthetic replacements. Thanks
to a sizable financial investment, Chloe has a new extra fully
functional hand. After spending 38,000 quid on a bionic hand, Chloe can
now consider herself a cyborg. In fact, she might want to start calling
herself Chloe Ironfist.
