Google’s mobile payment system Google Wallet is available for public

You’ve probably heard about Google Wallet, a new mobile payment system developed by Google that was introduced in May. If you’re interested in Google Wallet, we’re glad to inform you that Google Wallet is now available for public use.

Google Wallet had been tested extensively during these last few months, and now it’s finally available to the public. As for the Google Wallet, it is available to all Sprint Nexus S 4G phones via over-the-air update. Currently Google Wallet works only with Citi MasterCard credit cards and the Google Prepaid Card. As for other cards such as Visa, Discover, and American Express, they will be added in the future versions of Google Wallet. Concerning the NFC stickers, there’s no word about them, therefore, Google Wallet is currently limited to Sprint Nexus S 4G users.

Google Wallet sounds innovative, and if you’re Sprint Nexus S 4G user and owner of a supported credit card, make sure you try it out.

Facebook is constantly working on new improvements, and in order to provide you with interesting stories and feeds from your friends, Facebook has decided to add several new features for its users.

In order to provide you with most popular and most recent news from your friends, Facebook decided to change its News Feed, and now both Top News and Most Recent buttons are forever gone. Instead, both of Top News and Most Recent news are combined into a single News Feed, but in order to deliver you the most interesting information, now you have Top Stories that are actually feeds from your friends that have small blue triangle next to them. Besides Top Stories, Facebook has introduced another feature called Ticker that is another feed located next to the News Feed, and it informs you about your friends’ activity in real time. In addition, if you put your mouse over a Ticker update, you’ll get a pop-up with all related information about that activity.

Facebook did a great job with this update, and if you want to stay updated at all times, or simply find the most interesting news, log in to Facebook to check this update out.

Video: See Windows 8 boot up in 8 secs

We’ve talked quite abit about Windows 8 recently simply because – Vista was horrible, Windows 7 much better but still not quite there, we’re hoping Windows 8 will live up to our expectations and this video below does show us one feature we want to see improved, check out Windows 8 officially boot up in this demo video in under ten seconds…




Microsoft achieves this quick boot by writing the kernel sessions to disk, essentially putting the computer in hibernation mode rather than shutting it down completely. This improves boot time by 30-70% since the computer doesn’t have to load all the drivers and services every time.

Sewage water powers fuel cells from electric cars

Cars have advanced a lot during the years, and now, cars can run on wine, cheese, and chocolate byproducts, but that’s not all. According to the latest reports, cars will be able to run on sewage as well.

According to the latest research, sewage could be used to power hydrogen cells in electric cars, and speaking of which, this process is already taking place in Orange County sewage treatment plant where fuel cell-powered vehicles are filled up by using methane generated by wastewater. Most of the hydrogen that is generated in this process will be used to power the plant while smaller part will be sent to the fueling station for public use. As for the number of powered vehicles, this station should be able to power up to 25 to 50 fuel-cell electric vehicles per day.

As you can see, this process sounds great, but we wonder will other sewage treatment plants accept this method someday in the future?
