Google Broadband Sought by Topeka, Boulder, Other U.S. Cities

March 4th, 2010 | No Comments

Google plans on testing one or more high-speed broadband networks in a select number of midsized U.S. cities, and has asked interested municipalities to provide information about their communities that will allow Google to make its decision. That has led Topeka, Kan., to change its name temporarily to Google, and other towns such as Grand Rapids, Mich., to launch massive social networking campaigns. Google, however, is choosing to keep its decision-making process under wraps.

Boulder, Colo.,
Aspen, Colo.,
Park City, Utah,
Grand Rapids, Mich.

Ford Loads 2010 Models with Safety, IT Bells and Whistles

September 14th, 2009 | No Comments

Ford Motor Co., like Avis in another wheels-oriented market, really is trying harder. In this case, we’re talking about IT and how the company is using more of it to help drivers get from one place to another in safety and comfort. Many of these new features are exclusive to its own product line.

The Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker made a stop in San Francisco Sept. 10 to show media members and analysts what they have planned for the 2010 vehicle year. As one might imagine, most of the IT-related features involve safety and Internet connectivity, ranging from on-board radar (to notify the driver of potential road hazards) to voice-activated information systems to programmable keys that limit the vehicle’s top speed and music-player volume levels for younger drivers.

Here is a click-through look at new IT features that will be available in Ford sedans, crossovers, SUVs and trucks this coming year.
