The Compact Low Emission VEhicle for uRban transport is a new vehicle prototype from BMW and the University of Bath. It's a three wheeled, semi-motorcycle that runs on compressed natural gas, gets 108mpg and can cruise at 80mph.
This was one of Time's best inventions of 2006: http://www.time.com/time/2006/te...

WikipediaFS allows you to mount a MediaWiki-based site on your Linux box, just as if it were a normal directory structure.
This means you can view and edit Wiki entries with any old text editor and they will be automagically updated on the Wiki.

"Here's a common scenario: you need to make an emergency remote desktop connection to an XP server at work, but you're at home and the server is behind a firewall that blocks RDC connections."
"Using Putty (a rockstar ssh client for Windows), you can easily set up a tunnel for accessing RDC on your firewalled server."

At the end of May, Dell will begin selling desktop oriented Linux machines, built on Ubuntu's Fiesty Fawn release.
IBM and Redhat have done a lot in the server space, so it's going to be really interesting to see Linux make some headway in the general-purpose, desktop world.

Silverlight is Microsoft's entrance into the rich web presentation platform. People are describing it as MS's attempt at a Flash replacement.
Tim Sneath, an MS evangelist, gives a pretty good overview on Silverlight in this article, describing it's main features.
What I think it particularly interesting, is that Silverlight is platform agnostic. You don't need a Windows server to deploy it, and you don't need a Windows client to view Silverlight content. Definately a smart move for MS and a preferred direction compared to Vista's closed platform mentality.

Here's some documentation on reskinning the FrontRow interface to look more like the AppleTV UI.
Supposedly, Apple's lawyers have given the author a C&D for images and assets that were posted to make this easier. No reason you can't retrace his steps and do it yourself, though.

A good forum for everything mac-hack related. There's a decent project section that's been mentioned a few times recently in larger publications for some of their work toward unlocking features in the Apple TV.

A comprehensive howto on getting the AppleTV software to run on an Intel mac in place of FrontRow (or the Finder if you desire).
This includes tricks for making it load local media and quit with a specific mouse click (normally there is no way to exit the apple tv app).
