Watch Out, Tesla: Nissan Has 56,000 Pre-orders for the Leaf EV
The electric vehicle startup has generated considerable excitement for the sort-of-affordable ($50,000) Model S EV sedan, scheduled to be released in 2012, but Nissan already has over 56,000 pre-orders for the 2012 Leaf EV--a $25,000 model that will have the advantage of being the first entry level-priced EV on the market.
Coda Automotive is planning to release its own $30,000 EV with a 90 to 120 mile range in 2011. Its time for Tesla to watch its back. The Leaf has some impressive stats: 100 miles on a charge with a top speed of at least 76 mph.

Breaking Into a Conversation Gracefully
Last week, I wrote a post about exiting a conversation gracefully that generated some buzz. Martin's Press in early 2011.
...Tags: Beyond commenting on the strategies and tips to help you get out of those awkward moments, many of you rightfully pointed out that breaking into conversations was just as perplexing, especially at networking events, conferences, and other forced-conversation forums.
There are two strategies that I recommend to ease in and out of group conversations effortlessly.

Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 Timetable Jump
According to sources in the know, the original timetable for the first Service Package for Windows 7 was to have been two years from the release date, which would make it October 2011. This is also a bit disingenuous of Microsoft, as each generation is supposed to deliver better performance or more features, and this delivers neither, as many small things (annoying to me, and a few vocal others) changed for the worse, and there is an entire website dedicated to the things removed from Windows Vista and then Windows 7, as compared to Windows XP. This is not to say I don’t like Windows 7 at all,

Big Music Will Surrender, But Not Until At Least 2011
The long term costs are horrendous - an entire generation or two of young music lovers feel no remorse at outright stealing music. By 2013 (maybe as early as 2011) it’ll make sense for the labels to finally reorganize their business models around the reality created by the Internet and person to person file sharing services. I had a surprisingly candid lunch conversation last week with a big music label executive, and a good part of our talk focused on the future of music. I

MSI Shows Off Next Generation AMD Platform
Though I’m still wondering why it is MSI and not Asus that’s debuting the next generation chipset from AMD, it is great to see the units exist, which usually means they will be delivered on time.
At some point in 2011, AMD 890FX will find its place to AM3R2 motherboards, and it is not clear today should boards based on first AMD 890 chipset support the upcoming Bulldozers.
The 890 main and 850 south chipsets are going to support all the latest cool peripherals, and the best of what is available.
The TechConnect site has the story, and a small picture of the MSI

The Death Of “Web 2.0?
8243; by 2011.
Also noteworthy: take a look at the geographic regions that have generated the highest volumes of worldwide search traffic for the term over the years - it’s Asia, with the top 5 regions being India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia (in that order). I’m not going to discuss the economic meltdown and its devastating effect on technology companies and internet startups in this post, but rather something that crossed my mind earlier this morning: “Web 2.0″ 8243; seems to become more and more a void (and an avoided) term.

CompTIA Gets Greedy
The changes are coming in 2011, which gives people time to get the last of their certifications guaranteed valid for life. Starting in 2011, however, new certs will expire after three years. The initial decision to retroactively invalidate certifications generated considerable anger among cert holders, which we described in today’s story on the fiasco . While on one hand their idea that things change, and certifications are not always an index of a person’s knowledge, it can’t help but be argued that pure, naked greed is the basis for the change in the policies of CompTIA.

Avatars in the Workplace
In fact, the Gartner Group predicts that 80% of us will use an avatar at work by the end of 2011.
Avatars generate a kind of fun that isn't the opposite of work — it's a reason that people will engage their work.
If The movie Avatar is a stunning and vivid depiction of a fantasy world unimaginable without serious help from a visionary director, 1,000 special effects artists, a $300M budget and a pair of 3D glasses. But there's one feature of the movie that's more realistic than you may think: the idea of using avatars in the workplace.
