Check out some of the pictures on Inhabitat of the carbon neutral city, Masdar City in Abu Dhabi. Theres some more here as well. This city is planned to house 40,000 residents and hundreds of businesses and will house state of the art clean technologies and architecture. This place probably cost a fortune to build out so it is no surprise that it is located in the UAE.

This is a pretty neat video showing how one of Google’s datacenter works. I like how they have their own hard drive destruction tools to destroy the data on the hard drives as well as their own machines to crush hard drives into pieces.

This is an awesome idea that works well for guys. You can pee and wash your hands afterwards all in one spot! I am sure it would be a little wierd at first but I am sure people can get used to it easily. The water from washing your hands flows down to the bottom to rinse the urinal.
The idea is great for saving both water and space and I can easily see this idea implemented in Asia and would be great in small spaces. The idea was created by Yeongwoo Kim and is a iF Concept Design 2010 winning entry.
