Those clever Japanese scientists have been at it again, working hard to find answers to problems we never knew existed. This time, they’ve come up with a way to convert dirty old normal cars into clean, green electric vehicles.
The breakthrough comes to us courtesy of the Total Mobility Project, a scheme intended to prepare for the rapid aging of Japan’s population and led by the local government of Fukushima Prefecture, which lies 300km north of Tokyo.

While most of the laptop makers are busy popping out Santa Rosa-equipped laptops in the market, Acer seems to have some different plans. The company’s design team has worked with BMW Group Designworks USA to launch four new luscious, glossy laptops that come with a lustrous interior. The new lineup dubbed Gemstone includes four new models, the Aspire 5720, the 5920, 7720 and the high-end 9920. The last one rocks a 20-inch display, camera, digital TV tuner and HD DVD drive. Moreover, these four machines are the first to incorporate Dolby Home Theatre Virtual Surround-approved while a few of them will come with the option of Intel’s TurboMemory technology codenamed Robson. Forget the innards; the only thing that Acer wants here is to offer its customer some beautifully designed machines. There is no word on pricing at the moment.

Generally we reserve this feature for already-released consumer products, but with everyone now the proud owner of “the last gadget I’ll ever need,” we figure that we’re forced to look in a new direction for devices to collectively critique. And with the hundred-dollar-and-change OLPC XO finally in full-scale production, what better candidate to help us stray from the traditional format? Keep in mind, though, as you’re tearing the charitable unit apart, that it’s not really meant for the readers and writers of Engadget (at least not yet), and therefore you’re gonna look pretty silly suggesting Alienware-esque specs for a project whose goal is financial prudence. That being said, there are still a number of changes we can think of that would benefit the kiddies while still keeping the green plastic wonder under budget. Like, how about a keyboard with some tactility that one can actually touch type on? And while we love the philosophy behind open-source software, the sad truth is that you need to at least be familiar with Windows in the business world — and with Microsoft offering $3 basic installs to developing countries, why not let these machines dual-boot? Finally — and this one is for you conservative types over at the News Agency of Nigeria — NickNeg and friends should probably stop wasting time with those ineffective filters and simply make the machines incapable of displaying flesh tones instead.
