http://thewheeldeal.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2009/11/16/techno-toyota-2010-prius/
This article says that Prius is praised by the author. His rules for the automobile industry is to never judge a new car based on the company's preview. In short, you can not know a real good point of car without riding on it. The author judged new prius to high quarity one.
I have driven prius only one time. The quarity very suprized me, so "Don't judge the book by the its cover!' Do you try to drive it!

Water Ice Hides In Moon's Dark craters
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120399296&ft=1&f=1001
There are some water in the moon! NASA has new evidence that dark craters on the moon contain ice! A project to research existence of water in craters is called LCROSS mission. This mission sent a rocket to craters to crash and analyze dust and debris soaring up by explosion.
Yes. The moon is not dry completely.
I think this discover is very important. Because water is needed to existence of life. It might not be in the moon, but it might appear suddenly after a millions of years. Some commentator say that is great discovery too, and this evidence shows great potential for both space development and more terrestial problem solving.
I think so!

The Dirt On Dust
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120252957
Briefly speaking, quite a few dust exist around you. In this article two researchers study dust. They are interested in "Where does dust come from?" and "What is dust? Does it affect us?" I think that dust come from anywhere and kind of dust is difernt by place it comes from. So it's no use worrying about it because we can not see most floating dust. I'm glad not to be able to see tiny dust.

Nov. 11, 1930: Einstein Gets Ice Cold
http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2009/11/1111einstein-szilard-refrigerator
Nov, 11, 1930 is the date Einstein who is one of the greatist phisicist receive an American patent for a new kind of refrigerator. This mechanism is differnt from modern refrigerator. It doesn't need freon or electricity, so it uses ammonia, butane, and water instead. This idea is great for no freon and no electricity. However, Einstein's design isn't very efficient at cooling per unit of energy input. Now, other team is improving this system. I respect Einstein, I think this system is very nice, but if ammonia is used to refrigerator, I don't want to use it. I worry about heavy accident as the gas is leaked. Because ammonia is very dengerous chemical compound as everyone knows. Ammonia gas is very bad smell!!. Do you think so?
