NYC Leading the Way In Hydrogen Powered Buildings
According to a new report on TreeHugger.com, more hydrogen powered buildings have gone up in New York City since 2005 than anywhere else in the world. These include two of the world's largest hydrogen-powered mixed use buildings, and the first residential hydrogen-powered homes. And a residential building is being planned across the Hudson that will be the largest hydrogen powered residential tower in the world. The cost per square foot is not as high as you might think, so hydrogen power (probably in combination with solar) may become increasingly common.

Room 77 Finds You The Best Hotel Room, Not Just Best Hotel
Travel planning is being kicked up a notch. Instead of just searching for the best hotel, you can now search for the best hotel room.

But most interestingly, is its tie in with Google Earth to bring you Room View, which simulates the actual view you would see from a particular hotel room.

HTC Incredible S Available for Pre-Order, Ships on 26th
We've just received word that pre-orders have just begun for the HTC Incredible S, a phone that's available exclusively through Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy in the UK, via their webpage at CarphoneWarehouse.com.

Either way, you'll be able to start picking up your phone on Saturday - of course, that's only if you DID get a pre-order in. Shipping for everyone else starts on Thursday, March 3, 2011.

New MacBook Pro: Dumped NVIDIA is the Biggest News
The new MacBook Pro range certainly doesn’t hold back when it comes to specifications, but in some respects it’s what’s missing from the updated notebooks that’s more interesting than what made the cut. I met with Apple this morning for a hands-on briefing with the new MacBook Pro line-up – stand by for some first impressions of the maxed-out 15-inch model – and one of the most conspicuous changes is the shift to AMD Radeon HD graphics on the 15- and 17-inchers.
NEC MEDIAS E-04C super-slim Android gets hands-on treatment
Almost as wafer-thin as the proverbial wafer-thin mint, NEC's MEDIAS E-04C has been well pawed in the wild at its launch event in Japan. Impress carefully fondled the 4-inch Android smartphone, finding its 7.7mm girth to be slightly spoiled by a bulging camera module, but when said-bulge includes a 5.1-megapixel camera, we won't complain too much.

iPad 2 Thunderbolt rumors reignite: More than just raw throughput
Apple's confirmation of Thunderbolt on the newly refreshed MacBook Pro range this morning could lend weight to speculation earlier that the new iPad 2 will have a Light Peak connection of its own. Examination of the various batches of leaked iPad 2 cases had led to suggestions that the mysterious opening on the top edge could be for a smaller-than-USB connector; that would certainly fit in with the Mini DisplayPort connection Thunderbolt has been confirmed to use.

Vodafone Galaxy Tab 10.1 hands-on
We’re no stranger to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, having given the Android 3.0 Honeycomb slate a good going-over while at MWC 2011 last week, but we didn’t turn down the chance of some one-on-one time with the Vodafone-branded version set to launch imminently. Sighted for the first time with the carrier’s logo getting up close and personal with Google’s own, the tablet still impresses with its lightweight build and XOOM-busting 8-megapixel camera.
