GoPro bringing high-def helmet cams to the masses, launching $180 HD Hero 960
If you want high-def footage from your lid you have more choices than ever, but if you’re on a budget there just aren’t that many. The 720p ContourHD is currently the best value at around $230, but we’ve received word from GoPro that the company is looking to under-cut that with the upcoming $180 HD Hero 960. We have scant few details about this new model, set for release this fall, but based on the name we’re guessing it’ll fall short of the current HD Hero’s 1080p and offer a maximum of 960p, which should be plenty of pixels for most extremophiles. We also have to figure it will continue with its predecessors boxy stylings, but we’d certainly be happy to see a somewhat sleeker redesign.

Incoming! The Sun Unleashes CME at Earth
Earlier this morning, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) witnessed a complex magnetic eruption on the sun. The joint NASA/ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) — a mission sitting at the L1 point between the Earth and the sun — also spotted a large coronal mass ejection (CME) blasting in the direction of Earth.

Damn, a bus you can drive under?? The USA is slippin…
China to build ginormous buses that cars can drive under
Seriously, this is the future that China’s envisioning: huge friggin’ buses engulfing smaller cars on the road. Despite the silly picture and the eccentric “3D Express Coach” branding, this cunning project by Shenzhen Huashi Future Car-Parking Equipment actually makes sense. The idea is to make use of the space between regular-size cars and bridges, thus saving construction costs as well as minimizing congestion impact by allowing cars to drive underneath these jumbo buses. Fancy hitching a ride? You better start planning your move to Beijing’s Mentougou district, which is where Huashi will commence building its first 186km of track at year’s end.

‘Blood Cell Phones’ Fuel War, Crime and Human Rights Abuses
This month, my colleagues have been giving you a glimpse of what the end of the life cycle often looks like for electronic equipment like cell phones, mp3 players, and old hard drives and monitors. It can make for grim reading. There are e-waste recyclers who don’t actually recycle, and there’s the fact that much of this stuff ends up in the developing world, where people often risk their health (and their lives) in pursuit of a few pennies’ worth of material to sell.

Twitter Wants To Play With The Big Boys

Twitter Opening Its Own Custom Data Center In Utah Later This Year
As you may have noticed, Twitter has had some reliability issues over the past few months. Part of this was related to the World Cup, part of it is because they just continue to grow at a fast pace — 300,000 new accounts are created a day now. It has gotten to the point where Twitter needs their own warehouse for tweet storage. So they’re building one, in Salt Lake City.
