Electric Highway

I read this from Discovery Channel Magazine Feb 2010 (asia version I think):

 

“Imagine a future with no power plants and no electrical transmission lines, but plenty of cheap electricity delivered right to your door. Sound impossible? Not if we pave our roads with solar panels. The road would become both the source of electricity and the means of distributing it. This is the dream of Scott Brusaw, co-founder of Solar Roadway, a company based in the US state of Idoha. The dream drew a step closer to reality last August when the US Department of Transportation issued the company a USD100,000 contract to develop a prototype 13.4 square-metre panel. Brusaw hopes that similar panels will some day cover all 65,000 square kilometres of the nation’s roadways.”

Delayed Sleep

DelayedSleep is another click-and-run software that put your PC to standby/sleep after a preset delay time. Similar to TurnOffMonitor, it do not require any installation and consume less than 200 KB of your hard disk space.
You can set the delay time or sleep time of your PC by duration or by specific time.

TurnOffMonitor

Want to turn off your laptop's monitor without closing the lid? Don't want to use the power button of your LCD monitor to turn off your monitor? Now you have the solution!
TurnOffMonitor is a small size click-and-run software that do not require any installation and consume very small amount of you hard disk space (less than 500KB!). TurnOffMonitor is a software that turn off your monitor instantly after you run it.
This is the main window of TurnOffMonitor, which you will see after you run TurnOffMonitor.

4 Google in one page

Google is indeed very popular search provider. Maybe due to its popularity, Erty and Alex had created a website called www.googlegooglegooglegoogle.com when that page actually showed up 4 Google search in one page.
