ZERO-EMISSION CYCLES



The Future
Hydrogen-powered scooters, motorbikes that are faster to market than cars.

The Product
Intelligent Energy, a British firm relocating to California, has developed an hydrogen-powered motorbike, which is expected to sell for about $6,000. The motorcycle's fuel cell develops the equivalent of eight horsepower, good for speeds up to 50 miles an hour. The cycle has a range of about 100 miles on a tank of fuel. Currently, a hydrogen fill-up would cost about $3.

The Opportunity
The bike is so quiet it's kind of like riding a horse. The fuel cell itself can be pulled out and carried around like a small suitcase. The company says it foresees one day being able to use the same fuel cell for different applications, such as a boat.

The Problem
Few hydrogen filling stations. In California, there are 40 existing or planned hydrogen fueling sites and a goal for up to 100 by 2010.

KARAOKE SKYPE

Yet another new way to utilize Skype: have an out-and-out Karaoke session with your friends on other continents. Call it Skype-K.

This was exactly what 2 other friends and I did recently. Two of us were in Singapore, the third one was in London. We were doing the regular Skype chat to catch up on news (while also balancing checkbooks, checking email and surfing the Internet respectively).

One of us chanced upon the lyrics to the tune of a beer commercial - a song we all liked - and started humming to it in the background. Before too long, the other two were scrambling to find the words on lyrics.com to join in at the chorus!

A possible new business model for Skype: Offer Skype-K. Team up with SNOCAP (see blog below) to offer 2 versions of songs: midi-base or mp3. Charges can be made to one's Skype account ("...Girls, the next song's my treat!"). It would be a great use of ASCII text (lyrics.com) and Skype, and yet another possible revenue stream for Skype.

SNOCAP OPENS DIGITAL REGISTRY

The online music service SNOCAP is the latest venture of Napster founder Shawn Fanning. As of today, SNOCAP offers labels, publishers and unsigned artists the ability to deliver their music to consumers in a manner and scale never before possible. Content providers can easily manage all aspects of digital distribution through SNOCAP's database, which enables them to establish business rules and maintain full control of their content across multiple online retail locations.

Independent artists and small record labels can register their songs in the SNOCAP's Public Music Registry and receive payment when they are traded over SNOCAP-enabled retailers, including authorized peer-to-peer networks. At the same time, peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa and LimeWire could use SNOCAP to block unauthorized copies of songs and replace them with protected versions that can be controlled by their owners.

Three out of the four major labels (Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, and EMI Group Plc) have registered their songs with SNOCAP, as have larger independent labels like TVT and Rykodisc. The fourth major label, Warner Music Group Corp, might be in talks with SNOCAP.
