To record time-lapse scenes of a recent Aurora, Terje Sorgjerd traveled to and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park in Norway - bordering Russia [70 degree north and 30 degrees east.]
Temperatures were around -25 Celsius.
His mission is to record moving time-lapse sequences with still images captured on a full frame DSLR and 3 lenses: - two wide zooms, and one 24mm f1.4 prime.
There's a 814ms delay between the shots, with exposure times that range from 1 second to 2 seconds.
For power in the cold temperature, he chose a 12v 9800mAh CCTV battery that he gets 50+ hours of juice for the track's motor. His coffee thermos runs out before the battery does.

http://appinventor.googlelabs.com Google App Inventoris an application provided by Google that allows anyone to create software applications for the Android OS. It uses a graphical interface, very similar to Scratch and the StarLogo TNG user interface, that allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on the Android system, which runs on many mobile devices. The application was made available through request on July 12, 2010, to later be released publicly on December 15, 2010. The application is aimed towards people who are not familiar with computer programming, such as elementary school students and hospital nurses. The reasoning is that if young people develop applications to fulfill their own needs and install them on their own phones, they will more likely use the phones more often, or switch to the Android OS if they are not already using a phone that runs the system (via Wikipedia.org)

Google is getting ready to change the operating system landscape with their new Chrome OS. Now all your documents will live on the cloud, not on your computer. As part of the roll out, Google is giving away their Cr-48 Chrome notebook to select users who apply for the pilot program in exchange for your promise to use it and provide feedback. They also want your o.k. to use your feedback in advertising and your o.k. to anonymously watch everything you do with the notebook.
