This article talks about the how green products actually doing in real market in our society and how consumer adopting green products in their demand.
Also this article might be predicting the green products future existence in comsumer demand, also it might be the begining of some new way of consumer behavior.
The interesting thing about this article was, the difference between consumer attitude towards to green product and their actual action towards are more less different. But I think new items in our life always take some to get used to it.

This article is about music engineering such as compressing size of the music. Imagine how many of us listen music everyday life. Compressing music size will be very helpful for many of us.
for me the interesting part of this article was compressing the size of the mp3 which said "
On the engineering side, this kind of information has led to improvements in music compression.
Most of us are familiar with the musical compression of an iPod, or other MP3 player. The basic idea with music compression is just to reduce the size of the file that you have to transmit or store so hundreds of songs can fit on a small device."

It will be very nice car without driver because I can sit in that car even I'm drunk or sleepy.
The catchy phrase is in the article was "The idea is that when you get to wherever you're going, you get out at the door, and the vehicle can then drive off, go into the parking lot, find a parking space, park itself and wait for you to contact it to come back and get you. So, it's a valet without the valet."
