The Iphone has revolutionized the way cell phones are perceived. With its wide array of features that include GPS navigation, Internet Browsing and touch screen interface, the Iphone has advanced the cell phone market. The Iphone was officially launched and available for purchase on June 29th, 2007. The phone became such an instant sensation that it was sold out almost immediately upon launch. The anticipation of the launch was so overwhelming that within a span of only 30 hours, over 270,000 Iphones was sold during that period of time.

One of the great features of the Iphone is the touch screen. The ease of simply touching the screen to complete commands was a welcomed feature for a cell phone. The liquid crystal display with scratch resistant glass also added to the allure of the Iphone. The Iphone is also considered to be a very interactive phone which means you control how you use its functions. The ability to pinch, expand, move up and down what you see on the screen are features that set apart the Iphone from any other phone on the market.

The United States Senate has voted on Coal-to-Liquid amendments. These are amendments to the Senate version of the Clean Energy Act of 2007. The purpose of the amendments is to help reduce America's dependency on foreign oil imports.

By investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources, the United States is also helping spur on the promotion of new emerging energy technologies, and help in developing greater energy efficiency. The Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewables Reserve was also created to invest in alternative energy.

GreenField Ethanol who is Canada's leading ethanol producer, just yesterday accepted its 100,000th delivery of corn to its Chatham Ontario plant. GreenField Ethanol gets its corn from local Canadian producers.

For the 100,000 delivery, local truck driver Gary Johnston of Wallaceburg, Ontario arrived early yesterday morning to deliver corn from the farm of Jim and Lorne Smith which is in Kent Bridge Ontario.

GreenField Ethanol President and CEO Bob Gallant said of the event, "Since our Chatham plant opened in 1997, GreenField Ethanol's success has been linked with the Chatham-Kent community. This 100,000th delivery of corn would not have been possible without our Chatham employees and the local farms and businesses that we work with on a daily basis, year in, year out. This milestone would not be possible without the local farmers and everyone in the Chatham-Kent community."

Announced today is the newly signed agreement by Tri-Vision International Ltd and Sharp Corporation for V-Chip licensing. The previous deal expired at the end of March 2007.

The FCC - Federal Communications Commission, has mandated a series of phased-in rules crafted to ensure that the V-chip can fully respond to any rating system changes in digital television receiver products by March 1, 2007. This comes as part of the transition to a digital television broadcast system in the United States. Currently, Tri-Vision's open V-chip is the only known patented technology capable of accepting modified or new rating systems.

"We thank Sojitz and Sharp for the long and successful relationship between our three companies for these many years, and we look forward to working directly with Sharp. We anticipate concluding a new agreement shortly that will run through the term of our U.S. and Canadian patents", Tri-Vision President Toshinori Ikebe said of the discussions.
