Ola electric scooter





Ola electric 
celebrated the 75th Independence Day of india by launching the new ola S1 electric scooter. The new Ola S1 is the most affordable electric scooter launched by the brand and has been priced at Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom). This makes the S1( basic modal) a massive Rs 40,000 cheaper than the S1 Pro variant. According to the brand, the pricing is introductory and is applicable to a limited number of units. Delivery for the first lot of the electric scooter is expected to commence from September 7. The Ola S1 is available in five colour options - Porcelain White, Jet Black, Neo Mint, Coral Glam and Liquid Silver,

Visually, the Ola S1 and the S1 Pro are similar and both the scooters even share the same platform. Where there is a noticeable difference is in their performance and range, as while the S1 employs a smaller 3kWh battery, the S1 Pro gets a 4kWh battery, though peak power output is identical at 8.5kW. The end result is that the Ola S1 has slightly slower acceleration and lower top speed. You can see the difference in performance and range in the following table:

The joy of Microsoft's 'avoid ghetto' GPS patent

Indeed, not so long ago, one lady  sued Google  because the directions its map offered led her (she believed) to be struck by a  car . Now Microsoft has been  granted a patent  that is designed to make its maps more pedestrian-friendly. Somehow, this patent has immediately been dubbed the  "avoid ghetto" feature . Someone seems to have already attempted a ghetto-related mapping exercise, in Ohio. (Credit:  CC JimBobThe Boss/Flickr ) The gist of it seems to be that Microsoft's GPS--which will  reportedly be inserted  into Windows Phones in the future--will use input from more varied and up-to-date sources in order to create suggested routes. Among these sources are crime statistics. Which has led  some to the thought  that this will somehow be an insult to poor neighborhoods. What is unclear, at least from my reading of the patent--which isn't written by anything resembling a human hand or mind--is what kind of crime statistics the GPS might choose to use. It's o

Microsoft says 'see ya' to CES (live blog)

LAS VEGAS--Microsoft has sung its  CES  swan song. The company announced plans last month  to walk away from the Consumer Electronics Show  after a nearly two-decade involvement with the confab and the organization behind it. That made tonight's keynote address from Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer the beginning of the end. Microsoft  didn't make any major announcements  (other than the fact that Kinect is  coming to Windows on February 1 ). But then, the company has said the timing of the annual confab doesn't generally align with its product news milestones, and that's the key reason it's bailing on the show. Microsoft talked up Windows Phone (its mobile phone operating system that's been getting some praise from the tech press), gave a look at some of the upcoming trim ultrabook computers running  Windows 7 , demoed some previously disclosed features of Windows 8 (which should debut toward the end of 2012), and touted its tile-based Metro interface.
