Apple's newest iPhone offers the holy grail of the cellular business: help for when you misplace the device. The Find My iPhone feature lets you locate it on a Google map and then make it beep until you pick it up.

...estimates have been made before, but the PNAS team drilled them down to greater detail. Using a simulation of global wind fields from NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System - a network of complex computer systems used to simulate and predict meteorology - McElroy and his colleagues could map the distribution of wind resources around the globe, then calculate how much electricity could be produced by tapping those breezes with current turbines, which can generate about 2.5 megawatts on land, and larger turbines that can generate 3.6 megawatts offshore. (Offshore winds tend to be stronger and more constant than...
