Mashable - We've just entered the Year of the Dragon, but Super Bowl 2012 is shaping up to be the Year of the Dog.
No less than five of the ads featured in Unruly's list of Super Bowl ads with the most traction star dogs, including the early favorite -- Volkswagen's "The Bark Side." It's not hard to figure out why: Just like no stockbroker ever got fired for buying IBM, no chief marketing officer is going to get canned for featuring a pooch in their Super Bowl ad.

Mashable - If you're looking for a new job, but you're also a friend of the environment, there could be a perfect position for you in the tech sector. More than ever before, tech companies are committed to sustainability -- they're developing greener devices, increasing the life cycle of products and developing meaningful partnerships. In fact, seven of the top 10 green companies are in the tech sector, and IBM leads the way, with a greenscore of 82.5%.
This year, there will be more than 3 million green jobs in America, helping the "green economy" surge past the "regular economy." Another benefit of going green in the job hunt? It can also bring you more green -- wages are 13% higher for green jobs than for the average American job.

Mashable - European Internet users may be getting better control over information posted online, thanks to some proposed sweeping reforms lawmakers proposed Wednesday designed to protect digital privacy.
The suggested law calls for a "right to be forgotten" and a "right to data portability." The former would require Internet companies such as Facebook and Google to completely wipe all of a user's info from their servers if such a request was made. The latter demands users be allowed to easily transfer data from one online service to another, a currently difficult task.

Digital Trends - There is a lot that goes into making a house green, and we don’t mean just slapping a coat of paint on it. Building an energy efficient home is hard enough, let alone maintaining a home that doesn’t harm the environment by wasting resources and over consuming energy. Little things like switching off the lights and adjusting the thermostat go a long way in conserving energy, but it isn’t always easy, and it can be difficult fiddling with all of that on a day to day basis. Enter the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arch) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and their easy-to-use CHIP Solar House, a cutting-edge solar home you control with a wave of your hands and the help of Xbox Kinect.

InfoWorld - I've written on a number of occasions about the capabilities of enterprise-class SLC solid-state drives (SSDs) when leveraged in demanding primary storage environments.
