In this final installment of the Baseline 25 Most Disruptive Companies series, Lawrence Walsh and Chris Gonsalves take a look at some real innovators, which, though they may not all be technology companies, are disrupting their own markets as well as using technology in disruptive ways. Some examples: iRobot's gutter-cleaning robot and robots that are being built for the military and law enforcement that save lives; Tesla Motors, whose Roadster electric car can go from 0-60 mph in four seconds using conventional battery power, and is using CAD/CAM and Product Lifecycle Management tools in innovative ways; design firm IDEO, whose innovative designs challenge conventional wisdom and the status quo; and Amazon, which is breaking ground in online cloud computing and storage services....Download a VMWare LAB MANAGER STARTER KIT, FREE!

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have suggested building a supercomputer based on low-power embedded microprocessors to improve global climate change predictions. Using the embedded microprocessor technology used in mobile phones, iPods and other consumer electronic devices, the boffins propose a cost-effective machine for running complex computational models.

coondoggie writes to tell us that NASA and JAXA (the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) have announced a partnership to study the sonic boom. Hoping to find the key to the next generation of supersonic aircraft, the research will include a look at JAXA's 'Silent Supersonic technology Demonstration Program.' 'The change in air pressure associated with a sonic boom is only a few pounds per square foot -- about the same pressure change experienced riding an elevator down two or three floors. It is the rate of change, the sudden onset of the pressure change, that makes the sonic boom audible, NASA said. All aircraft generate two cones, at the nose and at the tail. They are usually of similar strength and the time interval between the two as they reach the ground is primarily dependent on the size of the aircraft and its altitude. Most people on the ground cannot distinguish between the two and they are usually heard as a single sonic boom. Sonic booms created by vehicles the size and mass

yo_cruyff notes a Computerworld article on Google's recent annual shareholder meeting, which was dominated by argument over the company's human rights policies. Google's shareholders, on advice from their board, have voted down two proposals on Thursday that would have compelled Google to change its policies. 'Google [has been] coming under fire for operating a version of its search engine that complies with China's censorship rules. Google argues that it's better for it to have a presence in the country and to offer people some information, rather than for it not to be active in China at all... [S]hareholders and rights groups including Amnesty International... continue to push Google to improve its policies in countries known for human rights abuses and limits on freedom of speech... Sergey Brin, cofounder and president of technology for Google, abstained from voting on either of the proposals. 'I agreed with the spirit of these proposals,' Brin said. But he said he didn't fully supp
