| Bids by hungry contractors have Pennridge salivating
Pennridge School Board this month expects to award contracts for $4.5 million in remediation and renovation projects, and the initial cost indications have officials hopeful they've chosen the right time for the jobs.
A complicated asbestos removal project at Bedminster Elementary School as part of a larger $2.9 million renovation package for the 50-year-old building brought proposals from eight companies. Bids ranged as high as $275,000. The apparent low bid was from PDG of Drums, Luzerne County, for $75,527.
The project was expected to cost perhaps $30,000 more than that.

Auto Tata Motors Unveils $2,500 "Nano" in New Delhi
The time to reach the stated maximum speed of 68mph was not given. This slow acceleration does let the Nano achieve excellent mileage -- estimates are 50mpg city and 60mpg highway. While other cars have exceeded these numbers, they don't share the Nano's low cost of entry. The Nano will be available in two trim levels, "Standard" and "Luxury." The "Standard" is truly spartan, with vinyl seats, a single-color interior, black plastic bumpers and not much else. The "Luxury" lives up to its name by comparison, offering a list of features such as: Body-colored bumpers Fog lamps Power door locks Power mirrors Air conditioning and heater Dual-color interior Fabric seats The sticker price for the Luxury model has not yet been announced. In addition to the two model choices, the Tata Nano microsite offers a range of accessories that can be viewed from the car builder, including pin striping decals, a choice of air scoop for the rear-mounted engine, and alloy wheels.

Computerworld: 15 iPhone 2.0 fixes
It's conceivable that Apple could update the current crop of iPhones via software updates. Are you listening, Apple? 1. Get on the 3G train Let's start with the most obvious shortcoming: The fact that the iPhone is tied to AT&T's old EDGE wireless data network instead of the technologically superior 3G network. One of the things that makes the iPhone revolutionary is its unprecedented use of the Internet. No other cell phone or handheld on the market offers the full-featured, Web-browsing experience of Safari mobile (to say nothing of YouTube, Maps or other Net applications). But the EDGE data service is too slow for many Internet tasks, especially downloading large amounts of data, such as a graphically intense Web page or a video from YouTube.
