Shazam for iPad now tags music and TV shows without user input
Author: Jamie Colby
If you own a smartphone, you’ve more likely than not used Shazam. The app, which identifies songs by “listening” to their audio fingerprint, was one of the earliest and best ways to wow friends in the days when iPhones were still new to the mobile market. These days Shazam contains a hodgepodge of features. Tagging a song can quickly pull up a YouTube video, for instance. And if you happen to tag a TV show? You’ll see what music is playing, cast and crew information, and other details that save you a trip to IMDB.
The new Shazam is always listening
Today, Shazam is putting renewed focus on tablets with the launch of a revamped iPad app that brings with it some exclusive features. One of those is continuous tagging. No longer do you…

Amtrak to roll out high-efficiency trains with regenerative braking (video)
Author: Jamie Colby
Some of us look at electric trains as efficient transportation almost by definition, but that’s not entirely true when they consume a lot of power and give little back. Amtrak is about to strike a better balance now that it’s close to receiving the first of 70 high-efficiency Siemens ACS-64 trains destined for routes across DC, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. Each engine centers on a regenerative braking system that can recover up to 5MW of energy, much of which goes back to the power grid. The machinery is smarter, too: it can self-diagnose problems and mitigate the impact until repairs are possible. Commuters won’t immediately notice the difference when ACS-64 trains reach the rails between this fall and 2016, but there should be important behind-the-scenes savings. Amtrak reckons that the new vehicles could lower energy consumption by 3 billion kilowatts in the long run, which might help both the company’s bottom line and local utilities.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels reach milestone high as global warming worsens
Author: Jamie Colby
Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the primary gases involved in global warming, reached a new, cautionary milestone yesterday. The oldest continuous CO2 measuring station in the world, an observatory on the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, reported that levels of the greenhouse gas have reached 400 parts per million (ppm) — an amount not seen in at least three to five million years, by the observatory’s estimate. Levels of CO2 traditionally fluctuated between 200 and 300 ppm between warm periods and ice ages on the earth, but since the industrial revolution, concentrations of the gas have been slowly — and now, rapidly — rising.
When measurements began in Mauna Loa in 1958, CO2 levels were as low as 317 ppm. Though…
