Question by scotts74birds: What is the salary for a windsmith or wind turbine technician? I’m an experienced electrician with as background in construction, automotive manufacturing and robotics. I’m laid-off right now and thinking of a career change to the “green collar” industry. What are the job opportunities and wages in this field? Any employment leads would be very appreciated. Thank You

The planet is in rough shape. A new report from the Renewable Energy Industry Institute found that total levels of global greenhouse gas emissions reached a record high last year. And we’re starting to feel the consequences of all that carbon output as climate change leads to freakish superstorms like Hurricane Sandy. As New York City prepares for more large, destructive storms, many urban planners have raised the possibility of installing giant Rotterdam-style floodgates to protect the city. There are no current plans to install floodgates around NYC, but given the increasingly unpredictable weather in the region, it might be a good idea. In a different answer to rising sea levels, Dutch studio Whim Architects produced plans for floating, self-sustaining homes made from plastic waste from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Scientists also found that climate change is actually affecting satellites that are orbiting the planet, and a separate study warned that climate change could wipe out coffee production by 2080.

Earlier today I posted about the comparative merits of Apple’s iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S III, and in doing so it turns out that no matter what my conclusion, I probably helped Samsung move a few Galaxy smartphones. That’s according to new info from analytics firm Localytics, which says that Samsung sees a GSIII sales spike whenever it gets compared with Apple’s phone.
There was a huge spike in GSIII sales when Apple won its case against Samsung in the U.S. over patent infringement and was awarded $ 1 billion in damages and there was another when the iPhone 5 was announced and the internet lit up with comparison charts and articles. Device growth for Samsung’s handset slowed before and following both of these events.
Locatytics thinks this might be the start of general ambivalence among consumers when it comes to mobile OS choice. Comments on our articles suggest otherwise, but of course we’re speaking to a highly engaged, technical audience in a lot of cases.
OS agnosticism could indeed be a growing trend among smartphone consumers, who are comparing devices on other measures instead, but there’s also the old saying that any press is good press. Samsung’s name being out there more often in articles is good for the brand, especially when it’s being used as a measure for a brand with the reputation of Apple. That’s a far cry from a few years ago, when virtually every other hardware manufacturer was lumped into a general category of potential “iPhone killers,” most of which stood no chance of really standing up.
Alt-week peels back the covers on some of the more curious sci-tech stories from the last seven days.
Sometimes we wonder, what would we have ended up doing if we didn’t spend our time trawling the web for the week’s best alternative tech stories? We could have been paleontologists, novelists, engineers, or if we were really lucky, worked for Google. Instead, here we are bringing you some of the more colorful tech-tales from the last seven days, which we’re really not complaining about. That said though, at least on this occasion, we got to taste a bit of all the above. This is alt-week.

Hear those school bells in the distance? It’s hard to believe, but the start of the school year is just a few weeks away — and all week we’ve been rounding up some of our favorite eco-friendly back-to-school essentials. From green school supplies to sustainable backpacks, we’ve got all your back-to-school needs covered. And to top it off, we’re giving away a laptop-charging Voltaic solar-powered backpack (worth $ 389) stuffed with green school supplies for a total prize package worth over $ 500. If we could go back to school and live in any dorm, we’d probably choose Copenhagen’s Tietgenkollegiet dorm, a circular building with community kitchens, cafes, music rooms and a central courtyard. And if we could choose any gadget to take with us, it would have to be the P&P Office Waste Processor, which can transform a basket full of waste paper into fully-formed pencils.

Ever missed an amazing set in spite of your sick surfboard because you packed it in not knowing that the wind was picking up and about to deliver the perfect wave? Or maybe you didn’t realize just how hard the breeze was blowing and as a result, your tee shot wound up deep in the rough. Good news, sporting friends, because start-up company Shaka is here to make you more air-aware with a wind meter that plugs into the 3.5mm jack on your smartphone. It’s a small, plastic fan, not much bigger than a box of matches, that pairs with the company’s app to deliver wind speed and direction wherever you are — and it works by simply holding the thing up in a stiff breeze. The app then keeps a record of all your measurements and allows you to share them via your favorite social networks. Not only that, it also overlays the results on a map so you can see where the wind is just right for all your favorite wind-reliant activities. It’s currently iOS-only, but we’re told Android and Windows Phone versions are in the works as well. The price for knowing when wind perfection is upon you? For now Shaka’s seeking to sell them for around $ 59 bucks, but that could change if the powers that be (read: investors) decide otherwise.

This is a series of portraits by photographer Tadao Cern dirtily called Blow Job, showing people’s faces being brutalized by high winds. God, they’re all just so…gummy. I just couldn’t do it. I’d be too afraid of my eyeballs getting blown out and then flapping around behind my head like two tetherballs fighting in a tornado. No thank you.
Hit the jump for a good smattering of examples, but be sure to check out Tadao’s Facebook page for the project where there’s like a hundred.
