In a random turn of events, Google and GE have announced their partnership into the world of environmentally friendly energy.

What does this mean exactly? Well, Google hopes that with GE’s help (or vice versa) they will be able to more effectively harness the power of renewable resources such as wind, sun, and geothermal, and well, make better use of it.

That isn’t all though, Google hopes to also do work on electric-cars… gCar anyone?

GE digital cameras are making its mark on the digital camera market. This time, added Micro Center to the list of retailers carrying its products. Micro Center, which began stocking the GE cameras in late August, reports that GE digital cameras have been very successful.

All GE cameras boast sleek and intuitive design, plus a host of popular, advanced functions as standard features, including face detection, image stabilization, red-eye removal, 1600 ISO sensitivity (or higher), and panorama stitching – all of which are embedded in the camera. Panorama stitching is proving to be an especially popular feature, allowing the user to join three images together seamlessly to take in landscapes and other wide vistas.

GE cameras also offer movie mode, continuous-shot mode, and a variety of special scene modes – all at prices far less than many of their competitors.

Even at the entry level, the GE A730 (MSRP just $99.99) includes features one would expect from a much more expensive camera, including 7 megapixels of resolution, a 3x zoom, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen. The A830 ($129.99) is the next step up, offering 8 megapixels and the same specs for zoom and screen size. The G1 ($149.99) offers 7 megapixels, a 3x zoom and a 2.5-inch screen as well, but its drawing card is its ease of handling and pocket-friendly dimensions (3? inches wide x 2½ inches high).
