I thought that this was an interesting read and have included the map and the 8 questions that they answer about the internet.

I found it funny that they would even consider #6 as a question that people didn’t know about the internet!

From NewScientist.com:

Eight things you didn't know about the internet

1. Who controls the internet?
2. Could the net become self-aware?
3. How big is the net?
4. Is there only one internet?
5. Is the net caught in the credit crunch?
6. Where are the net’s dark corners?
7. Is the net hurting the environment?
8. Could we shut the net down?

AP: Atlantic tropical storms have doubled

There are a group of researchers actually saying that there is a noticeable change in the number of tropical storms and hurricanes seen in the Atlantic in the last 100 years and that the “increase” in these storms is largely blamed on “man-made” global warming.

For those of you that actually pay attention to this issue it is worth noting that former IPCC hurricane scientist and current Science and Operations Officer for NOAA’s Hurricane Center, Chris Lansea, has labeled this research as “sloppy science” pointing out that “The doubling in the number of storms and hurricanes in 100 years that they found in their paper is just an artifact of technology, not climate change.”

Let us be really honest here, do you actually believe that we were able to see, and count, every tropical storm and hurricane in the Atlantic before that advent of satellite technology? There are a few of the blind “consensus” scientists saying that aircraft flights were enough to detect the storms back in the day…but those didn’t even begin until the 1940’s and surprise, surprise when these flights began to take place more storms were detected!

The Atlantic covers 1/5 of the Earth’s surface and is 41 million square miles…do you really think that planes could have detected all of the storms in the ocean? Enter into the picture satellites…and amazingly enough we detect even more storms!

May be these “scientists” should write a more realistic paper titled: Technology brings about more devastating storms to the world. At least their conclusions could be supported by their data!

This is why there are millionaires out there.

How would you like to get rid of all of those wires in your house? TV, VCR, and even your laptop would never have to be plugged in!

Well Dr Marin Soljacic and his team from MIT are simply brilliant!

They created a way for a room to be completely wireless.

The end of the plug?

I would be a willing to offer up my house if they would like to test this on any large scale!
