Flower Power
Solar Electricity at night-
In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

A sudden explosion of technology.
Finally reached the long-dreamt breakthrough, technology as liberation from resource scarcity?
Are we seeing Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns manifest itself?
Car running on water
New material absorbs light, generates electricity superior to solar cells
jurassic park live- dinosaurs brought back to life
stem-cell transplant restores eysight
Things keep getting better, getting better all the time
yes, there is water on mars
yes, we have finally gotten through to photosynthesis (24-hour solar)
and yes, if we stick it through the last 20 years of this hell, we will be free on the material plane.
We always were on the spiritual one.
Japan introduces Mandatory waist Measurement
We are absolutely serious when we say this- obese should be persecuted.
Obesity is the major cause of health problems in the "developed" world, and we applaud Japan's measures to battle gluttony.
Under a national law that came into effect two months ago, companies and local governments must now measure the waistlines of Japanese people between the ages of 40 and 74 as part of their annual checkups. That represents more than 56 million waistlines, or about 44 percent of the entire population.
Those exceeding government limits — 33.5 inches for men and 35.4 inches for women, which are identical to thresholds established in 2005 for Japan by the International Diabetes Federation as an easy guideline for identifying health risks — and having a weight-related ailment will be given dieting guidance if after three months they do not lose weight. If necessary, those people will be steered toward further re-education after six more months.

Scientists from the Imperial College of London claim to have found evidence life on our planet did not originate from Earth itself.
It is confirmed that an important component of early genetic material found in meteorite fragments is of extraterrestrial origin.

We are by no means sneakerheads at TomorrowMars, but the latest from Nike has touched us in our special area.
That's in the vicinity of aesthetic appreciation.
We present Nike Vandal High Supreme EX. "Metal Pack"
The sneakerheads have been complaining that this is going to be a general release, but we for one are glad we won't have to hunt for this online, or stand in line (always pathetic)
A beautiful shoe, child slavery finally put to good use, great job Nike!
