Google Doesn’t Like Mature Women Looking for Toy Boys

I don’t know if Google’s motives are pure or not, but this is wrong: They are refusing to advertise CougarLife, a dating site for mature women looking for younger men. However, they accept sites for mature men seeking young women. http://gawker.com/5539717/steve-jobs-offers-world-freedom-from-porn According to the New York Times, CougarLife.com was paying Google $100,000 a month since…

The Guy Who Flew Thousands of Passengers As a Fake Pilot

This is Thomas Salme, a maintenance engineer who became a Boeing 737 pilot by flying a few nights in a flight simulator and printing a fake airliner pilot license. Amazingly enough, he flew passengers for thirteen years without any incidents. Thirteen years of back and forth from Sweden to everywhere else in Europe. Nobody noticed…

This Is What a Spider Nanobot Really Looks Like

Yesterday we learnt that scientists have created the first nanobot assembly line. It’s “manned” by four spider-like nanocreatures made from DNA strands, with three arms and four legs.

The Before and After of Jupiter’s Belts

Something is wrong in Jupiter. Astronomer Anthony Wesley’s photos show that one of its two dark stripes is gone. Maybe Sir Arthur C. Clarke was right and the gas giant will turn into a star to jumpstart life in Europa. But no, even while it’s 2010, the process has happened before. It’s a phenomenon called…

Space Adventures is going to use an Armadillo Technologies rocket to launch amateur astronauts 62 miles into the sky. Nothing new, except that they will do it for half the price of Virgin Galactic’s ticket, and in a real rocket!

The Light Bulb That Could Help to Save the World

There plenty of fluorescent low-power lights out there, but their light depresses me. Unlike the EnduraLED, a LED-based bulb that produces the same light of a 60W incandescent light bulb but only takes 12 watts. The savings could be amazing. According to Philips, 50% of all the 60-watt incandescent light bulbs are bought in the…

Open Letter to Steve Jobs: It’s Time to Stop the Censorship
