ChromeOS is in the works. I’m pretty excited about this rethinking of what a ‘computer’ needs to be.

This guy look like a cross between ED-209 from Robocop and Ultron from Marvel Comics.
But in reality the Titan ‘robot’ is actually more of a suit of armor that someone wears and performs in.

I’ve been playing GuildWars for years now, and have loved the rich, detailed world and really well thought-out gameplay. I’ve been really longing for Guild Wars to be considered for a console like the PS3. That wish isn’t coming true, but they did just release a wonderful trailer for the next rendition of the game, GuildWars 2.
GuildWars Website…which you should check out the link for the free trial.
And by the way, GuildWars is NOT a pay-to-play like World of Warcraft. You buy the game, then online play is free.

For all those people who take for granted Facebook, Tweets, texting, and even e-mail…here is a recent viral video that should act as a reality-check for everyone:

I was listening to All Things Considered on NPR today and heard this gem linked below. Listen to the audio, which is in this case more entertaining than the text.

This is truly tasteless, and simultaneously suggests that your porn viewing is okay if you use IE8. Can’t believe that they would think this is a decent promotion for their products. Watch it before Microsoft’s lawyers pull it from YouTube…if you dare…

Though there are quite a number of areas where their ideal wind generation is very far from population centers, the potential to generate the great majority of our power using is amazing. President Obama should put a moratorium on the building of any coal, oil, or nuclear power plants to make room for this.
Here is news of the study from the National Academy of Science:

“Large-scale development of wind power in China could allow for close to an 18-fold increase in electricity supply relative to consumption reported for 2005,” the researchers write. “The bulk of this wind power, 89%, could be derived from onshore installations. The potential for wind power in the U.S. is even greater, 23 times larger than current electricity consumption, the bulk of which, 84%, could be supplied onshore.”
