Robin iHood – A Scenario to Consider

When cybercrimes happen, we think of each individual incident, it’s own headline.  This bank’s website got hacked into, files from another company’s rnd laptop were filched at the international airport during a layover. A company analyst opens a corrupted email within the intranet, planting the trojan that’s harvesting login strokes, confidential memos, and databases,...

Experts: Judge’s sexual orientation is non-issue – Yahoo! News

April 27, 2011

Let me get this straight: ban proponents aren’t against the judge because he’s gay, they’re just bothered that he may want to marry another guy someday. So it’s okay to be gay, just don’t do gay things?!  Hell, I was surprised to find out that we even had a gay judge. Sexual orientation is...

Countdown begins for next-to-last shuttle launch – Yahoo! News

This is all so bittersweet to me. NASA is the cornerstone of American Innovation, and the shuttle program is a prime example of those guys genius at work. Two flights to go, for a program mothballed ahead of its time. It is odd that I more vehement to W’s executive disordering of NASA than...

China looking to public to name space station – Yahoo! News

Within FIVE years, China’s space agency will surpass NASA in avionics and space technology advancement. If not sooner. We are ditching Hubble, ISS, the shuttle program, just as we ditched Skylab, Apollo/Saturn and other history making footnotes. Ares? SMH. I don’t think China is going to make the same mistake. Not with all the...

Human terrarium, Biosphere 2, looking good at 20 – Yahoo! News

A lot of people viewed B2 as a failure. I see it as an eye-opening first step.  The idea of exploration is to learn about the unknown ahead. It was better to learn those lessons on terra firma than 320,000,000 miles away from the nearest hardware store. Glad to hear it’s being recycled and...

Oil falls to near $111 as US dollar strengthens – Yahoo! News

Okay, here’s the BAIT. Markets will bleed some of the tension, focus too narrowly on short-term projections instead of the historical trends, and the chest-thumping in Washington subsides, rather than continue the momentum against the petrol cartels. And just as we take the finger off the trigger in a sigh of relief, (wait for...

Drill off Alaska coast? Gulf mess renews debate – Yahoo! News

We WILL regret drilling in Alaska. This is exactly the environment where Mother Nature trumps technology no matter how the cards are dealt. Even after the Gulf of Mexico disaster, the worst of its kind to-date, any technological failure in the inaccessible fringes of the the frontier will be uncontrollable, unstoppable. The impact both...

Thai, Cambodian troops in new exchange of heavy fire – Yahoo! News

Sadly, we are going to lose the 900-year-old Hindu temple Preah Vihear to this selfish and short-sighted power struggle. This is as bad as the Christian-Muslim battles over mutual holy lands. It is staggering how much historical culture we are losing forever in the name of greed and self-righteousness. Shame. BANGKOK (AFP) – Heavy...
