GOOGLE GLASSES

Augmented reality.

 

Digital suggestions in your eyes. Glasses that tell you what is the most popular restaurant, vending machine, or shopping mall by visual display. The power of the most innovative search engine literally at your disposal. The next step is the Google Contact lense. Slowly dissolving the phrase " I didn't hear about that" from our conversations. Wow.

 

 

 

MORE SPACE DEBRIS!

March 24th, 2012 :: 271 Days Pre-ApocalypsePosted by The Alien

 

 

Houston we have a ... AHHHHHH!!!

 

Space station occupants recently had to escape to emergency pods to avoid the risk of being destroyed by space debris. This is a pretty terrifing thought that this is a real danger when orbiting Earth. We are not only polluting this earth but the space floating around it. That is a wild thought.

"NASA says there are about 22,000 pieces of sizable space junk – primarily bits of old satellites – orbiting the earth and has in the past ordered the ISS crew to adjust the craft's path to avoid collisions. In all, NASA tracks nearly half a million pieces of space junk."

Running Robots!

DARPA has done it again!

wiki:::(( The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. ))

DARPA has created the world fastest land speed robot. Take a look at the video above and experience another small taste of the future. It is a very large leap in robotic technology that we can mime animal movement so closely with just 1's and 0's. This is one step closer to the singularity.

 

Sorry Wile E. Coyote, sucks to be you ~

 

 

Stolen NASA laptop contained space station control codes!!

March 2nd, 2012 :: 294 Days Pre-ApocalypsePosted by The Alien

 

 

"video transcript via msn"

NASA has now admitted 48 electronic devices have been lost or stolen in just a two-year period including a laptop computer that contains the unencrypted codes for controlling the international space station . There may be more missing devices because reporting them is voluntary. So if the space station suddenly starts doing barrel rolls or spelling out somebody's name as it orbits the earth, you will know the laptop has fallen into the wrong hands.

Space robot makes history by

shaking astronaut's hand

 

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46405596/ns/technology_and_science-space/#.TzyOrrSAqdA

Science has accomplish a new leap in robot technology and has created a robot that can shake hands with an astronaut. Great, so when Wal Mart starts their expansion to the moon at least we will have the door greeters covered. These are the photo graphs we will look back on in about 100 years when AI technology takes over and... . . .. laugh.. . . . . .

Fifty million to 200 million years from now, geologists expect Earth's continents to smash together into one big supercontinent, just as they've done repeatedly in our planet's distant past — and a model suggests that the Arctic Ocean and Caribbean Sea will be among the first things to go.

 

PLASTIC EATING MUSHROOMS!

Plastic Eating Eating Mushrooms!!!!

http://www.fellowgeek.com/a-Scientists-Find-Mushroom-that-Eats-Eternal-Plastic-ix1772.html

Polyurethane doesn’t degrade naturally. If left to sit, it will happily remain intact for hundreds, ifnot thousands of years. Which is why it is such a problem. Some scientists have gone so faras to postulate that, in a thousand years, we will have made our own geologic layer--consistingof a layer of plastic. But now scientists have found Pestalotiopsis microspora, a mushroom that likes nothing betterthan to chow down on the stuff. Found in Ecuador by a bunch of Yale students, the mushroomcan live off of polyurethane exclusively without, even, oxygen.

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
