Submission + - OLED Breakthrough Yields 75% More Efficient Lights (inhabitat.com) 2

Submitted by
Mike
Mike writes: "Researchers at Korea's Advanced Institute of Science and Technology recently announced a breakthrough in OLED technology that reduces the ultra-thin lights' energy consumption by 75%. The discovery hinges upon a new method of creating "surface plasmon enhanced" organic light emitting diodes that boast 1.75 times increased emission rates and double the light intensity. With OLED's popping up everywhere from keyboards to cell phones, tv screens, and lamps, the development marks an exciting step towards an entire spectrum of more energy efficient electronics."

Submission + - Root Words (myspace.com)

Devin Wesley Harper writes: "I was wondering how many words a language needs and I thought up a way we can find out that and what ones. A computer program that would regroup words in a thesaurus according to which ones are connected by it. It could organize the entries in each category from most to least popular. E-mail me if you'll do it, thanks."

Submission + - 2008 Astrology Predictions 2008 Presidential Race (blogspot.com)

Ginn writes: We put together the "astrological" charts and predictions for the Republican frontrunners in the 2008 Presidential Race. Thoroughly unscientific, we thought it'd be cool to look back and see if any of the "predictions" came true. Next up, the Dems.

Submission + - Black Holes-the Real Danger

There is nothing more than Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, and Positrons. It is safe to assume that all black holes were artificially created in the same manner as we will in May 2008."

Submission + - All black holes were artificially created.

The cosmic collider's pulse could expand the universe initially and when we predict the black hole's collapse it instead sucks our whole section of the galaxy out of existence. I propose waiting fifteen years when our reverse cassimere affect technology is good to shield us from black holes and to put this around the cosmic collider. Basically, there is nothing more than electrons, protons, neutrinos, and positrons, anything else all chances say we die when we test the cosmic collider. Watch me near it's time of completion get arrested for dialing 911 on them. I thought we had the right to life? I protest this project."
