Some of you guys are joking about a car virus, but it's not a stretch of the imagination at all.

15 years ago that couldn't happen, but now cars have built in cellular data. Some have built in hotspots. Not just high end cars but cheap cars can get on facebook now either through dedicated cellular data or tethering off your phone. We saw just a few weeks ago that they're trying to make cars that talk to each other for 'safety' reasons. Once they can do that a car to car virus is even easier.

This prize has become a joke. Next year just give it to honey boo boo or any old random person. It makes about as much sense. Matter of fact, next year they should pick a city that needs some 'peace' and send it up in a balloon set to pop after a 5 minute run.

It's not designed to assist in seeing something in space as much as it is for Finding something in space. There are tons of apps that allow you to overlay a map on the sky as you hold the phone up. Great for finding the planets, constelations, ISS, etc.

I'm not going to name off any of the apps as there are dozens of them from free to cheap, I switch back and forth between them.

Use the drugs we use in surgery to put the guy out then in order of how I'd want to go...

Morphine OD
Heroine OD
Cyanide
Guillotine
Firing Squad
Electric Chair

Heck, with the first two we don't have to sedate first... We just sedate them to death.
