BBC reports that Pepsi, US TV and CBS are doing a test of advertising with an embedded LCD display in Entertainment Weekly. It takes several seconds to load, is expensive and, I'm predicting, annoying. Add toxic waste to the mix and I'm wondering what the possible upside is? Is this anything more than singing Hallmark cards on steroids?

More advances in military robots. Now they can jump over 25' obstacles like fences and walls. Handy in urban warfare/reconaissance.

Satellite images from 2007 reveal the street plan of Altinum, an ancient city considered to be the precursor to Venice. It was abandoned 1,500 years ago when Attila the Hun was on the march. I really like seeing technology used to find out about stuff that's been under our feet for centuries.
