  Vista browsers to surpass Mac by mid-2008?[->] 2007-08-08 16:24 starglider29a

starglider29a writes "According to browser statistics gathered by w3schools.com, Vista is up to 3.00% in June '07. With Linux at 3.4% and Mac at 4.00% and rising, first order projections place Vista users to surpass Mac users somewhere in mid-2008. This doesn't take into account the publics reaction to Leopard when it is unveiled."

  Voracious Jumbo Squid Invade California[->] 2007-07-25 10:20 starglider29a

Submitted by starglider29a on Wednesday July 25 2007, @10:20AM
starglider29a writes "Jumbo squid that can grow up to 7 feet long and weigh more than 110 pounds are invading central California waters and preying on local anchovy, hake and other commercial fish populations, according to a study published Tuesday.

"Having a new, voracious predator set up shop here in California may be yet another thing for fishermen to compete with," said the study's co-author, Stanford University researcher Louis Zeidberg. "That said, if a squid saw a human they would jet the other way."

The jumbo squid used to be found only in the Pacific Ocean's warmest stretches near the equator. In the last 16 years, it has expanded its territory throughout California waters, and squid have even been found in the icy waters off Alaska, Zeidberg said.

starglider29a says: This would be YA 'look, climate change' article, were it not for the fact that the Squid Expert is named Zeidberg! ROFLCAKES!"
