PepsiCo has unveiled a new bottle that ups the ante in unfolding "Container War Saga". This new bottle is made of food scraps and waste material from Pepsi's diverse food manufacturing facilities. This new plastic from Pepsi is in response to Coca Cola's "Plant Bottle", with a couple of provisos, and quid pro quos. First this new plastic is entirely made of food waste, and second it hasn't been commercialized yet. Don't let that deter you however. In a few short years all of our High Fructose Corn Syrup infused libations will be available in this mind soothing and reassuring non oil based plastic. PepsiCo says the bottles are made of switch grass, pine bark, corn husks and other materials. They also plan to use orange peels, oat hulls, potato scraps and other leftovers. Yum!

The only way to stop piracy is to cut prices. That's the vedict of a major new academic study that reckons copyright theft won't be halted by 'three strikes' broadband disconnections, increasing censorship or draconian new laws brought in under the anti-counterfeiting treaty ACTA.
The Media Piracy Project, published last week by the Social Science Research Council, reports that illegal copying of movies, music, video games and software is "better described as a global pricing problem" — and the only way to tackle it is for copyright holders to charge consumers less money for their wares.

SRI International, which employs 1,700 researchers, has been busy on a number of things from radar, ultrasound imaging, remote surgery, and much more. It has also been incubating a few things that have turned into startups. My favorite example is Siri, which is an assistant for your iPhone. Apple bought that last year for a rumored $200+ million and I’ve been hearing rumors that we’ll see some of that work as part of the iPhone 5 launch later this year. More about Siri later.
