Or why not buy Turbines that are going to last 30 years from Danish companies! Why do people ride in like they are doing all good, but bring the worst ideas. 600MW Turbines from China? Give me break. And the 600MW means nothing of how much electricity the turbine will produce over the year. That number could be very misleading, and is probably some crappy marketing tactic. Since it is from China my suspicions are extremely high. Seriously; how did all the F'ing idiots get all the money and get in charge?

Towards a Permission-Based Web 230

On his blog over at RedMonk, analyst James Governor looks at the walled garden we seem to be moving into, and possible cracks in the wall. "As we rush to purchase Apple products and services on Cupertino’s monochrome treadmill of shiny shiny, I can’t help thinking the open web community is losing something vital — a commitment to net neutrality and platform openness. If a single company can decide what plays on the network and what does not, in arbitrary fashion, how can that be net neutrality? ... Is the AppStore a neutral network? Should it be? Is Comcast, the company net neutrality proponents love to hate, really the only company we should be wary of? Pipe level neutrality is surely only one layer of a stack. The wider market always chooses proprietary wrappers — every technology wave is co-opted by a master packager. Success in the IT industry has always been about packaging — doing the best job of packaging technologies as they emerge. Twas ever thus." Governor ends his essay with an optimistic look at Android, which he says "potentially fragments The Permission Based Web, and associated data ownership-based business models."

Scientists Hack Cellphone To Detect Diseases 100

Dave Bullock (eecue) plugs his piece up at Wired on a cellphone modded into a portable blood tester. This could become a significant piece of medical technology. "A new MacGyver-esque cellphone hack could bring cheap, on-the-spot disease detection to even the most remote villages on the planet. Using only an LED, plastic light filter, and some wires, scientists at UCLA have modded a cellphone into a portable blood tester capable of detecting HIV, malaria, and other illnesses. Blood tests today require either refrigerator-sized machines that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or a trained technician who manually identifies and counts cells under a microscope. These systems are slow, expensive and require dedicated labs to function. And soon they could be a thing of the past."

I 100% concur. It really is a sad representation of what we are coming to. I think I am going to sue IDOT. I once road my bike, wiped out, and skinned up my knees really bad. They should have done something with the concrete. Oh, and then I am going to sue the bike manufacturer for not providing a fluffy pillow surrounding for when you fall. If we dig deep enough, I know one of these organizations must have covered up evidence.

See that is what I am saying. A very near sighted comment and here is why.

1. You state that congress has been controlled for the past 2 years by liberals. So what happens with that? Well, it puts a cowboy (GW) and the liberal congress at odds. It is what is called a dead lock. Anything that came out of congress was vetoed, threatened to be vetoed, or otherwise changed so much that any bill/law/change didn't stand a chance. That is what happens with a cowboy in office who thinks they are above the system.

2. GW had a rubber stamp congress for SIX years!! Why does everyone forget this???????? We are paying for the 6 years of rubber stamps right now! GW had it his way for six years and left us in a terrible mess. So a rubber stamp congress, or "political capital" was the exact term he used, has lead us to where we are today.

3. GW approval ratings were higher and lower than Mr. Truman. GW has swung much further in both directions. GW approval has plummeted over the last couple years. I wonder why?

I'm not hating, i am saying GW had his chance and he F'd up. Plain and simple. He was a bad bad choice for a president. A president who squandered all "political capital" and has left us where we are at. You can blame the congress for the last two years, but that doesn't change the facts. Stop hating and give someone else a chance. At this point Chucky Cheese is a better candidate over anyone from the Bush regime.

HAHAHAHAA Are you Crazy??!?!?!? Did you even watch the speeches last night?? Well it went something like this:

McCain Speech:
McCain mentions obama and everyone BOOOOSS!! McCain mentions support our new president and lets move on work together and everyone booooos/heckles and says NOWAY!!

Obama Speech:
Obama mentions McCain, great respect, time to move on and work together. Time to move forward and nothing but admiration for McCain. Everyone claps. Wow...

It seems as if you have a very biased point of view. There are plenty of places for haters such as yourself to move. I recommend the moon.

LoL. Yea, Bush was the best thing for Big Oil and Big Contracting firms. Why do conservatives just hate on everything that isn't from their so called belief bag?? I mean give me a break, Big Bush has been Big Government since he got into office. Hmmm, sounds like a 'liberal democrat idea' to me.... The only difference is, his big government has contributed to him being one of the worst presidents of all time. He will go down in history for being a complete disaster.

Why do people insist on blaming the democratic congress for this companies woes? Is that a scapegoat or what? Republicans had a rubber stamp congress for 6 years and created all this crap. Now Dems are bailing out all of the republican mistakes as usual...

Im not saying Dems are perfect, but most of the time, they are the lesser of two evils.
