Google CEO Eric Schmidt sits on Apple’s board
Just a little thought from an article (”How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong by Leander Kahney“) I read.
Web developer tool - Chickenfoot
MIT & Google guys have built a Firefox extension that allows you to manipulate the webpage you are looking at. It enables you to write scipts, save a trigger for a specific URL and next time you go there, the script is triggered automatically. I loved the example about the Amazon bookstore where you can inject a link with the information about it’s availability in a library near you.
Check out the Google Tech Talk presentation.

Life After People - History Channel docmentary
Speculative fiction at it’s best. What if one day all humans simply don’t exist any more?
Day One - fossil fuel powerplants will start to power off
One Week - pets run away into the wild and probably die
One Year - plantlife expands into the cities
One Hundred Years - Bridges fail, roads covered with vegetation, animals roam the Earth, metal rusts away
…
Watch it here.
Thx for the link J.
Google Sky released
Google has released a Google Maps look alike for the sky, to all us amateur astronomers who do not have a telescope 
- Google Sky.
Also read the Ars Technica article about some highlights.
About nanobots
I was just reading about the molecular nano-machine that presumably could control 16 others and the future applications it may have. The most intriguing side of the news for me was the medical implementation as a no-cut-no-blood surgery machine. Think about it - you have a braintumor and your medicine would be a little capsule or a hypodermic syringe filled with couple of nanobots who simply go and destroy the hostile tissue.
Well, you could also think forward and perhaps the nanobots would enable some “magical” powers, like in the last year’s dystopian adventure Bioshock. There we had plasmids that you inject into your bloodstream and they enhance your abilities and provide new “magical” powers. Check out Bioshock, the storytelling was awesome.
Tom Cruise on a scientology rant

And after that see the Craig Fergusson version

I also suggest you watch some Youtube with the keyword scientology. It seems to be a very popular cult among the Hollywood celebrities - they even have a “scientology celebrity center” - I guess to recruit new followers to “up” the churches reputation.
Some movie stars that are scientologists: Kirstie Alley, Priscilla Presley, John Travolta and a bunch of others.
Scientology mini dictionary:
*KSW (short for Keeping Scientology Working): A policy written by
Hubbard in the 1960’s that requires all Scientologists to follow his
words and his rules exactly.
‘Orgs: Orgs is an abbreviation for ‘organizations’ and describes
all churches of Scientology throughout the world.
*David Miscavige: He is the current leader of Scientology.
He’s the equivalent of the Pope to the Catholics.
*Out-ethics: any behavior that violates any of Hubbard’s
rules of conduct.
*Put ethics in on someone else: make others conform
to Hubbard’s rules of behavior.
*Criminon: Scientology front group that tries to recruit through the prisons.

*PTS/SP: another Hubbard term to define behavior that goes
against Scientology rules.
*LRH technology or ‘tech’: all the Scientology policies, rules, mandates, procedures.
4 day work week at 37signals
See how 37signals is thinking out of the box. They’re experimenting with different “workplace hacks” to make peoples lives and specifically their jobs at 37signals more enjoyable and relaxed. A great effort. It’s my philosophy that your everyday work doesn’t need to be hard or challenging all the time. You’re not in this world to work, but to live and enjoy. So all the managerial types, cut some slack will ya!
