Microsoft Extends XP

"Bowing to continued demand, Microsoft has again extended the life of Windows XP... Three months after Microsoft stopped selling new copies of Windows XP, the software remains a top seller on Amazon.com."
Here are some more details on how and why even Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer thinks some businesses might skip Vista and wait until Windows7 is released.

Portable Power Plants

This is a really great idea that will probably be hit with so much 'safety' BS that it will never be sold in the US.
Imagine a tractor-trailer delivering a big heavy (sealed) box that delivered enough electrical power for 20,000 homes for five years. Now imagine at the end of that time, a truck dropped off a new one and picked up the old one to be recycled.
That is in the works and will be available in the next couple of years, IF a series of knee-jerk paraniods don't prevent it in the US. Most of the rest of the world isn't going to give a damn.

Religious Obscenity

Many people have been enraged at the behavior of the Taliban and the way women are treated in many Islamic countries. I have seen much the same behavior among fundamentalist Christians.
And just so these people don't feel alone, we now have Ultra Orthodox Jews in Israel exhibiting the exact same, disgusting behavior.
Although there are many fine people of faith in the world, this sort of behavior from a minority in every religion is an embarrassment to humans of all races and faiths.

500 Year-Old Shipwreck Found

Although I applaud the finding, the fact they are rushing this tells me the mining company and the government officials are unwilling to put the resources into a proper archaeological investigation. The only thing that really is of interest to them is the gold and silver.
The wreck appears to be a Portuguese vessel and was lost on the African coast of Namibia.

Let your rep know!

There is an evil bill being rushed through congress right now. You owe it to yourself to read up on it and let your congresscritter know how you feel. The following is from the Justice Department concerning the bill:

" We strongly oppose Title I of the bill, which not only authorizes the Attorney General to pursue civil remedies for copyright infringement, but to secure "restitution" damages and remit them to the private owners of infringed copyrights. First, civil copyright enforcement has always been the responsibility and prerogative of private copyright holders, and U.S. law already provides them with effective legal tools to protect their rights....

Second, Title 1's departure from the settled framework above could result in Department of Justice prosecutors serving as pro bono lawyers for private copyright holders regardless of their resources. In effect, taxpayer-supported Department lawyers would pursue lawsuits for copyright holders, with monetary recovery going to industry."

Micropayments

This may prove to be the future of a lot of leisure-time on the net. The idea of micro-payments isn't new, but successful applications have been few and far between.
Here is the article going into a lot more detail on the latest.
