BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Nanotech may spark fierce ethical row

I was just talking to Josh about this the other night. Nanotech is going to change the world, whether you believe it or not. We are within throwing distance of being able to cure all disease and to being able to live far longer, if not forever. It will completely change the economy, crushing it mostly. There needs to be some serious discussing on what will happen when we are able to make anything you can dream about.

It is coming on very fast, some are now predicting that the most staggering discoveries will happen within 20 years. It is important for the companies and researchers behind these to get their side out before the nay-sayers do. We can not let what happened to cloning happen here. The article talks mostly about ethics, but basically, what they are saying is that someone is going to win a PR battle. Let's hope it is the good guys.

Apple's UI

Irate Scotsman writes about Apple's more recent UI problems in a nice and funny way. It's worth checking out if you are into things like this.

Chocolate Milk

I have a tendency to be habitual. I eat virtually the same things everyday, I always walk the on the same side of the street, things like this. One of my more child like habits, besides smoking, is drinking a half gallon of Oberweis chocolate milk every day. It makes me a little sick, but it's so good.

Sarafi Tabs?

Like I said before, The thing I miss most with Safari is not tabs, but rather tab bookmarks, but I still like tabs from a window management stand point. There has been this idea for a while about a better way to do tabs, using a drawer with thumbnails. Here is a good description of the idea. This seems like a fairly good idea, although I'm concerned with the screen real-estate it would take up. And would the drawer be universal? In other words, would the same list of sites show up in ever window, or would it be window centric? I lean towards universal. It would become a type of temporary bookmarks draw, in essence. You could even quit and when you reopen Safari your "tabs" would be there. Anyway nice stuff to think about. We will see what Apple does eventually.

Search terms

I was just taking a look at the stats for this site and one of the terms used to get here was "joe millionaire bj". That is funny. What is even funnier is that my site is on the 5th page for that search.

ACTC

I have a test tomorrow. Like being back in school. I'm sure this one will be easy though.
