Bill Gates: We can lower the world’s population with vaccines
At a time when anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is becoming broadly recognized as a politically driven, pseudo-scientific power-grab, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates recently “unvielded his vision” of global catastrophe unless net man-made carbon emissions are reduced to zero. The video of his peculiar, ill-timed, February TED2010 talk is here. Gates also delivered a very odd [...]

Apple iPad: It might be worse than you think
Apple introduced its greatly anticipated tablet computer, the iPad, yesterday. It was impossible for the product to meet the unbelievable hype surrounding the computer’s debut, but even taking this into account, the reaction to the device, which will not ship for months, has been mostly negative. Critics point out the iPad’s lack of multitasking, the low [...]

Georgia Guidestones, 2012 and HAARP discussion

You might be a terrorist if you read iFixit

Tetragrammaton and the recent solar triangle
The recent strange and gigantic hole in the sun’s corona, visible in certain space-based images taken earlier this week, bears an eerie resemblance to a French representation of the Tetragrammaton, a word that refers to the name of God. The following image was taken from Wikipedia. From the Greek word “τετραγράμματον,” “Tetragrammaton” literally means “having [...]

New Skype drops calls after 30 minutes, 24 seconds
I updated Skype recently to version 5.8.0.156 and I have had three straight calls that were dropped after 30 minutes, 24 seconds. This did not happen with previous Skype versions where I could maintain calls for hours. Microsoft purchased Skype last year for $8.5-billion and the service has been balky on several occasions since then.

Based in a post-apocalyptic world foretold by the Maya, the ad shows a surviving Chevy Silverado emerging from the rubble and driving past a series of end-of-the-world disaster movie cliches while Barry Manilow’s Looks Like We Made [...]
Strange Circular Object Sighted at the Bottom of the Baltic
Using sonar, a group of Swedish treasure hunters have discovered an odd 60 meter (200 foot) disc-shaped object on the bottom of the Baltic Sea adjacent to 400 meter (1,300 foot) “drag marks.” Referred to as an underwater “UFO” by the discoverer, the circular feature does not appear to be natural.
The talented Blue Grass group The Cleverlys covers the Bangles hit Walk Like an Egyptian and the result is comedic genius that sounds great. The spastic, twitchy, hilarious and gifted drummer is “Digger Jr. Jr.” who has been missing from the band for nearly two years. Whatever happened to him, The Cleverlys need to bring [...]
