Starbucks helped to create a program called OFN which is doing good things: In October, Starbucks seeded a program called the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) and its progenitor program is reaping successful results. This program has the goal of helping small businesses and promoting job growth. The process by which the OFN uses donations [...] Communication Equipment Transition from Analog to Digital: The “white” space in the electromagnetic spectrum has been reallocated for smart-phone and other modern technology. This space used to be designated for use by antennae-based television sets. The communication transition occurred because analog signals take up more bandwidth than their digital counterparts. A common example of [...] The Second Space Race is here…and China is winning: The United States of America won the first human space race through its intent…not its technology. Winning the space race versus the Soviet Union during the 1960′s – 1980′s was not an option. It was a fact. There was no option other than total US [...] Pistol Shrimp – CLICK the picture to watch the video: EnergyRebels.com has been keeping an ear for any online buzz related to Sonoluminescence. The idea of successfully using water and sound to create cold fusion is something one would expect to be harnessed by scientists in white laboratory coats. Yet a powerful aquatic lifeform [...] Internet Censorship and How to Bypass it: Internet Censorship is becoming more insidious everyday. Did you know that an internet search made by you may be different from your friends…even though you all are using the same keywords? This has to do with internet “funneling” which takes into account your browsing habits.

Yet they fail to factor into account the environmental consequences of military action such as mining or naval [...] Example of Wolfram Alpha: After testing Wolfram Alpha about 1 year ago, I found it to be a clunky and unproductive computational search engine. It purported itself to be the “Ask Jeeves” of search engines for math related questions. But it wasn’t able to bridge the gap between common English and computation. Yet now [...] Basic Concept of a Flywheel Bicycle: Maxwell von Stein developed a Flywheel Bicycle which takes energy from braking and stores it in a revolutionary device. The flywheel is making a comeback and it is forcing innovators to re-investigate the accepted limitations of energy storage. This simple piece of technology has been used years ago [...] CLICK to check out a fun Satellite Tracking Resource: One problem which amateur astronomers and telescope hobbyists face are satellites. Fast-moving satellites can trick an astronomer to think he or she is seeing a shooting star or meteorite. Geostationary orbit satellites can confuse telescope hobbyists into thinking they’re seeing a distant star. These problems [...] |
