1) Not very green, but what can I say. Anyhow, this is another of those world changing techy things that sets off my ‘I don’t know if I like that meter’. In the article I fall on the yes this will change the world, but I don’t like that idea. I put up a link to a T.E.D. lecture about this coming out of India a while back, I just see to many social problems with this, but I have been told I worry to much, so I will just watch and see. http://www.readwriteweb.com

2) Now for something a little more to my liking. This is an article about communicating with aliens, that is of the off planet variety. I think this is a very good approach to what seems to me, short of discovering the existence of babble fish a monumental task. Especially when you consider the possible problems needed to be overcome, due to the complexity of language multiplied by the differences in environment and development. Learning to develop a two way conversation with dolphins seems to be a good start. http://www.wired.com/

3) The idea of a very big advancement in radio broadcast technology sort of seems to be a so what story, that is until you dig a little deeper. This might have some rather large implications for the future in more areas than meet the eye. http://www.engadget.com

4) I almost went right by this article because when I saw the title I was thinking more military defense stuff, but when I started reading I realized they were talking computer switching and more to do with advancing computer technology. I am not to sure where all of this is heading, I am beginning to think I will need one of those reincarnation type reboots to understand very much more, luckily so far none of this is necessary for me yet. http://www.physorg.com
