NASA’s First Annual Space Elevator Competition ends with no winners
No winners yet. If you think you can build a device that will run up a teather at more than 1 m/s you might be able to win $50,000. Oh yeah, no batteries allowed and don’t even think about using gasoline ’cause it needs to run in space.

Chinese invade Okinawa! NOT!
This is a weird one, a man wrote a fake news story about how the Chinese had just invaded Okinawa Japan and posted it to a site that looked like the Yahoo news page. He says he’s sorry and wishes he hadn’t done it. How strange…

Blogging Predicted by 19th Century Russian Prince
Could the entire blogging phenominom have been predicted as far back as 1837?
“Houses are connected by means of magnetic telegraphs that allow people who live far from each other to communicate,” Odoevsky wrote.
Even more interestingly, Odoevsky suggested every household would publish a kind of daily journal or newsletter and distribute it among selected acquaintances, a habit which Russian bloggers immediately recognized as blogging.
“We received a household journal from the local prime minister, which among other things invited us to his place for a reception,” one of Odoevsky’s characters tells a friend.
“The thing is that many households here publish such journals that replace common correspondence. Such journals usually provide information about the hosts’ good or bad health, family news, different thoughts and comments, small inventions, invitations to receptions.”
Maybe, but then again many people think that Nostradamus predicted modren day current events back in the 1500’s.

Porn, the destroyer of Communism. 🙂
“However the Chinese government has some pretty strong controls over internet so the recent turmoil is quite understandable. Due to the excellent growth of high end cell phones in China, a lot of subscribers have signed in for getting internet access on their phones.
