Antimatter Vs. Matter = nobody wins

Did you know that scientists at CERN overseas have now created the much debated antimatter? They have actually been able to hold it in a magnetic field before it imploded with regular matter for a whopping 16 and some minutes! For more on the story, go here -
Antimatter Vs. Matter

Unfortunately, this is an older link, and therefore they say it only has been captured for .2 seconds. In truth, scientists have been able to capture and test them for a while now, and have created a cloud of almost 5 millimeters holding for over 16 minutes, instead of just one millimeter for .2 seconds. Amazing how far technology comes from just a few years ago! Imagine the possibilities! You could soon be driving a car run on antimatter, where distance isn't measured in miles per gallon, but miles per molecule! Unfortunately, it will also be turned into a weapon... a bomb the size of the one at Hiroshima containing antimatter could create a blast that would most likely destroy an entire continent, not just a city... Amazing power = amazing responsibility... let us hope our responsibility outweighs the power.

Oh don't we all just love technology?

Guess what? You know your little I-phone or Droid that has that cool little GPS app, or how about that little GPS you have in your car? Well apparently these along with GPS devices used by the police can be used to track your every movement without providing a warrant. Read the full story here, and just be aware that your fun little technological device can be tapped by the government or police at any time if this is ruled in such a way.

How many people can do a simple sudoku?

I know that pretty much everyone knows what a Sudoku is, but how long would it take you to complete one? This one took me only three minutes and thirty seconds. Try it out and tell me how long it takes you!
