Join the fray at your own risk - New internet disclaimer

TechDirt discovered and put up this New Internet Disclaimer, great! I cannot help but wanted duplicate it here, in more readable form, for dummy like us:

1. Business is unpredictable and unsafe. The Internet is dangerous. Many blogs have been written about these dangers, and there's no way we can list them all here. Read the blogs.

2. The Internet is covered in slippery slopes with loose, slippery and unpredictable footing. The RIAA can make matters worse. Patent trolls are everywhere.

3. You may fall, be spammed or suffer a DOS attack. There are hidden viruses and worms. You could break your computer. There is wild code, which may be vicious, poisonous or carriers of dread malware. These include viruses and worms.

4. E-mail can be poisonous as well. We don't do anything to protect you from any of this.

5. We do not inspect, supervise or maintain the Internet, blogosphere, ISP's or other features, natural or otherwise.

Go and read the comments there, its funny! (Link)

The myth and real story of a billion dollars space pen

Have you ever heard of a pen that is created for astronauts and cost a million dollars?
lostin, as a mountain turtle never even seen a Mont Blanc pen.
By the way, the word Mont Blanc means: the highest mountain peak in the Alps; on the border between France and Italy south of Geneva (15,781 feet high) by definition of Google.

Dwayne A. Day, writer of The Space Review has written this article about the myth and story of this pen, which I find worth reading, hope you too enjoy it. (Link)

Electric shock lie detector

Don't be deceived by its cool outlook, this thing can send shock through you finger if you are not telling the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. (Link) via Gizmodo
Singapore CID and ISA department should get one, what other gadget can do a better job that giving you suspect a shock to make him tell the "true", especially those extreme regilious freek, like JW or Falun Gong.

Human Rights concern? Who cares about that when I have a million dollars in my pocket?

Minority groups? Take the advise of Orinoco flow lor!

I want to suggest one to be place at the witness stand in the court room, it would be fun as everyone take the witness stand, put their figers inside the machine and recite: "everything I say will be truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth...." Guess what happen next?

To the Religious extremist:
"Is your God real?"
"Yes!"
Zzzz......
"I ask you again, IS YOR GOD REAL?"
"YES!!"
Zzzzzz...................
"This is final, Does God Exist?"
"No!"
Zzzzz..........................
"Ah! he fainted!"

Since no body is 100% sure God exist nor able to proof it, any answer would do.

This is a sure win gadget, I endrose it!

Day of Reckoning – How to vote?

This dreadful day has fallen upon me.

This day I will have to decide the happiness of my wife, children and myself.

This day is the bird day of my Missy and my second son.

I made 3 mistakes in my life that I need to make amend:
- I dictate my family too much, every time only I talk, they cannot talk, now evrything is going to explode.
- I enjoy my life to much, only buy good things for myself, but my family take the lowest grade staff.
- Every decision made in the family, it is from me, not body else, that is going to change.

There are a few choices available to me; I would have to weigh them carefully.

1. Electrical appliances – practical and useful, proven to work in the past, but I scare my utilities bill after that will go up leh! especially with some heavy duty one that draw a few hundred kilo juice per month.

2. staff and tools – I have been eyeing that hammer for sometimes already, well, they are off course useful, but end up I will be the one who is doing all the work.

3. Jewels and thingy – my missy like that star of freedom, which promise that they will shine for us, and the stall is also near to our place, easy to follow up. I told her, I afraid good to see, not good to eat.

4. The furniture – my friends at Potong Pasir told me they have this for a long times now, they are very comfortable with it and highly recommend some to me, I am still thinking about it.

By tonight I would have to decide, Electric, Hammer, Jewels or the old Furniture in Potong Pasir, They are all so appealing, hard choices.

But, some how, I still have another choice, If I for some reason, not stupid hor! Cannot decide on which item to buy, I can always do this:

Electric X
Hammer X
Jewels X
Old furniture X

I can abstain, although sorry to wife and William.

For those interested in the Chinese version: (Link)

Trust in Humanity

Malaysia news: a 33 years old man married a 104 years old woman.
He claim that this is not for her wealth and she is poor anyway, he wants to live with her because of her deep religious spirit. (Link)

I am skeptical, not that I doubt his sincerely, but I feel that there must be something hidden within our eyes, know only to this young man.

Check carufully! fellow journalist.

The idea of cloaking proposed

The idea was still at its embryo state, although it is claim to be able to render dust and particles invisible.
The theory works more a less like the tuning forks, but instead of resonating sounds wave, they proposed the theory of resonating light wave, object that stays near the device would have light bounce off, thus render invisibility.

The idea was propose by a number of physicist at the Imperial College London, UK. (Link)

Just like the previous invisible tech that I came across, it could end up 胎死腹中, or a hoax entirely.

You can now powered ipod with your own pee

If you think everything that come out from that part of your body are waste products, thats where you are wrong, at least sperm are most important of all.
Other than that reproduction fluid. A single drop of urine also contain 1.5v of battery power, same as a AA battery, according to Dr Lee Ki Bang, Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore. (Link)

No wonder! Sometime I experience shivering during my water work time, must be the electrical charges from my urine, 1.5v X how many drops was there? is a miracle I never got electrocuted.
More, if you have many members in your family, every time they go toilet, you can now provide them plastic bag and tell them to pack'em up later for sales or keep for future, that way you can save energy or even let SP (Singapore Power) cut you electricity away, without fear.

But than, my main concern are, like that the price of those real battery will slumber, bad for the economic, many will lost their job.
