Genetibase - Software for your Scientific Success

Once I saw this, I decided the IPhone wasn’t for me!

Well, actually I was never going to buy one anyway…

Fellow ZDNet blogger, Denise Howell, having taken the time to fully explore Facebook RSS feeds in relation to a user

Next2Friends is a new venture that is soon to offer a revolutionary platform for lack of a better term “social networking”. A true and tangible extension to the online “fluff” with real world applicability. So quite simply we are offering anyone that pre-registers for free, a chance to win a new laptop every 30 days. No scam, no strings attached. Our goal is to generate a count list of possible interested parties in order to introduce a coming beta. For which you can decide at the time to join or not (not required). So, give us your email address, for which we will only use internally and within 30 days you will be notified if you win. If you do not win, your email will automatically go in to the next months drawing.

Sounds too good to be true. One email address for a chance to win a new dell laptop. Well, we couldn’t think of a better way to get people to give us their email addresses. The reason the Genetiblog is hosting this information is that some of the people at Genetibase are part of this venture. If you get spam from us, at least you know where we are.
It’s real, It’s tangible and it is almost here. Click the image below to pre-register.

Great vid… If this is for real, well then going out to purchase a little force to reckon with!

Could be cool for CPU intensive operations…

Did he say 80 times faster than the Intel?

80 times faster than the intel woodcrest http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/13/intel_woodcrest_speeds_feeds/

thats a speed of 234.4 ghz

4 of those could produce almost 1Thz of computing power!

First and foremost with the myriad of online storage services that are free, why would anyone pay for more storage of email attachments or whatever. Personally, why would anyone be storing 10GB of attachments in email anyway. For those that do, well just setup another gmail account, forward archived messages with those huge attachments to the new address and delete them from the original. Seems easier than giving Google $20 month for an additioanl 6GB.

And now to the real point; Paying Google… I wouldn’t give an extra cent to them. Not only are they making money hand over fist, but they willingly ignore and excuse copyright infringement. All while voicing an absurd arrogance that the new class action suit is a misinterpretation of laws by the people joining on. Are you serious? Is Google really the “do no evil” company telling what definitively amounts to many excellent legal scholars that it is them that do not understand laws regarding copyright infringement. Give me a break! I hope they are taken for billions. Here is a company that pretends to embrace open source, yet files software patents like the worlds coming to an end. Then tells everyone they are wrong, and that nothing they do regarding You Tube is illegal. Then, touting a coming copyright infringement smart system designed to prevent the material in question from being processed. As we all know, give a good hacker a reason, then consider the lock broken. They know and simply do not care that a majority of their revenue comes from contextual advertising on pages with copyrighted material as the viewing driver.

I have no problem with Google making money, a business like no other. And, within reason they provide some excellent services. But, and that is a huge BUTT, they are doing it while pretending to be a semi-altruistic, earth loving, energy conserving, for the people corp. Which for most intelligent people, in its simplest form is an insult.

For those interested in paying google for more storage here is the breakdown.

* 6 GB ($20.00 per year)

* 25 GB ($75.00 per year)

* 100 GB ($250.00 per year)

* 250 GB ($500.00 per year)

(Note: Initially, the price for the 6 GB option was $1, but Google quickly changed it to $20.)

What to say about this… Seriously… Some of Manson’s songs are pretty good. And throughout the “Marilyn Manson” history I most often took him to be just an eccentric person. But, the recent news of one of his former band mates suing him, and that Manson is into buying Hitler artifacts really puts it over the edge for me. I don’t really have a position on his music, I don’t really care that much. But, buying Eva Braun’s reported handbag is just whacked. I mean if you are a collector of historically significant items, then maybe… But, he gave it to his fiancé’ as a gift… A gift!!! Manson apparently likes to collect Nazi paraphernalia… I just don’t get it… And, if he was smart (as smart as he likes to portray) he would down play this publicly. Although, even that wouldn’t change my opinion now.
Agree?
