Whatever this thing is, I want one

Motorcycle? Car? Segway? What is this thing? "The electric vehicle will boast a 200 miles per charge driving range, a top speed of 120 mph, and the ability to withstand the impact of a large SUV without tipping over." It's not a flying car, but we're getting there. That's some awesome technology.

Whose job?

Here's something I thought was worth sharing: This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Webroot Support Twitter account hacked

I wasn't sure where to put this, but it seems Webroot Support's Twitter account has been hacked. This morning, I received a Direct Message (as I follow them) saying "Hello some person is saying terrible rumors about you..." along with a suspicious link. I've posted a screenshot below. I immediately changed my Twitter password just to be on the safe side. http://i.imgur.com/2GTGC.png

The Definition of Acceleration

Read this thru slowly and try to comprehend the amount of force produced in just under 4 seconds! There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car! DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster's supercharger. With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock a

Coffee (a geeks best friend) is good for you

As if we needed any more reason to drink this magical elixir, an article appearing in many web portals describes the additional health benefits of consuming lots of java may extend not only your marathon gaming sessions, but also your life (as in your Real Life).

Amazon review on Milk by Edgar

Many people may wonder, "Why is Kit sending us to go see a review about milk on Amazon.com? It's milk. It's a review." While even a "Tastes good. I like it. Five stars." review would be admittedly more interesting than internet security, this one is substantially more interesting than... well... a lot of things really. Go ahead and take a peek, especially if you are fond of Poe.

Abraham Lincoln Filed a Patent for Facebook in 1845

I just read a very interesting article. It turns out Abe Lincoln had his own Facebook type profile printed on a one page newsletter with a profile pic and everything. He filed a patent for it in 1845 which was denied. Check out the article and let me know what you think! Abraham Lincoln Filed a Patent for Facebook in 1845 here is a snippet from the article: "Lincoln was requesting a patent for “The Gazette,” a system to “keep People aware of Others in the Town.” He laid out a plan where every town would have its own Gazette, named after the town itself. He listed the Springfield Gazette as his Visual Appendix, an example of the system he was talking about. Lincoln was proposing that each town build a centrally located collection of documents where “every Man may have his own page, where he might discuss his Family, his Work, and his Various Endeavors.”

Approving Images on Forum

I am wondering how long does it take to approve an image on the Webroot Forum? I've noticed a few posts with no images approved: http://community.webroot.com/t5/Non-Techie/Tranquilized-bear-falls-safely-out-of-a-Boulder-CO-tree/td-p/4109 http://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie/To-all-you-Community-Android-Fans/m-p/4407#M6 Also I submitted 2 images on my profile page that state "awaiting approval" since Sunday April 29th and have not been approved yet.

Artistic Takes on Original 150 Pokemon

Happy Friday! As I searched for something funny or exciting to post before a much-looked-forward-to weekend, I have to say that there's not much excitement in the news world today. Fortunately, I just happened to stumble upon a featured CNN article about an art project called Pokemon Battle Royale launched by Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis where the curators asked 151 different artists from all backgrounds to create and submit their renderings of all the original 151 Pokemon! More on the project here. As a kid, I loved playing the games and even collected the cards for a while... So why not kick off the weekend by reminiscing about happy childhood memories with some out-of-the box takes on the wildly popular "gotta catch them all" characters. Have a great weekend everyone!

Tranquilized bear falls safely out of a Boulder, CO tree!!

Hey All, What better way to kick off this great new Community forum (and the weekend) with a good laugh from something you surely don't see every day. What looks like a Photoshopped image of a flying bear is in fact a real photograph of a tranquilized bear falling out of a tree onto a soft mat. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife department were called after this young bear was seen chilling in that tree near some dorms at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
