Win $30 million. How?

Well, here is a good chance to win some lifetime pocket change of $30 million. It’s a contest, and it sure isn’t doing a review for a site, giving someone a backlink, but a contest in which you have to make a operated robotic rover to land on the moon and beam video/data back to Earth.

Doesn’t that sound nice? 

All you have to do is build a simple rover, that will go up to moon, and send some info back here.  Well, the contest money is sponsored by Google and the X-Prize The awardfrom google is $20 million and the other $10 M is from X-Prize

The second-place finisher will get five million, with another five million slotted as a bonus prize.

The new purse is a follow-up to the successful ten-million-dollar Ansari X Prize, which challenged teams to create a private spacecraft.

 What’s the purpose of this competition?

spark a second space race to animate the scientific imagination and innovation of Internet-generation youths across the globe.

Hmm, so does that mean we’ll soon be able to communicate with people in the universe. I guess, we’ll have a whole new perspective on other objects in space.

We’ll see how this goes.

Buying a PC is hard, even more complicated for Vista

With Windows Vista coming soon, it’s going to become more complicated to choose which computer to purchase.Microsoft has tried to figure out a way to advise consumers on what kind of PC they need to run Vista. This new advice system might help consumers make better decisions when buying computers, but it’s not going to provide all the answers.You have to look for computers that say “Vista Capable” or “Vista Premium Ready.” The Vista Capable machines will run the Windows Vista Home Basic version, which is essentially just a more modern version of the current Windows XP Home edition.The Vista Premium Ready machines will run Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, which runs the rich 3-D interface called Aero Glass. Aero Glass allows you to organize your files in three dimensions and see through translucent images of files or Web pages.The cheapest PCs available today aren’t necessarily configured right to run Vista Home Premium. They might have too much processing power and too little main memory or graphics. Naturally, Intel (which makes microprocessors) doesn’t agree with this, while Nvidia and Samsung (which, respectively, make graphics and memory chips) do.

Suspect Emancipated

Just when we all thought life was heading to a more suitable form of peace where terrorism was minimizing, we find out the bitter truth. Elite terrorist group, Al-Qaida, had one of its old suspected members who was adeptly skilled at computers and planned many operations emancipated. He was initially arrested in Pakistan on July 13, 2004, but according to the News Network International, he was reported free on Monday. Both Khan the suspect’s defense lawyer and Pakistan’s Attorney General have confirmed the boy’s diffusion into the open world.

The reason he was caught as a victim of the cause was because many files were found containing information on a plot to attack buildings in the United States and the UK. There was a positive side to his arrest for he exercised mutiny in the group and contributed to the arrest of Musaad Aruchi, a senior member of the terrorist group. British Authorities, however, arrested 13 more members of a British terrorist cell which Khan has notably communicating with, in accordance to NNI.

Meet with Approval

From the understanding of the text and the level of my perception, I believe that Meet with Approval is beneficial mostly for those who need to arrange quick, large meetings. If one needs to organize a meeting in a short span of time, Meet with Approval is great; however, meetings that are a distant from time and space and can be arranged by a simple email shows that it is not all that necessary. A downside of this site is that its a very new site and is not used as much as the classic email. Many entrepreneurs are not exposed to this new luxury and this technology is fairly new. From my views, its great for large meetings but not for small ones, email is good for that. Concerning privacy, the emails of the elite class would be distributed to the webmaster;thus, the webmaster has access to some of the top email addresses.

Rivalry of Encyclopedia

The rivalry that will exist in the near future between Citizendium and Wikipedia would not be as intense as predicted. Since Citizendium is a relatively a new source of encyclopedia in the market, it will take a while getting its reputation and status up in the market. Moreover, the uniqueness rising in Citizendium already exists among Wikipedia and its information. However, there are some positive sides of Citizendium. It is going to be edited by only the professionals and the experts in the particular subject. Its most powerful weapon will be its biggest weakness as well. Since only experts edit it, information believed to be accurate is going to be accurate. If the experts themselves are inaccurate in their information, the information corresponding to their
topic would be way off; thus, making it just like Wikipedia but with less liberty. By the time Wikipedia’s foe gets its reputation up, Wikipedia would probably even more widespread and used.
