Apple Buys HP Campus in Cupertino

Apple bought the HP Campus in Cupertino making it the largest land owner in the city. They paid $300 million for the 98 acre site. The HP site connects to another 50 acres that Apple bought in 2006. Apple now has room to grow even more :-)

Another Reason Japan Is Cool

You have to love the Japanese. They still love Darth Vader :-)

Security Firms Mad At Microsoft

Security firms are now mad at Microsoft for distributing Security Essentials for free. Microsoft's software is so poorly designed from a security standpoint that an entire industry grew to take care of this security problems. Rather than building an OS that is secure, Microsoft now offers a security add-on for free. Why this is not part of the standard build makes no sense from a software design standpoint.

That is Microsoft for you!

Formula 1 vs. Street Cars

Just how fast is a Formula 1 car? This video will give you an idea. :-)

Hasselblad H4D - Ferrari Edition

This one has me confused. Hasselblad just announced a special edition of the H4D. It is an H4D Ferrari Limited Edition. They will only make 499 of them.

Honestly, who buys these things?

Bacon Alka-Seltzer

Sinking Boat

This is great! Julien Berthier designed a fully functioning boat that looks as if it is sinking. It is hilarious. See the video at the link.

This is the funniest thing that I seem in awhile.

How Do Cats Drink

Some MIT professors did a study to determine how cats actually drink liquids. This is a pretty amazing story. Cats use their tongues to draw liquid up and into their mouths without breaking the surface of the liquid. Unlike a dog who largely just slobbers. :-)

Crow Adopts Kitty

This is a heartwarming story!

This Swiss stuntman, Yves Rossy, flies with a jetpack after jumping from a hot air ballon. This is cool!

NASA's New Plane

NASA has received a budget of $15 million to build a new supersonic plane. Unlike the SR-71 Blackbird which only flew three times the speed of sound, this new plane will be able to exit the atmosphere somewhere between Mach 5 and Mach 20. I can't figure out how they are going to build this for only $15 million.

Can't get enough bacon? Who can? Now you can get your bacon in soda form. It is about to be the holiday season. Stock up for your favorite bacon lover :-)
