Nicht Google ist böse, sondern US-Behörden


Überraschung! Auf Daten, die bei Google gespeichert sind, kann selbstverständlich auch von US-Sicherhietsbehörden zugegriffen werden. Was bisher eher wie eine Verschwörungstheorie klang, ist nun von Google-Chef Eric Schmidt aufgedeckt worden. Christian Stöcker beschreibt das und einiges anderes auf Spiegel-Online: Google will die Weltherrschaft.

Bizarre Lights over Norway


Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.

The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.

Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

LHC Reaches Record Energy


Yesterday evening the Large Hadron Collider at CERN for the first time accelerated protons in both directions of the ring to 1.18 TeV. Even though the 1 TeV barrier per beam was first broken a week ago, this marks the first time that the beam was in the machine in both directions at the same time, allowing possibly for collisions at a center of mass energy of 2.36 TeV. Although the test lasted mere minutes, it was enough to have detectors record the very first events at 2.36 TeV.

Is there an Artificial God?


In honour of Douglas' memory, Biota.org presents the transcript of his speech at Digital Biota 2, held at Magdelene College Cambridge, in September 1998. I would like to thank Steve Grand for providing this to us. Douglas presented this ''off the cuff'' which only magnifies his true genius in our eyes.
