There’s something very very suspicious going on with the global banks. Yesterday, a story broke out that banks like CitiBank, Bank of America and the rest have borrowed $50 Billion from the US Federal Reserve. It sounds like the US government is “bailing” out these banks that are finding themselves in the middle of a [...]

IBM, it seems, is planning to build “a global-scale shared computer capable of hosting the entire Internet as an application“. That means that this super-computer will have enough processing power and storage to rival ALL of the computers connected to the internet COMBINED!

This dramatic price increase despite a global slowdown can mean only one thing: We’re running out of oil and [...]
