Scientists are today reporting that Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, has several times the oil reserves that all of earth has. Apparently Titan’s atmosphere is full of hydrocarbons and is filled with Lakes of Ethane and Methane. It literally rains Petrol there.

I predict that soon enough, the United States will declare Titan to be a terrorist heaven and declare a war on them, and will invade… no, “liberate” Titan from the evil forces. It has nothing to do with the massive Oil deposits there, of course.

Sarcasm aside, this is super cool, no? I think this is a great incentive for us to send a spacecraft out there and start mining Titan!

The power of the Drunk Man is truly magnificent. Reuters has this fantastic story where a drunk dude threatened to “blow up half of Brisbane” with nothing but a TV remote control . The paramilitary forces were brought in to bring down the drunk “and save the city”

Talk about stupidity. In my limited experience, the right way to take down a drunk threatening to blow up a city is to offering him free tickets to a movie. That always works.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently: Why do cellphone operators charge as much as Re. 1 for sending a simple SMS? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Consider this: A SMS is basically 160 chars + some headers = about 200 bytes of data transfered over the network. Cost = 100p/200 bytes = 0.05 paise per byte. For a much higher-speed GPRS/EDGE connection, operators charge 10p per 10kb. Cost = 10p/10000 bytes = 0.001 paise per byte. That means, operators are overcharging for SMS by 500% !!!

It just doesn’t make any sense. It costs Airtel and Idea and all these operators less that 0.2 paise to send an SMS across the network, but they charge Re. 1, because they CAN. It’s ridiculous. I’d much rather log into my gmail account and send an e-mail instead of SMS!

The Japanese are really innovative people, you’ve got to hand it to them. Reuters is reporting on their latest plan: To launch paper rockets from the International Space Station to see if the paper-rockets make it back to earth! Too funny!

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!

Oh, this is just great! Building a super-computer that knows everything. Haven’t the movies warned us about things like these? A super-duper-computer that knows everything and one day, it becomes self-aware and decides it doesn’t like humans and sets out to destroy them. Oh! Why don’t people learn?

As the world’s most powerful Particle Accelerator prepares to go online in May ‘08, there is an increasing community of people that are getting worried. They claim that the LHC, as it is called, is powerful enough to create what are called ‘mini-black holes’ that will gobble up the earth. These are real black holes, the kinds that suck in everything.

I can already hear you say “That’s just a conspiracy theory, nothing is going to happen”, but get this: CERN, the organization building this thing, is itself admitting that there is a non-zero probability that the black-hole will really form. And then we’re all going to be squished into a dense, hot, dark black hole.

It was nice knowing ya’ll!
