omg! Touchable holograms. The ripple effect. No more spreading germs - in medical settings, particularly. No need to buy the actual switch - a manufactured item, just a new holo. Not "outsourcing" but "upsourcing" mmmm spell checker no like :)
And the future of the Gulf Coast (day 100, now) remains unclear, but clearly troubled. The news heads are saying that visable oil is much diminished, and isn't that swell. But wait. . . oil is still heavier than water in their universe, no? Much of the oil was 'dispersed' with yet another toxic chemical. The critters who don't just toes up will be whelping two headed -and other freakish young pups for generations. The epa, or someone, will declare Gulf Coast fauna perfectly safe to eat, so the toxicity spreads up the food chain. I've read this scenario in multiple "future history" books. The queerly malformed descendants of the last technological civilization.
Seems as tho the Brits (PM) are pushing hard on Pakistan's (nuclear) buttons. Cameron tweaks their nose on "exporting terrorism" prior to a visit to India. ("the former jewel in the crown of the BE" thx to BBC News) Expecting imminent attack from India is a Pakistani national passtime/paranoia. India has, for pete'sake, enough of its own troubles, and is stupid for not making this more clear to P. For that matter, MOST countries have enough of their own problems, (US US US!!) and need to stay the heck within their own borders.
And the highlight of my week: 92,000 leaked documents showing everything you always really suspected about the War in Afghanistan. If you are truly a revolutionary* - in the very best sense of the word - you've just got to send them some money.
*like George Washington, Thomas, Jefferson, Thomas Paine - those Revolutionaries.
