We are getting some amazing lightning storms today. Unfortunetly it
has knocked out the TV signal. In the past this would have caused me
to find other ways to entertain myself, but now thanks to the wonders
of the internet I can keep on watching online, which lightning has yet
to take down. In the past I would have gone to the movies or gone to
rent a DVD or some other activity that costs money. So I can rest assured that I will be firmly entertained with out
having to leave home, something that would have been the case before
Hulu and Netflix. What amazing times we live in. Now if they can just
find a way to keep ke a d the dog from getting soaked while walking
through a thunderstorm…

10's of Millions of FaceTime Devices in 2010
I just finished watching the WWDC announcement and I have to say this line is the one that got stuck in my head. Where are these 10's of millions going to come from?
The only device presented that is compatible with FaceTime was the iPhone 4. But that only accounts for "6 to 8 million units," according to Yankee Group analyst Carl Howe, unless they updated their other devices like the iPod Touch or iPad and released them sometime this year. However a very large product line, one which was not even mentioned during the keynote, and one that is already in place with the hardware available is the Mac desktops and laptop lines that will see the first outgrowth of FaceTime. I am guessing Apple will release an update to iChat and integrate the two together to make this a reality. And with FaceTime as an open standard there is huge possibilities for companies such as Skype to integrate their already large audience to a new platform, which according to some in the company, sounds like something they are interested in. All in all I think this is the most exciting announcement to come out of the presentation and cannot wait to get my hands on a new iPhone 4!

Spaceports: Earth-Moon System Formation Date May Have Been 150 Million Years After Solar System
Earth-Moon System Formation Date May Have Been 150 Million Years After Solar System
The Earth and Moon were created as the result of a giant collision between two planets the size of Mars and Venus. However, new research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that the Earth and Moon must have formed much later - perhaps up to 150 million years after the formation of the solar system. The research results have been published in the scientific journal, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, according to a report in Moon Daily.
