It's been a strange summer for online content and Simon Owens at The Next Web asks an obvious question -
should bloggers have control over ads or not?
It's a non-issue here, of course - every writer on Science 2.0 can simply choose not to carry ads on their work and no ads are shown and no money is paid in that case. Otherwise, the bulk of the revenue is paid out to writers based on traffic.
A few weeks ago, an event occurred that added another layer of drama to one of the biggest controversies in video gaming history - namely, who is the King of Kong. Donkey Kong, that is.
If you've never seen "The King of Kong", a documentary about the Donkey Kong controversy, you won't be aware of the fuzzy favoritism of the 'official' record keepers for retro video game scores, Twin Galaxies, who happen to be close friends and business associates of the record holder since the early 1980s, Billy Mitchell.

Junk food will make your waistline bigger, which is bad for you, and candy is no exception. But candy that makes your

Should you happen to be in Washington, D.C. in October and at House of Sweden, the Swedish Embassy, you will get a chance to see a fireball red colored car that delighted Europeans who like tiny red cars earlier this year.
It's called the Baldos II and it is a hybrid auto built by engineering students at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden. So what?
The fuel tests show it can run 152.2 kilometers on a liter of fuel, whatever that means - in Sweden, they use some primitive system invented during the French Revolution to stick it to the English, so I am not certain but that sounds like 357 MPG. Or approximately 12X my tiny convertible's mileage!
