Remember the Milk
Ok no problem. I like soy milk, its a good mix for my protein shake. Or 1% lactose free. But here I am not just talking about milk. You can remember pretty much anything with RememberTheMilk.
I have tried all kinds of task management sites and GTD (getting things done) software. They all have some niceties and annoyances. RTM is so far the best for me. I bet it needs some improvement also. But it has a nice web app, and syncs with your blackberry task app. Very good iPhone web-app. And bunch of google/gmail add-ons. You need a pro account for $25/year for these. You can make sets and share with people, so you have a task management for family or office. It works with iCal, but one way sync only, so you can see your task in To-Do section.
It needs a good widget or simple task app for Mac. If you are using Firefox, you can have offline copy of the tasks with google gears.
So until something better comes up, this is my task management tool.
And it has a cute cow icon :)

Toshiba Builds 100x Smaller Micro Nuclear Reactor
Toshiba has developed a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. The new reactor, which is only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, small businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs.
The 200 kilowatt Toshiba designed reactor is engineered to be fail-safe and totally automatic and will not overheat. Unlike traditional nuclear reactors the new micro reactor uses no control rods to initiate the reaction. The new revolutionary technology uses reservoirs of liquid lithium-6, an isotope that is effective at absorbing neutrons. The Lithium-6 reservoirs are connected to a vertical tube that fits into the reactor core. The whole whole process is self sustaining and can last for up to 40 years, producing electricity for only 5 cents per kilowatt hour, about half the cost of grid energy.
Toshiba expects to install the first reactor in Japan in 2008 and to begin marketing the new system in Europe and America in 2009

10% of Broadband Users Eat 80% Bandwidth, P2P Not to Blame
No, p2p is no longer the single biggest traffic whore, responsible for only 20 percent of total traffic. It's streaming video, like YouTube and Hulu, which is now 50 percent of total traffic. Which explains Comcast's flip on network management and why it's a total smokescreen.

Firefox 3's new bookmarking system
Firefox 3 introduces a few new features to bookmarks that I think makes them much, much easier to use, more useful in general, and much more useful in particular for catastrophically disorganized folk like me. The three main features being introduced are: Bookmark Stars, Bookmark Tags, and Smart Bookmark Folders.

The truth.
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment.
Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer."

At least use wired and bluetooth headsets to keep the phone away from your brain. Assuming your brain is located at the upper part of your head.
