Again and again the question keeps coming back to me. Is climate change a product of human activities, or a product of human marketing?. My answer is always the same, I have no idea, but I somehow have a strong tendency to the first option. We know science is not a democracy, but let the climatologist do their best and shed some light at the matter.

I never understood why Apple has to put just one button to their computer mice, but I know, I'm a PC.

I guess we all agree we won't be going to Jupiter this year either. But we can always be excited about yet another phone.

Question

In these days, when many of us will take a plane to go back home for Christmas, something went through my head. If the plane you are in has to do an emergency landing on water, the crew instructions clearly state that one should not inflate the life jacket inside the cabin, as doing so may prevent other passengers from leaving the plane. Knowing this, will you wait to be outside the plane, in the water to realise that your life jacket does not work?

No ice please.

Climate change?, I don't know. Lack of common sense? I'm sure. Somehow people don't remember from one year to the next one how dangerous driving on ice is. If not for yourself, please do it for the body of my car that will be parked as long as a bit of ice remains.

Too efficient.

As a joke note that called my attention here goes a good example of 'not so good' engineering. It turns out that the incandescent light bulbs used until now in traffic lights were not that inefficient and had a pretty unknown side function. In several cold weather American States it has been reported that the new, more efficient, LED lights installed are not producing enough heat to melt the snow that accumulates on them, resulting in an increase on traffic accidents.

This is the first official picture of the new film based on the American Action television series the A Team. The very famous four characters created by Stephen J. Cannel, who literally invaded our TVs on the 80s during 98 episodes, are now brought the the cinema by the independent Joe Carnahan (Smoking Aces) - who by the way was offered to direct Mission Impossible III but rejected it -

The actors, who will bring this new production to life by representing a group of ex-United State Special Forces being on the run from the military for crime the didn't commit, are Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Sharlto Copley as Murdock, Quinton Rampage Jackson as M.A Baracus and Bradly Cooper as Phoenix.

When we talk about carbon footprint is not always clear what we mean by it. Carbon.to is a sleek web application that lets you compare CO2 emissions from actions in our everyday's life.
