When Entrepreneurs turn on Capitalism

25 January 2008
Filed under: Culture, Absurd or Outrageous, Business/Technology

I always find it so disingenuous when billionaires turn on capitalism. They’ve made their fortunes yet decry tax cuts, blame capitalist countries for poor countries, turn to the advocacy of a socialist state. Like Warren Buffett calling for the increase of taxes yet I don’t see Warren Buffett giving half or more of […]

Here’s a bit of information on China’s state-sanctioned organ harvesting. Another wonderful export from the Chi-comms.

It’s all just a protectionist agenda

China is blaming Mattel Inc. for their defective products and quality control. Course, China’s only requirement for quality control is get the product out the door as fast as possible never mind if there’s lead or rat poison in the product. For China ( A COMMUNIST REGIME & COUNTRY) it’s all about short […]

One cause of high gas prices - refineries

When the media interviews someone filling their tank at a pump why is it the person never complains about one of the real culprits of the cost of a gallon of gas?  Enviromental groups driving regulations.  Congress, through the influence of enviro lobbying groups, has regulated ourselves out of the business of refining crude.  The […]

Super Hero Suits of Armor now a reality

Oh yeah, this is COOL!
It seems crazy, Robert R. Schiller admits: the notion that you could shield yourself from bullets, shrapnel, and knives by donning the equivalent of a wet suit. But by early next year the president and chief operating officer of Armor Holdings Inc. (AH ) aims to be selling what he describes […]

ESCs (Embryonic Stem Cells) - The Big Con

20 July 2006
Filed under: Technology/Medical, Business/Technology

As Michael Fumento says this is all about money. It’s psuedoscience wanting your taxpayer dollars when there is no science to show any success whatsoever. At the same time these psuedoscientists attack the verifiable success of ASCs (Adult Stem Cells). This is no different than the hoax and propaganda foisted on the public regarding global […]

Lab-grown cartilage fixes damaged knees

Filed under: Business/Technology

I thought of my Dad when I read about this new medical breakthrough. He’s been through one knee replacement and his other knee is pretty much bone on bone. But he is still more active than many 20 years his junior. But there’s a cost for his 20 to 40 mile biking treks.
The new study […]

Lost Connection

FINALLY - got my internet connection back!  Late yesterday afternoon it just went poof!  On the one hand, having a satellite connection has been a god-send.  On the other hand, it sucks at times.  But when I think of the alternative (dial up at a reaaaalllly slow rate) guess I’m happy to have this option. 

GM Highwire - Auto of the not too distant future

28 June 2006
Filed under: Videos, Business/Technology

This is just too cool.  It reminds of the video from Bill Hobbs.  It uses water converted to hydrogen to fuel the vehicle.  There’s other features that are amazing too.  From the video they estimate ten to fifteen years for this to make it to market. 
Saw this through Pajamas Media which linked to James Hudnall.

New Energy Source Already Developed - It’s Freakin’ Awesome

You have to go check out the video at Bill Hobbs. This is the most viable and real alternative I've ever seen. Forget ethanol and bio-diesels. HA! Too bad Archer Daniels and Cargill. And you know what's even sweeter?
One guy developed this with NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING! The Army is already working on conversions for it's […]
