Engadget reports that a Mini Hydro Turbine concept could bring renewable energy production to your bathroom. So you shlomp a water-filter like gadget onto the pipe and get free electricity! Yippieee!

I like my last name -- it is beautiful, bold and has a meaning for me.
BUT!!!! I want to change it!

Ever since I moved from my home country I have not heard my last name pronounced right. It is very annoying, especially when the offender really butchers it ;(

 I saw this movie titled -Idiocracy- yesterday and got the impression that this is the nightmare we are about to make true. The movie starts by a simple illustration of how people with higher IQ (read "not utterly stupid") reproduce less and less. The dumbest of all (the movie shows a redneck family), quite on the contrary multiply almost every year.  The result: in 500 years the society is run by idiots and is a total mess.
