CIA fears Iran duped U.S. into Iraq war

CIA fears Iran duped U.S. into Iraq war - (United Press International)This would be a major turn up for the books this is clandestine manipulation on a Mossad scale if the Iranian intelligence service have managed to trick the US and by proxy GB into ousting Saddam, although i'm not sure what their reasons would be, i suppose the country is now destabilised and they can send agitators in themselves......makes you wonder though

Cell processor in a tv?? mmmm technology

News for nerds writes "Sony Corp plans to offer a broadband television by 2006 that would incorporate the powerful new 'Cell' processor it is developing with IBM Corp. and Toshiba Corp. The Cell processor is expected to power the upcoming PS3 console, a workstation, server, and other home appliances to form Cell-based P2P network. The sample production of the processor has already started. In PlayStation 3, TV props you!"

Life, the Universe and why stats can make you feel better

Life eh?? whats the point of it all? We get up every day, shower, dress (iron a t shirt) leave the house and either get in our cars (or other peoples) and travel to a place of work. Sit there for 7.5 hours (maybe have some lunch) then turn around and head home. We relax, watch tv and sleep, then we do it all again. Its kinda depressing to think that in this week where Scientists (you go guys) have discovered that the UNIVERSE is actually a billion years older than they thought it was (14.3 instead of 13.3) that we spend so much of our infitisamal time on the planet in such mundane pursuits!!! Average life span of a western man in the UK, what is it now? 86 maybe? 90 possibily, so i'm sitting here at 28 (soon to be 29) that's a third of my time used up already (at the high end as well!!!) a third!!! thats ridiculous!! i haven't DONE ANYTHING YET!!! and i've used a third of the time up!! This of course is a failing in our species as our young are so crap they can't do anything on their own for the first 18 years (some parents may disagree with this low figure!!) So technically if you remove the first 18 years from the figure of 90 that leaves us with 72, and then technically i've only been independent for 10 years so really i'm only 1 seventh of the way thru my life!!!! Damn thats a relief i was starting to get depressed about that!!!

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | EU 'confident' of star power site

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | EU 'confident' of star power site: "One kilogram of fusion fuel would produce the same amount of energy as 10,000,000 kg of fossil fuel" Thats a pretty amazing fact!!! look slike Fusion will become the norm in a few years time, at least in the West anyway, don't think this will transpose or filter to the poorer nations anymore easily than Nuclear power has. Looks like the gap is about to get bigger people!! Its a dog eat dog world, and we're a great big snarly mastiff
