J. J. Abrams goes to the "dark side"

I'm still quite amazed this is the man who kicked started the Star Trek film series back to life and about to go on to revive Star Wars after three not so amazing prequels. Good for him! If he can do to Star Wars what he did with Star Trek, the future of the two sci-fi pillars look pretty great!

If social was real life...

There's no hiding from it. In reality, all those pictures of lunches and dinners you've ever posted on social media would look exactly like this in reality. This, of course, also applies to status updates of absolutely mundane things that we generally wouldn't shout about around 20 years ago. Brave new world we're living in huh?

Moral of the story? Don't post pics of your food... It's bad table manners anyway (note to self: quickly delete all pics tagged with #foodporn immediately!)

Hand sanitation in space

This is weird... How astronauts wash their hands in space. The liquid looks a bit dodgy when it's attached to the hand. Interesting stuff though.

Credit agency sued by US government

The BBC today reported Standards & Poor's will be sued by the US government. Two years ago, the BBC already reported that S&P has suffered a fraudulent ethical breakdown according to the SEC. Not long after, the credit agency went on to downgrade several nations at the beginning of last year. The agency, of course, denies all wrong doing in the lawsuit that will focus on the agency's high ratings in 2007 of mortgage-backed securities that later collapsed. All in all, some accountability in action. Not a bad thing.
