POPSUS Army invests in 'thought helmet' Strange future tech. The Army 'assures' us that they don't have plans for reading minds, but it would not take much to realize that is the direction they are going with this.

POPSUS Army Invests in 'Thought Helmet' Technology for Voiceless Communication For people concerned about the ethics of the technology, Elmar Schmeisser, the Army neuroscientist overseeing the program, reassures that the technology will not allow mind-reading. As he explains, since every user has to be trained with the system, it would be impossible to use the technology against an individual´s will and without their cooperation.

POPSPolice Threaten to Seize Bikes From Riders w/o Helmets
What! Is this America? Oh the tyranny of the ever growing Nanny & Security State! Talk about something that "threatens our way of life"--it is government that is doing it! How many grew up riding bikes without helmets, safely, and loved it that way! In essence: "We are with the government, but will act like your parent instead, and make rules for you to obey or you will lose even your bike riding privileges". This, seat belt laws, ATV laws, even radical drug laws, etc. represent a liberty-killing totalitarianism by government that thinks it can protect people from themselves. This is over the top! Seriously, look how even the newspaper portrays this new sin in New England (birthplace of liberty), like it's a scandal! Yesterday, a teenage boy was spotted pedaling near downtown without a helmet, his blond locks fluttering. Oh, what a wicked boy! Meanwhile real sins and social crimes are treated like nothing, while they destroy families, marriages,

POPSYakkay Bicycle Helmets ...a very generic helmet fitted with a hat-like cover. Meets European CE standards for protection. They offer four different options, each with a unique design. The Izmir, for example, looks something like a winter hat, while the Paris has the cut and brim of a military cap. Each cover comes in a few different colors, and can easily be switched as often as you want.

POPSNude Fire Extinguisher without Nose Hose Why do you need the useless long nose hoses in front of the Blow-Out Outlet, hanging awkwardly and ugly to your any Fire Extinguisher, if your Fire Extinguishers are installed or furnished in your office or home???? In China, one maker, World Safety just started to make 3.2 Kgs Powder and 4 Litre Foam Fire Extinguishers without the useless and awkward long black hoses at the Outlet of their new Fire Extinguishers

POPSScience Never Stops :-) This is an entertaining and fairly level headed “what the future will bring” piece. It covers the promise and perils of a pretty diverse set of topics: nuclear power, space travel, power transmission, aviation, food production, urban growth, race relations and even (sort-of) outsourcing.

POPSGuide to the Girls of Summer
Her shoes are hot in Serbia, her dress is hot in France, and she’s hot in your brain. She knows she’s a knockout as she struts her stuff into Starbucks and then off to learn Kabbalah while sporting sun glasses that double as a motorcycle helmet. Woo her with celebrity gossip and a borderline gay knowledge of fashion designer’s names. The Illusionist She’s got you ball-parking her age at anywhere between 14 and 32. She’s got you telling your friend’s she’s the hottest girl you’ve ever seen as long as she isn’t capable of sending you to jail on dates. The rule of thumb is this: if she’s got the best body you’ve ever seen then she’s too young, as any girl your age has had a few years of binge drinking and a few trips on the boyfriend express to leave her a little bit like a second hand pair of rollerblades- you can still roll but the wheels are a little worn down. Woo the young one with Milton Bradley board games and Miley Cyrus on your iPod. The Walk of Shame Girl She’s the girl
