POPSGoogle Chrome and Big Brother Wow. Read this and it will raise your eyebrows and make you wonder about Google. This appears in the Money report for good reason. Anyone noticed all the government, even CIA contracts, that Google has obtained lately? Consider how the "love of money is the root of all sorts of evil", and that surveillance and security merchandisers are driving the changes in government, globally, toward more totalitarian population control and that Google increasingly holds all the data and technological means they want. The public image of Google should change based upon this and other evidence as it moves closer toward the globalist corporations and the fascism they are enabling and building by partnering with governments for revenue while the people's liberties are increasingly trampled and power becomes consolidated.

POPSTwo Large Solar Projects Planned for California While I'm not extremely keen on these sort of plants -- there's no real reason to centralize solar generation like this -- it's nice to see that solar's being taken seriously. Given recent advances in photovoltaic technology, the price is coming down enough for it to be put anywhere the sun shines. In other words, there's no reason to use up huge expanses of land when you can do the same thing on rooftops. Still, any time new generating capacity comes from green tech, it's good news.

POPSBaen Books This is my favorite book site. It is not really high tech but still a fount of information. And most of my favorite writers use this publisher anyway.

POPSWhy I Love Clipmarks So, i didn't write this, I read it. It was posted by Clipmarks user onlinedesign in the "Why I Use Clipmarks" section of her profile. You can click the source link to visit her page. I wanted to clip this because it really moved me. It is exactly what i hope Clipmarks can provide for people. Knowing that we have accomplished this for some people gives me great pride and satisfaction. I could never adequately convey how impressed, inspired and grateful i am for the collective contributions of the people who share the content, thoughts, opinion, passion and perspective that gets mixed together here on clipmarks.com. I think it's truly remarkable.

POPSOil Plummet Stretches to $30 (20%!) except to the extent that they have served as catalysts for the burst, which is now of its own accord exhaling those long built up expectations of indefinite price increases. To stretch the bubble metaphor a little further, one or all of these events has served as the pin prick, which plays a crucial role in the bubble lifecycle; but it's the subsequent explosive exhalation of all the hot air inside (in this metaphor, the role of the hot air is played by the irrational expectations of endless price increases) that has yielded the cascading prices we've seen (and can hope to continue to see) over the last three weeks.

POPSCourts Strike Down Net Censorship Both First Amendment and pro-tech groups have been hugely critical of COPA, saying that the law is too broad, and would affect news or informational sites talking about mature issues, not just porn.

POPSMajor solar initiative in California This is a huge deal - highlighting the opportunity for utilities to embrace alternative sources of energy (such as solar and wind) to meet their customer's energy needs. “By harnessing the clean, renewable energy of the sun that is abundant in California, these innovative solar projects are helping to meet our long-term energy and climate change goals,” Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said. “These projects are evidence that California’s ingenuity is spurring a clean tech boom that will bring companies and investment dollars to California while reducing the state's carbon footprint.” Why in the world don't words like that come from our President??? All he wants to talk about is drilling for more oil!
