Welcome To The Future: Ipod Car Remote

Controlling a car with an iPod seems like something take out of a fairytale or of a science fiction movie. But a man who is bound to set new standards, Jonathan Over, has just proven that it is possible and it can be done with the help of his newly invented program. He showed the world how he can not only write about stuff in technical publications, but also create strange yet futuristic devices.

Dealing With Ecological Crisis Sensibly

The looming ecological crisis is a hot subject these days. The crisis is man made. There are a variety of problems that have come to be clubbed under ecological crisis. Oils spills such as the Alaskan tragedy created by Exxon Valdez in 1989 and spreading toxic pollution from industries is one kind of crisis. A number of islands as in the Pacific are to be flooded out of existence due to rising sea levels, a result of man-made green house gas emissions causing global warming. More radiation from the sun reaches the earth with increasing depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Desertification and deforestation are going to make a large number of species extinct. Devastating floods are sweeping large tracts of land with the deforestation of the adjacent mountain ranges. Some 17, 000 to 100,000 species are estimated to vanish from the face of the earth each year. More than seven million square kilometers of thick forests have disappeared within the last half century. Only a fifth of the original forests still remain intact.
