Sharing copyrights?

Sharing stuff you have absolutely no copyrights what so ever, it's the new thing. It's not simply Youtube, Google Videos, etc, it's spawning a whole new business, for example http://www.thevideosense.com/

Here's a quote from their homepage:

"Find funny/interesting videos from the web (embedded code) add them to your own account at http://www.thevideosense.com , you send your own unique link and share 50% of the advertising revenue, why are google and youtube making all the cash?
when we can do the same as well !!"

Let's enjoy it while it lasts...

Floating windmills into the ocean

A norweigian energy company, Norsk Hydro, has developed a windmill, "Hywind", to be placed into the ocean. It will rice 80 meters above the water, that's roughly 262 feet for you ISO-handicapped people ;), and will be 120 meters submerged.

What an excellent idea! Think about it. Who cares the the deep ocean looks like? But people do care what their beach lines looks like.

Welcome to the future!
