“Located western edge of Sahara desert at central Mauritania in northwest Africa, there is a giant circle called Richat Structure, whose diameter ranges as long as 38km.
First, Richat structure was considered an impact crater. However, by the fact that it doesn’t contain any particular mineral and that the depth is too shallow for its diameter, it is considered a dome structure formed by intrusive rock. Rim of the dome is composed of quartzite, which is quite strong against erosion and higher than the surrounding area by about 100mt.
As seen at the upper part of the image, Makteir sand dune spreads to the north of Richat Structure.”

MacBook dipped in yogurt
Just dipped my MacBook in yogurt… Spend an hour trying to clean a flooded ethernet and two firewire ports. Finally decided to open up the case. Now I have two extra screws…

The Flash Blog » The iPad provides the ultimate browsing experience?
Wow. That’s a pretty damning demo.
Which would have looked like this if it had been rendered in Flash instead of a JPEG:
Guess I’ll have to get used to the blue legos; until you get used to the rapidly accelerating irrelevance.

"By creating legal uncertainty for the Internet operators, ACTA will force them to bend under the pressure of entertainment industries. ACTA will compell Internet service providers to filter and remove content and services, turning them into private police and justice auxiliaries. We cannot tolerate that restrictions to fundamental rights and freedoms be imposed by private actors. Such a modification of criminal law by governments themselves, in total opacity, shows how much the people behind ACTA hate democracy."
