Apple Buys Siri

Users can speak commands like "send a taxi to my house" or "get me a girlfriend who is just as fanatical about Apple as I am" and other impossible tasks.

The software uses GPS and speech-recognition technology, and the application translates the commands and uses search algorithms 
to find answers.

Hmmm. Trying to get rid of Google's search service off the iPhone, iPod Touch and the New iPad.

Earth Day 2010

The May issue of Discover magazine, the one with The New Moon on the

about how the dust winds of Africa affect the Rain forests in South America.

And how the Dust Winds of China do the Same to Hawaii.

It also retold the devastating story about the American Dust Bowl and the 

ecological problems we produced as we tamed the West.
