Billionaire Larry Ellison, the 3rd richest American according to Forbes, has purchased Lanai which is the 6th largest Hawaiian island.
At $500,000,000 it was quite a steal considering it breaks down to a tiny 0.13 cents a square foot. A great 500 million USD investment by the Oracle CEO.
Lanai is a destination of untouched tranquility, relaxation and tranquility. A golfers paradise, no distraction or hustle and bustle like Oahu.
This romantic island is a true getaway, though they also have a Four Seasons five star hotel.
The rich get richer. Congratulations, Mr. Ellison on obtaining Hawaii’s most enticing island. Well played sir and Aloha.
DARPA’s M3 Robotic Cheetah set a new land speed record for legged robots. The Robot Cheetah was able to gallop at 18 mph on a lab treadmill.
Testing of a free running cheetah robot prototype is planned for later in 2012. The cheetah robot was developed by Boston Dynamics.
The robot’s movements are patterned after those of the cheetah in nature, increasing its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step.
DARPA video demonstration of M3 Cheetah Robot:
DARPA – Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, supplies technological options for the entire Department of Defense and is designed to be the technological engine for transforming DoD.
Ground robots have already saved many lives and preventeds thousands of injuries in military explosive disposal missions.
Robots may more effectively assist soldiers across a greater range of missions.
DARPA’s M3 – Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program seeks to create and demonstrate significant scientific and engineering advances in robot mobility and manipulation capability.
Maximum Mobility and Manipulation or Terminator? Unleash the hounds.
Mercedes Benz and the F-CELL Invisible Car want to know how to promote the most innovative drive technology in the World.
Mercedes-Benz presents F CELL hydrogen fuel cell technology to the World Video:
Invisible Cars = 0 emissions, buddy. Mercedes car engineers claim zero emissions with this F-CELL technology since it emits only water vapor after burning the hydrogen fuel.
German automobile engineering. Mercedes-Benz: the best or nothing.
How to reverse aging – will the enzyme telomerase be used in our lifetime to reverse the aging process?
Telomerase is a RiboNucleo protein that is an enzyme which adds DNA sequence repeats and prevents constant loss of important DNA from chromosome ends.
Aging is the buildup of cellular error acccording to Michio Kaku. Starve cells and they will live longer, perhaps 30% longer. This is a known way to extend the life of organisms.
The enzyme telomerase allows for replacement of short bits of DNA known as telomeres, which are otherwise shortened when a cell divides via mitosis.
With the presence of telomerase, each dividing cell can replace the lost bit of DNA, and any single cell can then divide unbounded.
Telomerase therapies may be used to combat cancer and extend lifespan significantly.
Laboratory experiments on mice with resveratrol have reported beneficial cardiovascular effects and lowering of blood sugar.
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and in other fruits. Red wine contains very little resveratrol. Better to eat or juice the red grape.
With resveratrol and other enzymes, we are finding tantalizing pieces of the Fountain of Youth.
Will the study of enzymes like resveratrol and telomerase one day lead research scientists to a significant breakthrough and reversal of the aging process?

“Anonymous” hacktivists strike back over internet censorship SOPA, PIPA and in retaliation for the federal agents piracy raid and shutdown of Megaupload, a massive file sharing site with 50 million daily users and 3% of internet traffic.
Armed officers raided an Auckland mansion occupied by Kim Dotcom, whose Megaupload website was shut down by US authorities on Thursday, accusing it of one of the largest cases of copyright theft ever.
The police seized luxury cars worth NZ$6.0 million [USD$4.8 million] including a 1959 pink Cadillac and a Rolls Royce Phantom. NZ$11 million in cash held in New Zealand financial accounts were also frozen.
Anonymous has answered by temporarily shutting down government websites including the official website for the US Federal Bureau of Investigation at FBI.gov FBI Homepage
and the Department of Justice, as well as music and movie sites Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.
Washington DC wants to extradite the Auckland Four to face prosecution for massive worldwide online piracy of numerous types of copyrighted works,
through Megaupload.com and related sites, on charges of racketeering and money laundering that could carry jail time of up to 20 years.
“ Even without SOPA having been passed yet, the federal government already has tremendous powers to do some of the things that they want to do.
This occurred without SOPA being passed – imagine what will occur after SOPA is passed, and PIPA and things of that nature.
They plan on fighting to the end and so do we.” – Barrett Brown
