We've moved to CNN.com/TECH!

So CNN is only a blog now? I was under the impression you at least tried to do real reporting. I guess I was wrong.

P.S. – you new site is really ugly.

Yea, CNN TECH there is NO way you'll be able to compete with the likes of TUAW, Gizmodo and Engadget. These guys get their news WAY before you do and actually know what they are talking about and do so in detail. Plus their site is MUCH nicer and you don't have to pay for their iPhone Apps.

The ONLY reasons I log on to CNN TECH whilst at work is because

A. I read the politics section
B. I can't log on to Gizmodo, Engadget or TUAW at work because I'll get yelled at.

P.S. – Gizmodo, please make an app.

iCNN = iFAIL

The new site and look are terrible. It looks like something a 5 year old would put together at the last minute for a website project. And that's an insult to the poor 5 year old.

CNN really needs to get a clue.

@ Joshua
The only reason I log in is to just have fun flaming the blogs

You know what.. I'm a consumer. If I see any marketing to do with Twitter, you lose me as a customer. And Twitter, when I do an Internet search, I'm not interested in what your members are twitting about – so keep it private!

Grrrr! Really? NASA has nothing going on!! Please go to NASA/JPL at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov and take a look. We have 14 deep space missions to the "other" planets. The rovers are still going! We are launching the Mars Science Lab, Juno and Grail next year! Just because the space shuttle is being discontinued does NOT mean we do not have lots of great exciting missions going on. Please get you heads out of the sand and do your research before making such ludicrous remarks.

In my opinion, this site looks better than the new one. Maybe you should switch back?

Thanks,

ms degreed env scientist and wildlife ecologist. Worked on oil sludges but no jobs available or ability to give advice. political schemes and corrupty greedy lawyers to blame for underminining our natural heritage andf founding fathers with beaurecracy so they can take advantage on short term schemes instead or recognizing ang giving credit to the true heroes-scintists.

The United States National Security Agency (NSA) has unveiled it's latest ultimate snooping, invasive and eavesdropping tool targeting ALL Americans connected to the Nations Power-Grid!

During the utterly depraved invasive East Berlin era, the East German security forces discovered a very innovative mechanical means to connect to the city's hot water pipes supplying citizens heat radiator's which could be selectively tuned to eavesdrop and tune specifically into conversations in any residents home or dwelling! Using current computer technology, America's NSA has taken that to a new level of corrupt, invasive depravity with it's Operation 'Perfect Citizen' coming to your US Home soon!

The scope of the depraved invasion on American freedoms and liberty's in America's homes under Operation 'Perfect Citizen' is truly amazing. The NSA appears to have been given the 'Green Light' to attach NSA 'sensors' and 'computer links' to the Public Utility power feed-lines across America. This under the 'guise' of alerting the NSA against a cyber-attack upon a local Power Company's power-grid.

Americans are not universally stupid nor ignorant enough to even think the NSA cares about how much electrical energy Americans are using although in the past local heavy handed law enforcement agency's have targeted private individuals with heavy electrical energy for door busting marijuana searches.

However the vast number of American's do not realize how much information is received and carried already on the Nations Power Grid lines. Many home intra-net's now are using the power grid, metro-city areas are adopting intra-net and internet data processing thru home power grid's as direct tie-in's. ALL of the Nation's power grid operators pass messages, and ton's of information in digital and analog packet's on the very lines carrying power into your very homes!

In the most basic form, the nation's power grid forms a gigantic antenna array which picks up computer keystrokes and virtually all kinds of electrical signals which can in turn relay that specific information to the NSA under the 'Perfect Citizen' operation.

Sadly, this appears to directly go against President Obama's campaign promises of not allowing nor permitting further invasions of America's Freedoms, Liberty's and Rights which were entirely under assault during the horrific Republican administration of Bush-Cheney. Does this signal that like the CIA with Afghanistan's Opium-Heroin trafficking, America's NSA is no longer controlled by the Executive Branch of Government?

Sadly, this also signals that American citizens who thru alternative energy choose to 'go off the grid' will likely be harassed and targeted as unpatriotic and suspected of conducting unpatriotic activities.

Operation 'Perfect Citizen' illustrates the extreme height of paranoia in some of the dark, nefarious federal agency's in America much like East German security agency's prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Love the new site. This old site still has some great articles on it. I think more people should do article marketing. And it seems the new site is keeping up though. Everyone should check out the new CNN blog site.

Was very happy to find this blog.I would like to thank you for this great read!! I surely glad every little bit of it and I have bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.

Radiohead should totally use this for their next music video!

Hello,
I would like to know what Application program or platform CNN uses to flash different graphics on the big LCD screens. I would like to know so that I can try out the program at home and apply it in a school/educational setting.

Thank you,

This concerns the 'story' that the 'government' wants 62MPG by the year 2025?
At least the blame is going where it belongs – to the government. By 2025 Iceland will have been using hydrogen as fuel for cars and other internal combustion powered equipment for 7 years. They mandated the conversion 2 years ago but they're only a drop from the Saudi 'Oil' bucket, as it were.The story is of itself, pure distraction from that reality.
More media ;jamming' to keep the mindless masses distracted from the crime of the government against Mother Earth. Or why doesn't the media talk about the above? That makes CNN an accessory to the fact of the illegal destruction of the planet by the US' continued santioning of the use of petroleum products for transportation when an alternate source is available, and viable, if the corrupt politicians didn't lust for the money (graft) it garners.
If the oil in a crankcase keeps pistons from rupturing the block, and could not be replaced by water, then what does it do in the earth (for the tectonic plates maybe) and can it be removed and replaced with water? I doubt it. I also doubt if these facts get much coverage from you guys. It probably wouldn't be to career advancing to report any truth like that, huh?

Thats very cool , I was very interested in getting featured on CNN.com . I have built a movie site call webetheater.com . This site allows filmmakers at nay sucess level to sell tickets and have people watch there entire films online , go see the site I invite you to leave a comment on or page http://www.webetheater.com

Global Warming is the Indirect Effect of Burning Fossil Fuels.
Whether it is Global Cooling or Global Warming, one thing is sure that Acidity of Ocean Waters is rising Worldwide. The effect of rising acidity is that the Phytoplanktons are dying. One report is that 40% of all the Phytoplanktons are already dead. These tiny Marine organisms take up Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen by Photosynthesis. Some of these die naturally and take the Carbon compounds in them to the bottom of the Ocean and Carbon is sequestered for millions of years. These Planktons are also at the bottom of Food chain, eaten by bigger Planktons, these in turn by small fish, big fish and by the biggest. Each of these organisms also die naturally and take Carbon Compounds in them to the bottom of the Ocean.
Therefore problem is not that we are generating too much Carbon Dioxide but the lack of enough Phytoplanktons to absorb extra Carbon Dioxide. As a result the stocks of other Marine organisms are going down owing to the disappearing bottom of Food Web.
There are reports that there is iron deficiency in the Ocean Waters that are needed to bloom the Planktons.
Hypothesis I: Iron is there in the Ocean Water but deactivated by Chemical process of Chelating.

Sources of Chelating are:
1. Coal products, particularly Coal Tar are full of Aromatic Compounds which are Chelating Agents. Coal Tar is the constituents of Asphalt, Black Top, millions of tons of which are used all over the World to coat roads, parking lots, driveways etc. the constituents leach to the Rivers and then to Oceans.
2. Raw Petroleum contains Aromatic compounds and therefore, many Chelating Agents. Massive Oil Spills in the Ocean release these Chelating agents in the Ocean.
3. Dispersants used after Oil spills are more dangerous than Oil Spill itself. The following piece is from BP dispersant (US Patent no 4597893) used to control the effect of Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico and other Oil Spills all over the world. Most constituents listed are Chelating agents. These bind Metal Ions and make these inactive
“A dispersant composition suitable for dispersing crude oil or petroleum products floating on the surface of water comprises a combination of a selected non-ionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant in a suitable solvent. The non-ionic surfactant is an ester of a polyalkoxylated sorbitol or sorbitan and a fatty acid. The anionic surfactant is selected from the group comprising calcium sulphonate, magnesium sulphonate, sodium sulphonate, triethanolamine sulphonate and isopropylamine sulphonate. Suitable solvents are C5 to C10 alcohols, glycols and glycol ethers. The dispersant composition is particularly suitable for use in cold, low salinity water.”
4. Most constituents of Plastics, for example Phthalates are Chelating agents. When Plastics degrade release these compound which are released to the Rivers and then to the Ocean.
5. Most Soap, Shampoos and Household cleaners all contain Chelating agents.
6. Most drugs Metabolites included contain chelating agents.
There were fears that by large scale Fertilization of Ocean Waters could lead to Global Cooling and other problems. I propose a limited and controlled addition of Iron in the Coastal Ocean Waters. Calculate the exact amount of Iron needed to bloom Phytoplankton that will absorb and sequester Carbon Dioxide produced per day. This should be added to the Ocean within one mile of the Coast of the entire United States just before Sun rise.

X=Y
X= amount of Iron needed per day Y= Carbon Dioxide produced per day in US, known amount 16 million kilogram.
Experiment:

2.35 liter capacity BBL Anerobic jars were filled with Ocean Water with Iron added starting at 10ng to 2pg per ml. Jars were kept in sun light from Dawn to Sunset and observed accumulation of gases probably Oxygen produced by Photosynthesis by Phytoplanktons. At each concentration the accumulation was greater in the jar with Iron than the Jar in which no Iron was added. The experiment is in no way quantitative because of interference with dissolved air. The experiment should be performed in the Ocean with larger apparatus possibly10L or bigger in size with built in cylinder to collect the oxygen produced. Iron concentration to be extended to femto gram and even lower level.
After the X is determined it should be added in solution within one mile of the entire coast of the US starting at dawn of each day. A sample should be taken every 200 miles and measure, Temperature, pH, Plankton Counts and number of hours in sunlight and if possible estimate free and inactive Iron. It is possible the amount of Iron to be adjusted for the above criteria every few hundred miles.

Hypothesis II: If the hypothesis I is correct then other Metallic ions being deactivated by chelating.
Metallic ions for example, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium Arsenic etc are considered toxic above some threshold level. Each of these are essential for some living organisms including Humans at some very low concentrations. After all Life originated in the Ocean and all these elements were present in the system.
Example: Cobalt is a constituent of Vitamin B12. Deficiency of this Vitamin leads to Pernicious Anemia which will lead to Dementia in Humans. Only about 10 grams of Cobalt needed for the entire population of the United States to combat Vitamin B12 deficiency. Amount of Chelating compounds present in plastics and other substances listed above used by one person could deactivate this amount of Cobalt! There may be some metallic element needed for the entire population of US could be in the range of milligrams or even micro grams which are the beyond the sensitivity of current technology of measurements. Or not recognized by Scientists.
If the Hypotheses are correct evidence will pile up very soon with some Aquatic Animals with severe Birth defects and Massive deaths of other Aquatic organisms and ultimately will affect Land Animals including Humans. If urgent action is not taken now to control Acidity, the situation may become irreversible and no amount of actions will prevent the destruction of life on the Planet. It will face the condition that brought the Extinction of life that occurred during Permean era about 200 million years ago because of Acidification of Ocean Waters. It is thought that during that period more than 90% of life on Earth vanished. Humans may not be able to escape that fate!

Global warming is real alright. It is unfortunate that during the last cold snap and excess snow fall, the people who call Global Warming a hoax, said Global Cooling has already started. Excessive Snowfall or Rain over normal means Global Warming. During Global Cooling both Snowfall and Rain is less than normal. It is simple Physics, Vapor Pressure directly correlated with temperature. In warm periods Vapor Pressure of Water goes up and condenses as Snow or Rain. During Cooling periods Vapor Pressure goes down and therefore less Rain or Snowfall. In the Cooling periods, whatever Snow fall over the mountain builds up the Glaciers. At present because of Global Warming Glaciers are disappearing and raising the Sea levels.

Planet Earths trouble is due to Ocean acidification only about 10% of which is Global Warming. Easiest part is reversing Ocean Acidification by adding Iron to Coastal Water every day as I outlined in the last post. I believe within one year we see result.
1. Increase in Phytoplankton bloom.
2. Increase in pH (low acidity).
3. Increase in Fish population and other Marine animals
4. No increase in Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere, actually there will be some decrease.
Other countries will follow after it has been proved for United States. I will post more ideas in subsequent posts.

You can burn any amount of Fossil Fuels, Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas if following conditions are met.
1. Add exact amount of Iron daily within one mile of shore of the Ocean that will bloom enough Phytoplanktons to absorb enough Carbon Dioxide produced per day. This I explained in my last posts.
2. Burn Coal 100% along with the Tar produced. Tar also burns and produces heat.
3. Do not spill petroleum in the Ocean.
4. Use substitute for Plastics with something Natural, like Glass or metal Cans.
Contrary to popular belief, the planet will not run out of Petroleum and Natural Gas. All these Organic substances including dead Plankton, Fish and other Marine Organisms go to the bottom of the Ocean with Carbon Compounds in them. Under extreme Anaerobic condition Carbon becomes Methane. Methane is cooked under Ocean by Volcanic eruptions, Polymerize to Petroleum.

Why I think Iron is there in Ocean Water but become inactive by Chelation
In my previous posts I wrote about the report of Iron deficiency in Ocean Water. Some Companies added Iron in open Ocean to bloom Phytoplanktons that absorbed CO2 by Photosynthesis and release Oxygen to the Atmosphere. These Phytoplanktons absorbed Carbon Dioxide and released Oxygen to support life on the planet for billion years. Why should the Ocean have Iron deficiency now?
About 150 years ago Super Volcano Krakatoa erupted and spewed enough Carbon Dioxide that is produced by Human activity over a few years. Yet there was no Global Warming at that. During any Volcanic eruption it spews dusts of metallic elements and replenish those depleted elements in the Ocean. There were many Volcanic eruptions, particularly one in 1991 spewed thousands of tons of Iron dusts in the Atmosphere and those washed in the Ocean. There is still Iron deficiency. Therefore by some mechanism Iron became inactive. My Hypothesis is by Chelation. I outlined chelating agents in last posts.

The most menacing Environmental problems are Plastics. Whether in Landfill or in Pacific or Atlantic Vortex, Plastics of 10, 20, 50 years ago are beginning to disintegrate. These are releasing their ingredients (Chelating Agents) in the Rivers and Oceans. The tougher the Plastics are, for example Car Bumpers longer they take to disintegrate. As the use of Plastics are increasing exponentially, the danger from them will also grow exponentially.
