Robot rights? Maybe by 2056

Imagine being sued by a robot for repair maintenance. I simply couldn’t imagine that but experts predict that this would likely happen in the year 2056. I believe robots would eventually replace us human in certain sector but not all, possibly in the packaging lineup or washing, something that does not require much common sense. Then the whole slavery thing repeats itself. Freedom, eventually!

Flowing water' found on Mars

I guess they were right about water flowing on Mars, new images showed that there might be a possibility the human race will live on mars. The surface of Mars is too cold for liquid water to exist, but scientists believe underground water filtered to the surface carrying debris downslope long enough to form the gullies before it froze.

Michael Mayer, head of Nasa’s Washington-based Mars Exploration Programme, said: “These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars.”

Moon Base By 2020

There you go, VOA News reports that Nasa plans to build a moon base. With the US and her on going war, I wonder how is Nasa going about funding the project knowing that the US is in big debt. If thing continue to worsen, a recession might hit and there goes the human civilization.

The United States says it plans to establish the first permanent human base on the moon by 2020 at the latest. The space agency NASA has revealed its plans for locating the outpost and for a landing craft that would carry astronauts from the base to explore other regions. VOA’s David McAlary reports from Washington.

No image of the moon base from Nasa but here are some of the past concept by artist around the world.

Free wireless Internet for 3 years!

Free wireless Internet for 3 years!Free Wifi for everyone? This is simply too good to be true. Singapore’s government is giving their citizen free net access, probably with some limitation but then since it is free, it should be something to cheer about. On the other hand, Singapore is one of the most dense country in the world and there bound to be so hundreds of unsecured network, all one have to do is click the connect button and surf and … wait for the police to come knocking on your door. I wonder, what happen to Google’s free wifi?

It took barely two months after Lee Hsien Loong’s announcement for the three Internet service providers to put up a spectacular show in the Little Red Dot.

Funded by the Singapore government, and operated by iCell Network, QMax Communications and SingTel, the Wireless@SG will offer free wireless Internet for the next three years.

The island-wide wireless Internet service is deployed at 600 hot spots from today. The number of hot spots is to increase to 5,000 by September next year. The service is free at 512kbps. Those who want faster access will have to pay about S$10 a month. - Jeffooi
