Singpore Plans its Own Version of Pandora on Earth
Singpore Plans its Own Version of Pandora on Earth
So far you can only visit Pandora in the movies, but Singapore's planned Marina South Gardens project will combine its own man-made and natural wonders — with lush, vertical gardens scaling gigantic artificial solar trees.
Singapore is currently developing its largest garden project ever, showcasing plants from various climates. Giant fake trees collect rainwater and solar energy to power the conservatory, with vertical gardens climbing up their stems. The garden will feature separate biomes for different kinds of plants — a cool, moist biome for plants from the cloud forest and a cool, dry biome for Mediterranean plants. The first phase of the project will be completed in 2011.
Now, if only they could find biolumiscent plants to light the way in addition to the artificial lights from those solar trees.

IRON MAN 2
I was surprised how much I liked Iron Man, am not sure why, I liked the Spiderman films, Batman films (new ones), x-men, wolverine, hell I even liked Daredevil. It was probably my disappointment with the Hulk, Fantastic four (and poor Silver Surfer being dragged down by it). And don’t get me started with Watchmen, I mean, really WTF was that ending about, what happened there (if you have non idea what am talking about go get the graphic novel).
Anyway back to Iron Man 2 – we have a trailer (well apple do link below) and it’s looking good.

Gaming Cloud is coming – rejoice
The future of computing is here and now the cloud that we hear so much about is providing its first sprinkle. And once again it’s the game industry that is pulling the rest of the world along.
Currently you can sample 2 trials of true online gaming in Europe and 3 if you’re in the
www.awomo.com is making all the right noises in my mind, allowing you to try a Lara Croft game in beta – free beta sign-up for the whole world. This works with the download of a browser (no chrome L ) plug-in – then the game starts to download.
6 mins later (might be slower for slower connections), you can start playing. The rest game continues to download in the background. One complaint you don’t get to say the file location. The website say’s it will offer top titles which you can buy out-right at a cheaper rate because there is no packaging, a hire service where you can hire games for a cost, after you have hired the game 5 times it is considered bought. My favourite a monthly subscription which allows you to play all the titles (why pay for World of warcraft, when I can play lots of new games), please let it be £9.99 or less.
Another example of Gaming cloud is www.quakelive.com, Quake has always been a front runner in technology terms and here it doesn’t fail either. Beta is free again sign-up and plug-in your browser. Not sure on the future of this but as a free half-hour blast, it ran smoothly and quickly. After a quick training session you get to choose if you want to play against / with bots or people and let the frag feast begin. I opted for a game with bots as am rusty in all my FPS and 40mins later I realised just how rusty I was J I recommend giving it a quick blast.
Finally (for now) www.onlive.com is defiantly a
That’s what’s out there at the moment, am sure the big boys (come on Virgin) will swoop once the smaller companies have done the hard work. Personally I think onlive.com might be leaving the door wide open for Awomo.com to take the European market with there current strategy, but again that might just be the fact I want to try the thing and can’t J

Age of Stupid
Age of Stupid?
So a new film is out about what we are doing now to destroy the planet and about how we have a chance to fix it before we go beyond the event horizon of no return.
Age of stupid (http://www.ageofstupid.net/) is set in the year 2055 and is narrative by an archaeologist looking at footage from the year 2008 when we had a chance to make a change. I haven’t seen the film so I can’t judge it. I hope it gets its message across as it is an important message, but this blog today isn’t about the film. Why use the film as a title then? You could ask, well I think it’s wrong for this film, it’s not the Age of Stupid we live in, it’s the Century of Greed. Greed is the main reason we are at a point in time where time is running out for all living creatures and it will remain the reason we end up at the very least leave the planet and at the worst make the human race extinct, making way for the next species to become the dominant force.
The Government is spending billions saving the banks; these are the same banks that charge you £25 pounds for going £3 over credit. The same banks that the CEO gets paid more then a top 4 premier league team (that’s team not player). And the government is paying billions to help major energy companies build nuclear bombs, sorry power stations in my / your back yard and then claim that it is a clean energy source.
Now am not a scientist and would never claim to know the output / efficiency / clean energy ratio of a nuclear power station, but I also know duck and cover isn’t going to protect you from a nuclear blast.
Where are the billions of pounds being spent on a clean power plant? Am not even going to embarrasses people and ask for a billion pounds to be spent on a solution because there are plenty of solutions out there already, but they are always talked about separately, they are all talked about on a small scale and they are always talked about as if it is something to consider in the future. Why can’t we have a geo-thermal off shore platform power station, built using a wind farm as its legs, connected by a wave farm and the whole structure covered in solar Panels? What would the cost be, how big would it need to be to run a city? Imagine if it cost 1 billion pounds and it provided enough energy to run 1/12 of the country. The government wouldn’t build it, couldn’t build it, the reason is because the energy companies would put to much pressure on the government. The big boy’s with all the money wouldn’t like it because you could provide almost free energy. Suddenly the big boys making more money then I / we could imagine wouldn’t be making money. It’s the same with a car, if you had free energy that a car can run on for nothing, more people in "power" start losing that "power" and they won’t like it. This crap about hybrid cars is all about making Joe public still go to the pumps and spend their money. Why do you think the main people pumping research into electric car’s are the oil people, so they can limit how much is given out to the public, so they can copyright anything and everything.
It is a shame because free energy is out there, are own government has tested geo-thermal power plants (http://www.businesssouthampton.com/content/default.asp?PageId=214&PrevPageId=220 ) but you hear nothing about the success or failures of it.
I think this would be the first step for mankind is to realise money isn’t the be all and end all, the paper and news programmes would have you believe. But am also convinced it would never happen in the UK / Europe or the USA, a political party in a small country that could do stuff under the radar would be the only way to start this revolution. If anyone needs help building this and can provide accommodation and food for me and my family am quite happy to help build it, to see if they will come.

Marketing’s Favourite Weapon!!!
What is it with marketing that they think if they stick “!” at the end of things it’s going to make Jo public want it more?
Does marketing still work, has it ever worked. I know people buy known brands, but are they doing so because of marketing or is it the fact that it has a good product? Nike for example, I’ve bought trainers in the past which aren’t known and while a lot cheaper then a brand like Nike, they have been badly made, when I have bought Nike they have lasted a lot longer and been comfy for a lot longer. Am not buying Nike because one of the people in my favoured sport team is wearing them, no I buy it because I like the way they are made and dependent on the price of them at the time I require some new trainers.
Do you remember the adverts you saw on TV last night or did you nip the loo or make a drink? In fact can you remember one advert off the TV from Sunday or Saturday? If you can well done! But I can’t, they don’t record in my brain anymore. A lot of programmes I watch are recorded on my Teledrive (a virgin Sky+) so they don’t even get on my screen, well they do just at 36times its normal speed and I can safely say I’ve never stopped fast forwarding just to look at one.
And now the web developers are realising anything that looks like a banner or is flashing like a banner people don’t even scan it anymore, the only way around this that I can think of is sound. Sound isn’t used on websites apart from a couple of ad’s that drew me in (normally game ads). But even this will become old very, very fast. Am afraid the world is going to have to sit and take notice, we live in a consumer lead world (and I think we have the internet to thank for that). The marketers will always be around and take the credit for something which would have happened anyway, one way or another. “!!! R.I.P.“
