As a little boy I would sing Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “16 Tons” along with my hard-working father. The song lastingly impressed me at how difficult it can be to get ahead if under an exploitive thumb.

Are you tired of waking up to the same old semiconductor-based solar array? Do you yearn for a change? We know you do and, thanks again to the wonder and mystery of magnetic fields (they’re not just for stopping speech anymore), there’s a new day dawning. University of Michigan scientists were shooting lasers at glass, as they do, and made a remarkable discovery: light passing through a non-conductive surface like glass generates impressive magnetic effects – up to 100 million times greater than expected. The resulting magnetic force could replace the electric effect exploited by current technology, paving the way for “optical batteries.” Though different from the Wysips transparent photovoltaic cell , the technology could have similar applications and may render obsolete those massive solar farms . No need to worry, though — your stylish solar backback is as fly as it ever was.

This one’s been in the works for some time now , but the White House has just today officially unveiled its plans for a national secure internet ID program — or as it has dubbed it, the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). As expected, that will be entirely voluntary and largely driven by various private sector companies, who will be responsible for verifying your ID and providing you with secure credentials that you’ll be able to use across the internet — the credentials themselves could simply be a secure application, or something like smart card or SecurID token. The administration is also quick to point out that the system is not a national ID program of any sort, and it’s going to some length to play up the involvement of multiple credential providers, with Commerce Secretary Gary Lock saying that ” having a single issuer of identities creates unacceptable privacy and civil liberties issues.” Hit up the source link below for all of the finer details, or head on past the break for a quick video explanation.
