The Largest Underground Nuclear Blast Ever
The largest underground blast ever and largest US blast outside the South Pacific Operation Cannikin Alaska 1971 The Primary reason was to test the new warhead for the Spartan missle. Because of the vaporised underground rock, a crater formed within 2 days that was 55 feet deep and 1and a half miles wide.
I wonder if the DPRK has seen this? The US still rocks!
Google, the Internet’s leading search engine, announced Monday that it is buying popular online video site YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock.
YouTube, which was founded in February 2005, has quickly become the most well-known of several online video sites. More than 100 million videos, many of which are short videos created by the site’s users, are downloaded a day on the site.
Why oh why is it never me that comes up with these ideas? I mean, I could use a billion dollars as much as the next guy. And how hard is it to put up a web site that users post videos to? huh? Oh well, maybe the next great idea will be mine. 
North Korea came under harsh international criticism after claiming to have carried out a successful underground nuclear weapons test on Monday.China, a close ally of North Korea, denounced the claimed test as “brazen” and South Korea said it would respond “sternly.” The United States said a test would constitute a “provocative act.”

About time…. I am so tired of hearing about how great the Yankees are. I’m glad to see that all that money they spend on supposedly great players was wasted this year. Hopefully this trend will continue.
They are calling it “Wibree” and it works at distances up to 30 feet. No technical details are provided, but others working on the venture include Broadcom Corp., CSR Plc, Epson and Nordic Semiconductor.
Found more data. There is actually a Wibree web site at http://www.wibree.com.
From the website: “Wibree radio specification enables dual-mode implementations to reuse Bluetooth RF parts but also to guarantees ultra low power consumption for devices with an embedded stand-alone implementation of the Wibree specification. Wibree operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band with a physical layer bit rate of 1 Mbps and provides a link distance of 5-10 meters. The Wibree link layer provides an ultra low power idle mode operation, a simple device discovery, and a reliable point-to-multipoint data transfer with advanced power-saving and encryption functionalities. The link layer provides a means to schedule Wibree traffic in between Bluetooth transmissions.”
