SONY CREATES LIGHTER THAN AIR NOTEBOOK Tokyo, Japan – One standard that has carried through all electronics and mechanics has been miniaturization. Across every field and over centuries of invention the size of components, and in relation the size of machines has steadily declined, resulting in ever more capable and aesthetically appealing devices. In recent years, the trend toward miniaturization has moved away from necessity to marketing with components starting to reach a finite size. One area that has been most evident has been in the personal laptop market which has taken the shrinking in size, and most importantly in weight, to an entirely new level.

MAN DIES AFTER TRYING TO DIGG EVERY SINGLE STORY Butte, MT – There are many stories of small companies starting in garages and eventually becoming hugely successful.

With hundreds of millions of users now dependent on the web and the internet as a whole, Berners-Lee’s invention has radically changed the world, and that may in fact be its undoing.
