Sports Car Performance Without the Gas
"Independent Silicon Valley-based automaker Tesla has unveiled the Tesla Roadster a€" an all-electric car capable of accelerating to 60 mph in just four seconds, while offering equivalent mileage of 135 mpg, and a 250 mile range. The high-performance roadster is capable of hanging with a Ferrari F430, Porsche Carrera S, or BMW M5. The car has a more-than-sufficient top speed of 130 mph, the automaker said. Funding came from several big names in the technology world, including Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The car is expected to cost between $85,000 and $120,000. Deliveries of the Tesla Roadster in the United States are expected to begin next summer. "
This would certainly help for stealth missions, considering electric cars lack the bigAAmotor sound of combustible engine cars.

OG Barcodes Accused of Rape
Japanese company Design Barcode has taken a militant stance on the aesthetic value of our old school barcodes.
They say:
"Unsightly barcodes have been raping the beauty of package design long enough. That’s why we came up with a way to give barcodes a fun and beautiful makeover, while keeping its functional utility intact. We christened this new type of barcode the "Design Barcode" and pitched it to various manufacturers throughout Japan. As a result, many companies adopted it into their package design, and we helped to turn barcodes into a new channel for companies to communicate to their consumers."

My Ninja, Please! 7/20/06: Government Monitoring Student Protests
…thank God for disguise.
SAN FRANCISCO - A federal Homeland Security agent reported information about student protests in Berkeley and Santa Cruz on a Pentagon terrorism database, according to documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Information on the protests showed up in the database of a Pentagon program called Threat and Local Observation Notice, or TALON, which the government started in 2003 as a way to collect data that could help stop terrorist attacks. Officials have acknowledged that the reports on protests, which took place in April 2005 against military recruiters on campus, should not have been included and have since removed them.
