Astronomers Select Top Ten Most Amazing Pictures Taken by Hubble Space Telescope in Last 16 Years

“…they illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful.” Michael Hanlon/AH (Nov 25th, 2006)
After correcting an initial problem with the lens, when the Hubble Space Telescope was first launched in 1990, the floating astro-observatory began to relay back to Earth, incredible snapshots of the “final frontier” it was perusing.
Recently, astronauts voted on the top photographs taken by Hubble, in its 16-year journey so far. Remarking in the article from the Daily Mail, reporter Michael Hanlon says the photos “illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful.”

The porn business

    I have read a lot about the porn industry, mainly online and I recently started some marketing ideas on it. I had no idea how much money can be made with it, I’ve done some quick research, and found out if moved 12 billion dollars in 2006, I wonder how much it is now. Those 12 billion were only for legal porn, I won’t enter the illegal adult business as no one has any idea of how much it moves.

People love porn, people see porn everywhere, people sell porn everywhere,and well, it’s a matter of research to learn how you can benefit from it. Believe me, even offline, porn isn’t just for fun, it’s a really huge business that grows more and more.

The Internet 10 Years Ago.

The Internet 10 Years Ago.

The internet’s been changing so fast, from 56kbps fax-modems, the whole world has ultra high internet speed trough optic cables. Ten years ago, the internet looked so much different, designs were so simple, images were even more simple, let’s take a look.

Yahoo was already a big website (considering the size of the internet at that time), but very simple:

Yahoo in 1998

Google was just a baby and well, it’s look is not the best thing I’ve seen, but well, for 1998, let’s say it’s alright:

Google in 1998

I’ll searching for the oldest sites on the internet with screens available, and make a part II of this post :)

Gas Prices in America and in Asia

 Gas Prices in America and in Asia

The gas price has been increasing insanely during the past years, while in the US people are paying around $4 dollars/gallon, on the other side of the country, in China, people are paying around $1.5 dollars/gallon.

Huge gas price

If gas is coming from the same sources, as neither the US or China are independent on oil producing, why is the price so different?

The answer is simple, the Chinese government controls the economy, on a pseudo socialist society, even though there’s a lot of international money in there, while neo-liberalism is widely practiced in America, private companies control the market, of course, the state does have control of the economy, but they’d better not try to fix it.

Last week, the US government tried to fix the horrible real estate situation of the country, the result was even worst, investments on the country felt by 10%, why? Investors said the government should not interfere on the economy, plain and simple.
