27ft-Long Paper Boat
06/15/11 -- Pretty Cool
“This is one ship that didn’t make much of a splash – because it was made out of Tetra Pak food packaging and sank on its maiden voyage. Its captain and designer was conceptual artist Frank Bolter, who bravely set sail in the vessel today along the Kark-Heine canal in Leipzig, Germany. The ship sank after just a few hours – and 41-year-old Bolter went down with it, as all brave captains should.” w/ photos

iTunes Costs $1.3B To Operate?
06/15/11 -- Unbelievable
“Apparently, it costs a ton of money to operate iTunes. We know that there are 15 billion songs downloaded on iTunes, 130 million books downloaded, and 14 billion apps downloaded along with $2.5 bill paid out to developers. Along with that data, market intelligence firm Asymco took some other figures, worked the numbers, and came up with what it thinks iTunes costs to operate. The number is a whopping $1.3 billion each year. That works out to about $113 million monthly! That is a lot of money no matter how you slice it.” w/ photos

Top 10 Secret US Military Intelligence Projects
06/15/11 -- Top Lists
“I just finished reading a new book on the history of Area 51 – the super secret American military base located in Nevada. The book is titled “Area 51 – An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base” by Annie Jacobsen. Ms. Jacobsen manages to uncover never before released facts about the little understood secret goings on at Area 51. There are enough secret projects talked about in the book to do five or six lists. It’s amazing what scientists, engineers, the military and intelligence agencies will do when they have unlimited budgets, little to no accountability and everything they do is kept top secret. And remember, these are the projects we know of (or think we know of).” w/ photos
