Finland understands the potential of information and the access to it. Therefore, one of our favorite countries stepped up to introduce a law that would make it mandatory for every citizen to have a physical connection to the internet of at least 1 Mbps speed.

That doesn’t mean that the people will not pay for it, it just means that every person has the right to have a connection whenever they want to. Now, that’s what we call progress!
Alan Turing is considered the father of computer science. In fact, some will go as far as claiming that he invented the modern-day computer.

A PC is always welcome. They should do PC beds, PC fridges and PC lanterns. The sofa is also sleek and smooth.
From TechEBlog:
“Priced at $15,436, the Athena could quite possible be the first and only sofa with an integrated PC. While technical specifications haven’t been released, “we’re guessing that those integrated screens that fit so snugly into the armrests feature touch sensitivity.” Click here for one more picture.”
I don’t get why her music is an apple, if she is allergic.
Love, Save The Empty is Erin McCarley’s debut album and it is a mixture of pompous folk and moody rock. It is like a cross between Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall and Chantal Kreviazuk. My current favorites are “Blue Suitcase” and “Sticky Sweet.” I watched he perform live on David Letterman and she was great. I am looking forward to listening more.
