There’s a simulated Mars colony happening in Utah. Lucky Martian devils!
Out in the vast wilderness of Utah, there is a Mars colony afoot! I have no idea what Utah actually looks like, but from the pictures it seems like endless rolling red sand and Martian colonies. Okay, so I haven’t looked at the pictures either. Who the fuck cares. What does matter is that there is a legitimately simulated Mars colony, and we aren’t there.

Bitcoin cleared to operate as real bank in France. Future ++
What fresh hell is this? I don’t truly understand how Bitcoin operates, I just know it is some weird futuro currency that knows no boundaries. And it can buy drugs. Lots of drugs. Oh! And you harvest it. Somehow. Now Bitcoin is being cleared to operate as a real bank in France, and I am getting a nose bleed attempting to understand what is going on.

Netflix has closed a hell of a deal. Starting in 2016, they have the streaming rights to Disney, Marvel, and Pixar flicks. Does this count Star Wars? Is the Force going to be streaming?
MUSTACHE TRANSPLANTS are a thing, and becoming more popular. Ridiculous ++
Everybody want the mustaches. Movember may be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow a stache. Or try to grow one. And if you can’t? Get that bad boy grafted onto your upper lip. Don’t make any excuses, bro.
US Supreme Court will rule on whether human genes are patentable. Futurism ++
Welcome to the future, flunkies. The US Supreme court is getting a case in which they’re essentially deciding whether or not human genes are patentable. I think. That’s what my fat head gleaned from this story, but I was also half-covered in peanut butter. Sitting on the toilet. Reading it on my iPhone.
KIM DOTCOM planning to build $330 million internet cable between States and New Zealand. Wut.
Let it not be said that Kim Dotcom is taking it slow these days. Or dreaming small. Everyone’s favorite fat brilliant villain guy is planning to build an expensive-as-fuck internet cable between the United States and New Zealand.
RUSSIA’S internet-filtering law goes into effect today. HELLO future police state!
I know that probably everyone is peeping in on everyone else’s internet dongs when it comes to the government. I get it. At least there is typically the semblance of privacy. Russia ain’t feeling that though, yo! Their internet-filtering law goes into effect today, and it is pretty much geared for impressively rampant surveillance.
THE PIRATE BAY has taken its servers to the cloud. Slough the tangible!
Can’t keep a good Pirate down. Despite having its ass whupped in a variety of manners, the Bay of Pirates torrenting center is refusing to go down without a fight. This is a good thing. You see, the new Taylor Swift jam drops next week, and I’ll be goddamn pressed if I’m going to pay for it. In order to try and thwart The Man, the site has taken itself to the Cloud!
This machine can SEQUENCE A GENOME in two days. Science is good.
Marvel at the Future, friends. Wrap your arms around it, for it is here. This wunder-machine is capable of sequencing the genome of new born babies in a mere two days. Mind-boggling stuff.
New Orleans was planning on using DRONES to police the Super Bowl. Solid Snake nods.
Police state, wee! New Orleans was planning on using security drones to police the Super Bowl this next February. It didn’t come to pass, but it is a delicious look into the quiet erosion of homeland freedom and the implementation of such measures. Shh! Go to sleep.
