Interesting news written recently which has yet to receive any comments is on the iPhone ad called horrorscope. As its name implies it predicts the future. As it was a Halloween application no one took it very seriously. For example one of the predictions of Scorpios on October 26, was that if the reader had survived an attack that day he would have contracted rabies which needs twenty injections to cure. This horrorscope predicts only horrific stuff and the suggestion was that it should be destroyed immediately after Halloween. Since it was free no one cared nor bothered about these unpleasant predictions.

Nike Hindsight is a spec by Billy May which gives unparalleled vision to cyclists. These Fresnel lenses are like the big sticker found on the rear window of a school bus. It can show vehicles which are at the edge of the cyclist’s vision and gives extra vision to the driver. If this concept works, and it is quite cheap and useful, then the urban cyclist will definitely benefit. A tongue-in-cheek comment by the writer states that the specs need a laser which can knock out cell phones out of the hands of inattentive drivers.
The European Union has apparently imposed a new rule which states that wineries cannot use the word ‘Port’ on their wine labels unless the wine was made in Portugal. To circumvent this rule winemakers, especially the Peltier Station Winery, have found out a loophole. They have been branding their dessert wines as ‘USB’ in lieu of the word port. They even boldly stated the $25 wine as USB Port.
