the most important image ever taken

hubble deep field

this is a tiny part of the night sky, the same size as a 2 cent coin viewed from 25 meters away. the hubble telescope found more than 1500 galaxies in that region, each of which has millions of stars, each of which could have planets. and this particular region is nothing special.

watch the great video on youtube

Wind- und Sonnenergie Exportschlager für deutsche Firmen

via yahoo:

“Deutsche Unternehmen profitieren massiv vom weltweiten Trend zu Wind- und Sonnenergie. Im vorigen Jahr wurden Anlagen im Wert von sechs Milliarden Euro exportiert, berichtet die “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”. 2005 waren es 4,6 Milliarden Euro. “Mit der Steigerung um 30 Prozent haben wir unsere hochgesteckte Prognose für 2006 erreicht”, zitiert das Blatt den Verband Erneuerbare Energie. Der weitaus größte Teil des Exportvolumens entfiel nach dessen Angaben auf die Windindustrie. Selbst wo die US-Marke General Electric draufstehe, sei die Technik größtenteils aus Deutschland.”

web intended as a social creation

1069646562.lgl.2d.420x420

»The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner.«

—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving The Web
