Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Fireworks that are really fake (or fakely real)…

Monday, August 11th, 2008

This story raises those kind of technology vs. morality questions that we see quite often these days, as our ability to do things gets ahead of our laws deciding what we should or shouldn’t do.
