Eventually technology is going to come up with things that we have not thought of before. Right now, I am burning a fire in a wood burning stove. Who would have thought 1300 years ago?

I read about how ships used to come over to the Americas back in the 1500s and 1600s. Imagine that? We used to be the "New World".

Dogs are domesticated now. Remember when they used to be wolves? My dog still has sharp teeth but does not bite me. Yet wolves would have eaten me.

I am waiting for the second generation of iPad to come out so that I can buy one.

Technology marches on.

Now that was totally unexpected. I hope this isn’t another Apple file-and-forget patent.

Thanks Swordmaker.
Apple has been granted its first patent related to Liquidmetal, a space-age metal alloy. But the patent isn't for a new iPad enclosure or iPhone antenna, as experts have predicted. Instead Apple's Liquidmetal patent is for an internal component of a fuel cell.
