Not much of interest happening. You knot the drill by now. As you can see, the theme is space flight. 1\/3 of the links are spaceflight related (2 out of 6). hehehe. Oh shut up.

Yay commercial spaceflight!<\/a><br><em>Continuing on the space theme, Elon Musk of SpaceX (and Paypal and Tesla Motors) is determined to get commercial manned space flight in three years, commercial manned Mars visit within 2 decades. He&#8217;s a pretty extraordinary man, I wouldn&#8217;t necessarily bet against him.

Awesome. One phone to rule them all. This should be interesting, and more expensive. I wonder if that means we may finally be freed from the tyranny of carriers.

I wonder what else the spirits told him about the future when he was looking in his tea leaves.

The iPad will continue to be a beast. I don&#8217;t predict this because my magic spirits tell me their sales figures of the future. i predict this because logically, the others have to sell a beastly amount and they have to stagnate for their considerable market share to be reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anywhoo.
