Five People Pushing Tech's Boundaries
from the optimism-rules dept
It's nice to see some optimistic articles starting to show up these days. Business Week today came out with a nice collection of articles talking about five people pushing the boundaries of technology. Again, they're focused on areas that we often talk about here on Techdirt, including OLEDs and WiFi. Congratulations, also, to Jeff Pulver (an occassional Techdirt reader himself) for making the list for all the work he's done in the VoIP world. Jeff, of course, runs the VON conference where I'll be speaking in just a few hours.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

What greenhouse effect?
Actually, in order to keep the earth from freezing into another ice age, we do need to produce a good bit of carbon dioxide. Volacanoes emit hydrogen sulfide that cool the atmosphere. Maybe future "Kyoto protocols" will involve nations volunteering to increase their CO2 emissions.
