In Texas there was a 21 yr old boy that was killed outside of a bar. He died on Sunday. His mother donated his organs and then fought for the rights of her son's sperm. She would like to find a surrogate mom to give birth to her grandchildren. A judge did yesterday allow the harvesting of the son's sperm. I saw a interview with the mom on the Today Show. There not sure if the sperm is actually viable since they were harvested a few days after his passing but for now they are frozen and waiting. You can read more about it here:

Sure enough, shortly after the robot will move the corresponding body part! Honda claims a 90% success rate so far.

In June European Parliament will be holding elections and this time they will have a modern day pirate running. Last year a law was passed that Sweden can wiretap any internet activity that crosses their boarders, that did not sit well with alot of folks. So why not put a modern day pirate in office? Its not like he is some drunken smelly pirate with a hook for a arm but modern day pirates look ve

Firefox is trying to get a patch ready to be released within the next week. Apparently there is a vulnerability in the current version that could allow XML files to install unauthorized software.
