Friday, November 30th, 2007

Another Friday  is here and not a minute too soon if you ask me. This week flew by real quick and that means that the weekend is almost here. But before that be sure to enjoy In The News, the best place for news.

  1. Did you read about lighting in Venus? It seem that earth’s sister planet has frequent lighting. For nearly three decades, astronomers have said Venus probably had lightning ever since a 1978 NASA probe showed signs of electrical activity in its atmosphere. But experts weren’t sure because of signal interference.
  2. Did you read about the price of beer going up? It seems that Anheuser Busch will raise prices in order to counter the rise in the cost of ingredients. Bad news for my friends that is for sure.
  3. Did you read about Santa’s naughty list? According to a poll of American children Britney Spears and Paris Hilton should top Santa’s naughty list among children aged 2-12. The online survey of 1,107 children was conducted by E-Poll Market Research. I happen to agree with the kiddies on this one.

Today is Friday and I don’t have to go to work thanks to the thanksgiving day holiday. That doesn’t mean that the news business stops so we bring you In The News because you need to be informed.

  1. Did you read about the rogue cell phone? It seems that a rogue cell phone keeps dialing 911, operators received about 400 calls last week and no one seems to be on the other line. Officials can’t locate the phone but have figured out that it is an old line not currently associated with a cell phone provider. Such phones, once charged up, can still place 911 calls under Federal Communications Commission rules set in 1994.
  2. Did you read about the EMIEW 2 robot? It seems that Hitachi unveiled a new light weight robot on Wednesday. Standing at 31.5 inches tall and weighing in at 29 pounds it can either walk on two legs or roll on two or four wheels while conversing. In a demonstration near Tokyo, Hitachi showed how the robot, clad in a red jacket and cap, could be used to bring drinks or paperwork or guide guests at an office.
