There’s always something happening that frosts my cupcakes—and when EYE get enough cupcakes sitting on my mental counter-top it’s time to serve them to you in :
IT GIVES ME FEVER….
After several weeks of Swine Flu coverage—we may be on the verge of learning the real truth about the way this strange genetic makeup of the H1N1 virus came about.
As you might recall scientists said it contained a here-to-for unseen combination Swine, Bird and Human flu…
A couple of weeks back, we speculated in this post the virus might have been artificially created.
Now as you can read here the researcher who helped create the anti-viral medicine TAMIFLU believes the H1N1 virus was a HUMAN creation that accidentally escaped a research lab.
Adrian Gibbs bases his conclusion on H1N1’s genetic blueprint, and says so in a report.
The World health Organization is investigating his claims while some are trying to pooh-pooh Gibb’s allegation.
But with four decades of studying the evolution of germs, my money’s on Gibbs.
GENERATING A CONTROVERSY…
First they told us we were running out of oil—but not to worry because we had plenty of coal that we could use to generate power..
Now, these two studies by researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Washington claim we’ve overestimated the amount of coal we have available—and that we’ll hit peak production of it by 2025..
So, that pretty much gives us about 15 years to come up with workable, available alternative energy sources.
Can we beat the clock—or will we wait till 2024 before we do something?
IF x2=y>4 YOU MUST BE A THIEF….
The latest piece of Big Brother technology comes in the form of mathematical algorithms that check out surveillance video to figure out if you’re a shoplifter.
The BIG Y supermarket chain in Massachusetts has installed a system in its 57 stores that takes video camera feeds and runs them through a mathematical formula
As you can read here, the algorithms then decide if the store’s cashiers are engaging in an activity known as “sweethearting” where-by cashiers don’t ring up items as they work the check-out line.
If the system detects a problem, it alerts store security and then shows them the suspected video clip.
Stoplift, the company that invented the system claims on its website that it’s an accurate detector of employee theft.
But, knowing that math errors do occur in computer code, EYE would be a little worried about getting accused by a line of code that might corrupted.
