If Google thinks any of its new Google Glass owners have been flogging them on eBay or loaning them their to friends it has the right to remotely deactivate the tech spectacles, according to the Ts & Cs in the contract this first wave of buyers have agreed to.

The oppressive Google Glass terms state that: “…you may not resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person. If you resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google’s authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the device will be entitled to any refund, product support, or product warranty.”

It’s sad news for anyone who managed to bag one of the $1,500 devices in the hope of flipping them for a quick profit.

‘It’s like a nuclear bomb went off’: Rescue workers search rubble as up to 15 killed, 160 injured by plant explosion in Texas
Rescue workers searched rubble that witnesses compared to a war zone early Thursday for survivors of a fertilizer plant explosion in a small Texas town that killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160 others. The blast left the factory a smoldering ruin and leveled homes and businesses for blocks in every direction.

The explosion in downtown West, about 20 miles north of Waco, shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake and could be heard dozens of miles away. It sent flames shooting into the night sky and rained burning embers, shrapnel and debris down on shocked and frightened residents.

“They are still getting injured folks out and they are evacuating people from their homes,” Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said early Thursday morning. He added later, “At some point this will turn into a recovery operation, but at this point, we are still in search and rescue.” (AP Photo/Andy Bartee; AP Photo/Michael Ainsworth/The Dallas Morning News)

• 2.1 the magnitude of the explosion in West, Texas on the Richter scale. People living more than 30 miles away felt the “quake”—which was rooted in an explosion at a fertilizer plant. About half the town was evacuated—a level much higher than early reports suggested.
• 100 the number of people injured by the blast; 50-75 buildings were destroyed by the freak incident. source

cats that have faces like this with the colors split down the middle means that there were two cats in the mummy cats womb that merged together in the early stages of fertilization.

it’s actually called a chimera and is when 2 eggs fuse and 2 sperm fuse and then fertilise eachother to create an organism with 2 seperate sets of traits but we can make stuff up i guess

Nanosponges could one day suck toxins right out of your veins
Engineers say the microscopic ‘sponges’ could absorb everything from E. coli to rattlesnake venom.

You can use diatomaceous earth otherwise known as fossil shell flour to do basically the same thing and it’s quite cheap to get.  Make sure to get FOOD GRADE.
