What Hurts More?

Guns and Chlamydia Both Hurt, But What’s More Effective?

The easy way to an electorate's heart goes through the military. In his most recent State of the Union speech, President Obama bookended his remarks by claiming credibility for ending the mission in Iraq and remembering the Navy Seals raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan last year. Sure, it was election-year pandering to those more hawkish on foreign policy, but in reality those victories underscore the difficult transition of changing our military-industrial complex from one who seeks out war so as to profit, to one truly streamlined and capable of tracking down the most imaginative and elusive international traffickers of terror.

Denver doesn’t need the Winter Olympics

Cost of Games overshadows any benefits

Denver has the somewhat dubious distinction of being the only city to reject the Olympic Games after being awarded the selection. In a decision that moved the 1976 Winter Games back to Innsbruck, Austria, Colorado voters did not approve public financing for grooming Denver into an Olympic host city. 

Kodak No Longer King

An Iconic Company on the Verge of Oblivion

Capturing life in the flash of an instant is today's reality. Photographs have evolved from point-and-shoot cameras complete with 35mm film, to digital cameras and memory cards. But one company that has not managed to evolve with the times is Kodak.

This place is haunted

Creepy kids and creepy dolls

And some chick in black

Hollywood's predictable.

The Artist should win.

Innovative Technologies Exploring New Ground in Space

Looking Through the Looking Glass

For as long as humans have been stargazing, we have wondered where we are in this vast solar system and if those bright little dots harbor beings anything like us. It wasn't until the late 1940s that telescope technology reached the point we could really try to find life on other planets. With new telescope and radio technologies advancing every day, and discoveries of new planets recently, contact with other life forms could still be around the corner.

Atari Breathes New Life

Out of the Console Shell and into the Digital World

When someone thinks of Atari they think of video games developed in a cave right after the first wheel was chipped away. But what's good is good; like the wheel, we'll still be using it for a very long time, and since spring of 2011 Atari has ensured we'll be playing games like "Centipede," "Haunted House," and "Missile Command" on smartphones for years to come. With the recent success of rereleasing these games as apps, Atari is hoping to release 10–15 completely new games for 2012.
