The top 15 fastest U.S. states in terms of Broadband Speed
50 states. They all have broadband. Which is the fastest when you pit them together? Apparently, Delaware is. Go figure. At a whopping 9 mbps, Delaware took the top spot with other notables such as New York at 5th place, California at 11th, and Alaska at 50, respectively.
I live in Southern California and I'm in the ballpark of somewhere between 8 mbps and 11mbps, depending on the day. Also, from the article, I love what the LA times wrote about Cali:
California, perhaps the nation's most high-tech-friendly state, ranked only 11th among the 50 states, well behind the national leaders. Still, the state's 6.6 Mbps average put it ahead of where it was two years ago, when it ranked 22nd among states, with barely more than 3 Mbps.
Wallowing in shame they brush off that this time two years ago they were at Alaska speeds, and flaunt their 5 mbps speed.

Energizer gets away with AA's as D's
Quick excerpt from Mike Adams, about his discover on why his "D" batteries were pure suckage:
Why are Energizer "D" batteries so weak? To find out the answer, I decided to take one apart and see what was inside. As this picture reveals, inside the "D" battery is a much smaller battery! The Energizer "D" battery is actually just a cheap plastic shell surrounding a much smaller, low-capacity battery similar in size and capacity to an "AA" battery (2500 mAh).
Looks like Energizer has been looking to pull fasts ones on us! Here's another excerpt on his conspiracy theory as to why Energizer would do such a sneaky thing:
Think about it: The more consumers use rechargeable batteries, the less they repeatedly buy throway alkaline batteries. Energizer only makes money when people keep buying batteries over and over again. Selling a consumer a high-capacity "D" battery that can be used 1,000 times before needing to be replaced simply doesn't make good business sense to the Energizer company. It makes far more money selling inferior "D" rechargeable batteries that don't deliver much power, effectively forcing consumers who want long-lasting "D" batteries to purchase their throwaway alkaline D batteries. Repeat business is good for battery companies, even if it means creating more landfill through the repeated use of disposable batteries.
The man makes a mean argument. You have to read the rest of the article, which can be read here:

A Dream comes True - a Gundam Wedding
After winning a contest, this lucky couple was able to live their fantasy - having not only a Gundam themed wedding, but having a built to scale RX-78-2 model Gundam present at the ceremony. I dare any nerd to top that kinda wedding!
