Malicious hacker can bomb you

This news is really ridiculous.., my major is computer science. I don't think they can change the electrical current and molecular structure of the CPU to blast apart the computer just like a large hand grenade. I can't imagine...

Plastic decomposition

Plastic related stuff is very important at this age, but it also results many environmental problems. Landfill will occupy the space, polluted the ocean, etc. It usually takes more than 1,000 years to decompose. Recently, a Canada teenager figured this issue out, he tried to find out the microorganisms that can crumble the plastic. Yes, he did by some household chemicals and experimentation. The result is the decomposition time is degraded dramatically to only 3 months. It's really a huge contribution to the environment.

Biggest drawing in the world

It's a whole new idea, use the world as paper, and a bag with GPS device inside as a pen. The author sent his bag around the world through many cites by DHL. I guess the cost for this self portrait on the world must be expensive.

Introduction to this project.


The author sketch on the world.
