Making Up Lost Time Along My Travels Through the Internet

Sorry that Monday was so mundane; the world did not wake up yet. 

• Forbe's list of billionaires wipes off 332 names, leaving only 793. [BBC] They report an average of losing 23% of their wealth (holy. cow.)
• New website: Where did you get your hair done? Looking for new styles of hair? [MopShots] Perfect!
• RESEARCH MONEY PUT TO GOOD USE: New method of manufacture for lithium-ion batteries allows for a recharge in seconds [BBC]
• Google promises more interesting ads [Google Blog]
• Anti-cancer genes packaged on nanoparticles [Reuters]
• Mapping out intelligence in the brain [Caltech]

• Ten coworkers are going to split the $216 million dollar jackpot from New Jersey [CNN] I've never been much of a gambler (or a winner).....but this makes me wanna go out and try my luck. :(

• RESEARCH MONEY PUT TO GOOD USE: The Aptera 2e [Bloomberg] Electric (100 miles per charge) and three wheels? Two seater? Looks like a giant bug (like all cars, to be honest). Cool!
• Mortgage bailout to help every 1 out of every 9 US homeowners [WSJ] Hm...considering that 1 out of every 5 is "underwater" then this means that --> 5 out of 9 of those "underwater" are getting help. I hope. My fractions are unflawed but the assumptions could be. 
• YouTube hub for Official Music Videos? [WSJ] I hope this comes up!! Knowing the US, it will be only available there for a while. Poo.
• Google Health enables you a secure place to put your health information as well as share it with people you trust. [Google Health] I just signed up today!

I had a great day yesterday, and I walked home singing this song:
