Yes people, THIS is the cure. #9gag

$74 million: That’s the amount India spent on its Mars program. Modi described it best when he said the Sandra Bullock-starrer Gravity cost more to make than India’s Mars mission. NASA’s Maven mission, admittedly more complex, cost $671 million in comparison. European Space Agency’s 2003 Mars Express Orbiter mission cost $386 million. Japan’s failed mars mission cost $189 million.

Rs 7 per kilometre: That is how much the journey to mars cost India. That is cheaper than an auto ride in Delhi, which will cost you, if you are lucky, Rs8 per km.

From Saptarishi Dutta, there is more here.

Terrence McCoy reports:

Schultz wants $150,000 for Ebola.com — a price he thinks is more than reasonable. “According to our site meter, we’re already doing 5,000 page views per day just by people typing in Ebola.com to see what’s there,” said Schultz, who monitors headlines the way brokers watch their portfolios, to gauge his domain’s worth. “We’re getting inquiries every day about the sale of it. I have a lot of experience in this sort of domain business, and my sense is that $150,000 is reasonable.”

The full story is here, and for the pointer I thank Michael Rosenwald.

...from an anonymous blog entry...
I am a regular renter from Hertz (President's Circle)... I got into a rental car at O'Hare airport. 

I immediately noticed the new NeverLost and I was completely shocked to see a camera built into the device looking at me. The system can't be turned off from what could tell...

I know rental car companies have been tracking the speed and movements of their vehicles for years but putting a camera inside the cabin of the vehicle is taking their need for information a little TOO FAR. I find this to be completely UNACCEPTABLE. In fact, if I get another car from Hertz with a camera in it, I will move our business from Hertz completely. 

I influence car rentals of many others and I don't think anyone would want to be on camera while they are driving around or sitting at a red light. 

Given what Hertz has invested in this system, I wonder how much consumer pressure will make them to pull the plug on this. Business is built one customer at a time and they will no longer have me as a customer. What are your thoughts? (more)

Further investigations revealed...
...the Hertz NeverLost 6 platform will include an ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with quad cores running at 1GHz, a high-res TFT display, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and a GPS module that engineers built around SiRFstarIV architecture. Also included are a keypad, camera module, accelerometers and a Gyros sensor board...

As emissoras estudam chamar antigos participantes dos debates para retornarem aos debates do segundo turno. A estratégia é repetir a fórmula do BBB que em algumas edições resgatou participantes de edições anteriores para melhorar a audiência dos debates.

A repescagem vai trazer Luciana Genro descobrindo que é irmã de Davi Luiz; Eduardo Jorge e seu bordão “Não tenho nada a ver com isso” e Levy Fidelix e seu órgão excretor, que fica na boca.

Outra possibilidade é promover uma luta entre Luciana Genro e Anderson Silva. O lutador ainda não topou porque tem medo de apanhar.

Michael Tsai has a nice roundup of additional commentary on Mac developers’ increasing frustrations with the Mac App Store. The one that gets me, and which seems under-remarked-upon, is how Apple’s own apps in the App Store are exempt from sandbox restrictions. Third-party apps are never on equal footing with Apple’s, but with sandboxing, it’s almost absurd.

More job satisfaction.

It’s always the one you least expect. #9gag
