Neuticles - now I've seen everything. I can't believe there is a market for this: "Patented Neuticles are testicular implants for pets that are neutered. Neuticles are available for canines, felines, equine and bulls. Neuticles should be implanted when the pet is neutered- but can be implanted afterwards in most cases." Any questions you could think of can be answered by the faq. (For $30 - 127$ a pair, I'll bet they won't be limited to just animals for long and that is a distrubing thought.) 5:54:16 PM    comment []  trackback []

25 till we have another boom? Wired has a nice interview with Marc Andreessen who co-created the Mosaic web browser - precursor to just about every current browser out there from IE to Mozilla. What struck me was his predictions on where and when technology will be going.  Marc says: "Any new technology tends to go through a 25-year adoption cycle. I look at what happened from 1975 to 1985, the first 10 years of the PC adoption cycle. There was huge over-investment in the early 1980s. In the late '80s there was a huge crash, and the real build-out was from 1990 to 2000. With the Internet, we're really 10 years into what will ultimately look like a 25-year cycle from invention to full implementation." Whew, that puts us at 2025.  What will happen between now and then? [via Wired News] 3:43:04 PM    comment []  trackback []
