Ok, a new research promises to make golf balls with the right dimple design so that they fly farther and make your drive more powerful. They use aerodynamics to lower the drag golf balls encounter as they fly through the air. Too bad this ball research can never be applied in other sports and the tools they use. You see in some three-letter sports drag is good as it creates more grip and friction and the more friction the more pleasure for the athletes and players involved :)

InVending Donations
A vending machine that uses the traffic light system to label various food options. The machine still sells junk food like chips and soda, but it adds a 5-cent surcharge for each one, which is then donated. The University of Virginia is already using one and managed to collect $7,000 which was donated to a children's fitness clinic. Not bad idea for collecting money!

This line was used by Steve Jobs in his speech to graduates of Stanford University in 2005. If we take his advice literally, then Africa has the most potential to create millionaires and successful businessmen in the years to come.
The Africans stay "hungry" because they're "foolish" enough to think this way they'll make it rich one day. Unlike the Chinese or the Indians who do not seem to follow that logic anymore because they're smart enough to want to feed their people. What about all the millions of homeless people in the US? Any chance they might be following Job's advice? Mac hunger training perhaps?
I think it is all about getting priorities right. Food for thought or thought for food? What would you rather have more of? How can we best fight hunger and poverty around the world?
