I like this headline because if we sent it back in time 30 years it wouldn't make any sense at all.

  "Using coffee as robot fuel will lead to certain doom! If only I could make them understand -- all 10^100 of them!", said the prophet.

  Looking over the front page, I wonder what the people thirty years ago would have made of some of the other headlines: "Making GitHub More Open: Git-backed Wikis" "Twitter Polling in the Cloud in 30s using PiCloud" or, my favorite: "Burning man defeats PayPal" (I envision something like the Biblical story of Jesus driving money-changers out of a temple, but this time, Jesus lights himself on fire first. It's very intimidating.)

    "Making GitHub More Open: Git-backed Wikis" wouldn't have made sense even 15 years ago. "Twitter Polling in the Cloud in 30s using PiCloud" wouldn't have made sense only 5 years ago.

  Oh, that made my day. I'm still going to laugh every time I think about this days from now.
