What’s happening - week ending 06/06/2008
June 7th, 2008 by 
lukas - Aggie finally managed to post the first set of our Cuba photos. *Sigh* why are holidays always over so quickly?
- The singularity is near! Or so claims Ray Kurzweil in this article from the New York Times. I’d love this to be true but I have a feeling that we were born one generation too early.. maybe our children will have the opportunity to become one with the machine…Oh and on that note - how is this for BIONIC!
- The Paranoid Americans are making it more difficult to travel - not just for New Zealanders but visitors from any country will require pre-registration when wanting to visit the USA from next year onwards. Check out the news item from the NZ Herald. We’ll most probably be off the American continent by then but it sucks anyway.
- Google Finance now started providing real time prices on some of their stock quotes! I track my stocks using Google Finance but only 40% of the ones I track are real-time - the rest still have a 20 minutes delay but it’s a great start nevertheless. Hopefully they can soon offer discount brokerage services
- Only 3 more weeks of work left!!!
