Common sense tells us that climate changes, namely global warming, will cause glaciers to melt, rising the sea level. Another nefarious effect about which we were not so much aware of is brought by a new study, which reveals that global warming will also put more people in risk of absolute water scarcity. Read more to understand why.
Ever wonder how much game consoles would cost you today if you adjusted their prices for inflation? Well, here is a handy chart showing you all of the details. I can’t believe how many of these I have owned. I have spent way too much on video games, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. At least I didn’t spend the money in today’s dollars.
Damn. That NeoGeo would be $1,125(USD) and the Panasonic 3DO $1,095. Surprisingly, the Intellivision is nearly as expensive, at $935, while the Atari 2600 is a pricey $796. The Nintendo systems are still pretty decently priced though. In fact the Gamecube is the cheapest one on this list.
I would be interested in seeing some of the classics that aren’t here though. What about the Atari 5200? That would probably be pretty expensive. In any event, this reminds me to dig some of my old consoles out and play them. Good times.

If you have an aging computer, the best way to bring new life (speed, that is) to replace its internal hard drive.
Older computers generally run on a regular hard drive, whose performance degrades over time, just like any mechanical parts. Replacing that with a solid-state drive (SSD) will prove to be the most satisfying update you ever make to your system. In fact, the outcome is often better than getting an entirely new budget computer.
While it may seem intimidating to open a computer’s chassis, this process is quite easy. Check out this How-To post if you need more instruction on opening a laptop, and it’s even easier on a desktop. The hardest part is actually picking the right replacement drive.
To make that easier, following is a list of the top five best internal drives I’ve reviewed this year, sorted by review order. Any of them would make an excellent candidate and if you still have a hard time finding the right one, take a look at the top drives of 2012, most of them are still available for purchase and should do the trick.

It’s not supposed to be that hard to figure out if something is liquid or if something is solid. If it flows like water, it’s liquid. If it stays relatively still, it’s solid. But what if it’s a substance that breaks the laws of normal behavior and is both liquid and solid? Like non-Newtonian fluids?
