100 Years Later, the Tunguska Mystery Revealed?

If you are a fan of meteors, meteorites, and comets like me, you will love this story about attempts to unravel the Tunguska event, the largest impact of a cosmic body to occur on Earth during modern human history. (Or was it an antimatter airburst, or an exploding UFO, or a wayward black hole? :-D)

Scientist Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonatti and Giuseppe Longo, share their discoveries during a two week, mosquito-filled expedition to the region, where they focused on a detailed geological survey of a lake that sits close to the Tunguska event's ground zero. Is Lake Cheko the elusive impact crater? Click on over to find out!

Thanks to our pal Steve Wozniak for sending us this great link!

Forum Tidbits for Canada Day!

Canadians erupt in anger over Rogers iPhone rates!

Rogers, the cell phone company that is bringing the new iPhone 3G to Canada, just posted its service plans and how much it'll cost you to own one. Well, it didn't take long for a maple leaf maelstrom to erupt!

Canadians from around the country are protesting the rates, from the CBC website, to our own Forums, to the forums on ehMac, to an online petition gingerly called fuckyourogers.com.

Plans are start at $60 a month and go to $115. There is no unlimited data option, something that seems to be a world exclusive. And yes, all of Rogers's plans are for a minimum of three years. Ouch.

We Canucks will be watching very carefully to see how Rogers reacts to these protests. I myself was drooling at the thought of finally getting an iPhone... now that seems out of reach. It can't be a very good day over at Rogers marketing.

Update: the petition can now be found over at the family friendly ruinediphone.com.

Update 2: Philip Elmer-DeWitt has a great summary of the issue and coverage over on Apple 2.0
