“The guys says people in 2030 will live to 130!”
None of them from the USA.
Can I just take this time, to say how much I dislike the “new” look of the blog.
Microsoft opening a data center in Siberia is pretty smart if you consider that M$ won’t have to spend much on air conditioning to keep the servers cool!
130 years old in 2030?…If you listen to the biotechnology pioneers/experts being interviewed in Futures in Biotech podcast, oops NETcast (Twit.tv), then it just may be that what “The Guys Says” may well be right. Having said that # 1 may well be correct as well. Big meals, BIG people, Big hospital bills. Early to the grave.
#2. Likewise. I know you guys have made some changes since the revamp. But, first things first!: Comments at the bottom and take me back to where I was after the Kind-a-Captcha.
What on earth is that boiling cauldron sound in the background?
So, “routinely live to 130 in 2030! is this a prediction that people born that year will live that long or… does it mean people will be dying at age 130 in 2030? If so then these people are already 107.
What a crock.
How the Hell did you get Sony as a sponsor with your recent criticisms of their business decisions?
Upset about Siberia? Any place that has 150# trout can’t be all bad.
John, i almost wet myself laughing at your response to the predictions.
