I have been saying the very same thing and also used the term Manhatten Project with reference to the level of effort required. Can you drop me a line using our company contact form at owonder.com/contact. We can start a dialog and try to bring about change before it is too late. Alex

If the owners of a business don't posess enough common sense and concept of decency to protect their users, then they don't deserve and should not be permitted to run the business - no matter their corporate might! As posted on our news page, all that is required is that web portals finally start putting the well being of their users ahead of their shareholders because the silent majority of people will soon tire of being fodder for generally worthless 'advertising' that often relies upon breaches of our most sacred asset. And another point, with all the amazing technology and intellectual capital out there, isn't it about time that the industry begins to devise alternative methods with which to monotise their services? Thinking never hurt anyone. /Rant over. Let the common sense begin!

This is not a unique idea, we at O'WONDER have been offering people in the UK 33% of our £295 lifetime membership fee to rep our directory at gonumber.com. Note, we are a directory, not a search engine, so our results are more succinct. We're initially just covering a few areas of London, but working to expand once we improve the service later in the year. Want to rep for us? Drop us a line to owonder.com/contact. Our price is high as membership is for life and we don't resell our data.

...because unlike movies like T2 and earlier films that predicted a society where cold tecnology and a common sense free society exist hand in hand to create hell on earth for freedom loving people - there will be no super hero to come save the day. What Tony Blair is doing in the UK is genuinely terrifying. He wants a national DNA database, rather than putting more real police on the streets. He is so lacking in vision it is very worrying. We have cameras everywhere, dumbed down TV and no really ethical direction. I can tell my American friends that if your country follows mine, we are in for a terrible, cold and ultra constrained future where people will take this all for granted - like the clues souls in Logan's Run. All reading this please remember the words 'Lemon Zest'. I'll be posting a detailed article on the huge threats to our liberty and sense of privacy in due course. want to be notified when it's online? Touch base using the form at http://www.owonder.com/contact I'm one of the few entrepreneurs who is not afraid to challenge the status quo for fear of upsetting those with more nefarious motives such as control of the populace by technology that is primarily installed for profit of the authorities and manufacturer rather than law and order.

...the evil selfish "let's squeeze every drop from the Earth" oil industry doesn't buy up and discredit any commercial offshoots of this DARPA project and sweep it under the carpet. This kind of behavior is common, but the public rarely hear about it. The solution is for the world's populace to revolt by trying ever so hard not to purchase gasoline. Instead, whenever possible we should walk, bicycle or rollerblade to our place of work or relaxation until solar panels produce enough of our electricity to make a real practical difference. owonder.com/eco

AmigaMagic introduced some concepts that were, like the Amiga itself, ahead of their time. Take a look and let me know (alex at owonder dot com) if you ever got to play with this at is was only available to UK dealers but included some fun (but creative and useful) demos and a very web like animated scrolling page with hyperlinks to the individual applications.

Through the process of invention, discovery and the occasional foreign policy snafu, mankind has gotten itself into a position where it is now trying everything it can to avoid the inevitable, except for the obvious.

Whoops, apocalypse?
