A case for Earth's greatest asset - The Blue Gold

If there is one greatest asset mankind has, it is his home planet. Earth is a very special place in our scheme of things. Until we are able to inhabit other planets and heavenly bodies, it is the only place where we can live. Only place to exist. Among the many gifts of earth is the gift of water. Countless billions have been spent looking for water in our solar system. But Earth is definitely the only place where the life giving water is so abundanlty available.
Water is a scare resource. It is sufficient for many more millenia to come, but there are still many issues concerning water. Water when refered by us mainly means fresh water resource. And fresh water is even scarcer resource.
It reminds me of a anecdote, when one of our professors wanted to teach us about infinity. He asked us, what would happen if we take a bucket of water from the ocean. The standard reply was nothing. What is a bucket of water when, ocean is so full. But the right answer was ocean would be shorter by a bucket of water, keeping all the things constant. It is like to saying, infinity is only infinite until we catch up with it.
Below listed are some resources by experts and subject matter specialists which highlights the importance of the issue at hand.
This is essentially a gold bugs page. But all the gold in the world cant quench the thirst. Water is irreplaceable. Water is without doubt most precious resource we have on earth. And it our duty to protect it and make sure future generations recieve the same blessing of earth.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
