I once again checked out Wired magazine online. This week’s magazine had an article on the court ruling pertaining to this country’s first amendment, and information that was posted on a whistle-blower wiki. I have heard about these whistle-blower sites, but have never checked on one before. I perked up when I saw that this one was a wiki. Wikileaks states on its Home page the following: “Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable system for untraceable mass document leaking and public analysis. Our primary interests are in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we expect to be of assistance to peoples of all countries who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations.” (http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Wikileaks, 2008) I clicked on a few of the links, however the deeper I investigated, the more I had a feeling I should not be on something like this. From the looks of it, there is an abundant amount of information on this site that could possibly enable the wrong kind of person to do dangerous things.
After being scared out of the Wikileaks, I checked out what the authors of Wired thought about the Quaranta solar-assisted hybrid supercar. They think that it is ugly. Well, it sure looks better than the older Prius. If they would bring out a sporty and fast hybrid car like the Quaranta, I would certainly look into purchasing one. However, until they do, I will continue to drain my pocketbook to keep my good-looking sporty car. If you are interested in looking at a picture of the Quaranta, the link is http://blog.wired.com/cars/
