CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - May 13, 2014 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika government is spending billions of dollars to ensure that they can monitor and track every single activity in which you engage, be it online or offline. The latest attempt to infringe on your personal anonymity comes in the form of what has been referred to as Real I.D., essentially a social security number for the Internet that would be used to follow your every move in cyberspace. Coupled with technologies that include email mining, global positioning systems, predictive behavioral analysis, drones over Amerika, and even eavesdropping via microphones on our cell phones, the ultimate goal is a surveillance state so expansive that Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin would be jealous.

SAN FRANCISCO, Kalifornia (PNN) - April 20, 2014 - Here at DVICE, graphene is kind of a big deal. The element allows for innovation as far reaching as 2D computers, neon buildings with solar paint, and bandages that can help shield from infection. Frankly, it’s almost like the stuff is fictional. Luckily for the human race, it isn’t, and we’ve just discovered something pretty cool: flowing salt water over it generates electricity.

WUPPERTAL, Germany (PNN) - April 18, 2014 - I have some news that might be kind of hard to hear: you are never going to become Spider Man. Radioactive spiders don't exist, humans can't naturally stick to walls with their hands and feet, and a person trying to swing from a skyscraper with "webbing" would probably rip his arms right out of their sockets.
