According to an article from DigitalTrends blog Dec 20,
(http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/delicious-wont-be-shut-down-says-yahoo...) says that Yahoo, who owns the bookmarking site clarified its decision that they haven't decided to shutter the service but in fact will try and sell it. Apparently, Twitter started overflowing with “Save Delicious” statements because of Yahoo's claim “We continuously evaluate and prioritize our portfolio of products and services, and do plan to shut down some products in the coming months." Yahoo later said it has plans to find a new home for it. Some are saying it’s simply too late for Delicious, and that the fault is Yahoo’s. TechCrunch blogger Jon Orlin, a Yahoo employee for five years, claims he isn’t surprised by the company’s inability to develop Delicious. He questions the strategy or lack there of and said “…when you have ‘the biggest collection of bookmarks in the universe’ in a potentially very social product and you can’t figure out how to run it in a lean, innovative and profitable way, it’s a real sign you are in trouble.” He is also skeptical about any buyer of Delicious having success because it will have "missed the boat for the innovative startup." There are many more Bookmarking products these days which are more popular than they were in 2003 when Delicious debuted, and of course this means it’s worth less and also faces some very able competitors. You may like to try Pinboard and Diigo which most likely has importing features for existing Delicious bookmarks you have. For the near future I think I believe Delicious won't disappear in a poof.

Make a yummy treat for dessert while learning how fractals are constructed. The pattern is known as the Sierpinski carpet pattern. You can make jewelry out of fimo with this technique as well! If we knew making cookies could have been this fun and educational, we would have visited this website by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories way before this!
Researchers are developing a quick and efficient way to turn algae into a carbon-neutral biofuel by heating it in a device that acts like a pressure cooker. The new hydrothermal process overcomes two major barriers to large-scale conversion of microalgae to liquid fuels. The University of Michigan team is also examining the possibility of other new fuel sources —such as E. coli bacteria—that would feed on waste products from previous bio-oil batches.
"The vision is that nothing would leave the refinery except oil. Everything would get reused. That's one of the things that makes this project novel," says principal investigator Phillip Savage.
