Not sure if anyone has noticed the higher milk prices but it is true and even I can attest to it! In just a year, milk prices have gone up about 20%! We don't really realize it but almost everything we enjoy eating requires milk...cheese, chocolate, ice cream...
Everyone knows the prices of Google stocks and oil barrels but I guess this is interesting because it affects us everyday! The next Starbucks coffee you drink may no longer be the same low price you are used to. And fyi, Starbucks sells MORE MILK THAN COFFEE!!! Surprising huh?

For those of you into technology and sci-fi stuff check these interesting articles out.... the first is about robotic roaches that some crazy engineers came up with. Basically they act like the roaches and fit right in. Because roaches act in groups, they think that they might be able to control roach behavior with these robots.. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1684427,00.html
And then unmanned cars? I am sure you may have heard of it as some theoretical solution to traffic and all of that but people are actually working on it out there. Don't worry you won't be seeing an automatic car anytime soon but who knows maybe our kids will be driving (or i guess it'd be just sitting inside) these cars...
