    Readers Wonder: How Will It All End?

    By PopSci Staff Posted on 9.10.2008 21 Comments

    Nobody's implying that it's right around the corner, but an old question is on a lot of people's minds these days -- especially you readers. How will the world end? Wikipedia has a nice list of some possible scenarios. What's your favorite? Discuss in the comments.

    the earth will end in a catastrophic explosion at once with mountains imploding and lakes boiling. stars will fall from the skies and cities will freeze over in dry ice. Antarctica will sink so far into the crust of the earth, lava will over flow and destroy 1/3 of the planet. the orbit of the moon will close in so close, is enters the atmosphere, setting the skies aflame. eventually the moon will hit the earth , cracking it into billions of pieces. that's how it will end (don't worry, we got til 4092!)

    A couple of days ago, it was big news when ice was found on Mars. Now, an upcoming study in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta claims that the Martian environment was once wet enough to produce morning dew. This finding runs counter to the more widely accepted view that liquid water on Mars seeped up from the ground, rather than falling from the sky as precipitation.

    Hack an iPod touch Into an iVoIPhone Type Thingie

    By Posted on 1.22.2008 1 Comments

    Didya tell Santa to slip a brand new shiny Apple iPod touch under the tree fer ya this year? Good, because now you can head over to iPod Touch Mods for a somewhat cryptic project for adding an input microphone/preamp (neatly embedded inside a dock connector) to your new fangled Web-enabled MP3 player. Once youve mastered that technological feat, you can try to look up the enterprising hacks of eok for adding VoIP to your iPod touch w/microphone. With a little luck, you could have your 16Gb iVoIPhone ready for Macworld Conference & Expo San Francisco 2008 and scoop Apple on its own one more thing announcement.—Dave Prochnow (Image: touchmods.blog.com)
