Valleywag is Silicon Valley's tech gossip rag. In welcoming his guests, Valleywag says: "You people in Silicon Valley are far too busy changing the world to care about sex, greed and hypocrisy. But if you ever need a break, come visit us at Valleywag. "And Valleywag is not just for those in Silicon Valley. Anyone can pay them a visit to http://valleywag.com/.Valleywag focuses primarily on the people of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. To those who charge that Silicon Valley is all too sad and serious for gossip, Valleywag says: "Yes, it was the general consensus. Chris Nolan, who used to write a gossipy column, Talk is Cheap, the San Jose Mercury News in the 1990s, and Fucked Company has dirt on all startup that went bankrupt after 2000. But Silicon Valley has led to gossip. And a lot of people who work in technology, at least in the markets, too dazzled by the immaculate future to mark the grime of this. The less charitable explanation: companies are nervous, PR professionals make, and the press surrounding "So, why did Valleywag start a website.? "Well, where there is money, there is a surplus, and there is a surplus, it is gossip. And there are now a lot of money again in Silicon Valley. Oh, and let's not forget Google. Did you know that Marissa Mayer, the anointed queen of Google, used to go out with Larry Page recently? And no one ever says that. So that's why. "What stories Valleywag cover? "Well, Marissa Mayer, to begin with, and tech media blunt coverage of her background. Unpopular venture capitalists. Larry Ellison's spending habits. The Googlejet. Parking etiquette. Cubicle neighbor's undeserved Porshe. Particularly nauseating examples of corporate jargon. Every story, pretty much, that people are talking about, but never see in print. And nothing is too trivial. "Who would stand behind such a website? "Valleywag is part of Gawker Media, which publishes titles such as second gossipy Gawker in Manhattan, Wonkette, Washington, DC and Defamer Hollywood - like the tech sites like Gizmodo and Lifehacker. The company makes money from advertising, but fortunately not from many of the companies that we are poking. "And who is the author of this A-List blog? His name is Nick Douglas and he is "a hungry little monster" who first visited San Francisco, just three months before the blog began, "plucked prematurely from basic English. Jane Austen's loss is Silicon Valley gains. Or maybe vice versa. However, Valleywag is also open to reader comments, either anonymous or bylined. "Nick Douglas have been swamped lately, but he was gracious enough to give this interview. I asked Nick Douglas what distinguishes his blog from other blogs. Quite simply, he replied, "We have more pictures of naked nerds than anyone else. Http: / / valleywag.com / tech / geeks-gone-wild "When did Nick Douglas start his blog and why? "February. For money. "At least Nick Douglas is blunt. So, what does an A-List blogger do when he's not blogging about Tech gossip in Silicon Valley? "Read comic books and watch Battlestar Galactica. Saturday nights are pahhhh-retty cahhhh-razy when I break out of a game Scrabble. "What is Nick Douglas favorite thing about blogging? "Wearing what I want to work. This always includes a tie. It includes never pants. "His least favorite thing about blogging? "No editor to cuddle me and make a clumsy pass at me after drinking whiskey in the office." But the question I was really aching to make this A-List blogger, the question that I knew would provoke a thorough and probably in-depth answer was: What do you think is the key to a successful blog? Hanging on the edge of your seats, boys and girls, because Nick Douglas provided the answer. "Lots of readers." Okay, so I guess I should put my own plans to develop an A-List blog on hold for now. But if you want your text to be displayed on an A-List blog, waiting for an opportunity at Valleywag. Reader comments by invitation only, as Valleywag editor wants to spend more time writing and less time moderating threads. But everyone has a fair chance to become a Valleywag commenter. You can either find a friend with an invitation to share, dish some gossip to Valleywag, Valleywag convince you are about to become an insider Valley, or to become a fellow blogger with something important to say. So, if you are tired of reading about Paris Hilton, but can not get enough of Mark Cuban, check out Valleywag. If you could care less about Lindsay Lohan is wearing panties this month but just dying to know if Yahoo's CEO will last through next year, check out Valleywag. If you prefer to read third quarter score sheet than the letters in Penthouse Forum, check out Valleywag. Or both, there is time. Especially if your Saturday nights usually involve a few rounds of online Scrabble.

It seems as if some scientists have come up with a suggestion to help counter the effects of global warming. Strange as it may seem the idea is to use air pollution to create a shield that the shadow of the earth which in turn cool the planet. This idea was not conjured up by anyone. Paul J. Crutzen, Nobel Prize winner, and several other leading scientists came up with this proposal and announced that the annual UN conference. Crutzen said that he intended to surprise the policymakers, and hopefully get to take more positive action on the issue of global warming. During the last century global temperatures have risen 1 degree Fahrenheit, and this proposal is supposed to help counter this climate change.However, this aroused great interest, and what research is being done now to see if this can function without side effects. A U.S. government climatologist, Tom Wigley ran scenarios in a computer model and said that if an estimated 10 million tons of sulfur was injected into the stratosphere, then actually cool the Earth for about a year . Many of their results and the numbers are based on the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. Wigley said the rash enough spilled sulfur into the stratosphere that cooled the Earth by about 0.9 degrees Celsius over a year. In addition, NASA is in the process of doing research in the Ames Research Center to work on various proposals to help combat global warming. Although this is not intended as a long-term, scientists are saying that it would provide a temporary shield until the political leaders could find a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which is the main source of greenhouse gases. The president of the UN scientists agree we must do all the research possible to reach a solution, but he wants to be 100% sure that there will be no side effects before he agrees to use air pollution as a temporary fix. If agreed this will be a radical change I am sure that will cause a huge controversy throughout the world. A lot of people that are not really concerned about global warming because of other issues we face today, but it is a problem that needs to be investigated and acted upon.
