It’s been a mind-boggling absence. Yes, it has been some
time since I wrote here on www.mind-bogglings.blogspot.com.
This did not happen for lack of trying. Repeated efforts to post frustrated
this writer. The on-line message I got was “error on page” which prompted my messages to Google feedback asking for help. Then recently I got the answer:
A window popped up telling me I may not be able to access
some operations unless I upgrade to Chrome, the upgrade to Google’s search
engine. I have always preferred Yahoo for my searches of the internet but now I
must “upgrade” to Chrome in order to utilize my blog. That’s a great strategy
for migrating me to Chrome, huh? It must be working with others also since the
September 30, 2013 issue of Time Magazine states that reportedly Chrome is the
most popular browser. It takes some time for people like me to catch up I
guess. Hopefully I have.Chrome is working good for me.
In the same issue, Time states that Google has announced the
formation of a new wholly owned corporation to carry out a brand new endeavor.
This new Corporation is called Calico. It is a venture to find ways to extend
the human life span. The front page of Time poses the question: Can Google
Solve Death? It goes on to say: “That would be crazy-if it weren’t Google.”
Now, extending human life is a mind-boggling goal that I
would support 100% and will keep tabs on without fail. After all, I am not a
great fan of death.
