GAS (PETROL) PUMP
September 5, 1885 - Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
Sylvanus Bowser, inventor of the first U.S. gas pump, made his initial sale to Jake Gumper, owner of a service station in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The pump held one barrel of gasoline, and used marble valves and a wooden plunger. It was built in Bowser's barn, and patented in 1887.
KAZAA HELD LIABLE
September 5, 2005 - Australia
The continuing war between file-sharing services and the record labels has moved to Australia where the Australian Federal Court ordered Kazaa's owners, Sharman Networks, to modify the software to prevent further piracy. This is just another one of the many court cases the record labels are bringing in the US and around the world to protect their music. Earlier in the year the US Supreme Court ruled that file-sharing services could be held liable for copyright infringement under certain circumstances. In the ongoing war between File Sharing Services and the Record Industry as the industry targets one file sharing company others become more popular with Bit Torrent now 4 times as popular as Kazaa. It is thought that nearly 50% of all traffic on the Internet is Peer to Peer traffic.

Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes.
Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.
