This means that you can install Adeona on your laptop and go &mdash; there&#39;s no need to rely on a single third party. What&#39;s more, Adeona addresses a critical privacy goal different from existing commercial offerings. It is privacy-preserving. This means that no one besides the owner (or an agent of the owner&#39;s choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. Unlike other systems, users of Adeona can rest assured that no one can abuse the system in order to track where they use their laptop. <em>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metafilter.com\/75359\/To-the-bastards-that-stole-my-laptop\">MeFi<\/a>)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/files\/2008\/10\/up-to-three-quarters-of-antarctic-penguins-will-die-two-degree-temperature-rise.php\" title=\"Kiss Penguins Goodbye if the Planet Warms 2 Degrees Celsius\">Kiss Penguins Goodbye if the Planet Warms 2 Degrees Celsius<\/a>: According to a report from WWF if global warming increases temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius more than half of Antarctica&#39;s colonies of Emperor penguins could be wiped out.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlepi.nwsource.com\/local\/382395_needle09.html?source=rss\" title=\"Under the Needle: A vote for beer over politics\">Under the Needle: A vote for beer over politics<\/a>: What followed over the next 16 years not only made Rainier Washington&#39;s most popular beer once again, but also became a template for an entire industry.
