Did you ever had this dream as a child, to be a king, and emperor or a president of an entire country? Well now is your chance.

A group of ultra rich millionaires have come up with a way to rule your own country, even if its the smallest one on earth. Peter Thiel (Paypal), Wayne Gramlich (Sun Microsystems) executive and Milton Friedman (Google) are behind this ambitious scheme of creating mini and independent nations floating on international waters.

These “nations” will be based on old oil rig platforms and would be big enough to fit a family.

To achieve this they formed the Seasteading Institute, and examine the impact of such communities.

A strange story has started from a picture found in Google Maps. Street View, a function of Google Maps, shows pictures taken from a specialised road vehicle with the intention to show us how the real street/area looks like. This can become the nightmare of all criminals.

The photograph above shows some sort of money transaction taking place and many speculate that this is a drug selling. Nevertheless Google has decided to take down this photo.

I am curious to find out why Google was forced to do so. Was there a reaction from the guy in the photo or were they afraid that there might be one?. Its not easy to have your picture posted online and everybody to assume that you are dealing drugs :)

The Nubrella hopes to become the umbrella of the 21st century. You get total freedom in both hands, total protection and durability,. It costs only $59.99 and it has definitely made an impression. I am not sure thought who will be those daring pioneers that will go out in public with this thing on their head. :)

Would you buy it?
