- militarization
- stats of #UAV used since 2000 up to now
- number of kills UAV done total and per UAV
- curves visual to see the trends
- underlying strategy (priority matrix, algorithms, ...) per UAV
- evolution of their embedded strategies
- resources
- water
- energy
- oil
- who will know when OPEC reach peak oil first?
- gas
- uranium
- oil
- computer part required (coltan, silicon, ...)
- cycles used in national supercomputers

- http://www.top500.org/
- Green500 a ranking of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world

- evolution of technologies
- SantaFe Performance Curve Database see how performance has changed over time

Cognition
- When did a normal person (financial median) had the computational power of a historically earlier society?

To do
- each question must have a target page to update
- i.e. where should the answer be used
- add a formalism and a notification in order to automatically do queries
- search RSS using OpenSearch
- question answering engines
- comparison page which would send to query to all the selected engines
- providing a display with the question and then the list of engines with their reply
- Wolfram|Alpha
- asked for an RSS response in case of no current answer but no reply so far (as of early June 2009)
- True Knowledge with its good idea of Firefox Add-on to "enhance" Google searches
- Powerset
- IBM - The DeepQA (based on Open Advancement of Question Answering initiative, spearheaded by IBM and CMU)
- Human-based Q&A Services on ReadWriteWeb (similar to Yahoo! Answers)
- or... OpenCog chatbot?
- comparison page which would send to query to all the selected engines
- monitoring newly opened datasets
- Google News Alert
- leverage Amazon spot instances as initially requested by Greg Linden
