FIRST-IN UNITS REPORT HEAVY FIRE CONDITIONS. POOR WATER SUPPLY AND FAST FIRE. SINGLE HOME. INHABITANTS TRAPPED, POSSIBLE CHILDREN. ALL UNITS RESPOND! You don’t feel like a hero. It’s what you do. Going into Hell is part of the job. You’ve been fighting fires for a couple of years...

You’ve inherited this used planet. It belongs to you now. Lots of luck. Our world is heating up, choking to death. We live on the thin crust of a rock, spinning in space. The only thing protecting us, from the deep cold abyss, is the fragile coating of air a few miles above us. The same...

You want to change the world? To replace the old things with newer better things? Want to be the next Steve Jobs? To create the next laptop, or a device that makes I-Phone obsolete? Maybe a radical new game console, the next fuel-efficient engine design, the next green-friendly house design? Eli...
