I was like, “what did he think I would do with his Wi-Fi password? Sell it on eBay may be.

But, it’s not nearly as easy as recent reports have suggested. We can’t exactly pack up our suitcases and make home on a new planet any time soon and likely not for hundreds of years to come. We also still have much to learn about Promixa b. So, what does this mysterious new planet offer us? Proxima b is Still Extremely Far When reports indicate that Proxima b is nearby, they mean relative to the entire size of the universe....

Though the default new tab page of Chrome offers quick ways to access favorites, apps and most visited websites, it’s bland look doesn’t appeal to me.
