Obsessed with Celebrities
I've been wondering these past few weeks, why are we so obsessed with celebrities? We want to know what they wear, who they are dating, what they are eating, what they do, what they buy, and the list goes on and on. We've essentially created a huge industry for the paparazzi trying to capture photos of celebrities doing everything from taking their kids on walks to taking a crap. Why? Are our lives so mundane and pitiful that we have to obsess over what Brad Pitt eats or where Paris Hilton puked? It's a hard one because I try not to get pulled into all that junk but I sometimes find myself surfing around the Internet just to see how Madonna is wearing her hair nowadays. What do you think?I think:
I did a quick search on "obsessed with celebrities" on Google and found some interesting hypothesis. One guy writes on Slate.com that it has to do with the human instinct to reproduce, meaning it's all about sex. I found this link on some guy's blog who also gives another reason: social status. There are those who warn about celebrity obsession like Dr. Phil. There's even an article on Irish Health.com that discusses how bad it is for teenagers to get overly-obsessed with celebrities. My own opinion goes back to my high school days. There are just those people who seem to have "it." You know the popular people. Everyone wants to be like them. I think we never really lose that when we "grow up" and that's why we're so obsessed with celebrities. They're popular, have tons of money, and good looks and we want to be like them.

With me it's more like staring at a train wreck. The Victoria Beckhams and Paris Hiltons make me shudder but, just like when I was a kid and I sneaked out of bed to watch the late horror movie, I always open the magazine to read more about their tantrums, divorces, anorexia, whatever. Then I think "gruesome little tarts" and put it back on the rack but next week I know I'll do it again!

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
