In the latest internet gaming craze, an indie developer has managed to capture the hearts and minds of thousands of addicted gamers by creating a charmingly low-resolution gaming phenomenon known as Minecraft. We’re here to tell you all about the reasons this game is quickly becoming a giant in the world of gaming, despite lacking the marketing and development clout of a higher-budget game.

Scientists recently discovered a near-Earth planetoid orbiting a star only about 20 lightyears away. What does it MEAN?! Could it support human life outside of our solar system? Of course it’s got issues… it may be tidally locked, and we don’t actually know what it’s atmosphere is made of. Oh, and traveling 20 lightyears would take about 180,000 years using current propulsion methods. But a man can dream, right?!

Obviously, due to the lack of microprocessor technology and the harnessing of electricity, these tools could never have existed in these ancient periods. But what about the future of human civilization? Are our “empires” of today destined to reign for eternity because of our ability to communicate?

On Sept 27th, 2010, representatives from the US Military and Gov’t operations held a press conference to publicly announce their belief that we are being repeatedly visited by extra-terrestrial lifeforms.

On tonight’s show, the J@N crew gets REAL with the potential repercussions of these actions, if they are to be believed, and prepares to publicly announce our worship and obedience to our new Gods from the Sky

Any of us could probably come up with hundred different “So Bad That They’re Awesome” movie scenes that involve technology in some manner.

In tonight’s J@N, we’ll share with you some of our favorite blunders in Hollywood technology, and let you laugh along with us.

Let’s cut to the chase here — spiders are creepy as hell! And none of the Jupiter Team would likely be caught dead staring at enough pictures of them, to do research for a show about them. BUT, their webs are another story. Even though these silky tendrils are produced from the butts of our fearsome nemesis, we still find them fascinating. Tonight we’ll discuss some of the amazing properties of spider webs in detail, as well as let you in on some scary genetic research currently being performed to produce it artificially for human use.

We live in a world where each person is connected to every other person in strange and powerful ways.

A keen observer of the news will have noticed a constant and steady march towards exploring and learning more about our own solar system.

Tonight we take a practical look at space travel, and what our local space neighborhood might look like in roughly 100 years!

We all use computers on a daily basis. Most of our time is spent staring into the soft glow of a screen of some design or another, whether it be a PC, handheld device, or cell phone.
