.hiv

.hiv is a global idea to fight HIV and AIDS. By the end of 2010, the number of people diagnosed with HIV would have reached 150 million.

AIDS continues to be a deadly diagnosis and to help stop it nonprofit organization Dot-HIV and Hamburg based agency Kemper Trautmann have launched a Facebook campaign, whose goal is to use the power of the Internet and establish a new top-level domain (such as .com or .org): .hiv.

Every website in the world could soon have the domain name ending .hiv – and while the content of the sites remain the same, you would do some good by using the .hiv-version of the website as every time someone visits such a website, the owner would donate a small amount of money to the Dot-HIV charity – or pay a monthly rate for the use of the domain name ending.

Talking Tree

Everybody has an opinion on Nature. But what about Nature’s opinion? EOS magazine decided to give Nature the means to talk. A 100 year old tree, living on the edge of Brussels, was hooked up to a fine dust meter, ozone meter, light meter, weatherstation, webcam and microphone. This equipment constantly measures the tree’s living circumstances. And translates this information into human language. Then, the tree lets the world know how he feels.
