Steorn - Free, Clean, Energy Technology
Steorn have developed a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy. This means never having to recharge your phone, never having to refuel your car. A world with an infinite supply of clean energy for all.
Update:
There are some people out there who claim that Steorn is nothing but a viral publicity stunt launched on behalf of the X-Box 360. The Wikipedia page about Steorn delivers the following ‘evidence’ for this:
- The circular logo is green, and the Xbox logo has green in it.
- An in-game screenshot used as a “stock image” on the downloads page.
- The “steorn.net” domain was only purchased in 2004.
- An anagram of “steorn” being “No Rest”.
- Massive press coverage that would prove only a liability and embarrassment for a legitimate energy company, when a failure was announced.
- Extraordinary and outlandish claims, spoken immodestly and without reservation.
- The registration page features a honeycomb stock image, in homage to the original I Love BEES viral marketing site.
- It doesn’t make sense to gather user registrations from the general public, just to release the results of a study. The results would likely be released through the same channels in which the original challenge was released. Rather, the accepting of user registrations is a ploy to keep people on-the-hook and informed when the revelation is made regarding the XBox.
