In 2011 the founders of Facebook and Amazon were invited to the G8. Google sent its CEO at that moment, Eric Schmidt (the one in between the two founders).
The governmental power tried this way, to integrate the innovation leaders in their system.
I have included as separate posts in the blog, the most well-known albums and songs with the title of 'Blackout'. However there are many others. Some of them, also gathered in the wikipedia:
The 13th of July,1977 NYC was sunk into a blackout that lasted two days.
The city succumbed to chaos. A heat wave along with the financial crisis that was ravaging the USA, as a direct consecuence of the first fuel crisis, caused the population to take over the streets. Looting, ransacking and incendiary acts, blighted the city.
A rolling blackout is an intentionally-engineered electrical power outage where electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over geographical regions. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company in order to avoid a total blackout of the power system. They are usually in response to a situation where the demand for electricity exceeds the power supply capability of the network.
14th of August of 2003, 55 millions people were affected by a non-planified power outage
The causes were never clear. Canadian government gave all kind of contradictory explanations that the American government denied.
Canada supplies the energy to a large percentage of Americans living in the northeast cost. In this blackout 45 out of the 55 millions affected, lived in the USA. The blackout started in one the energy generation stations in Ontario, Canada.
A list with all the unprogrammed outages that has affected more than 1.000 people, during mor than 1.000 horas, or more than 1.000.000 people during at least one hour.
(loss of consciousness) a momentary loss of consciousness, vision, or memory
(in wartime) the extinguishing or concealment of all visible lights in a city, military post, etc., usually as a precaution against air raids.
(power failure) a period during a massive power failure when the lack ofelectricity for illumination results in utter darkness exceptfrom emergency sources, as candles.

I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout in the 'Heroes' album of David Bowie, 1977
Oh you, you walk on past
Your lips cut a smile on your face
Your scalding face
To the cage, to the cage
She was a beauty in a cage
Too, too high a price
To drink rotting wine from your hands
Your fearful hands
Get me to a doctor's I've been told
Someone's back in town the chips are down
I just cut and blackout
I'm under Japanese influence
And my honour's at stake
The weather's grim, ice on the cages
Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming
If you don't stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain
I'll kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
In the rain
Get me to the doctor
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
Get me on my feet (get some direction)
Hot air gets me into a blackout
Oh, get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh get me on my feet (wo wo)
While the streets block off
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)
Get me on my feet (get some direction, wo-ooh!)
Oh get me on my feet
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
Get a second
Get wo wo
Yeah
Get a second ? breath on advice ?
And a second blow
Blackout
It refers to all those laws that have been passed in the Western countries in order to undermine the freedoms and the free use of Internet.

Armada Mini-Con Blackout (2002)Blackout was one of the first-released Mini-Cons that were included with a larger Transformer. Blackout was able to attach to Demolishor to form the front section of the Decepticon's tank mode, or he was able to sit on the seat on Demolishor's back. When attached to a special Mini-Con port, he can fire Demolishor's shoulder missiles.

Armada Built to Rule Blackout (2003–2004)Blackout was also part of the Built to Rule toy line, again as Demolishor's partner, and during 2004, he was recolored with a 'Night Attack' scheme which was not based on an existing Transformers toy. In the Japanese series, Blackout was named Search and later Spark Search when he was recolored.
Energon Mini-Con Blackout (2004)Ten years after the events in Armada, Demolishor retained his original form, only with a new color scheme. Blackout also received a new color scheme to match Demolishor's. However, Blackout did not appear in the Energon animated series. Blackout did not reappear when the Armada Demolishor toy was repainted for Transformers: Cybertron.
