  1. Re:Great on Google Blurring Sensitive Map Information · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    Now terrorists will find it a lot easier (and be sure about it!) where to "fly" their aircrafts. I think placing these pixels over sensitive targets is security-wise counterproductive or outright dangerous!!

  2. In Silico? on Intel, IBM Announce Chip Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I don't know if you have noticed, but the old expression in silico will now have to be dropped...

    In ferro perhaps!

  3. Google is so rich... on YouTube To Pay For User-Generated Content · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seems they need to new find ways to spend their fortunes...

    Why don't they start working on their own OS to go head-to-head with Microsoft? If there is one company that can do it, Google Inc. is!

  4. e-Health is needed in the EU on Anger Over EU Medical Data-Sharing · · Score: 1

    The whole issue-raising is ridiculous. If the system gets intrinsic security mechanisms from day 1 everything will be ok as if the medical records had never left their home country.

    We Europeans have to accept the fact we live in a big unified community and many patients want to get treated in the best available centers, regardless they are in their own country or a neighbor one. Is this bad? C'mon, be realistic. Only advantages will come from this scheme.

    And I there is also money to save by the logistics advantages of a unified record system in the long term regarding patient mobility, clinical trials, organ transplants matching, etc.

  5. Re:Sad it died so soon after on Rare Shark Filmed in Japan · · Score: 1

    Probably it died after seeing the "ugly humans" studying it... hehe, jee, creepy shark!

  6. Re:Save time, declare victory on Small Form Factor PCs · · Score: 1
    Often the same people who bitch about how much everything costs because they can't do anything themselves.

    Haha, how true!
  7. Inbound Links on Wikipedia Adds No Follow to Links · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure this "no follow" evolution is so dramatic...

    Afterall, what's really important are the INBOUND Wikipedia links. I really like to see Wikipedia results ranked first, especially for one-word queries. From there, one can follow the Wikipedia links.

    In other words, it's fine for me if Google links to the combined authority-hub system Wikipedia has become. The rest is up to me. :)

  8. Re:Patented Breast Cancer Genes? on Nobel Laureate Attacks Medical Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Detection and treating methods can be patented. A malady and its underpinnings not. That said, patents indeed slow down low-cost access to pharmaceuticals.

  9. Free Will in Courts of Law on Neuroscience, Psychology Eroding Idea of Free Will · · Score: 1

    Just don't appear in a courthouse saying you read this article in the Economist and it wasn't you who broke the law but "your faulty brain"...

  10. First Sense on Human Sense of Smell Underestimated · · Score: 1

    I smell dead people. Walking around like regural people... :p

  11. Re:The way forward on Seven Search Engine Evolutions for '07 · · Score: 1

    What about a "learning" search engine (and directory)? I prefer to spend 15-minutes-per-week to tune this engine by feeding it with words, sentences, documents, etc. and then leave heuristics do the rest. Most of the things I search are similar to my work, hobbies, and interests. Ranking the results is critical for not wasting time. Of course, a great and intelligent algorithm is imperative. My faith is in Google. Again...

  12. India's e-recycling on Growing Problems With Electronics Waste · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been reading a lot about India's growing role in the business of electronic scavenging and recycling. Seems that this Asian country with the enormous population and booming e-economy tries to find new uses from obsolete equipment. Read here: http://www.physorg.com/news67098899.html
