  1. Whole quote on Zuckerberg: Betting On HTML5 Was Facebook's Biggest Mistake · · Score: 2

    “When I’m introspective about the last few years I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native because it just wasn’t there. And it’s not that HTML5 is bad. I’m actually, on long-term, really excited about it. One of the things that’s interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us.”

    A write up of why these studies are crap and why your belief that circumcision reduces the chance of penile cancer and STDs are unfounded.
    The problem is, there will be no retraction in the news papers about this. Circumcision is completely unnecessary and is nothing but mutilation.

  10. Re:Hmmmm, color me confused.... on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    Umm... you definitely are confused. Other children at risk are ones that can't be vaccinated due to genuine medical reasons. Vaccines do not stop you from being infected. They will reduce the severity and length you are infected but will not stop it.

    I agree that they shouldn't be mandatory but educating people is extremely difficult, especially when it is education in moderately difficult to understand science. We have people that believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old and evolution by natural selection is equivalent to a chimpanzee giving birth to a Homo sapien.

    A while ago I was speaking with overheard someone talking about a friend being fired for being high at work. I asked him more about it. Apparently the guy had been working in the same job (welder) for around 15 years. He had consumed cannabis at work over that entire time. It wasn't until a new manager came in and decided to fire him for this. It had nothing to do with his performance, he apparently did his job very well.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan

    In 1994, engineers at Apple Computer code-named the Power Macintosh 7100 "Carl Sagan" in the hope that Apple would make "billions and billions" with the sale of the PowerMac 7100.[4] The name was only used internally, but Sagan was concerned that it would become a product endorsement and sent Apple a cease and desist letter. Apple complied, but engineers retaliated by changing the internal codename to "BHA" for "Butt-Head Astronomer".[64][65] Sagan then sued Apple for libel, a form of defamation, in federal court. The court granted Apple's motion to dismiss Sagan's claims and opined in dicta that a reader aware of the context would understand Apple was "clearly attempting to retaliate in a humorous and satirical way", and that "It strains reason to conclude that Defendant was attempting to criticize Plaintiff's reputation or competency as an astronomer. One does not seriously attack the expertise of a scientist using the undefined phrase 'butt-head'."[64][66] Sagan then sued for Apple's original use of his name and likeness, but again lost.[67] Sagan appealed the ruling.[67] In November 1995, an out of court settlement was reached and Apple's office of trademarks and patents released a conciliatory statement that "Apple has always had great respect for Dr. Sagan. It was never Apple's intention to cause Dr. Sagan or his family any embarrassment or concern."

    Yes, because being able to look up information at a whim is going to make people more stupid. Is memorising your friends address and phone number really that important to intelligence?
    I find these days that someone tells me something that sounds rather dubious, I look it up using my smartphone, find the truth and memorise that. I find that in checking facts when people tell me something, I am more likely to remember it later on.
