According to this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/latimests/20050616/ts_lati mes/deepdarksecretsofhisandherbrains brain size doesn't equate with intelligence. But rather neuron density and linkages between the right and left hemispheres. The woman in the article has profiled and studied a large number of human brains and found some interesting results. Definitely worth the read.
I'm surprised there is not more talk about GBPVR (www.gbpvr.com). I use it on my everyday workstation with a Hauppauge PVR-250 in conjunction with a networked Hauppauge MediaMVP connected to my TV. From my couch I can pull up the GBPVR server on the MediaMVP, select what to record or watch, check the weather, read Slashdot headlines, listen to Net radio stations, and more. Free (as in beer) software with great support and lots of additional development community plug-ins. When I was looking at building my own PVR this software was the only package that had it all. I don't need a dedicated box, doesn't slow down my system, is feature rich and works seemlessly with the MediaMVP...what more can you ask?
This is a not a very scientific observation but I noticed as I progressed to higher levels of college math that the number of lefties seemed much higher than average. I've also noticed that many actors seem to be left-handed, a higher percentage than the rest of the population. Anybody else seen this?
