    Now when I go to the movies, instead of worrying about Brad Pitt having a red dot on his face, I have to worry about the screen igniting. Good times.

    The first rule of batter recall is you don't talk about battery recall.

    From one of the picture descriptions:

    "A center console is mounted on the railing between the front row chairs to hold the phone, lighted Caller ID and intercom."

    Caller ID? Who's calling you?

    Or, is it that the behavior of enjoying a drink or two a day is correlated with something else that extends longevity (e.g., having more friends, being more relaxed and less stressed, etc.).

  14. Re:65 million? on Study Provides Compelling Evidence of Single Impact Extinction Theory · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I read this yesterday and have been looking in occasionally to read the comments at the bottom. It looks like there must be some global creationist group that is directing traffic to the story, as every comment makes just that same arguement. I guess the creationist party line is that the "flood" wiped out the dinosaurs. That's a lot of water.

  15. I for one... on Acoustic Levitation Works On Small Animals · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...welcome our flying ant/spider/dead fish overlords!

  16. Exactly on Sony 'Anti-Used Game' Patent Explored · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Right. If I'm buying this license, I feel I should be entitled to my purchase for the duration of my life. I had my car broken into twice in 6 months, losing tons of CDs. I should be able, as a licensee, to receive a replacement copy of all those CDs.

  19. Much agreed on M.I.T. Explains Why Bad Habits Are Hard to Break · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ignorance of the last 60 years of psychology research is one of the embarrassing secrets of cognitive neuroscience. These researchers have spent their careers becoming competent in methods for obtaining data (MRI, PET, EEG) and are largely ignorant of paradigms, theories, and findings of the experimental psychology literature. At the university level, it is difficult to hire a cognitive neuro person, who is well trained in psychology and whose primary focus is on psychological processes and who see brain imaging only as a tool. This article is a good example of what's lacking.

  20. Big Deal... on EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month · · Score: 0, Redundant

  24. Re:Companies warning to NOT install the upgrade on It's not a Feature, It's a Vulnerability! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've now installed the update on 3 of my macs. The only real issue so far has been that one machine needed it's printers reset. On a "more annyoing" note, the update added an insane number of unwanted bookmarks and bookmark folders to Safari (NY Times, Mac.com, Amazon, eBay, etc.). I can't remember this happening after the installation of previous Safari updates. I hope this isn't a new trend.
