One question is: will Google record (and post-process) search strings and the ip addresses associated with them? Or will searches be anonymous?
If the former, there is (potentially) great value in knowing that (for example) Microsoft is searching for prior art related to "concurrent interactive television for network connected devices"
"The earlier younger ladies learn how to walk in heels, the better it's going to be in the long run - with business and social lives," said former backing singer Chyna Whyne, who runs the course.
Hmm--there must be a shortage of young, female prostitutes in London.
Also--doesn't this reverse 40 years of feminism by enforcing the idea that to get ahead "with business and social lives," woman must wear "fuck me pumps?"

Of the three techniques mentioned, the "Pomodoro Technique" works best for me:
I start each day by making a log of things to do, then tackle each in 25-minute intervals called Pomodoros. When a Pomodoro is over, I mark an X on the log next to the item I am working on, then take a refreshing 3- to 5-minute break. Nothing must be allowed to interrupt a Pomodoro. If co-workers barge in, Mr. Cirillo advises trying to defer the conversation.
"The brain is set up to manage two tasks, but not more, a new study suggests. That's because, when faced with two tasks, a part of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex (MFC) divides so that half of the region focuses on one task and the other half on the other task. This division of labor allows a person to keep track of two tasks pretty readily, but if you throw in a third, things get a bit muddled. 'What really the results show is that we can readily divide tasking. We can cook, and at the same time talk on the phone, and switch back and forth between these two activities,' said study researcher Etienne Koechlin of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France. 'However, we cannot multitask with more than two tasks.'"

One day while a guy was checking-out, Jake started licking his (Jake's) balls.
Is there any kind of sex that is safe?
My dog humping your leg?
Anyway, here's a true story:
When I was self-employed, my dog, Jake, used to lay on the floor by the check-out counter.
One day while a guy was checking-out, Jake started licking his balls.
Seeing this, the guy commented, "Gee, I wish I could do that!"
I replied, "Go ahead--Jake won't mind.

Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab
If Apple had a similar product, it might be called the iEye, requiring iSurgery to install.
And in just a few days after the iSurgery, one is over the iSore.
I just discovered the links in my post are no longer valid due to "search session expired."
My apologies.
I saw this story on the local CBS news station.
I also learned they are very interested in this.

Which, oddly, does not work for Coneheads.

In related news, Jeff Bezos has just submitted a patent application to do this bulk download in 1-Click or 1-Nod.
I'd like to see a chart of NPG's "exorbitant subscription increases" and UC's tuition costs vs. time
5 will get you 10 that UC is much higher.
Apparently Takashima-san never heard of (Richard) Gere's First Law:
"If it can be inserted into an orifice, it will."
The cover photo is of... snails?
Naturally, the immediate association is with "a snail's pace."
+1 for unintended consequence. Sigh.
crystallization of human wisdom???
Of course, since the Internet took off, the sum total of human wisdom probably hasn't grown all that much.
After crystallization, is the next phase "fossilization?"
China has declared the Internet to be 'the crystallization of human wisdom'
Imagine how proud Al Gore must be.
Now that's a yellow cab!
that's such a brilliant idea that I would be surprised if it hasn't already happened.
Perhaps Jeff Bezos will try to patent that too!
While there was no listing for FART, there was one for BARF.

Replying to self:
Ah, so that's what "MFC" stands for.
And given that it divides half and half, it explains why programs written with it would not support more than two simultaneous threads.

I'd nod in agreement but unfortunately I'd be violating Bezos' latest patent application.
