Amazon.com Now Selling More Kindle Books Than... →

Put some clothes on
sneapy: Wow wow wow. Why is there so much about sex on my dashboard? Seriously, please save that stuff for when you’re having a private conversation with your friends, or half naked pictures of yourself for your partner. Posting that stuff to strangers on the internet really isn’t wise.  Just saying.  I really don’t understand why our culture is so obsessed with broadcasting sex. Save it...

APE IN A CAPE: Dear Modern Feminism →
gailsimone: Holy crap, what is going on? I’m so frustrated with this cause that I dearly believe in. Instead of reaching for tolerance and high ideals, the intellectual wing of feminism seems mired in ego, short-sightedness and celebrity snark. Instead of being a philosophical haven for both the poet and…

YouTube gives up on original 'Rickroll'
infoneer-pulse: roomthily: In what’s either the saddest or most fantastic news of the week, the YouTube video for Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” has been deemed a copyright violation. Yes, that means the cheesy ’80s pop video with tens of millions of views—the center of the “Rickrolling” Internet phenomenon—is no more. via CNET News sad day

I am not many miles from the exchange. I can get almost 5 gig on a good day, but mostly it’s about 3-4, and less.. Don’t talk to me about packet loss though, well to be more transparent and less techy - don’t talk to me on Skype or packet loss will mean video and VOIP voice over the internet protocol will be hit and miss and often impossible - much to the amusement of my German...

comicbooks: Nikki Finke and Mike Fleming write: Warner Bros is trying to ready its DC Comics stalwart Superman to soar again on the Big Screen, and the studio has turned to Chris Nolan to mentor development of the movie. Our insiders say that the brains behind rebooted Batman has been asked to play a “godfather” role and ensure The Man Of Steel gets off the ground after a 3 1/2-year hiatus....

Old Sniper
usedup: Old Sniper It was a simple question 84-year old Ted Gundy put to the guys at Shooting USA’s Impossible Shots: “How is it possible for snipers today to hit targets from such long ranges?” From most of us, it would have been a gee-whiz kind of question, the kind that gets a polite “thanks for watching, snipers use….” kind of form letter response. But Ted Gundy wasn’t just another...

Can the Euro Survive?
Twenty years ago, at the height of the last recession, Britain faced many of the same problems of unemployment and spiralling Government debt, that we do today. Yet there was one vital difference: there was precisely nothing that the British government could do about all this because of our membership of the Exchange Rate Mechanism. Yet at this time the Conservative Government, the Labour Party,...
