- Worldchanging has an interesting
article about “cool”
TF-SOFCs. If they can
pull these off they’ll be fantastic — I love the idea of my laptop running for
longer than currently on a battery the size of 4 sugarcubes. - Eliza
sex-bot passes Turing test — I’m not sure whether this is a sad reflection on
humanity or not - Jason has a fantastic comedy (or possibly
predictive) post about the
Cult of Ken Jennings, where he describes a world when the Jeopardy-winning dude’s
winning streak carries on so long it becomes part of the game. I think we should
all remember he predicted it first 😉 - BugMeNot’s Registration Form is one
of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time. My favourite questions are:Would you be willing to have an RFID chip inserted under your skin in
exchange for a free, 12 month newspaper subscription?
What if we told you that you couldn’t access news unless you agreed?Make sure you read right to the end, it’s worth it!
- Interesting
look at the changing state of the diamond market via Kottke - Great story about a Microsoft presenter assuming everyone uses IE and being

really does win? - Some interesting design
guidelines. Worth a read
Zoom in IE, via ParanoidFish- GooglePreview puts thumbnails
of the site next to Google search results. Looks quite a cute Firefox extension;
via ParanoidFish - So, what happens when you have a load of tribal artefacts and you parade them around
their country of origin?
They take them back. Bloody fantastic! And they’ve hit the nail on the head, when they
say“If you haven’t got a past then you haven’t got a future and it is our future at stake here.”
- We were surprised when we heard that Google in
the UK had slowed down to MyDoom. Surely they’re not running Windows? Well, as this article
explains, it was actually
requests from infected Win machines that slowed Google down. We can all rest easy again 😉
