Exactly. Because a tiny percentage of the population might be offended, I can't search my images (which are all of binary gendered people) by the gender they are VASTLY OVERWHELMINGLY likely to be.

If you don't want to use Google, then don't. Open up IE, point your browser to Yahoo, and go nuts.

So if I go to someone's house and they didn't lock their door I should be allowed to wander around inside touching things? Right?

Are you seriously Athene, pushing a "movie" about yourself and calling yourself the "best WOW player in the world" ? And going on about how famous you are? If so, lame. Incredibly lame. Maybe you could go outside into the sunlight for a while? If you're NOT Athene and you've just put down your name as Athene and given Athene's email address.... Maybe the real Athene should hunt you down? BTW I don't play WoW so it doesn't matter to me, but your "news post" is crap.

caffeinemessiah writes: The New York Times has a story about a Korean kids' camp for "curing" Internet addiction. "Seventeen hours a day online is fine," said one such kid at the camp. From the article: "Drill instructors drive young men through military-style obstacle courses, counselors lead group sessions, and there are even therapeutic workshops on pottery and drumming....this year, the camp held its first two 12-day sessions, with 16 to 18 male participants each time. (South Korean researchers say an overwhelming majority of compulsive computer users are male.)"

Gary writes: "A team from the University of Tokyo have genetically engineered a mouse that does not fear cats. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb (the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose) the researchers were able to create a "fearless" mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators."
