Reverse Gear writes "The New York Times has an interesting article about how different kinds of fringe is starting to mean more in the fight for the best brains in Silicon Valley. The article mainly focuses on Google's high tech shuttle bus system which is quite extensive covering a huge portion of the San Fransisco Bay area and allows the employees to be much more efficient. 1/4 of the employees are now using this system. A Google software engineer quoted in the article:
"They could either charge for the food or cut it altogether, (...) If they cut the shuttle, it would be a disaster.""

Several readers alerted us to this piece in PC World reporting on concerns that GoDaddy might not be ready for the DST changeover. Some readers, and others, claimed that GoDaddy's servers are not reachable now and are not serving email or web sites; but others see no evidence of this. The article recounts the rather flip response one GoDaddy customer got from their tech support: "As Daylight Savings [sic] does not apply to our servers, since we are on Arizona Time and our time zone does not change, our servers wouldn't update." When IDG News Service contacted GoDaddy they got an altogether more sensible reply.

Roland Piquepaille writes "With the financial help of NASA, American and European researchers have developed a new sensor to check for life on Mars. It also should be able to determine if traces of life's molecular building blocks have been produced by anything alive. The device has already been tested in the Atacama Desert in Chile. And it should be part of the science payload for the ExoMars rover planned for launch in 2013.

Memories for Baby Boomers

bbbaldie writes "If you are a Baby Boomer who grew up in the US (I hope that's not redundant), you'll probably have some old memories rekindled at my site, I Remember JFK.
If you have any memory at all of JFK (all I can remember is the day he was assassinated), you'll probably slap yourself upside the head and say "Wow! I'd forgotten all about that!" as you read about stuff like Big Chief tablets, Fleer Funnies, Spiro Agnew watches, punchcard bills, etc. etc.
