Just to be clear, the 3% number includes Americans who are on parole or probation. It's about .8% in prison. Still very high.

I thought that seemed a little off. What are the average percentages in Europe and elsewhere?

Submission + - Threadlike Carbon Nanotube Fiber Combines Strength, Flexibility and Conductivity (gizmag.com)

Submitted by Zothecula on Monday January 14, 2013 @11:14AM

Zothecula writes: At about 100 times the strength of steel at one sixth the weight and with impressive electrical conductive properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have promised much since their discovery in 1991. The problem has been translating their impressive nanoscale properties into real-world applications on the macro scale. Researchers have now unveiled a new CNT fiber that conducts heat and electricity like a metal wire, is very strong like carbon fiber, and is flexible like a textile thread.

Most of the criticism of Brian's criticism is valid, but this video is hilarious and points out some very valid flaws. They may be overstated, yes, and if he gave it the 30 days of use he was planning to give it, maybe Windows 8 wouldn't be so perplexing, but I'm sure glad we got to experience this knee-jerk reaction in its current form. Kudos for Brian for posting this awesome animated essay.
