If it hasnt allready been posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=_annotation_263672&feature=iv&src_vid=zif0_60b3WU&v=wSF82AwSDiU Its a TEDx talk from this year of a real science study with MRIs on how porn and games (or any addiction from novelty) is ruining our brains.

This blog nicely explains how banks have flooded food and oil markets and why there is such a high increase in their prices. It explains how commodity market functions and how are Wall street speculators almost a direct cause for turmoils around the world.

Why are you even heaving an election since its now known that 3/4 of your GDP is ran by the unelected FED bankers? http://pubrecord.org/nation/8622/pentagon-papers-wall-street/

This is the worst analogy I've seen this week. Clearly someone doesn't know how football works. Even the octopus has more chance to guess the results than an algorithm with no referee error or pure luck modeled in. You do not need a computer to tell you who the favorites are.

It looks to me like modern mass gathering. We all know what a charismatic leader and with a few pugilistic punch lines can do to the mass mob. You are innocent until proven guilty and this is a one sided witch hunt and strongly against peoples right to privacy. It is a good thing in some cases, but bad in most.

Well I tested Opera mini against symbian browser in my Nokia, but still:

BBC main mobile page:
Operi Mini: 7kB (!); 3 good q thumbnails
Symbina in build browser: 26kB; one thumbnail more - commercial

CNN main mobile page:
Opera mini: 13kB
Symbian in build browser: 68kB; one thumbnail more - local weather

Engadget main page, tested several times, couldn't bealive the results:
Opera Mini: 177kB
Symbian in build browser: 2.50MB (!)


Ofc, App store would never allow Opera ;)
Even dough Opera uses their proxy servers, for compressing the data and sending it to clients, the loading of pages is still faster because of the good compression and add-blocking.

Bullshit covers this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFiDfwsphVs 6:15 onwards. Makes you loose hope in humanity.

Does a clip have to get on YouTube to get posted on /.? Its been on TEDs for months now... several speeches emphasized these theme in the past and like someone said, was widely distributed more then a decade ago in Goleman's bestseller Emotional intelligence.

What is the point of a study if everyone thinks it was corporate sponsored? I am a cynic person myself but if the study said that organic is healthier then everyone would say it was paid by the green/organic industry corps. btw, I know farmers that just fill out the state forms and get federal subvention for being 'organic', but what they do on the field is something different. Of course they don't spray the shit out of it but its certainly not organic or else the harvest is halved.

I use Opera since way back and I convinced a lot of my more computer educated friends to use it to... but last years was a pain. A lot of sites did not render well on Opera 9.x and I had to use snail FireFox for them. Opera 10 Alpha worked well dough, last half a year I used it instead of Firefox for sites that did not render correctly. 99.99% of sites I tried were rendered well and now that its status is beta I officially switched beta for my main browser. It works surprisingly good, integrated spell check is amazing and some of the old features that I had to enable/change them with editing .ini files are configurable now via GUI. And I have no idea why you folks diss Opera add-block, it works for long time as someone already mentioned, and it works good. The only other browser I tried and was as good as Opera was Chrome, mainly because of it amazing speed and Opera failed on some Google Aps (no way of using spreadsheets with Opera 9.x). Short story, stop dissing Opera, most of the critics here are gone with version 10 so try it first.
