Camera shots made me dizzy, cool none the less though.

Amazon Reacts To Colorado Internet Sales Tax Measure By Firing Its Colorado Associates
Hate that Amazon is using Affiliates as their leverage with the state, but this could easily turn into a domino effect, they need to kill it with fire now.


The First Ever Gloriously Big, Gloriously Detailed Shots of an iPad Game
Well I have to admit, now I am thinking about getting one.


How Pandora Slipped Past the Junkyard
Amazing how much of Pandora is still based on human input and not algorithmic.


Chile Earthquake Moved Entire City 10 Feet to the West
Diagrams and Mother Nature are amazing.


When It Comes to Salt, No Rights or Wrongs. Yet.
For all the talk about the growing menace of sodium in packaged foods, experts aren’t even sure that Americans today are eating more salt than they used to. Interesting.. we have always tried to avoid sodium when possible.

Absolute Genius.

The Spy at Harriton High
Great read on the tech aspects of the Lower Merion theft tracking situation.


BMW commits to Megacity EV by 2013, will start by testing ActiveE all-electric 1 series next year
2012/2013 is a pretty quick turn around for the auto industry. Certainly makes you wonder how far away they were from it 5 years ago.


From shame to game in one hundred years: An economic model of the rise in premarital sex and its de-stigmatisation
Contraception has reduced the chance of unwanted pregnancies from premarital sex, and this in turn has changed social attitudes. I remember discussing with someone once what we thought the greatest achievement of the 20th century was and I said the Marconi's telegraph, the other person said contraception, they had me agreeing with them after 15 min of discussion.


Making a 3D Model From a Photosynth

Follow up oped in the NYT from Damian Kulash (who I featured on page 9 saying pretty much the same thing)


Twitter Tracker for the Olympics
Great way for NBC to keep a pulse on what is popular/or not and not at the Olympics from the app that my friends say is worthless and just people talking about what they ate for breakfast.


Behind the Windows 7 memory usage scaremongering
I really haven't seen anything above 40% usage, will be moving to 64bit next week so hoping that stays the same.


Giant Shrimp Spotted Off Georgia Coast
I was hoping for a little bit more 'giant' when I clicked the link, but still pretty interesting. The article didn't say they were invasive species (it mentioned that was undetermined). Wonder if it causes more headaches for the shrimpers on the coast though to sort.
