Ah, so that’s how “Red Bull gives you wings.”

“Light Travels Backward and Faster than Light”
Yes, you read that right. And if you think that’s weird, you’re in good company — even the guys that did it can’t explain it yet. Though apparently Einstein’s dignity is preserved: What about Einstein, who said nothing can exceed light-speed? “Einstein said information can’t travel faster than light, and in this case, as with [...]
“Volume and diversity: the future’s bright for news online”
Another interesting trend to watch.
“Danger Mouse’s EMI-killed CD will be released as a blank CD-R, just add download”
Fascinating artistic response to a legal spat. It’ll be interesting seeing how it plays out, too.
“Anti-Terrorist Fantasy Dream Team on the Case”
Much hilarity: Seeking to quell fears of terrorists somehow breaking out of America’s top-security prisons and wreaking havoc on the defenseless heartland, President Barack Obama moved quickly to announce an Anti-Terrorist Strike Force headed by veteran counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer and mutant superhero Wolverine.

This article made me wonder… could there be an as-yet-undiscovered species that does something similar with human morals? There’s certainly a lot of evidence of one; its victims seem to congregate in investment banking, certain kinds of lawyers’ offices, and at the top floors of the head offices of multinational corporations.
“Obama Makes New Credit Card Rules Official”
Nice! I don’t understand how it got past the credit card companies’ lobbyists though. Unless even they can’t convince politicians to look the other way anymore…
Know Thyself: Self-Discipline
This is the second follow-up to my previous entry on self-knowledge and motivation. In the last article I talked about habit, and how I was able to establish some useful habits that let me overcome my urge to sleep all the time. Near the end, I noted that I wasn’t able to establish a habit [...]
