WatchMichael Shermer: Why people believe strange things
Advertising in Google Maps?
I was playing with Google’s new street view and thought of something interesting. There’s two things that led to this thought, the first being that when zooming down a street, you quickly realize that, because it’s a van actually driving down the road taking the pictures, the same cars are often in the view for quite a while. The second thing I noticed was the following scene...

I’m sure most of you heard about how a false article regarding an iPhone and Jaguar delay over at Engadget last week caused a big dip (which quickly rebounded) in Apple’s stock. What I don’t get is people who are bashing Ryan Block for posting the story. I’m not exactly following the fallout too closely, but I really think poeple like John Gruber (who wrote the above...

Hidden chemical compund in Assassin's Creed...
(Click for full-size) Anyone else notice that at the end of the new Assassin’s Creed trailer (which looks great by the way) they twice flash the above chemical compound while the title is up on screen? Anyone have any idea what the compound is? Update: The best explaination I’ve heard so far was from Neil on Xbox 360 Fanboy: While I can’t determine the exact structure, my best...

Coding Horror: Upgrade Your Pentium 4 →
Wow: “The fastest possible Pentium 4 is nearly 50 percent slower at compilation than a midrange Athlon 64 or Core 2 Duo CPU.” I had no idea the difference was that big. The P4EE and Pentium D series really sucked. (Re-blogged from Marco) Pentium D is what they give us at work. :( At least I’m not doing anything too computationaly intensive most of the time.

Five sentence review of "The Science of Sleep"
In many ways this film was like Brazil in that it was at its core a love story and focused on the imagination, or more specifically in this case, dreams. The real star of this movie are the dream sequences with their wonderfully low-fi animations and light, hearted feel. Unfortunately, although beautifully done, it lacks a consistent style as in Brazil and while I believe this is meant to...
