"It seems unlikely that studies of the brain will ever be able to wholly explain how we respond to art." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"NeuroSpire, with Jake Stauch at the helm, has developed software that lets companies scan brains to deliver better ads--and do it on the cheap." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"If my thought dreams could be seen, ..." - Greg GuitarBuster

"The ambitious and controversial Brain Activity Map (BAM), initiative instituted by a small group of researchers last year, has been steadily gaining momentum. Earlier this week, a proof-of-principle Zebrafish BAM was demonstrated with astounding clarity by a pair of researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"It’s been two years since an IBM computer named Watson humbled humankind, or at least the part of it that takes quiz shows seriously, by beating two carbon-based Jeopardy champions at their own game. Now a prominent investment analyst suggests that episodes like this are something we’d better get used to" - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"The novelty of Mastermind—a book that barely rises above its origins as blog posts—is in introducing these same ideas through the language and allegory of Conan Doyle's stories. Fast, impulsive thinking becomes the “Watson system”; slower, rational thinking the “Holmes system”; and the human mind is dubbed the “brain attic,” a phrase coined by Holmes. These devices might tickle the Holmes fan but can be frustrating for a reader more interested in the science behind the extended metaphors." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"A single-serving pop-up site, Let Me Tweet That For You, made the rounds on Friday morning, allowing users to create fake tweets that look like they’ve been sent from other Twitter users’ handles. Pretty straightforward: Visit the site’s front door and type in the handle of the person’s account you want to create the fake tweet under. The site looks the person up, pulls their profile avatar and adds it to the fake tweet. Then you enter whatever message you want, and the fake tweet extension is created. From there, you’re able to tweet out a link that directs others to the fake tweet in question. (See my example above.)" - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

Ah...the possibilities... - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

Things I've already figured out for myself, but glad to see validation - MiniMage

They didn't mention the one solution I like best: creating one or more custom lists and putting just people you really want to keep up with in those. You never even have to look at your home feed then, and don't seem to get the algorithmic and other nonsense of the home feed. - Tinfoil 2.0

"A developer tweets her objection to jokes told at a conference, leading to the dismissal of one of the men -- and herself as well." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet

"Despite hardball lobbying and vast piles of money shoved toward members of Congress, it's proving to be extremely difficult to pass legislation that is opposed by advocates of privacy and Internet freedom. This was proved last year with the defeats of anti-piracy measures SOPA and PIPA, and the same might be true again with weakening support for CISPA -- the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act." - Racism Occupied from Bookmarklet
