That sounds really cool (my wife is a 6th-grade math teacher). Do they have an OS X version? All the school districts around here are Mac-only. - Glen Campbell

Akiva, have you ever used Pearson Mathlabs? I noticed this goes into Algebra but probably not algebra 2. I'm surprised MS is stopping at this point without doing anything that competes with Pearson Stat/Mathlabs. It's incredibly intuitive for learning software http://coursecompass.com/html... I'm able to do complex algebra problems and graphing problems with it as well as... more... - Melanie Reed

It isn't the same idea; it has more in common with Avatar than the Matrix, although Avatar sells the virtual experience as real and humanizing (of aliens) whereas Surrogates is about the experience being dehumanizing - RAPatton

I have to say the subway ads for "Surrogates" are very powerful. Bold, with beautiful bodies that are part slinky. (am probably dating myself by mentioning that toy. :-) ) - Karma Martell

"Jerry Robinson, an essential figure in the early history of Batman and the American comic book, has many of his vintage ink treasures on display right now at the Skirball Cultural Center, among them his original 1940 sketch of the Joker, the cackling clown who today rivals Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter in popcorn-movie villainy. But, in Robinson’s long and wandering career as an illustrator, this new, sleek installation is hardly the most important art show — that distinction belongs to a one-man exhibit he staged 70 years ago on a tennis court in the Catskills. Robinson was fresh from high school graduation in Trenton, N.J., and saving his nickels for college, but his mother was worried about his health; he had been peddling (and pedaling) for weeks as a bicycle ice-cream salesman, and the wiry teen was under 90 pounds. At her insistence, he splurged on a visit to a leafy resort and arrived on its tennis court wearing a white painter’s jacket that he had decorated with his cartoons, the same sort that had made him a popular contributor to his school paper." - RAPatton

Going to see this exhibit on Saturday! - Derrick

"Hot milk cake is an easy, old-fashioned dessert that has simple, modern appeal. The moist, delicate cake gets its name from the hot milk that is added to the batter just before baking. In this recipe, the individual cakes are split, then topped with berries and whipped cream." - RAPatton

mmm.. that looks yummy :o) - David Gross from email

I think in between all these shots, you could easily show it using an iPhone. - Paul Arterburn

"With his camera slung over his fatigues and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Robert Capa defined the image of the war photographer in the 1930s. Ever since, conflict photography has been seen, essentially, as a man's job. The stories of women war photographers have been largely sidelined - among them Gerda Taro, Capa's girlfriend and colleague on the Spanish civil war frontline. Her work, recently rediscovered, went on show with Capa's at the Barbican in London last month. And there was Lee Miller, of course, but she was also blonde and beautiful, and much photographed herself. Today, far more women work in war zones, shooting conflicts and their consequences. But if the situation is changing, it is changing slowly. Susan Meiselas - the US photographer renowned for her images of Nicaragua's 1970s civil war, which have just been republished in a new book - is still one of only seven women at the Magnum photo agency, out of a total of 79 international photographers." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

I like the fact that there are now female war photographers who are able to show a side of war that remained hidden until now. - Shevonne

wow... - Michael W. May

Awesome. Audrey Hepburn was an amazing actress and very beautiful. ::) - Jason Shultz from twhirl

USA Today has confirmed that Bruce Wayne will be hanging up the cowl in Grant Morrison's Batman #681, due next week. - (jeff)isageek from Bookmarklet

Cover broken. Jor-El will not be happy. The disinformation campaign was that it was in the Arctic. Oh well. - Todd Hoff

"Newspapers, which are already bracing themselves for falling advertising sales as the global economy turns down, face more bad news next year as newsprint producers try to push through steep price increases. European newsprint producers led by Norske Skog, the world’s second-largest, are currently negotiating with customers to increase prices by up to 20 per cent. ... All of Europe’s big newsprint producers are currently lossmaking as demand continues to fall because of the switchover to internet publication, while wood, energy and transport costs have risen significantly." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

Meh. I want to see one decorated with the angry, moustached cross-dresser minifigs. :) - Cyndy

I use an eee pc 1000h -- it's great, recommend it highly - Dave Winer

Since 95% of the components are the same in netbooks, I'd look at the 5% differences. Some will meet your requirements, while some won't. Example: need a full-sized, correctly place Right-Shift key? Some have 'em and some don't. Do you have any special requirements for your computing needs? - Kevin C. Tofel

Smart - will be interesting to see what kind of reach this will give him. - Cass

Simon Pegg and star wars fan fic. Classic! - Cass

"What you about to see are collection of fine Star Wars series of photography which you haven’t seen before from any of the Star Wars movies. A French award winner in the newcomer’s France Bourse du Talent competition (an award for young and talented photographers), Cedric Delsaux has made a stunning superimposed photo of Star Wars. He combines a number of Star Wars figurine as a subject on his photo with a cool background of Paris streets capes and architecture building in order to create a nice Urban Star Wars series." - RAPatton

Excellent!! I've seen a few of these but not all of them. - Kol Tregaskes

Baris, I've posted some ideas in the ffholic FF room - Bwana ☠

"It's as close to the lion lying down with the lamb as you are likely to see - exceot the lamb is a full-grown sheep and its snoozing partner is a baby elephant.The unlikely bond between Themba the elephant and Albert the sheep has taken nature reserve wardens by surprise. The six-month-old elephant was orphaned after his mother died in a fall down a cliff." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Marvel is making good on its promise to release The First Avenger: Captain America on May 6, 2011. The studio just signed director Joe Johnston (Hidalgo) to helm the project. Johnston, the director of Universal's 2009 film The Wolfman, will be charged with transforming Steve Rogers from an unfit military man into a super-powered crime fighter." - James Ferguson from Bookmarklet

The Rocketeer was indeed a great movie. Yay! :-) - Ladybug Heather

Daniel, did you see Patrick's YouTube about FriendFeed with the Cheers theme song? Love seeing so much love for FF in everyone's feeds =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Sounds cool Tina I will have to watch it. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Sarah wouldn't take her eyes off my iTunes, so I gave her a front row seat. Clubber in the making? - Louis Gray

I agree that five minutes is about the longest I would let kids under two watch something like that. Their brains need to learn to develop depth perception and flat screens don't help that. I can't remember where I was reading that years ago native americans who had grown up mostly outdoors had incredible depth perception such that they could look at landscape features very far away and know how large and deep rocks and mountain faces, etc. were, whereas if we looked at that today we have no clue. - Laura Norvig

YES - Pete Delucchi

Dude, my nephews would love that. Actually, they probably already have that. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

The Republican Party has a Cold War mentality that praises Reagan at every opportunity. Their demographic consists of older, more rural Americans. Younger Americans tend to be more progressive and use the Internet as an integral part of their lives which favors the Democrats. Republicans have a big challenge to remake themselves as a Party of the future with the Internet as a catalyst... more... - Derek Forrest

"Their demographic consists of older, more rural Americans." -- really? Well thank God we tend to breed more. - Craig Eddy
