It's that time of year again, that's right the time of year where I annoy my cat by dressing her up for Halloween. Her nickname is Toothless because she reminds us so much of the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon. Indy is not as amused as I am!!!

Catching a viral video - http://research.google.com/pubs...

"The sharing and re-sharing of videos on social sites, blogs e-mail, and other means has given rise to the phenomenon of viral videos—videos that become popular through internet sharing. In this paper we seek to better understand viral videos on YouTube by analyzing sharing and its relationship to video popularity using millions of YouTube videos. The socialness of a video is quantified by classifying the referrer sources for video views as social (e.g. an emailed link, Facebook referral) or non-social (e.g. a link from related videos). We find that viewership patterns of highly social videos are very different from less social videos."

"We also find that not all highly social videos become popular, and not all popular videos are highly social. By using our insights on viral videos we are able develop a method for ranking blogs and websites on their ability to spread viral videos."

Before you can program your mind you need to deprogram it, and the best way to deprogram it is to get to the bottom of and master intellectual history -- the invented and artificial but influential ideological tape loops that control collective human behavior among all cultures, and about which most people are entirely unconscious. Fully conscious people create and control cultural and ideological systems and loops, they are not controlled by them.

The “X-Men: First Class” sequel won’t bow until July 2014, but speculating about it is bound to be easier now that producer Bryan Singer has shared the flick’s title with fans. The James McAvoy- and Michael Fassbender-starrer will be called “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” The title comes from the ‘80s comic of the same name and is set in a dystopian future (which should be familiar to “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Mystique in the franchise.) “There will be elements that will be similar to the original ‘Days of Future Past,’ but there will also be some original elements,” Singer told CNN. “I can't really say more about it. I will only say that it's a very ambitious project and it definitely widens out the X-Men universe.” Singer confirmed that Matthew Vaughn will return to the director’s chair, but there’s still no word if anyone from “The Last Stand” will show up in the film.

"For most startups at this stage, the best predictor of success is the founders. So, the most important parts of the application for me are the questions about the founders' backgrounds and the most impressive things they've done. We're looking for evidence that the founders are smart, effective, and determined. If you can't go through your application and point to evidence for all three, that's bad. Don't be shy about telling us why you're good, but don't write a bunch of meaningless marketing speak either. I view the questions about the business largely as an intelligence test, but I'm always excited to read about a great idea. There should be no obvious holes in your plan--i.e., if you're taking on a huge competitor, have no apparent monetization plan, etc., you need to address it. It's very rare that I read about a brand new idea (and it's likely the startup will change or refine ideas), so I'm looking for deep insights I haven't heard heard or thought of before."

"Most of us probably wouldn’t be quite who we are today without Harrison Ford. He taught us how to flirt, grin, beat up the bad guys, and generally be cool. We think he’s still the best and we’re raising our glasses to him today. It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage"

You think one of these bad boys will work in a CPAP machine to auto-copy data to a server over wifi?
- Josh Haley
Hey Josh, so though it looks like an SD card it's not a data storage device with wifi (like the Eye-Fi). It's actually a computer and wifi in a card, and will only work with devices specifically intended for use with it. So short answer is no, it won't work in existing SD-card slots on CPAP machines, but future CPAP machines would be a lot better if they used Imps for realtime monitoring from distant locations instead of SD cards for post-sleep analytics.
