Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy - Vincent Bugliosi - Books - New York Times
9 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Mr. Bugliosi asked for a show of hands of how many people did not accept the findings of the Warren Commission, which had investigated the assassination and concluded that Oswald was the killer. Close to 90 percent of the 600 lawyers raised their hands, he recalled. Then he asked how many had seen “J.F.K.” or read an account that argued in favor of a conspiracy; a similar number raised their hands. Finally, he asked how many had read the Warren Commission report. Only a smattering of hands went up." - Ranjit Mathoda via Bookmarklet

My macbook pro goes for a 10 day fix 4 hours after the iPhone hits the shops... and I go on holiday: I've gotta get up v.v. early, Q..., get it, synch it and go! - Tom Beardshaw
i have question. i going to go australia and i want know that can i buy iphone there because iphone doesnt realese in my country - DSaad69
@DSaad69 There seem to be 3 iPhone 3G distributors in AUS: Telestra, Optus and Vodaphone. I think Telestra is the only carrier that requires a 24 month contract to purchase the phone. It also appears the carriers are providing the phone at low or no cost if you commit to a monthly plan. - Paul Reynolds
I broke my iPhone last week and have been REALLY missing having one. I live near the Soho Apple Store so I figure I'll go around 6am and get in line. If I get one cool, if not, I'll find a way to deal if I don't. Or maybe just jump in front of an oncoming bus. - Steve Isaacs
The $64K question is: Will they stock enough this time? - Kirk Skodis
Considering Apple ordered 50 million chips from Samsung, I think they'll be covered. Too bad for all the other iPhone wannabe's. http://www.engadget.com/2008/0... - {Mf}

Comet Between Fireworks and Lightning
Saturday at 11:21 am - via Reshare - Link
This will be a photograph in the top 10 of many future lists. - Andrew Baron
Explanation: "In January 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught has now returned to the outer Solar System and is now only visible with a large telescope. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework." - Andrew Baron

Absolutely incredible shot! Then again some of the best shots on the web come from NASA, National Geographic, Discovery and, of course, Hawk :) - Charlie Anzman
Not to be too cynical but that shot seems to good to be true -- I wonder if there is more processing going on than the text seems to admit. - Brian Sullivan
I'm enamored with that lightning. - Jason Toney
ahhh good one - Dobromir Hadzhiev
I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction - Duncan Riley
I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is - Duncan Riley
Now the wallpaper on my iMac - Adam Helweh
Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :) - Penny
wow, just wow - Mark Douglass
Amazing shot! - Timo Heuer

Couldn't belive NBC had today's matches on time delay; lost all interest and stopped watching. - Snay Trivedi
NBC = FAIL for not showing those matches live - Mike Doeff
i bet david stern had something to do with this - Cee Bee

Wimbledon is a wild ride this year! They earned their spot, so don't take that away from them. Anyone know how they did in their doubles match? - Otto R. Radke
They're in the ladies' doubles semis... Play around 8 a.m. Eastern tomorrow.... Also, it's looking like a Federer/Nadal men's final that everyone was expecting anyway... - Chris Reed
My call: Serena in 3. She's won 2, Venus 4, and I've heard hints from her about not liking that particular stat, even though she's won 8 grand slams overall to Venus' 6. It's going to come down to who wants it more despite making the other sister lose. - Dean Terry
it's not like there haven't been all-Williams finals before! - Samuel Bostock
Looking forward to seeing some of this one. Most of their past Grand Slam finals matchups haven't exactly been beautiful tennis. Let's hope we do see that tomorrow. - Bryan Person
they keep on writing them off, they keep on silencing the doubters - john conroy
All that strength, power, and beauty in one final, and I have to work on Saturday morning. *curses* - Cecily Walker
@Bryan Person: I'm not sure I would call a Williams final "beautiful" tennis; powerful surely, but there is nothing beautiful about Serena's game...Venus is graceful at times...but hardly beautiful. - Snay Trivedi
too bad they didn't also have two brothers. - Ranjit Mathoda
If they did, only Williams would win tennis events.. Wimbledon would be renamed Williamsdon. - Chris Reed
Yeah ... Venus has some grace, Serena's game is ugly. Poetry shall be observed tomorrow morning, when Federer takes the court - Deepak

"Prototype contact lenses that include LEDs and circuits could become a tiny personal display. Babak Parviz wears contact lenses. But he's not yet using the new contact lenses he's made in his Seattle laboratory. Containing electronic circuits, they look like something from a science fiction movie. He's now going to add some extremely small light emitting diodes (LEDs), helping turn his prototype contact lenses into a sophisticated personal display - the tiniest one possible." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
that can't be good for one's health. fascinating though - Cee Bee
How would it be bad for your health Cee Bee? Maybe it might screw with your vision some, but what else would it affect? - Tad Donaghe via fftogo
It would be the a great heads up display, but I don't know if you would be able to track eye movement to select things on the display. The gyroscopes on the lens would have to be almost nano. - RAPatton
i'm not sure but placing some electronic object of that sort directly over one's retina may have its side effects. then again, i've been on this laptop for the past 6 hours and my balls are frying - Cee Bee

Very interesting. Gartner predicts that human augmentation will evolve over the next 10 years to the point where it will be feasible to enhance the performance or sensory abilities of healthy individuals. In other words, medical techniques such as sensory transference, direct brain interfaces, and nerve mapping will be used not just to restore physical deficiencies, but to enhance healthy people beyond “normal”. - Alan Cheslow
Whoa... cool. But really, heads up display, blah blah blah... i want my eyes to glow in the dark. Then I'll really be able to fight crime with my intimidating stare! - felix
I tried an earlier version of this kind of thing during a visit to a lab at the UW in Seattle. My eyes ached in a really strange way afterwards; I mean acute pain. I don't like the display as prosthetic, because of this experience. - terra210

Next step would be flashing contacts like those aftermarket lights underneath cars. - Earl E Morningwood via fftogo
Should give these away with Kraftwerk's-Man Machine Music. Way cool-I want some. - Mark Forman
You know those "spinner" hubs/tires that some folks have on their car wheels? How about "spinner" contacts? Hopefully invisible from the user's point of view, but folks looking at you see spinning in your eyes. based on this article, you could even attach little outward-facing LED lights to the spinners... - Bruce Williams
Just add a tiny wireless receiver, and you'll get special promotions of chips and nylon socks flashed on you contact lenses when you walk past Walmart. - Dewald Pretorius

Ultimate Ridiculousness: Louis Vuitton Trash Bags
July 3 at 12:43 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
:O - edythe
and all that wasted money could feed people who've never eaten a filling meal.. I hate seeing ridiculous shit like this - Julian Baldwin
Now put all that Louis Vuitton over priced crap IN the trash and we have a winning idea. - Steve Isaacs
How lame. - Corie Allison
I, for one, think these are quite fashionable, much like having a chihuahua in a Gucci purse - Dan Kaplan
I'm still not comprehending this... that's literally throwing your money away. - Lindsay Donaghe
people who place their own waste on a pedestal are people I don't trust - Julian Baldwin
Unbelieveable, waste not want not! - Joe Dawson
Cool! Environmentally, if made well, these bags impact the environment almost the same as regular bags (There's the ink issue. Are they using soy-based inks?). Money, well, that's not real, just an accounting fiction. My question would be "Do you want your money to go to Louis Vuitton employees/management/investors/suppliers"? - Mitchell Tsai
This actually makes a twisted sort of sense. A few years back, my town's mayor decided that we'd be switching from our old throw-your-bags-at-the-curb system of trash pickup to standardized Big Green Receptacles. His stated reason? Because those bags made our streets look ugly on garbage days. Now just extend that logic to the bags themselves. - Roger Benningfield
Are they trying to pull a Burberry? - Thomas Brox Røst
those are actually available on canal street in nyc already - Cee Bee
I'm a designer and I'm all for things looking nicer but unless these bags are sold for the same price as regular trash bags I've lost respect for Pooey Vuitton. - Michael Narciso
CeeBee-that figures-what isn't? Missing my Canal St shopping days. - Mark Forman
I don't even buy trash bags. Grocery bags from the supermarket are plentiful and usually just the right size for a day's worth of garbage. - Morton Fox

pretty horrible - Stefan Hayden
This has to be the funniest thing on FriendFeed today. - possible248
Tacky. Everyone know Versace garbage bags are what's in this year. - Chris Baskind
Beating a dead horse here, but... the only thing those bags are good for is to fill them full of Louis Vuitton crap and throw it all away. Neither I nor my wife find that nasty design good for anything else. So, next time someone asks, just say "Didn't you know, it's for packing your ugly LV bag and disposing of it safely." Sort of like poop bags for doggie walks. *The* thing to carry poop in. - Raoul Pop
It's the poor man's LV luggage. - Anne Bouey
Oh. My. God!! :O More money than sense.... - Emma

If history is any guide, Disney's copyrights will never expire. - Kevin Fox

Since Disney owns Wall•E and Wall•E is violating Disney's copyrights (which never expire as Kevin points out), I'm hoping Disney would end up in some sort of lawsuit infinite loop and implode, leaving Pixar to make good movies. - Scott Johnston
As long as Pixar continues to produce hits, Disney will leave Pixar alone. Even better, Pixar's influence will be felt stronger in Burbank and animation will improve there too.

In other news, Fox claimed they would be more than willing to give Obama credit if his name had one less 'a' in it, noting that "nearly every letter in Obama's name comes from the name 'Colombia'. If not for the extra 'a' it would be clear that he played a pivotal role in Betancourt's rescue. So close." - Kevin Fox

Great list... are you not an Amazon Affiliate? If I pick any of these up I'd want you to get a commission for recommending them! - David Knight
I am but I figure I'd leave the link off. I'd be really happy just to get your suggestions on all of these. - Steve Spalding
Awesome. I would suggest more books by Frank Herbert, he was an absolute genious. Especially – since it is almost no longer sci-fi – I would suggest "The white plague". And also the last books in the Dune saga (by Brain Herbert and Kevin J Anderson) are nice, but not necessary. - dekay
I'd recommend Samuel R. Delany - "Dhalgren", "Babel 17", or "Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand" are three of my favourites. - Bob Kingsley
One I'd recommend is "The Mote in Gods Eye" by Niven and Pournelle - about the best book on first contact I've ever read. - Colin Walker
Colin - but stay away from "Footfall" that book stank. - J. Phil
I would recommend "Blood Music" by Greg Bear, and "The 5th Column" by Robert Heinlein. And how about some Larry Niven love.. ah you have ringworld. Yes, good choice. - J. Phil
Agree with Colin on "The Mote In God's Eye" - I'd forgotten about that one! I recall now that it was, indeed, a terrific read. - Bob Kingsley via twhirl
Most of the books on the list cant find it on my mother tongue - George The Writer
Yea I put in Ringworld. Thanks for all the suggestions folks. You've given me a ton of new books to read. - Steve Spalding
It's amazing the way that most probably know the majority of these stories by watching the films but NOT by reading the book. Occasionally a film will do the book justice (Animal Farm was a great adaptation and had a huge effect on me as a kid watching it at school) but not often. - Colin Walker via fftogo
One other book that I've always liked: "Wave without a shore" by C.J. Cherryh - an interesting look at perception and willpower and how they shape our "reality". - Colin Walker via fftogo
Yeah, you should really check out Jeff Noon, he's buzzing :) - HollowMarkeD
