I love you ABC/ESPN; your production values, the way you get college football, but 20 more minutes to kickoff? Are you kidding me?

Kamamiya, Mahdi Ebrahimi and Kevin L liked this
"Seasonal floods transform the large, dry surfaces of the world's largest salt flat into one of the biggest mirrors on Earth. Salar de Uyuni, near the crest of the Andes in Bolivia, is made up of the remains of dried-up prehistoric lakes. The unusually flat and reflective salt crust gives visitors the illusion they are walking on clouds. The salt from the flats is harvested by the Colchani cooperative, which shares the profits after collecting, processing and marketing the salt. These salt hills are the first part of the process: the miners scrape the salt into small mounds for water evaporation and easier transport, then dry it over fires and enrich it with iodine."

WorldofHiglet, Alex Scrivener and Mahdi Ebrahimi liked this
"In the sweet and slight and often charming coming-of-age tale “Youth in Revolt,” Michael Cera plays a teenager with rampaging hormones and, when the film opens at least, no obvious romantic prospects. On the face of it, this seems preposterous: Mr. Cera, who turns 22 in June, is a professional cutie-pie and very appealing to both the on screen characters (he usually gets the girl) and, to gauge from his popularity, the audience. After the movie I ran into a friend who was initially worried about this film because Mr. Cera always does the same thing, only to realize that what he does is exceptionally winning. Exactly. “Youth in Revolt,” which was directed by Miguel Arteta, and skillfully extracted by Gustin Nash from the novel by C. D. Payne, centers on a familiar type: the frustrated virgin. (Is there any other kind beyond the convent?) The agonies of virginity have inspired myriad novels and films, if not always with as much humor as in Mr. Payne’s telling. Another novelist, Glen...

"The charred remains of an aspiring Playboy model have been discovered in a Miami rubbish bin. Paula Sladewski, 26, was so badly burned that police had to use dental records to identify her. The LA-based model had been holidaying in the city over New Year period with her boyfriend, Kevin Klym. She was last seen at about 7am on Sunday at the city's Club Space, hours after rowing with 34-year-old Klym. The couple had attended a Lady Gaga concert on New Year's Eve, before spending the weekend visiting nightclubs and bars. They were seen arguing at Space in the early hours of Sunday morning. Klym was eventually thrown out of the club. His girlfriend was allowed to stay on even though he claimed she was 'too drunk'. He returned to their Miami Beach hotel, and told police it was the last time he saw Miss Sladewski. Klym filed a missing person report the same day. A few hours later a member of the public reported a bin on fire in a back street in North Miami and the Playboy model's remains...

Typically dental records aren't used to identify bodies, they're used to confirm them. If the police don't know where to look for the records then they must have a clue before they can compare them.

The levy on advertising revenue is the latest plank in France's drive to regulate the internet, which has seen it enact some of the world's toughest antipiracy legislation. Besides Google, the tax would target other large operators in Europe such as Microsoft and Yahoo! whether or not their offices are in France. Google's European headquarters are in Ireland, but under the proposal, the operator would pay a levy every time a French internet user clicks on an advertising banner or sponsored link on its sites.

Where's My Goddamn Gotham Central TV Show? - Batman - io9 - http://io9.com/5442733...
Haggis (Sean Loyless) and Steven Perez liked this
"Why isn't one of the smartest, grittiest comics in the DC library — one that's a police procedural set in Batman's hometown — already on the air? There are four kinds of dramas that get on the air these days. Doctor shows, lawyer shows, cop shows, and everything else. (Mind you, the "everything else" category is both wide and narrow at the same time. Wide in that it encompasses everything from Burn Notice to True Blood to Leverage to Stargate Universe and narrow in that only a relative few of those get picked up.) Why? Because people are stupid and, by and large, they will only watch what they can recognize immediately. So, given that — and the fact that The Dark Knight is the third highest grossing movie in the history of ever — can you explain to my why a police procedural (which audiences love) in Gotham City (again, which audience love) isn't already on HBO or The CW or any other friggin' network?"
- RAPatton
from Bookmarklet
"Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Then someone explain why I'm not already watching it. Birds of Prey was a long time ago, so that show's lingering stench can't be the excuse. Gotham Central would be no more expensive than any other cop procedural — except you've gotta put a big floodlight on the roof. You do this one right, and it's a home run. So why isn't anyone stepping up to the plate?"

It'd be tough. In the comics world, there are tons of Batman comics out there already, so you can pull off a side-character focused title.

Heroic animals more common than thought, say scientists - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science...
rowlikeagirl and Michael W. May liked this
"Creatures including dolphins, monkeys, fruit bats and even ants are all capable of selflessly coming to the rescue of others, researchers found. Dr Elise Nowbahari, from the University of Paris, said there is mounting evidence that willingness to go to the aid of others at personal risk is common in a range of species and far from a solely human trait. Dolphins endanger themselves to rescue trapped dolphins, lifting an injured dolphin to the water's surface to help it breathe, she said. Monkeys will drive away an attacker from a vulnerable female or infants and female fruit bats help other fruit bats in labour to ease the birth. She also said that ants frequently help other ants from the same colony if they are caught in traps or by a predator – though their heroism does not extend to helping ants from other colonies whose actual cries for help are ignored. One of the biggest internet hits is a film of buffalo fighting off lions that had attacked one of their young in the Kruger National Park in South Africa."

Apple Patent Application Could Presage Thinner Devices - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010...
ashish liked this
"An Apple patent application surfaced on Thursday that points to a new type of multitouch screen technology. The application, which was unearthed by Patently Apple, describes a way of integrating a touch-sensitive panel into a display, rather than layering it on top, potentially allowing for thinner and less expensive touch screens. The application comes from a group run by Steve Hotelling, senior manager for touch hardware at Apple. In an interview, a former Apple engineer who worked in Mr. Hotelling’s group explained why this approach was different from the current Apple technology that is built into the iPhone. “Traditionally when you make a touch-screen display you place the touch-screen elements on top of an LCD screen,” he said. “This patent tries to integrate the two.”"

Instead you just create one unit.” This could also reduce costs significantly, but the engineer cautioned: “This is not something Apple...

"The first footage of an incredibly rare female tiger and her cubs have been captured by a camera trap deep in the Sumatran jungle, say researchers. The big cat family triggered the infrared video camera after the curious hunters stopped to sniff and check out the trap. The team from WWF-Indonesia have spent five years studying tigers using camera traps on known tiger routes through a forested 'wildlife corridor' in central Sumatra. However, this is the first time a tigress and her cubs have been spotted. The researchers say the footage gives them a unique insight into the elusive tigers' behaviour and also helps them to identify individual animals. There are as few as 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild and they are under relentless pressure from poaching and clearing of their habitat."

"With perfect precision and poise, this is a heavyweight dance line-up that would impress Arlene Phillips. But there's a serious purpose to the act, as this band of pregnant elephants are exercising as part of their zoo's ante-natal classes. The mums-to-be have to do a daily workout as well as being walked by their keepers three to five miles each day to stay in trim. The routine is so popular that two baby elephants, Tarak and Shanti on the furthest right, have joined in the fun as well. The elephants are expected to give birth between April and November this year at their zoo in Hanover, Germany. Meanwhile in Australia, Dr Thomas Hildebrant was flown in from Berlin to oversee the final days of Asian elephant Dokkoon's pregnancy. "

Obviously, there’s some legal shit to sort out but anyone who thinks Superman is gone is just plum crazy. Should we pursue this aggressively, especially given the buzz on Kick-Ass is just astronomical and Matthew is being offered pretty much anything he wants to do? We had so much fun casting around on all this, just idle chats in the pub as we scribbled our notes. Imagine Daniel Craig as Lex Luthor, Clint Eastwood as Pa Kent, Daniel Day-Lewis and Julianne Moore as Jor-El and Lara. And the idea one of our production team had for Jimmy Olsen is just GENIUS!

"Weirdness: Author Stephen King and musician John Mellencamp are working together on a musical theater collaboration titled Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, set to debut in Atlanta this September. Sound bizarre? Not as much as you'd think--King, a surprisingly music-savvy dude, actually runs his own group of radio stations out of Bangor, Maine, including an adult alternative rock station. As for Mellencamp--well, duh. Here's the exciting part: new additions to the long-discussed project are music heavyweights Elvis Costello and Neko Case, enriching an already intriguing (and star-studded) vocal cast including Kris Kristofferson, Roseanne Cash, singer-songwriter Will Dailey, the Blasters' Dave and Phil Alvin and Sheryl Crow. (Costello is cast as a satanic figure called "The Shape," and Case will play a chick named Anna. Note: they will not appear in the stage production, but will be featured on the soundtrack.)"

"But that's not all. Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will be accompanied by a three-disc soundtrack, including an entire spoken-word script with songs performed by the cast. Slated for production by T-Bone Burnett (the master producer behind the Allison Krauss and Robert Plant album, Raising Sand), the soundtrack will sound like an "old radio program from the 1930s," according to Mellencamp. Whatever it is, it sounds pretty sweet to us."

World's Most Useless Machine Does Nothing but Creep You Out - http://www.switched.com/2010... - http://www.youtube.com/watch...

"Drawing his inspiration from Claude Shannon's 'Ultimate Machine' of the '50s, SaskView built a wooden box which houses a disembodied hand. Once the machine is turned on, the lonely hermit hand performs only one menial switch-flipping task: immediately turning itself off again (video after the break). The incredibly creepy and reclusive action does resonate, though, because, in the words of Arthur C. Clarke, "there is something unspeakably sinister about a machine that does nothing -- absolutely nothing -- except turn itself off." Well, unless that nefarious machine actually steals your hard-earned money first."

Nexus Name Irks Author's Estate - http://online.wsj.com/article...

"As Google Inc. launches its Nexus One phone, one call that the company hasn't made is to the family members of science-fiction author Philip K. Dick, who complain the device's name infringes on one of Mr. Dick's most famous novels. "We feel this is a clear infringement of our intellectual-property rights," said Isa Dick Hackett, a daughter of Mr. Dick and the chief executive of Electric Shepherd Productions, an arm of the Dick estate devoted to adapting the late author's works. "Our legal team is dealing head-on with this," she said Tuesday. An attorney for the estate declined to elaborate on what legal steps it has taken. Mr. Dick's 1968 novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," which served as the basis for the 1982 cult film "Blade Runner," follows a bounty hunter chasing androids known as Nexus-6 models. Ms. Hackett believes Google referenced that work in coming up with the name for its new phone, but the company never called her family or attorneys for permission to license...

""Some words are never used for anything except in connection with a particular trademark, like Hershey's," Ms. Goldman said. That may explain why Verizon Wireless licensed the 'Droid' name from "Star Wars" creator and director George Lucas when it recently launched a Motorola Inc. smart phone with that name. "We were honored that Verizon chose to name their newest technological venture...

Of course. The DROID name is quite popular as evidenced by all the "This is not the Droid you are looking for" jokes about the Droid. I'm not a Philip K. Dick fan, so i never picked up on this, but google does have a major problem unless it licenses the name. This is typical of google's attitude regarding legal issues: shoot first and ask questions later. Google's scanning of copyrighted works is another example of this. I'm sure google could have come up with another, equally cool name if it wanted too.

Embarrassing Misspelling Spotted During Fiesta Bowl Broadcast - http://www.asylum.com/2010...

"For the second time in four years, an undefeated Boise State team used a daring trick play to close out the college football season with a victory in a BCS bowl And, for the second time in four years, the team which plays their home games on the blue turf still has absolutely no chance of winning a national championship. This lack of respect for the plucky Broncos seems to extend to Fox, which broadcasts the BCS games. Judging from this screenshot from last night's action, the network clearly sent their more competent production team to cover tonight's snooze-fest of an Orange Bowl between Georgia Tech and Iowa. Can you spot the typo?"
