Study finds that people who multitask a lot are actually worse at it than those who do it less - http://news.stanford.edu/news...
Didier Girard, Space Cowboy, David Lounsbury and 20 other people liked this
"To our absolute shock, we found that in any of the categories of activities that we thought their brain would be better at, that would enable them to manage multiple streams of information at one time, they're actually worse at all of them. So it's a great mystery what's going on. All we can say now is that multitaskers are lousy at multitasking." -- Prof. Clifford Nass (in the story's embedded video)
- Tom Stocky
from Bookmarklet
"The researchers are still studying whether chronic media multitaskers are born with an inability to concentrate or are damaging their cognitive control by willingly taking in so much at once. But they're convinced the minds of multitaskers are not working as well as they could."
- Tom Stocky
I wonder how many people watched the video at the top of this article while they read the article.
- Michael Leggett
Michael, LOL. But this can't be new finding, can it? I've read about this conclusion so long ago I can't remember who said it first. David Allen's GTD tackles the multi-tasking weakness and the book is several years old. We are so bombarded with information/gadgets/tools etc. that we are actually slowed down because of them.
- Andre P. Siregar
Andre, I've seen past studies that showed that multitasking was inefficient due to switching costs, but this was the first study I've seen that compared heavy multitaskers with light multitaskers. You might think that heavy multitaskers would be more effective at it, but they found that the opposite was actually true.
- Tom Stocky
Now its interesting that they don't mention ADD as they seem better at multitasking and actually can thrive in that.
- Jonas S Karlsson
from Android
Even people with ADD might get bogged down with too many tasks at the same time. Yes they might not have the same attention span as others, but there's still an upper limit on their brain's ability to multitask.

Placebos Are Getting More Effective. - http://www.wired.com/medtech...

When I saw the title in the newsreader, "Placebos Are Getting More Effective", I thought for sure it was an Onion article. It turns out, no, it is real.

Have you tried the new Placebo XR extended release caplets?
- Jim Norris
First thing. There is a natural reason for depression. Second. Just the diagnoses and the that something is done is talking steps in rignt direction. What's more interesting is why one gets depressed. Its the brains way of saying that we need to change something. That we don't have balance. Most meds try to make ppl cope and keep status quo. Ie undoing and avoiding change. This is probably not helpful when they need a break.
- Jonas S Karlsson
from Android
This is really a fascinating read. I expected to see more placebo in nervous-system disorders, but was surprised to see things like Chrohn's disease listed as well. The real takeaway from this article for me is that it will always be difficult to separate variables in research on humans, because there's no escaping the giant feedback loop among the world, the brain and human culture.
- Joel Webber
On the other hand, it's also exciting to think of the opportunity that may exist here -- if the placebo response can really be this effective, understanding the neural and biochemical pathways involved could lead to more effective therapies, both at lower doses of drugs, and eschewing drugs altogether when we can find other ways of triggering the response.
- Joel Webber
Think for a minute about what the placebo response is. It is partly a reflection of "things will get better anyway." The rest of it is "someone is ill whose body had all that was necessary to heal itself." So if placebo becomes more effective, either (a) the spontaneous recovery rate is going up -- which I don't think it is because diagnoses require persistent symptoms -- or (b) more...

I don't get the negativity - did no one realize FriendFeed was a business? The object of a business is to sell eventually (either privately or publicly). We should be celebrating their success. This is a huge win for them, as well as Facebook. I personally think it's a huge win for the "loyal users" as well. So now we stab them in the back when they do something huge?

"Ben Darnell, a key member of the Google Reader team, has left Mountain View to jump into startup life. Darnell bailed Google for FriendFeed, which was founded by ex-Googlers and notably in part by Kevin Fox, who used to work with him on the Google Reader team. Darnell is FriendFeed’s first hire in over a year, and will get employee badge number 13. He starts today, and according to the blog post announcing the steal, he’ll be bringing his “ninja-fu data-storage and scalability skills” to the startup."

Look up the section on "Lavender Mist"..here http://tr.im/d87e ... might give some insight as to why this is considered "art"
- Sriks7
It looks like complete shit, so it has to be something to do with pollock. Blue poles is the worst piece of art I've ever had the misfortune of viewing.

WTF? Throwing paint and scribbling is considered "art"?
- Tyson Key
Does anyone else think this looks like white noise?
- Tyson Key
It's art if I say it is.
- Pete Gilbert
okay, so what is it again?

1. This isn't the original piece, it's a joke by Google (their name is clearly visible). 2. Sweet to see the little ones confused by some marks on canvas (or screen in this case). If it makes you cross, look away!

It's lightweight encryption/steganography!

A tribute to the great Jackson Pollock? (Of course it is -- just caught up with all the comments before mine.) Some of us are fans of abstract expressionism. This is the visual equivalent of cosmic white noise bands like My Bloody Valentine. Pollock was ahead of his time.

When there are multiple links shared, and someone "likes" them, I can't tell which one they meant to "like".

That "Wow" pic is worth watching

amazing what you can do with only 256 colors

The "wow" pic is impressive.
- niniane
Am I seeing the same "wow" pic you are? I see what looks like a time-lapse drawing of a charcoal artist (or more likely, an algorithm simulating a charcoal artist) creating a so-so rendition of a woman's face.
- ⓞnor
well, it's better than what i could do. i'd be more impressed if it were purely algorithmic though.
