Rumor: UK iPad pricing


Sounds on the ball to me – I was guessing £399. Remember kids, the UK price includes VAT, but the US price doesn’t include their sales tax.

Importantly: will it be eligible for the 15% higher ED discount?

Artificial Flight and Other Myths (a reasoned examination of A.F. by top birds)


The voice of the skeptic~

Even if we were capable of completely achieving the above, how would we ever know if it was a true bird? Where does flight really reside? We may build a functioning, flapping wing, but what if the essence of flight is deeper, hidden within the cells or elsewhere? We would only succeed in making a hollow doll that only gives the appearance of flight. If this is the end result, is it a worthwhile investment of our time and resources?

Grandmother fights off deadly shark by punching it on the nose


Most hard-core granny in the world? Any 60-year-old who’d kick a shark in the neck gets my vote.

An Australian grandmother survives a shark attack after punching the animal, despite losing more than three pints of blood.

‘Facebook Login’


This is basically the funniest thing.

So: is the internet too complicated, or are people too stupid?

Fascinating. ReadWriteWeb has a weblog post that ranks highly in Google’s search results for “Facebook login”. The comments on the post are filled with complaints from confused people who think that this is the new Facebook login page.

It’s funny, yes, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at just how confused many people are about how web sites and browsers work. They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex.
