[Peer Review on Science Blogs] Why do some snakes have horns? : Tetrapod Zoology: * Someone really needs to embark on some massive creative commons project involving photos of the world's reptiles and amphibians. ALL the good images on the internet are copyrighted (which makes you wonder why they're on the internet at all).

[Bad Astronomy Blog] Canada, the smallest planet | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: I’m not sure if you know this phil, but there are bots that troll wikipedia now and auto-revert vandalism almost instantaneously (anything with a profanity in it mainly). So while subtle, mostly true (points to statement above:)), amusing vandalisms like this may have to be manually reverted, most of them are virtually instantly put back to their previous version.

[The Long Tail] The Long Tail - Wired Blogs: I wrote an item on my Wi-Fi Networking News site about how the new AT&T/Starbucks deal fulfills something I've been saying for years: Unlimited public access Wi-Fi would be "free," but either it would actually cost nothing (two hours per day for exceedingly nominal purchase at Starbucks, lots of free cafes in the world, free airports, etc.) or cost a nominal value of about $20 per month to an individual to whom $20 per month was essentially "free"

[Whatanews4u.Sports] BBC - dot.life: Wikipedia on the wane?: Anybody familiar with resources created by the general public on the internet will be aware that accuracy is not a prime concern of certain highly active groups. For example, any discussion of Israel and Palestine is likely to be hijacked by people whose sole interest is in crowding out viewpoints expressed by their opponents in favour of their own, usually highly selective, views.

[marklynas.org - home] marklynas.org | Climate change explained: the impact of ...: So cognitive dissonance to one person is not quite the same cognitive dissonance to another. In trying to define the term to the satisfaction of all corners must be cut and tradeoffs made and points of views taken into account in order that the term cognitive dissonance can be used in a way which is actually useful and fulfills some sort of purpose.

[Roger Ebert's Journal] I met a character from Dickens - Roger Ebert's Journal: Like many other young men in London starting out on a new career, I knew that Jermyn was precisely the place to go to get fitted out, but I also knew I was culturally unprepared for the place, and I found the whole experience fascinating. The fact that I had grown up on the Canadian prairies and had first come to London 6 years earlier with nothing but a backpack, a working holidaymaker visa, no plans, no prospects, and certainly no money, added further excitement to the experience as I graduated to the the wacky comfort and eccentric opulence of the shops on Jermyn from the drab, impersonal unkindness of the typical high street shop.

[Search Engine Land: News About Search Engines & Search Marketing] at ET by Share Google Buzz Opinions expressed in the article are ...: If you assume that the WSJ sells out all their display media on all pages that these people land on at an average of $10, (a high assumption, even for WSJ, for avg sell out ecpm for all impressions on all pages…remember: if there are three units per page, this assumes WSJ.com will sell out all pages on the site at a $30 average page CPM)…but let’s assume $10 CPM for all impressions…that means these people WSJ loses from google would have to be people who AVERAGE 15-20 page views, per day, every single day, AND that all 15 of those page views are sold out at a $30 page ECPM…That is idiotic…these are people who click on a link from google to get to WSJ, and who likely average 1 page view per visit from google, and fewer than 5 visits per month. Your assumptions for opportunity cost are off by at least an order of magniutude, and probably more than that.

[Scope] Scope » Blog Archive » A Drug By Any Other Name: Gone are the days of the infamous Chevy Nova, when sales of a car that sounded spacey and energetic in the United States flopped in Spanish-speaking countries because no va means “doesn’t go.” Now, stories sound more like this: The branding company Nametag International was preparing a drug called Soarus for international distribution when its linguists found out about the Yiddish word tsouris, meaning “trouble.” For a warmer reception, they changed its name to Soarian before marketing it in Israel.

[PressThink] PressThink: If I Didn't Build it, They Wouldn't Come: Citizen ...: "In a lot of ways, journalists have decided that journalism is something journalists do," said Slashdot.org editor Rob Malda in an email. "That's sort of elitist, but I won't piss on their parade and really contest that: We're just not journalists."

[Spread Firefox - The Home of Firefox Community Marketing] Community @ SFx | Spread Firefox: After 8 months, 281 proposals received from 156 volunteers, today we start the voting for the Proposals finalists, so, I want to invite to all of you to visit the Mozilla México website and vote for your favorite! the form is on the right sidebar and the images on the first post.

[Making Light] Making Light: Grep that spool: This print-privileging attitude must not be evenly distributed across WP--as I mentioned above, I keep running into, if not resistance to, at least ignoring of standard print reference tools, particularly in the entries connected to SF terminology and taxonomy. The problem there seems to be a preponderance of self-taught SF/literary critics reluctant to acknowledge that there's a well-developed body of work that addresses issues such as what constitutes a genre or what the label "hard SF" indicates.
