Actually, this is a Politico article about Ryan separating himself from Romney
these days, but for our purposes, focus on the good funnies the article's author
makes about Power Point.

An EU working group that's been charged with coming up with
recommendations for a terrorist-free European Internet has been brainstorming
the stupidest goddamned ideas you've ever read, which are now widely
visible, thanks to a leaked memo.

Gizmodo reports...
Watson, the Jeopardy-winning
supercomputer
developed by IBM, could become a cloud-based service that
people
can consult on a wide range of issues, the company
announced last week. "Watson
is going to be an advisor and
an assistant to all kinds of professional
decision-makers,
starting in healthcare and then moving beyond. We're already
looking at a role for Watson in financial services and in
other applications,"
says John Gordon, Watson Solutions
Marketing Manager at IBM in New
York.
I would suggest Watson be used to find prior art to
invalidates patents. Not much chance of that, with IBM being
one of the
biggest patent holders in the world.
Comments to the story include
one-liners such as "Watson
is a Cylon... I just know it" and "Isn't this how
skynet
started?"

BBC A good thing
too, as the Kenyan rural economy is based on a very efficient system of mobile
payments, and fake phones, especially with a bogus IMEI, can seriously undermine
the workings of a major part of the economy. But I see that Nokia may be
clutching at straws to keep their own business afloat: "For every one
million phones recycled, it is possible to recover nearly 35kg of gold and 350kg
of silver, which can be re-used in the production of future electronic
goods." Well, a million phones might go some way to paying Mr.
Flop's salary.....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As reported by
the LA Times...
The researchers collided zinc, which
has 30
protons, with bismuth, which has 83. The result was an atom
with 113
protons in its nucleus, the researchers say. But
the new element quickly
decayed.
"For our next challenge, we look to the uncharted territory
of element 119 and beyond."
Here is some
useful background material for you. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
