Twitter is Not An Emergency Broadcast System - (USA)
You might think that Twitter is a great way to spread important information quickly, including perhaps emergency notifications. Law.com reports today on a lawsuit from a Texas-based emergency broadcast technology company alleging that by designing its system in a way that allows Twitter to be used for emergency broadcasts, Twitter has violated the litigant’s [...] Related posts: Here Come The Twitter Patent Lawsuits.

Zachary Quinto GQ Germany Pics (June 2009) - (USA)
Zachary Quinto in GQ Germany (June 2009) First of all - let me just preface the “no fishsticks.” Second of all, the only reason I am posting these pics is cause peeps tell me I look like him. Sigh. And third of all, I didn’t “seek out” these pics, someone sent em to me. Thanks. No bullshit though, Zachary Quinto KILLED IT in Star Trek. At the end of the day, I gotta help promote my mans, right? Despite the high fishsticks potential. Pics after the jump.

“Bengal’s Heart,” Lora Leigh - (USA)
Pros: Same hot sex Leigh’s fans love Cons: Temper tantrum-prone annoying leads and hand-wavy “SF” plot Rating: 2 out of 5 Review copy (uncorrected proof) courtesy of Penguin Group . Expected publication date: 8/4/2009. While I enjoy Lora Leigh’s Breed novels, some of them are better than others. Bengal’s Heart is my least favorite so far, and if it had been the first I’d read, I might not have continued. Lora Leigh’s “Breed” novels are all about genetically-engine

Digital Photography Masterclass, by Tom Ang, DK Books - (USA)
Guest Book Review by Alan Lillich (Conrad has a well-deserved week off) My oldest daughter lives in Illinois, I live in California. She recently decided to get a DSLR because her point and shoot camera was too limiting. I went looking for a good photography instruction book to send her, and found it in “Digital Photography Masterclass” by Tom Ang. There seem to be a lot of books still on the shelves teaching film photography, and a lot of digital photography books that spend too much space on

OUR WAKING (AND SLEEPING) ONLINE HABITS - (USA)
It’s come to this. Not only do we compulsively start the day by checking the Internet first: This is morning in America in the Internet age.

Informatics & Security Degree Program - (USA)
Hello folks. I'm from Ontario, Canada. I've decided to go into a program called Informatics and Security at Seneca College this September. But I am not particularly interested in programming. The type of job positions I would be after would be something like a network administrator. This is a 4 year degree program, and it doesn't focus on computer science or programming. Instead it focuses more on database administration, systems administration, and network administration. And there seems to be

Hugo Geekery - (USA)
And now, the Hugo post. * To begin, I can say with some authority that winning a Hugo feels as good the second time as it does the first. Will it feel the same the third, fourth or seventh time? I don’t know, but I am willing to find out . * Second, I am absolutely delighted to have won the Best Related Book Hugo. As I mentioned in my acceptance speech, I came to science fiction having worked in newspapers and magazines and having written non-fiction books, so having won this one feels v

What is Forensic Nursing - (USA)
Forensic Nursing is one of the newest specialty areas recognized by the American Nurses Association. It involves working with law enforcement officials to aid in the investigation of crimes such as abuse, accidental death and assault. They also collect evidence from the survivors of the violent crime as well as the suspect so a case can be can be made and justice can be served. Since crimes happen almost everyday even when the suspect is already in prison, forensic nursing requires a lot of

Acupuncture safe for kids: review | CHINESE MEDICINE NEWS - (USA)
Acupuncture seems to be safe for children, although its efficacy on some conditions remain uncertain, according to a mega review of 62 studies and meta-analyzes. The risk for adverse events of acupuncture on children is estimated to be 1.55 per 100 cases, leading experts to consider the treatment as low risk.

The Creative Discipline: Mastering the Art and Science of Innovation: Nancy K. Napier, Mikael Nilsso - (USA)
Editorial Reviews Review “Napier and Nilsson’s book addresses new and changing systems in a world that needs to change. I love the analogies they use, like football and the circus! These are two forms you don’t imagine in the same room, yet Napier and Nilsson neatly fit them into the conceptual intrigue of their book.”–Heather Rae, Film Producer of Frozen River, Recipient of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for Dramatic film, and Out of the Blue, a film about life and footba

Apple's magic tricks and business spells revealed - (USA)
Apple remains one of the most divisive subjects in the IT world. Technologists tend to love Apple or loathe it (see the recent Case against Apple - In five parts from Jason Calacanis). But, even Apple’s most bitter critics grudgingly acknowledge that CEO Steve Jobs has led a dramatic turnaround and that the company is riding a hot streak of winning products from the iMac to the iPod to the iTunes store to the MacBook to the iPhone. TechRepublic’s sister site BNET has pulled back the veil

Secret diary of Rody Molloy - (USA)
Monday Headed off to Croke Park at lunchtime for the Employment Fair just to show my face. The place is crawling with media and stinks of Lynx. My sinuses are playing up really badly. Left at about 2.30 and headed home for a bit of a lie down. I’m entitled to that much I think. If I’m not firing on all cylinder I’m good to neither man nor beast. All work and no play makes Rody a dull boy. Curry for dinner. Herself does it lovely with the real curry from the chipper. Lots of paperwork to b

Danger Gal Friday: Number One - (USA)
In light of the recent reboot of the Star Trek franchise with the release of J.J. Abrams’ new movie, this weeks’ Danger Gal Friday profile is on Number One, the original first officer of the Enterprise from The Original Series pilot “The Cage.” Number One was played by Majel Barrett, wife of Gene Roddenberry.

John Naughton has a good Observer (UK) column today about patients getting health information on the internet. The medical profession is, to put it mildly, not over the moon. The more literate practitioners shake their heads and quote Mark Twain’s adage: ‘Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.’ But others are more righteous and wax indignant about what they see as the errors and misinformation peddled by many sites that purport to deal with health issues. It’s tempt

Knowledge, Learning and Teaching - (USA)
by Jay Polmar How do we teach one another? How is it that we were taught everything that we now know? At some points in history, knowledge was elitist and even a forbidden concept. In 399 BC, Socrates explained that he was known as the wisest of all men since he understood that he knew nothing. Socrates was ultimately executed because of his unyielding questioning to the Athens population to find out how they knew what they knew. Today, we still ask Socrates questions and have yet to full

Minimal Life: Nature's smallest life - (USA)
This week at the National Science Foundation headquarters in Arlingon, Virginia, a small group of researchers got together for a workshop about “minimality” in biology. Participants considered the teeniest living cells, the shortest genomes, the simplest engineered systems — basically asking, how low can you go and still have “life”? The morning sessions on 10 August focused on “unusual life”. Stephen Giovannoni of Oregon State University in Corvallis talked about SAR11, a clade of tiny pl
