Liberals are genetically prone to be douche bags! :D

Just kidding, but the I thought this title was funny ;)

To quote the article:


"Gambling, extreme extroversion, sexual promiscuity and other adventurous human traits have also been blamed on DRD4 expression."

Apparently in 10 years, most of us are screwed!

 

"David H. Autor, an economics professor at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology, says the United States economy is being “hollowed out.” New jobs, he says, are coming at the bottom of the economic pyramid, jobs in the middle are being lost to automation and outsourcing, and now job growth at the top is slowing because of automation.

“There is no reason to think that technology creates unemployment,” Professor Autor said. “Over the long run we find things for people to do. The harder question is, does changing technology always lead to better jobs? The answer is no.”"

Google Chrome & ever-hanging Google image search? Close your stumbleupon plugin.

If you are among those who use Google's Chrome as your primary brwoser, but also happen to have stumbleUpon plugin installed (StumbleUpon is a nice way to keep track of all the sites you "like" or "dislike", and is one of the fastest growing social media tool), you might be coming across an issue where your google image search results, when clicked on, just keep hanging and don't display correctly. If so, the solution is simple:

Close out (don't need to disable) the stumbleUpon plugin on the current tab and access the image again :)

Hope this helps, I know it was very frustrating for me until I 'stumbled upon' the fix! :D

Response to Daily Show interview of Anna Baltzer & Dr. Mustafa Barghouti

Last night, I watched Jon Stewart's interview of Anna Baltzer & Dr. Barghouti.  The TV version was significantly cut down, so I wacthed the full version online, please watch the first part and the second part of the interview online.

This is what I sent The Daily Show in response:

"I just wanted to thank you for your brave decision to address the all-the-more obvious yet mysterious facet of Palestine/Israel conflict.

The fact that you, of ALL the prominent America media, has the courage and the character to bring into light a perspective that, although uncomfortable, addresses the heart of the issue- speaks volumes of your commitment to the truth VS propaganda.

Kudos to you and your staff for showing the courage that has been almost nonexistent in the US media for 60 years."

Show had their first heckler in 11 years and is now getting a LOT of hate-mail for bringing these guests on the show, so please show support, even if you don't agree with the guests, but for the sake of democracy and open media.  You can send your comments here:
