Am I Brushing My Teeth Correctly? →
It seems pretty straightforward: you brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening then you’re all set. It turns out it’s not exactly that simple. While brushing your teeth at least twice a day is the usual recommendation, how and when you do it isn’t as simple as you’d think.
Some good advice. I think most of it is common sense, but this bit did surprise me:

Nintendo's Wii U may miss out on next-gen EA games →
The Wii U is looking more and more like the Gamecube everyday. Combine this with the 3DS which isn’t too hot, and… Nintendo you are in trouble.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

Just months after the internet censorship bills SOPA and PIPA were taken off the floor, a new and similarly scrutinized bill, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has passed through the House of Representatives and is on its way to the Senate.

Tynt, the Copy/Paste Jerks →
Over the last few months I’ve noticed an annoying trend on various web sites, generally major newspaper and magazine sites, but also certain weblogs. What happens is that when you select text from these web pages, the site uses JavaScript to report what you’ve copied to an analytics server and append an attribution URL to the text.
What that means is when you copy something and later paste...

Twenty-five years ago, renowned scholar Joseph Campbell sat down with veteran journalist Bill Moyers for a series of interviews that became one of the most enduring and popular programs ever aired on PBS.

Hackers Can Gain Control of Airplane via... →
A hacker could gain complete control over a plane’s navigation using an Android smartphone, according to a new report from security researcher Hugo Teso. Forbes reports that Teso demonstrated how using a custom application on his Samsung Galaxy, he was able to exploit certain systems in a plane’s electronics.

The Star of Spring in Japan →
I’ve had many photos selected for Flickr Explore in the past, but this just blows them all away. 17,890 views, 366 favourites, added to two galleries, all in just a little over 24 hours. Guess folks like cherry blossoms.
But these viral things don’t tend to translate to much. People look at one photo and move on. Case in point: the photo I posted a few hours later only has 100 views...

I’m far from a gamer these days, if I ever was. Like most kids who grew up in the 80s/90s, I had an NES and enjoyed the hell out of it, mastering most games I owned and rented, and arguing endlessly with my friends about which was better, Zelda 1 or 2. I upgraded to the SNES as soon as it was released1 and continued my gaming until college.
