Amazing composure and thoughtfulness from such a young kid.

Does the language we speak shape how we think?

After struggling with having to assign a gender to all inanimate objects while learning Spanish as my second language I began to wonder if working within that dichotomy might change the way people see the world...

Created to fight cancer, useful against HIV?

Two drugs, decitabine and gemcitabine -- both FDA approved and currently used in pre-cancer and cancer therapy -- were found to eliminate HIV infection in the mouse model by causing the virus to mutate itself to death -- an outcome researchers dubbed "lethal mutagenesis."

Better late than never.

Former Bush campaign aid and Republican National Committee chairman comes out as gay and decides to back same sex marriage. He now says, "It's something I wish I had done years ago."

We all need to be concerned with net neutrality.

In case you haven't heard of that term before, or don't understand what it means, here's a quick definition:

Network neutrality is a principle proposed for user access networks participating in the Internet that advocates no restrictions by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and governments on content, sites, platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and no restrictions on the modes of communication allowed

GHB legitimized?

The energy efficient way to search the interwebs.

Apparently, because this search engine's background is black instead of white it saves your computer monitor energy in lighting itself.

iPhone users have more sex.

My favorite quote from this article: "For this analysis of 30-year-olds with smartphones suggested that women with iPhones had an average of 12.3 sexual partners (I am sure the 0.3 knows exactly who he is), while their age-equivalents who had opted to put an Android into their purse scored a mere 6.1.

NOTE: I did not write this - I am merely a fan of the original poster. I reposted this after all the losers who couldn't take the awesome genius of this write up flagged it for removal. It was originally here - http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1879395238.html Who would flag something so amazing you might ask? Well people who are not only uncreative losers but cowards too because they hide behind their anon flaggings. Probably a smart move though because I personally would punch someone in the face who would flag this to remove it. If you're gonna flag this - flag it "Best Of." Thanks.
