The difference between “God” and a scientist is that God can do things instantaneously if she/he/it wished. A scientist would probably take a several million years or centuries or decades to do the same. It is all a matter of time. If history is any indication “Scientific” progress takes a really long time to happen. [...]
The pain, the pain, yes the pain manifests itself in the form of anger, determination and disregard in the movie Quantum of Solace.

Nah, its not a thought about windows that I broke, or the beautiful pics of broken windows, its about this news article. I am sure it has been known for a long time (read centuries) that clean, tidy and well lit places foster more upbeat moods than dark/dingy/unkempt/littered places. This study gives examples of people’s [...]

My cruising in the hyperspace came to a screeching halt when I came across this news. Kind of stunned. Dunno what to say.
Damn, check out this video on preparation of Frozen Pizza. Its fun to watch how machines have replaced humans for faster processing and precision and probably save cost. I wonder if there will be a time when human population will be regulated to suit the resources that are available for consumption. China already does this [...]
Click, click, click screams my mouse when I am clicking through random links not knowing where I am going to end up. Lo and Behold! I came across this paper “Reducing the Risk of Human Extinction“. I like to read to papers in full or court opinions in full when I get a chance. If [...]

Man’s best friend, DoGs! The barking, running, loving four legged animal that has no equal. Mah colleague has a Samoyed.
