These are my links for May 6th through May 8th:
- Why "Chick Flicks" Hate Women | Maxim.com – "You've seen it a million times. Some emotionally vulnerable woman sits by the phone all night (weepy romantic movie playing in the background optional) just waiting for that cute guy to call. When's he going to call? Why won't he call? What's wrong with me? What did I do to provoke him into being emotionally distant? I do this all the time, don't I? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?"
- SPACE.com — Star Trek’s Warp Drive: Not Impossible – "The idea is that you take a chunk of space-time and move it" Obviously, I'm counting the hours before I can watch the latest Star Trek film.
- The Angry Economist – "Corporations regulate the behavior of other corporations. They're all greedy mother-fuckers, and they wouldn't hesitate to cut their mother's throat, OR their own prices in order to gain market share."
- Findings – Ear Plugs to Lasers – The Science of Concentration – NYTimes.com – Imagine that you have ditched your laptop and turned off your smartphone. You are beyond the reach of YouTube, Facebook, e-mail, text messages.
- How Michael Osinski Helped Build the Bomb That Blew Up Wall Street — New York Magazine – I never would have thought, in my most extreme paranoid fantasies, that my software, and the others like it, would have enabled Wall Street to decimate the investments of everyone in my family.
