hField Wi-Fire review →
SNIP: The Wi-Fire his a long range USB Wi-Fi adapter with drivers for OS X and Windows (Peter talked about it in September but I thought it might be good to give it a second look — they also reduced the price). It is about as big as a USB card reader and packs flat for portability. First, let’s look at some of the numbers. Using a standard G wireless card, I saw about 9mbps in speed tests. Using...

UN Says Tasers Are a Form of Torture →
SNIP: The use of Tasers “causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture,” the UN’s Committee Against Torture said. “In certain cases, they can even cause death, as has been shown by reliable studies and recent real-life events.” Three men — all in their early 20s — died from after tasering in the United States this week, days after a Polish man died at...

Hmm… I don’t think it works this way: “If consumer wealth crashes — and both Business Week and The Economist offer cover stories this week saying it will — what happens to the content powering Web 2.0? Will people still have time to blog if they need to take a second job (or a first one) to keep making payments on their rapidly adjusting ARM? Will people still videocast their...

The Secret Strategies Behind Many “Viral” Videos →
SNIP: Secret #1: Not all viral videos are what they seem There are tens of thousands of videos uploaded to YouTube each day (I’ve heard estimates between 10-65,000 videos per day). I don’t care how “viral” you think your video is; no one is going to find it and no one is going to watch it. The members of my startup are hired guns – our clients give us videos and we make them go viral. Our rule of...

First recorded experiment? Daniel 1: 1-16 →
SNIP: One of the earliest references to a controlled experiment is from Daniel 1: 1-16 in the Old Testament of the Bible. In this ‘experiment’ Daniel pits his nutrition regime of “pulse” to eat and water to drink versus the best cuts of meat and the most highly rated wine.
