Satire: Not for Idiots
Meaning, apparently, the US media.
John Stewart’s suggestion for Barack’s reaction to the New Yorker cover: ‘Barack Obama is in no way upset about the cartoon that depicts him as a muslim extremist - because you know who gets upset about cartoons? Muslim extremists - of which Barack Obama is not. ITS JUST A FUCKING CARTOON.’

Watch the Watchmen!

The ninja at the end of the video basically sums it up for me. When I saw this trailer this weekend in the theater, I almost crapped my pants.

EPOC by Emotiv
The worlda€™s first thought-controlled computer game could be launched by the end of the year.
A new headset being developed by an Australian company may soon replace joysticks and Wii handles.
The EPOC headset has 16 sensors which measure electrical activity in the brain, allowing players to push and pull objects on a screen just by thinking.
Despite scepticism among some experts, EmotivAA -AA the Sydney-based company behind the headsetAA -AA claims it has carried out pre-release tests which show that the electroencephalography process works.
Emotiv co-founders Allan Snyder, a neuroscientist and former Cambridge University research fellow, and Tan Le are confident the technology can take gaming from the Wii to the next stage.
Tan Le said: a€This is the tip of the iceberg. There will be a convergence of gesture-based technology and the brain as a new interfaceAA -AA the Holy Grail is the mind.a€™
The theory behind the headset was predicted by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at the video games industrya€™s annual E3 conference.
He said: a€As soon as we think something in our brain, it will appear within a video game. Youa€™ll probably need to wear a kind of hat or helmet or something.a€™

Gyroscopic Anti-Terrorism
Is this not one of the silliest things you’ve ever seen? I mean, I knew that some POlice used Segways in certain locations - but for ‘rapid deployment’ with full riot gear and gats pulled? My ninjas, PLEASE.
Members of China’s armed police demonstrate a rapid deployment during an anti-terrorist drill held in Jinan, capital of east China’s Shandong Province July 2, 2008, roughly one month ahead of the Beijing Olympics.(Xinhua/Fan Changguo Photo) [source].

Dairy Jewelery
Milk Pearls? Really? I can see it now - this will be replacing ‘ice’ around ninjas’ necks soon enough:
‘yo yo, check out my milk, my ninja…’
French design collective Duende have used a technique that can transform human or animal milk into plastic by solidifying the casein content. The ‘Perle de lait’ range of jewelry will be on display as part of their collection of objects exploring the relationship of food between mother and child at La Cuisine. This takes the concept of bespoke jewelry to whole new level.

New Money [in China]
Check out the new 10 yuan notes being issuedAA in China - notice that something is missing?
That’s right, for the first time in a decade the Chinese government is issuing new bills that DO NOT feature an image of Chairman Mao. Crazy.
And that’s not even it - the featured image on the new bill is Herzog & de Meuron‘s Beijing National Stadium [known in Beijing as ‘the Bird’s Nest‘]. So not only did Mao get pushed off the new money, but the replacement is basically a symbol of the ‘new’ China. My ninjas, please!

Mystery on Fifth Avenue
THINGS are not as they seem in the 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue. At first blush the family that occupies it looks to be very much of a type. The father, Steven B. Klinsky, 52, runs a private equity company; the mother, Maureen Sherry, 44, left her job as a managing director for Bear Stearns to raise their four young children (two boys and two girls); and the dog, LuLu, is a soulful Lab mix rescued from a pound in Louisiana.
They are living in a typical habitat for the sort of New Yorkers they appear to be: an enormous a€™20s-era co-op with Central Park views (once part of a triplex built for the philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather Post), gutted to its steel beams and refitted with luxurious flourishes like 16th-century Belgian mantelpieces and custom furniture made from exotic woods with unpronounceable names.
But some of that furniture and some of those walls conceal secrets a€" messages, games and treasures a€" that make up a Rube Goldberg maze of systems and contraptions conceived by a young architectural designer named Eric Clough, whose ideas about space and domestic living derive more from Buckminster Fuller than Peter Marino.
The apartment even comes with its own book, part of which is a fictional narrative that recalls a€oeThe Da Vinci Codea€A (without the funky religion or buckets of blood) and a€oeFrom the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,a€A the childrena€™s classic by E. L. Konigsburg about a brother and a sister who run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and discover a€" and solve a€" a mystery surrounding a Renaissance sculpture. It has its own soundtrack, too, with contributions by Kate Fenner, a young Canadian singer and songwriter with a lusty, alternative, Joni Mitchell-ish sound, with whom Mr. Clough fell in love during the project. via

Just a Friendly Reminder
Professor James Duane reminds us why we shouldn’t talk to the police.

The world is upon us.
The world is upon us.
Bothersome like a whimsical thought of what is apparent of achievement and what needs to get done. To think for a second that what you want is what we want is right. And to think of the later is too late and gone to be done just right. Let us bring flight to those that cannot fly and blind those that can already see.
For in the long run it is us that stand in the way. It is us, the leaders that carry the torch from a land far away to enlighten and then frenzy an irreplaceable interconnectedness. The gates have opened. Signals and co-opted simplicity shed these lights and are only less manly than the comfortable tunnels of Winnipeg, Canadia. Moving on and progressing are the hardest of things, more dense then of the iron, brass, and cult copper that are forged together on a daily commotion.
Let us bring flight to those that cannot fly and blind those that can already see. I’ll see you in station and we will have fun.

thanks for Stanky Plank for sending this in
