Divorce is on the decline in the USA, but a report to be released today suggests that may be due more to an increase in people living together than to more lasting marriages.
Wedding bells aren’t ringing, but neither are phones of divorce lawyers
Ok, this is probably the funniest thing I’ve watched on the ‘net in a long time… man…
Restaurant diners who have felt the cold breath of a waiter trying to hurry them along may take comfort from a new study from Cornell University.
This is just great! Now they can cram more of us in an airplane and give us even LESS legroom! How perfect! 🙁
The ER version of the plane is the same size as the standard 737-900, but the addition of an extra set of exit doors allows a carrier to increase capacity to 215 passengers from the previous 189.
Got milk? And high hopes it will help you shed a few pounds? The dairy industry is counting on it, thanks in part to a $200 million ad campaign that confidently touts studies suggesting a connection between consuming dairy products and losing weight. But dieters might want to delay sporting milk mustaches for the moment
I would imagine, to those people who actually love and play golf, this may be a bastardization of the game:
Google recently filed a US patent which reveals a great deal of how they rank your web site. Some of it you could never have guessed at…
Some recovery of memory may be possible in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, suggests a provocative new study in mice that could help researchers open a two-pronged attack against the mind-robbing illness.
Intelligence may lead to a better paid job and quality of life but, in old age, cleverness has no effect on happiness, new research suggests.
This guy is pretty clever- he even moved an entire building…. good stuff.
Nevada has Area 51. New Mexico has Roswell. Texas has the Marfa Lights.
They find solace in $325 Christian Dior sunglasses, a shot of confidence in a $600 Louis Vuitton handbag. Never mind that they still live with their parents and earn modest salaries in service jobs.
So you don’t wanna pay the $20 on the Sveasoft firmward for your shiny new WRT54G? Check this out:
As you might know, Linksys released the source code of the WRT54G firmware under GPL a while ago. Sveasoft (as well as other projects like WiFi-Box) took this code, added some features and patches and released an improved version of the firmware. This worked fine until one day, Sveasoft decided to close their firmware from public access and to charge 20$ from anyone who would want to download the code. So far so good, however since the GPL allows free redistribution of the obtained program (in this case firmware), one of their customers decided to put the firmware binaries on a P2P network, making them available for everyone. I don’t know who this person is, but I thank him for his kindness and in order to help people out, I decided to mirror those files on this website.
I always wondered what happened to Earful of Books a few years ago…
Earful of Books Inc. founder and Chief Executive Officer Paul Adams Rush was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and money laundering, federal prosecutors said Friday.

The lobotomy, once a widely used method for treating mental illness, epilepsy and even chronic headaches, is generating fresh controversy 30 years after doctors stopped performing the procedure now viewed as barbaric.
I dunno what to say – I guess I’m glad that its still going strong even tho’ we’ve parted ways. 🙂
ServerBeach was launched in March 2002 by Rackspace founder Richard Yoo in a bid to tap into a market for lower-scale hosting services. San Antonio-based Rackspace was, at the time, beginning to focus on full-service hosting for upscale clients.
This is just nuts – this guy is saying that this new phone is actually worth $725! Thats a pretty bold statement:
“Apple and the mainstream media are making a monumental mistake,” says Richard Bluestein, who podcasts on YeastRadio.com under the pen name Madge Weinstein. Bluestein argues that people are not looking for repackaged traditional media when they look for podcasts in most cases, and Apple is promoting exactly that.
You know, owning my Treo650 reminds me of my initial experiences of Windows NT – by which you were better off rebooting NT once a day so it wouldn’t crash unexpectedly. I wonder if this little handy app will reboot the Treo on a schedule:
Summary: Simple Tool to Soft Reset the PALM PDA without using the Stylus
Well… Duh!
TV advertisers are facing a potential disaster as more consumers buy digital video recorders (DVRs), according to a new study, since about 90 percent of current users fast-forward through ads.
On a side note, my MythTV box now has four tuners in it… and whats amazing about it isn’t the fact that I just popped them in and 10 mins later it was working, but the fact that all the tuners are already recording stuff at the same time!
Nivin talked about Rackspace, a San Antonio-based Web site hosting company, which can’t keep many of its young employees long enough because they’re quickly lured away by Austin’s huge music scene.

Looks like HDTV prices will drop like bricks during the Christmas season in 2008. That will be great for consumers, and it’ll also be the time when I finally make the plung towards HDTV. I bet by that time we’ll see 100+ hour HD PVRs, Hi-Def DVD will be figured out, and most shows will actually be broadcasted in Hi-Def. Yay!
In a boost to the nation’s transition to digital TV, broadcasters told Congress Wednesday they would agree to give up their analog channels and start broadcasting only in digital by 2009.
Yay! Now perhaps I’ll finally get off my ass and get my license!
The FCC has proposed dropping the 5 WPM Morse code element as a requirement to obtain an Amateur Radio license of any class

The ever-popular low-carbohydrate diets appear to work because they force people to eat more protein, which consequently suppresses the appetite, not because of a lower carbohydrate intake, according to new study findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Beginning Sept. 6, PBS will make available – exclusively over the Internet – broadcast television’s first entirely downloadable series, featuring PBS technology columnist and industry insider Robert X.

Turns out that if you’ve got four tuners in your MythTV box you should probably get 1gig memory… now that I’ve bumped it up to 1gig from 256mb, the UI is much more responsive and the commerical flagging is completing much quicker. 🙂

It was inevitable: Bloggers who previously wrote endlessly about everything from politics to tech tips to how to fry an egg on a hot sidewalk can now take their commentary, advice and random experiments to the next level by filming and broadcasting their work, thanks to the latest web trend — video blogging.
We all know the drinking game “Quarters”.. well if this guy ever got out of the house, he would KILL you at it! Pretty incredible stuff.. despite the fact that when these guys stopped filming, they probably celebrated by having sex with each other
If you’re on the job, and you’re reading this story, you should probably get back to work. The average worker wastes more than two hours a day, and that’s not including lunch, according to a new Web survey by America Online and Salary.com. That means companies spend as much as $759 billion on salaries annually for which they receive no apparent benefit, the research found.
Evidentally, Hilfiger must have some sort of new reality show that I missed? Funny quotes, gotta see this:

Rags-to-riches style icon Tommy Hilfiger hosts The Cut, the search for America’s next top fashion designer. 16 style-savvy contestants compete for the opportunity to design their own collection under the Tommy Hilfiger label. The contestants must complete a series of tasks that showcase their design and business skills to prove they have what it takes to make the cut in the fashion world.
