Bill Kristol: ‘We need to hear’ that Obama has gone to war on Iran
Here, Ahmadinejad calls the United States a terrorist nation. What really sucks is the truth in his words. Who asassinates people in violation of the soveriegnity of other nations? Who invades nations, willy nilly, on trumped up pretexts of “national security”? Who sponsors, subsidizes, and condones the murderous racist policies of Israel? Who’s economy profits by the mass production of WMDs and implements of war??? Who refuses to participate in ridding the global community of land mines?
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for his part, dismissed the U.S. accusations as a fabricated “scenario.”
“Iran is a civilized nation and doesn’t need to resort to assassination,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying Sunday by the official IRNA news agency. “The culture of terror belongs to you,” he said, addressing the United States.
Bilingualism Will Supercharge Your Baby’s Brain
Their minds are more flexible – better able to unlearn previously learned rules in light of new, conflicting information.Cognitive science has demonstrated that all learning is, to a great extent, a process of unlearning – of redefining the schema we use to mentally represent and categorize the world.Google Waves Goodbye to Language Barriers
Google's prototype language translator, Conversation Mode, uses Android phones to record spoken words and then play them back in a different language. Conversation Mode combines the technology of Google Voice and Google Translate (which only works for text) to translate over fifty languages via a speech interface on a smartphone.
New Tech Gives Soldiers Predator-Style Heat Vision
The Clip-On Thermal Imager amps up the warfighter's vision to a different spectrum -- giving the soldier souped-up, super vision.
COTI's long-wave infrared technology allows a warfighter to "see" even in pitch-black or no light conditions. By using an 8- through 10-micron range, it can give the user "sight" in spite of smoke, foliage, fog, rain and other adverse conditions where standard devices provide only limited capability.While basic camouflage can defeat ordinary night-vision devices, it can't fool the COTI's ability to detect thermal sources. It can even identify whether a vehicle or a room has been recently occupied by "seeing" residual heat signatures. Arguably even cooler, it can spot hand- and footprints invisible to the naked eye.
Why You Should Get Online In An Earthquake
It's not true, as popular lore often has it, that the Net's architects built it to survive a nuclear war. But it was designed to route around outages and disconnections. It does this by breaking up each bit of data into small packets, each tagged with its destination, that every Internet router along the way sends along the quickest path available. No one machine needs to map out the entire route; it just needs to find the fastest hop to a closer waypoint.
NEWS: Why Quakes Travel Farther on the East CoastSo-called packet-switched communication may not let you watch a high-definition video clip online without it stalling or breaking down. But if you absolutely, positively need to send some information immediately, it's your last and best hope.

How the Green Revolution Worked in Iran : One Case Study
Iran’s would-be Green Revolution, like so many other color revolutions, was launched by a network of Oligarch-backed NGOs, foreign-financed militias, marginalized groups, minorities, and even some deluded, but genuine reformers. The techniques that have been used to destroy democracy throughout the West are being used to crush democracy everywhere in the world, and by the same people who destroyed it here.

Peer to peer review uses the vast network of the internet to review scientific papers. So rather than depend on the dusty corridors of academe and their running dogs, the scientific journals, we can now rely on this vast human algorithm to pursue the truth.
