A Magazine Is an iPad that Doesn’t Work [Video]
It’s like giving a kid an abacus and telling her it’s really a calculator. Technology codes our minds, changes our OS. Apple products have done this extensively.

Frustrated by this waste, Mike Biddle has developed a cheap and incredibly energy efficient plant that can, and does, recycle any kind of plastic. [TED]
Sasquatch Discovered in New Warmer Locale [Pic]
