What Is Google Wave?

May 28th, 2009 |

What is Google Wave?

The engineers at Google have been busy the last couple of years.

First we saw the introduction of the fabulous Google News Timeline program, a useful research tool that shows off just a shred of what the new Web will be like – semantic, interactive, and above all ubiquitous and useful.

Then came news of Google Squared, a semantic search engine being developed for what is known as Web 3.0 – the new era of the internet when search engines will become, well, “smart”.

Now we have Google Wave, introduced today,…

May 27th, 2009 |

What is Proposition 8? What did the California Supreme Court recently decide about Prop 8?

Major news outlets yesterday were all too quick to show footage of protestors blocking a busy intersection in San Francisco – 175 protestors were eventually arrested. The protestors were reacting to the latest decision in the Proposition 8 fiasco. Proposition 8 was an amendment to the California state constitution that read, in part: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.“ Prop 8, as it is popularly known, passed in the November 4, 2008 general election, making gay…

Is There Cocaine in Red Bull Cola?

May 26th, 2009 |

Is there cocaine in Red Bull Cola?

Red Bull Cola has recently been released here in the United States — it is not considered purely an “energy drink” like the more familiar Red Bull product, but is sold as a “Cola”. About a year ago, the makers of Red Bull, the famous caffeine and sugar loaded “energy drink” decided to develop a soda. The “Red Bull” brand would hopefully imply the same big kick to drinkers of the cola beverage. But could the cola’s boost, which is advertised on the can and by the makers as “100% natural”, come…

Borgata Casino officials said that her roll beat the previous mark of 3 hours, 6 minutes set nearly 20 years ago at a Las Vegas casino.

Demauro bought into a craps game with $100 at about 8 pm and quickly drew a…

What Is an Average SAT Score?

May 21st, 2009 |

What is an average SAT score?

It is difficult to give a true “average” score on the SAT because of the wide range of tests supplied and the variety of student’s taking SAT tests. Not all students who take the SAT are “college bound seniors” — many students take the SAT test as early as their Sophomore year, to get an idea of what the test is like, and to prepare them for future testing. Also, there isn’t just one “SAT test”. The inclusion of “SAT subject tests” would skew the “average” quite a bit. To get an idea…

Have scientists found The Missing Link?

For years, science has been in search of “The Missing Link” between early primates and early humans — a being that bridged the gap between the two very different species. On Tuesday, the announcement came that scientists have been waiting for.

Scientists are revealing a fossil this week that they say was found almost 30 years ago — and may help untangle the mystery of our connection with other mammals and our earliest human ancestors.

An international team of scientists announced in New York on Tuesday the discovery of a 47 million year…

Why Did Tony Kornheiser Leave Monday Night Football?

May 19th, 2009 |

Why did Tony Kornheiser leave Monday Night Football?

The official reason for Tony Kornheiser’s exit from Monday Night Football is the analyst’s fear of flying. Kornheiser, who also hosts a radio show named after him and is co host of ESPN’s popular “Pardon the Interruption” program with Michael Wilbon, can frequently be heard complaining about his fear of plans, and relating anecdotes about his use of the anti anxiety drug Xanax to overcome this fear.

Many believe that ESPN wanted to go in a different direction with Monday Night Football, and cut a kind of shadowy “deal” with Kornheiser…

The Cosby Show Cast — where are they now?

The Cosby Show did not have a particularly long run on television. The popular show centered around an upper middle class African American family and ran for eight seasons, from 1984 to 1992.

Critics consider The Cosby Show one of the greatest television shows of all time. The Cosby Show literally changed the way African Americans were portrayed on television, and paved the way for African American television stars of today.

America fell in love with the Huxtable family — from husband and wife Cliff and Claire (a doctor and…

Who Is Elizabeth Munro?

May 19th, 2009 |

Who is Elizabeth Munro?

Elizabeth Munro is a British woman who recently announced she is pregnant. She received successful in vitro fertilization treatments in the Ukraine and plans on raising the child by herself. None of this would be newsworthy if it weren’t for Ms. Munro’s age. She will turn 67 just after delivering her first child.

Needless to say, there is plenty of public outrage. Doctors and clinical professionals worry about the health of the child — it is well known that children born to older mothers are more likely to have health problems. Others worry about the…

This newborn screening is a blood test for certain inherited metabolic and endocrine disorders.

Who is Mark Herzlich?

Mark Herzlich is a popular and powerful linebacker for the Boston College football team. He is well known for his hard hits, and was named the Defensive Player of the Year for the Atlantic Coast Conference. If you saw any college football coverage in the last year, you’re likely to recognize him.

Boston College announced yesterday that their star linebacker has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, known as Ewing’s sarcoma. Ewing’s sarcoma is a…

Why did Google crash on Thursday, May 14th?

Those of us who depend heavily on Google and their related programs for our internet activity hit a brick wall on Thursday, as Google services (including search, Docs, Labs, and even Gmail) were slowed to a near standstill — and in some places stopped altogether.

Starting around 9:45 Central Standard Time on the morning of May 14, Google and all of its related services were the talk of the web. Blog posts appeared,wondering “What’s happened to Google?” In the United States, users from NYC, Chicago, Miami, and San Francisco (representing a…

Why did the Miss California Pageant director resign?

Shanna Moakler, one time Miss USA and current Miss California Pageant director, resigned Wednesday May 13, amid a whirlwind of controversy related to current Miss California Carrie Prejean. Miss Prejean made some controversial statements about gay marriage during the recent Miss USA pageant, followed by new that her statements probably led to her losing the Pageant, calls from the Religious Right that the Pageant misfired, and the apperance of several racy photos of Carrie Prejean topless and in her underwear. Controversy about the Miss USA pageant is nothing new — it…

What Was Michelangelo’s First Painting?

May 14th, 2009 |


What was Michelangelo’s first painting?

A painting with a suspicious provenance has been purchased by the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas for an undisclosed amount.

Purportedly, the painting called “The Torment of Saint Anthony”, was the first painting of Michelangelo Buonarroti, completed when he was a young teenager, or perhaps even a preteen. If the painting is that of a young Michelangelo, it would be one of just four “easel paintings” made by the master.

Though the provenance of the painting, a historical document that verifies the painting’s past ownership and history, has long been disputed in…

What is the Montauk Monster?

The Montauk Monster is the nickname given to an unidentified corpse that washed up near Montauk, New York in July, 2008. Recently, the Montauk Monster has been in the news again, as another suspected “Montauk Monster” has washed ashore and been “captured” by a couple interested in the phenomenon. The couple allegedly have the new corpse in a garbage bag in a freezer at their New York home.

The Montauk Monster defies description. The corpse appears to have characteristics from several different animals, including a short and skinny tail, long legs in proportion to…

Who Is on Obama’s Supreme Court Short List?

May 14th, 2009 |

Who is on Obama’s Supreme Court short list?

With the resignation of Justice David Souter, President Obama is looking to nominate his first pick for the Supreme Court — I say first not just because the Supreme Court nomination process can be lengthy and difficult, but because it is likely that President Obama will have at least two more empty seats to fill at the nation’s highest court.

The White House has formalized its short list of Supreme Court nominees and asked the top six prospects to provide personal information, with the usual vetting process already underway. The White…

What Is Bagpipes from Baghdad?

May 13th, 2009 |

What is Bagpipes from Baghdad?

Bagpipes from Baghdad is a song from Eminem’s new CD. The controversial rapper took the opportunity on this new track to personally attack actor Nick Cannon and Cannon’s new wife Mariah Carey. The reason? Eminem once briefly “dated’ Mariah Carey, though Carey, a star in her own right, has denied that there was any physical connection at all, and they went out together a few times as friends.

The track “Bagpipes from Baghdad” contains the standard material we’ve come to expect from Eminem. Foul mouthed rants about Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are supported by…

What Is Google Squared?

What is Google Squared?

There is a new frontier in the world of web searches. Gone are the days when searching giants like Google and Yahoo could depend on the use of “keyword searches” for the best and most accurate search results. The web is all abuzz with the news of new search programs in development, like Wolfram Alpha which will attempt to approach web searches in a new and different way.

The problem is data. The internet is crammed full of data that can’t be easily searched for simply through the use of “keywords”. The new frontiers in the…

What Is Visible Vote?

May 13th, 2009 |

What is Visible Vote?

Visible Vote is a program that allows constituents to track their legislator’s voting record via their cell phones, Facebook pages, and other electronic interfaces. Visible Vote allows uers to access information that is normally rather difficult to find, enhancing the ‘transparency of government’ that many people feel is important in getting their government to work for them. An interesting aspect of Visible Vote is that it gives user’s the capability of “voting” on the same issues they are tracking, and even sends fax reports of constituent’s votes directly to legislators. The point of this is to…

Who Won The Biggest Loser Season 7?

May 13th, 2009 |

Who won The Biggest Loser Season 7?

The controversial winner of this past season of The Biggest Loser is Helen Phillips. I saw controversial because fans of the show are lining up to complain about the outcome — most fans, it seems, wanted Tara Costa to win, and don’t mind sharing their feelings about Helen Phillips. One message board is full of terrible insults, from claims that Helen Phillips is “an uncaring mother”, while another fans calls her “selfish” and warns that “what goes around comes around”. Obviously the victory of Helen Phillips was upsetting to many fans.

Will Cheerios Really Help Lower Your Cholesterol?

May 13th, 2009 |

Will Cheerios really help lower your cholesterol?

According to General Mills, the breakfast cereal product known as Cheerios has a significant impact on the cholesterol levels of regular consumers of the popular breakfast cereal. The benefit supposedly comes from the whole grains found in Cheerios. Unfortunately for General Mills, the FDA has some harsh words for any product marketing itself as a drug without proper approval. Does this mean that Cheerios doesn’t lower cholesterol, or is this simply a dispute over language? Is the science behind Cheerios supposed ability to lower your cholesterol still valid?

Will Shirley Jones Pose Nude for Playboy Magazine?

May 12th, 2009 |

Will Shirley Jones pose nude for Playboy magazine?

The short answer to this question is a resounding “No”. Shirley Jones never contacted Playboy magazine, and the magazine says they never contacted her about shooting a pictorial.

Rumors began to pop up all over the web last week — Shirley Jones, the 75 year old actress best known for her role as the matron of TV’s “The Partridge Family”, was planning on dropping the laundry for a Playboy photo shoot.

If Shirley Jones did appear in Playboy, she would be the oldest model in the magazine’s history by far. Runner up…

What Is the Skinny Bastard Diet?

What is the Skinny Bastard diet?

The Skinny Bastard diet can be found in the book “Skinny Bastard”, a foul mouthed companion diet to the popular “Skinny Bitch” series of weight loss books which suggest a vegan diet as a route to weight loss. One difference between “Skinny Bitch” and “Skinny Bastard” — the book aimed at men suggests ways that men can “get ripped”, or add muscle mass.

In an effort to capture the attention of males, the “Skinny” series authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin have reclothed their vegan manifesto with terms and concepts aimed at men. Their…

Who is Katy Tur?

Katy Tur is the girlfriend of polarizing news figure Keith Olbermann, one time reporter for the popular ESPN program “Sportscenter” and current host of the MSNBC hit “Countdown with Keith Olbermann”. Katy Tur has been in the news recently for landing a number of high profile jobs supposedly secured with the assistance of her much older live-in boyfriend Keith Olbermann. However, there is probably another factor in Katy Tur’s early success — she may be only 24, but the fact that her father, Bob Tur, is a major force in the world of television news means…

Who Is Roxana Saberi?

May 11th, 2009 |

Who is Roxana Saberi?

Roxana Saberi is the journalist recently arrested and sentenced to eight years in an Iranian prison for “spying”. Her case made headlines because she is the first American journalist to be charged with such a crime, and because the charges seemed competely ungrounded. Amazingly, Saberi’s lawyer announced on Monday, May 11th, 2009, that Saberi has been freed, and all charges against her have been dropped.

Roxana Saberi was released today after her sentence was reduced to a two-year term, which was then suspended by an Iranian court. Her lawyer, Abdolsamad Khorramshahi, broke the news to the…

Who Is Mr. ZZee?

May 11th, 2009 |

Little is known about Mr. ZZee — much more is known about his “line of work”.

Mr. ZZee (also known as Mr. Z or Mr. ZZEE) is the infamous celebrity sex tape broker responsible for myriad celebrity sex tapes and the ensuing cocktail of embarassment and publicity that follows.

It is said he is the mystery man behind several best selling celebrity sex tapes, but so far, Mr. ZZee has not disclosed his true identity — probably a good thing considering the rash of lawsuits that are no doubt waiting to be filed against him.

Why is NASA launching a shuttle to the Hubble telescope?

The Hubble telescope, which provides unprecendented views of deep space, is damaged, and is basically inoperable. NASA is sending up a crew to attempt repairs.

As we sit waiting for news of the coming launch of the Atlantis shuttle, another shuttle is poised for launch. That means that both of NASA’s shuttle launch pads are occupied — a rare occasion. Atlantis is on one, primed for a flight this coming week to the Hubble Space Telescope.

The space shuttle Endeavour sits on the other launch pad, a full mile away…

What is “mygener.im”?

It may be time to take extra precautions if you are a Facebook user. The phishing bug that made big news last week when it attacked Facebook users started to show its nasty face again on Thursday morning. The worst part about “mygener.im” is that it spreads from person to person via an otherwise tame looking Facebook message.

Facebook users have been receiving messages from friends that ask them to visit the Web site ‘mygener.im’ or ‘fbstarter.com’. The site is marked as a source of malware in many browsers and virus programs, which is fortunate. Most curious…

Bank Stress Test Results

May 8th, 2009 |

Results from the government’s recent “bank stress test” are in, and the outlook is mixed.

Government regulators have told Bank of America that it must take serious steps to address an apparent $34 billion shortfall of funds, the biggest gap among the nation’s 19 biggest financial institutions.

Wells Fargo needs to find between $13 and $15 billion to make up their shortfall, while competitiors like GMAC, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley need to raise between $1 billion and $11.5 billion.

We need to bear in mind that not all the results have been released. Results for 6 of the smaller financial…

What is “gonadotropin”?

Gonadotropin, also known as hCG, has been in the news lately as the suspected source of major league baseball star Manny Ramirez’ steroid troubles. The Los Angeles Dodger’s big gun was sidelined for 50 games after testing positive for a “performance enhancing drug”, which authorities refused to outright identify as a “steroid”. Ramirez, who is not planning to appeal, claimed that the substance he tested positive for was administered by a doctor for treatment for a “personal medical issue”, and that neither Ramirez nor the doctor knew the drug was on the league’s “banned substance” list.
