  • Key to all optical illusions discovered --

    Humans can see into the future, says a cognitive scientist. It's nothing like the alleged predictive powers of Nostradamus, but we do get a glimpse of events one-tenth of a second before they occur. And the mechanism behind that can also explain why we are tricked by optical illusions.

    Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually.

  by Alexander Becker

  Idleness, datamining, obsolete skills, illusions, autism, language, and keywords.

  • Idleness: Determine never to be idle: A simple productivity strategy --

    First of all, let's define what is meant by "idle". In my opinion, idle time is the time we spend on something other than what we are supposed to do. We know we should do something, but we procrastinate doing it or get distracted by something else. That is idle time.

    What is your default mode? --

    The best way to prevent a potentially negative aftermath to any accomplishment is to set up some idle-time protocol.

  • Datamining: Special reports 10 emerging technologies 2008 --

    Technology Review presents our list of the 10 technologies that we think are most likely to change the way we live.

  • Obsolete skills

  • Language 1: Keyword research for bloggers: A comprehensive guide --

    Keyword research, at its essence, is market research. It tells you what people are interested in, and in what relative numbers. Better yet, it reveals the actual language people are using when they think about those topics, which provides you with insight on how to converse with them via your blog.

  • Illusion: The anatomy of an illusion -- and what it tells us about the visual system --

    Take a look at this amazing illusion created by Arthur Shapiro

  • Language 2: Autism breakthrough: Girl's writings explain her behavior and feelings --

    Autism is hard because you want to act one way, but you can't always do that. It's sad that sometimes people don't know that sometimes I can't stop myself and they get mad at me. If I could tell people one thing about autism it would be that I don't want to be this way. But I am, so don't be mad. Be understanding.

  • Language 3: Study finds some thoughts really do require language --

    Some research suggests that understanding the thoughts of others -- having a theory of mind -- is one such process. Many children who are late in learning language are also late in developing a theory of mind.

  • Seth Godin: No user servicable parts inside --

    Here's a simple secret of success: ignore the sticker.

    Figure out how to use the tools that the most successful people in your field understand innately.

  Nothing is for real. Nothing.
