This may not be that accurate about the relationship between men and women, but it is pretty funny and worth sharing. Enjoy

In fact, I’d wager that she likes it about as much as I like this high-spec pink laptop from Medion, which is not only one of the fastest machines I’ve seen off a racetrack, but also sparkles and twinkles in such a pretty and seasonal way.

GeekとNerdに加えてDorkというのまであったのねw
For the record Geeks are those that have technical aptitude, nerds are bright but socially awkward, and dorks are just inept excuses for protoplasm.

例のAllofMP3だが、ついにRIAAが本格的に訴訟に着手したらしい。
I haven’t been able to find information on the largest lawsuit in history but I’m sure this one is right up at the top. The RIAA (yes, I was just as shocked as you ;) ) is suing the website AllofMP3.com on behalf of EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music, and Warner Music in the amount of $150,000 for each of the 11 million songs that were downloaded from June to October of 2006. That comes to a lawsuit totaling $1.65 trillion!

NASA is drawing up a shortlist of ideas to be unveiled early next year for diverting a 40m-ton asteroid that is on course to pass dangerously close to Earth.

Nasa’s idea is to engineer a minor shift in its trajectory that would make the asteroid miss Earth by a wider margin on this and all subsequent passes. Under one possible plan, a robotic craft would be sent to the asteroid to attempt to alter its course. One option might be to install a propulsion system on the surface to nudge it onto a new course.

しかしそこで働く人たちは、最後に僕が訪れたときほど興奮してるように見えない。誰も「僕らには世界を変える使命がある！」とはもう言わない。今じゃ彼らは、「ああ、オプションが確定するまで、もう6ヶ月ここでブラブラするつもりなんだ」とか「僕としては今のグループを抜けたいんだけど、他のどのグループももっとひどいんじゃないか心配でね」と言っているんだ。

２つ目の記事は、10日くらい前にdiggやらTechmemeに載ってたやつだね。「Once again you’ve written a sensationalistic piece based on cursory research that only serves to confirm your preconceived notions about the world.｣なんてコメントも付いていたから、真実のほどは分からないけど、1つ目の方は、｢梅田望夫｣に｢薫陶を受けている｣くらいの人が書いているくらいだから、この後の展開もまぁ大体想像がつくわな。
