Inside the Secret Science of Packing Material

We gadget freaks obsess over gear, big and small: cameras, phones, notebooks, desktops, home theater speakers, HDTVs, and much more. But how often do we pay attention to the technology surrounding our gear, the packing material that keeps it safe?

Welcome to Armageddon – A Tour of America’s Most Toxic Town

Picher sprang up as a 20th-century boomtown—the “buckle” of the mining belt that ran through Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. The earth underneath it produced most of the lead for US bullets in World Wars I and II and enough zinc to literally galvanize construction of the American suburbs. These raw materials were used to create stronger, water-resistant metal alloys, better batteries, and dietary supplements—the base materials of a modern society. Population peaked at 14,000 in 1926.

Judge Judy knocks Oprah off top spot

“Judge Judy” was daytime’s top-rated show last season — knocking “Oprah” off its perch for the first time since the 2000-2001 TV season.

For the 2009-10 season, “Judge Judy” averaged 6.5 million viewers — 600,000 more viewers, on average, than “Oprah,” according to Nielsen. The two shows go head to head at 4 p.m. here in New York (“Judy” on Ch. 2, “Oprah” on Ch. 7).

Carrier Pigeons Faster Than Internet In Rural England

Here’s a funny stunt: To show how slow Internet speeds are in the rural parts of the UK, a guy raced carrier pigeons carrying memory cards against a YouTube upload. The carrier pigeons were faster!

The organizer of the stunt, Tref Davies, released two pigeons carrying a five-minute video on memory cards from a farm in Yorkshire, England. They flew more than 120km, and by the time they reached their destination only 24% of the 300MB video had been uploaded to YouTube.
