Couples With Math Skills End Up Wealthier

I am not sure what the criteria was for this study but being stupid and making $200k is still pretty damn good for a couple of dumbasses.

Researchers found that when both spouses correctly answered three math questions, family wealth averaged $1.7 million. That compared with $200,000 for households where neither spouse answered any question correctly.

Legibility, of course, is a matter of degree, but given that NYU computer science professor Ken Perlin’s tiny font can fit 500 words into a 320 x 240 pixel rectangle, I am surprised at how readable it remains. “My design,” he explains, “assumes that screen pixels are horizontal striped as RGBRGB, as are most LCD screens these days.”

Snails on Meth

Snails on speed don’t get speedier—but their supercharged brains do learn better and make memories that last much longer, a new study says.

Scientists gave pond snails the amphetamine crystal meth to explore the memory-related brain processes that get humans so hooked on the drug.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hackers

It looks like the scumbag scammers are out in full force trying to take advantage of Harry Potter fans. Don’t even try to pretend like you don’t know someone that wouldn’t click on a scam-link to get early access to a Harry Potter flick. We all know someone that would.

First, a fan searches for information for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online. Results claiming to offer a free download of the movie appear in the search results. Users are directed to complete “offers” asking them to give away personal information or download a potentially malicious toolbar that may collect personal IDs and passwords.
