When we posted Dr. Boyce’s Op-Ed yesterday about Tyler Perry, we weren’t really braced for the kind of debate it would ignite in our twitter-sphere (yes, that’s a word). It got so heated that for some it was almost grounds for some harsh words both to us and all that weren’t on their team.

Her, along with Rikku, and newcomer Paine, are “Sphere” hunters named the “Gullwings”. Although seemingly out of character for the quiet, determined girl-next-door [...]

Bloomberg today pumped out a chart that shows the erosion of Nokia’s market cap over the last 10 years. Moreso, it also shows how Apple has seemingly switched places with the Finnish phone maker.
10 years ago (back when screens were greyscale, ringtones were beepy, batteries lasted over a week, and I rocked a Nokia 8210), [...]

It’s been pretty low-key, so we totally understand if you haven’t heard anything about it yet, but it turns out there’s a next-gen iPhone floating around somewhere outside Apple’s sphere of reality-distorting influence. We’ll spare you the backstory there, but Gizmodo saw fit to do a little non-destructive (more on that in a moment) teardown [...]

From the pan flutes in the soundtrack to the stony jungle themed graphics, Quadion Technologies pulled me into this puzzle game that is unlike anything I have ever played.
The game board itself is 8×6 square grid minus one random square of debris. Your game pieces are stone squares (runes) that have a piece of trail running from [...]

The underpants bomber was an engineer. So were eight of the 25 terrorists involved in 9/11. In fact, half of all known “violent jihadists” reach higher education, and 44 percent of them are engineers. Uh, that looks like a pattern.
Even though engineers are obviously highly prized by terrorist recruiters for their skills, the reason, according [...]
