I've fallen for the Nouveau hype in years past, only to realize after the initial excitement has faded that it's more like drinking (expensive) juice than anything. Or I've accidentally let a bottle linger in my wine rack for too long, only to discover that above all, Nouveau must be drunk early.

YouTube - MontyPython's Channel	entertainment

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.     We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.     No more of those crap quality videos you've been posting. We're giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.     What's more, we're taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what's even more, we're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there! Comments: 0   Hits: 54   Points: 161535   Rating: 7.3 / 3   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

When you don't want to be Facebook friends	the wired

Social networking sites such as Facebook have experienced phenomenal growth in the past year, according to market researcher comScore. Facebook is now the No. 1 social networking site, with more than 120 million active users, and its fastest growing demographic is those 25 and older.     But with so many opportunities these days to connect with people online, some are confronting a question they thought they had left behind during their awkward adolescent years: What if I don't want to be your friend?     “It’s really odd when suddenly your past comes out and finds you,” said Troy Sandal, 38, of San Francisco, who says he’s been contacted recently by former high school classmates. His 20-year high school reunion was held over the summer, although he did not attend. “To be honest, I had two friends in high school and I kept in touch with one.” Comments: 8   Hits: 61   Points: 159879   Rating: 7.7 / 4   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

7 Incredible Pimped Office Cubicles	work sucks
Link #142211 submitted by bear on Nov 20, 2008 07:02am.   (+220XP) http://www.calibre-furniture.co.uk/pimped-office-cubicles.php
Bland, unimaginative office furniture is an all too common occurrence in offices around the world and surely the most depressing part of the worker's average day is the office cubicle. Designed in order to (cheaply) cram as many human beings into a room as possible whilst also giving a false sense of privacy, the majority of office cubicles look the same apart from a couple of family photographs and a calendar.     However, some creative/bored people see the cubicle as an opportunity - either a blank canvas on which to build a truly unique workspace or an invite to wind-up workmates through a surprise redesign. We've assembled a few of the most creative and/or humorous examples of pimped office cubicles for you to look at whilst you're at work.

Researchers Disagree on Bias	blinded by science

Last year, a team of researchers at Harvard made headlines with an experiment testing unconscious bias at hospitals. Doctors were shown the picture of a 50-year-old man — sometimes black, sometimes white — and asked how they would treat him if he arrived at the emergency room with chest pains indicating a possible heart attack. Then the doctors took a computer test intended to reveal unconscious racial bias. Comments: 0   Hits: 30   Points: 159076   Vote Now!   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

The 40 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time (with youtube)	entertainment

It's fashionable to lament the state of the TV theme song. Gone are the days when a show's whole premise was summed up in musical verse before every episode. Now we have Lost and it's single chord. And though I actually like Lost's simple spooky chime and have recently highlighted the 12 Best TV Theme Songs From Current Shows, there's no denying we're past the golden age of the TV show theme song.     Take a look at the following list, and let me know where I'm wrong. I've included music without words, but I skipped over shows that used already popularized tunes like "The William Tell Overture" from The Lone Ranger and "Stand" from Get a Life.

Revenge Gifts	the "other" pile

Welcome to Revenge Gifts and Happy Holidays! The holiday season is traditionally busy for Revenge-Gifts.com. My year round gifts, the allergy pillows, seasonal urns, metallic boxers and other products are designed with long term effects in mind. For Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza and whatever other pagan holiday my sick and twisted patrons may participate in (which all seem to require gifts) I break out the short-attention-span, land-fill-destined, one-shot-deal gifts. These are gifts that express how the giver truly feels about the giving season of bad lawn ornaments, annoying twinkle lights and family gatherings spawned in hell. If a gift is obligatory, allow me to assist in expressing your level of disdain for the recipient. It’s what I do best. Comments: 0   Hits: 87   Points: 156865   Vote Now!   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

Last Friday a couple hundred gays and their friends chased a small group of young Christian preachers out of the Castro, calling them "bigots" and chanting "Don’t come back!"     I wish I’d been there.     The video of the event, or rather part of the event, has now been posted on YouTube, along with a written account by one of the preachers, who claims that they were both physically and sexually assaulted.     "It wasn’t long before the violence turned to perversion. They were touching and grabbing me, and trying to shove things in my butt, and even trying to take off my pants - basically trying to molest me..."     Unfortunately for him the video doesn’t capture any of this particular "molestation," but our little gay uprising has predictably garnered both scorn and ridicule, and our community is accused of hostility and intolerance, and all weekend I wrestled with my conscience over the primal anger that still sweeps through me when I watch this video.

APEC leaders to push trade as way out of crisis	current events

One idea gaining traction ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Peru is to forge a regional free-trade zone from existing bilateral pacts of APEC's 21 members, a diverse lot that also includes Russia, Mexico, Australia, Canada and Indonesia.     Leaders of the world's biggest economies last week called for rapid economic stimulus packages to stabilize financial markets and for new efforts to reach a global free trade deal.     President George W. Bush and the leaders of other APEC countries, which together account for more than half of global economic output, will use their summit to push again for a deal under the so-called Doha round of world trade talks.
