Things for D’s research.
Another batch of links. Be sure to watch the video article: The Courage to Say No – Israeli soldiers refuse to participate in the illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories. Whatever your opinion on the existence of the state of Israel, or the Palestine conflict, it presents some thoughts worth considering.

Another week’s worth of links for you. Of particular note this week are a two studies: Smarter Teams Are More Sensitive, Have More Women? and Empathy’s failures. They’re both interesting in and of themselves, but they’re also interesting because they demonstrate that our beliefs about how society functions are flawed: the first demonstrates that group intelligence isn’t a simple matter of getting a bunch of smart people together, the second demonstrates a paradox in how criminal punishments are meted out. Have a peruse through and let me know what you think.

A bit heavy on the Politics this week, I’m afraid. Seems it’s politics season in the US, though, so it should wind down in about a month. Lots of good links in here, of course, but The Elements Of Style: UNIX As Literature is particularly notable (if a bit dated). Some interesting points, at least, to think about.

In keeping with the idea that I need to publish these more often, here are a bunch of links which are interesting / worth reading. Enjoy!

Another batch of links for you today. If you read nothing else, be sure to read Email’s Dark Side: 10 Psychology Studies. Of course, there are lots more in here of interest, though, so click away!

If you haven’t been following the issue of location privacy, The Government Can Use GPS to Track Your Moves is a good place to start. Do have a peek. The rest of the links are also of interest, of course, but only if you’re of the thinking sort.

A bit fewer links this week, as I’ve actually managed to stick with the schedule and get these out on a Friday evening, rather than hoarding them until there are too many to really process. I hope that you enjoy them, and have time to peruse them over the weekend! An article not in the links, because it was shared with me, is Jon Carroll’s article, in which he puts a spotlight onto some of the location privacy issues brought about by FaceHook’s recent move to encourage users to share their geolocation with the world. It’s worth a read, I think, particularly if you’re not aware of the issue of geolocation privacy.
Enjoy!

And another batch of links for you. The big thing this week has been the Google/Verizon negotiations with regards to Net Neutrality. As always, there are some really good reads in here, or at least I think so.
I’m trying to keep on top of these – not just reading them, but passing them along. Hope they’re of benefit.

If you haven’t ever visited XKCD, I cannot recommend it more highly. Be sure to hover over the pictures, to get the little bit of snark which pops up with each one.
A few of my recent favorites are Workaround, More Accurate, Bag Check, Tech Support Cheat Sheet, and Idiocracy.
As usual, a batch of links, below. Enjoy!
Another batch of links for your consumption.
