This Is the Warmest Year Ever Recorded (PICS)
Aug 16th
It’s official. The nerdy guys who study this stuff say that, so far, 2010 is the warmest year ever recorded. Click through for pictures of which countries are getting hit the hardest.
…Rationality says:
“I’m fairly certain people with an IQ of more than 3 (obviously not including yourself), will understand, based on the headline and actually reading the article, that this is referring to recorded temperatures. Idiot.”It seems someone doesn’t seem to understand how controlled the media is. Temperature records have been in existence since before the 1820’s. Even in such a relatively small frame of time such as 190 years, the Earth has seen hotter average temperatures than it is experiencing now. To say that this is the “hottest on record” is only accurate if you are referring to time between now and about 1880, which is the most commonly displayed time at which National weather institutes currently display as there “Oldest” recordings. Institutes such as GISS USED to show records as far back as 1819 BUT quickly removed all recordings before 1880 after several publications in 2004 exploited the data and showed that, if referring to the complete table of records, there is no warming NOR…

Dexter Morgan Has Nothing on These Serial Killers
Aug 16th
Unlike Dexter, here’s a look at some simply cold-blooded killers.
…Dexter has nothing on them? Those people are disgusting, vial abominations. Dexter (the character) kills criminals, people whom hurt other people and other wise deserve their fate. I see the reason of bringing this topic up was just to compare the worst acts of the worlds most sickening people and Dexter’s name was just the means to get people to check it out.
Interesting to see the comparisons, but to say Dexter has nothing on them is absurd. If Dexter were real, those sick…

Will Ferrell’s Tour of The Future [PICs+VID]
Aug 6th
Where is the Future?
…It’s almost certain that the future will not have dog bark translators, rocket packs for everyone (dangerous idea), time travel (please!) and AI that takes over the universe and annihilates all carbon units (we will always be their masters). No need to despair though, because the future will be better. Much better.
.
Imagine vehicles that that can move silently at tremendous speeds without any visible means of propulsion and that can negotiate right angle turns without slowing down and without incurring any damage due to inertial effects. Imagine traveling from New York to Beijing in minutes, or earth to Mars in hours. Imagine floating above the rings of Saturn or the craters on Jupiter’s moon, Iapetus. Imagine unlimited clean energy for everybody and their pets and legions of robotic servants zipping around the earth and the solar system, tending to our every need and whim. Well, it will all happen in your lifetime and here is why.

SI Sends Out Army Of Peter Kings To Cover NFL Training Camp
Aug 6th
Looking to cover every possible angle of NFL training camp, Sports Illustrated has once again unleashed its army of 350,000 Peter King clones on the preseason workout facilities of all 32 NFL teams.
…NEW YORK Looking to cover every possible angle of NFL training camp, Sports Illustrated has once again unleashed its army of 350,000 Peter King clones on the preseason workout facilities of all 32 NFL teams.
Marching in lockstep, dressed in identical turquoise polo shirts and khaki pants while carrying reporter’s notebooks in their left hands, the legion of indistinguishable sports journalists all reportedly maintain the same smile 24 hours a day, blink at the exact same time, and ask football-related questions in unison.
According to Sports Illustrated officials, there are currently 10,000 Peter King clones at each NFL training camp, with the remaining 30,000 assigned to Terrell Owens.
“The King simulacra are a very effective journalism tool,” Sports Illustrated’s assistant managing editor B.J. Schecter told reporters Friday, adding that no single human being could file six extensive training-camp reports in a one-week span. “At any given moment we might receive 84,000 different news items from 20 different…

iPod Causes 17 Accidents a Day in the UK
Aug 6th
Apple’s iPod has been singled out as the reason for more than 17 accidents per day in the UK. The situation has been dubbed “iPod Oblivion”: people so “into” what’s playing on their iPod that they ignore the world around them, necessarily leading to accidents.
…Ipods, cell phones, radios, air conditioners, the person sitting next to you, the dog in the back seat, the neon sign you are driving by. There are tons of distractions out there, it comes down to how much time you give them. Anyone who is too busy playing with their ipod deserves a low speed accident. Not only is it not safe, but its just plain stupid. Some people have no concept of when to say when. 1-2 soconds (not that I’m condoning it) is not reckless and stupid. Anything more than that though and you are just begging for it. Dont blame the machines, blame the people who cant prioritize their attention when needed….

HP CEO Mark Hurd resigns over sex scandal!
Aug 6th
Word just broke that Mark Hurd, the CEO of HP resigned due to a sexual harassment investigation! Whoa.
…Lesjak has asked to be excluded, and HP declined to answer if Jon Rubinstein was being considered when we asked.Update: We liveblogged the media call — check it after the break!
Update 2: A quick note from the investor call, which mostly repeated the same info — interim CEO Cathie Lesjak said that although Mark Hurd was a “strong leader, at the end of the day, he didn’t drive our initiatives — it was the organization that supported Mark in driving those initiatives.” Ouch — given Mark’s recent history of saying things like “we didn’t buy Palm to get into the smartphone business,” it certainly seems like he might have been a little disconnected.
3:32PM And that’s it! There’s an investor call coming up, we’ll let you know if we hear anything there.3:32PM PC Mag: Any litigation here? HP: Nothing has been filed, we have an agreement with Mark in place.
3:32PM Next question (from us!): Will Jon Rubinstein be considered for the CEO position? HP: We’re not identifying any candidates at this time.
3:31PM…

Aug 6th
Upon reading the letters, shift supervisor Doug Kirchoff and his crew discovered they were written by the family of James Prosser, a soldier from Wales killed in Afghanistan in September 2009.
…messages, each individually wrapped and dry in an empty bottle.Upon reading the letters, Kirchoff and his crew discovered they were written by the family of James Prosser, a soldier from Wales killed in Afghanistan in September 2009.According to an article in the South Wales Argus newspaper, Prosser’s family had taken a vacation to Barbados in January of this year and, after writing the “heartfelt” letters to him and other family members, sent the bottle into the Caribbean Sea.”(James’) favorite drink was sambucca, so they had gone out to sea to take a toast,” Kirchoff said. When reading the letters, Kirchoff’s crew discovered the address of Sarah Adams, Prosser’s mother.Though the letters weren’t entirely readable, cleanup crew members were able to glean enough information for an Internet search for the soldier and his family. When they reached out to the newspaper earlier this week, it just so happened that the article’s author was having lunch with Adams, who will be celebrating her 43rd birthday…
