• “We Believe that Anyone Suspected of War Crimes Should Be Thoroughly Investigated” — Jack Balkin – Haha, good one.
• The Curse of Cheap Money — Barry Ritholtz – Another great chart illustrating another important cause of the current crisis.
• “Space Internet” to Link Worlds by 2011? — National Geographic – The future — that is, the rather distant future — of humanity lies beyond this planet. Consider this piece of news the first of many in that direction.
• Fog Catchers Harvest Air’s Water in Arid Places — National Geographic – Very cool.
• Paperless Books: E-Paper Makes Headway — Scientific American – Step by step into a brave new world…
• Shell Shock: Turtle Development Secret Revealed — Scientific American – I love turtles. That is all.
• Neuroquote #4 — Ryan Sager – Quote of the day, though it probably helps to be a probability-nerd to appreciate it.
• Law Will Let Afghan Husbands Starve Wives Who Withhold Sex — The Independent/UK (via Common Dreams) – Send more troops…that’ll take care of it.
• Meet Baitullah Mehsud — Abu Muqawama – It is a very interesting profile and worth a read, but Abu Muqawama’s point is important and accurate. We can’t stop terrorism just by killing enough of them, unless we are prepared to wipe out the entire Middle East — and I think we can all agree that that is morally wrong, too expensive, and just plain stupid.
