Back, but braindead, so Linkety-linkety
Jan. 25th, 2010 06:14 pmAnd assemblage of links that've piled up in my inbox over the past week. I'm home, and cheerful but exhausted. Catching up on email now.
On 3D viewing not working for a substantial percentage of people -- several members of my family can't view them without insta-migraines. They don't mention it in the article, but I know there are others out there with the same problem, who are getting increasingly frustrated with the prevalence of 3D movies.
A good dissection of the "childhood obesity epidemic"
Skeptico on fraudulent "bomb detectors" being sold and used in Iraq
CBS is mighty selective in what counts under its "no advocacy ads" policy for Superbowl programming
More on the bullshit persecution against Tiller and his patients when he was alive (from the Kansas AG, no less)
Meta-analysis fails to find correlation between increased intake of saturated fats and cardiovascular disease
ethan_greer found a cool little app that'll turn your LJ into a book format
About legal protections, and lack thereof, at work (jajy1979, they go into MMPI testing, too)
Pseudo-science and Pseudo-sympathy in the Abortion and Breast Cancer Debate
Will Women's Medical Records End Up In the Hands of George Tiller's Killer? and A general roundup on the Roeder case
And I haven't checked it out yet, but apparently there's a geek dating site: http://www.gk2gk.com/ (actually, I know there are several others out there, too, but I hadn't seen this one before)
Simple cervical cancer test could save 100,000 women annually in rural and developing countries
