“British researchers on Wednesday revealed that iPhones (and 3G-enabled iPads) keep track of where you go, including timestamps, on a file that is backed up on your computer and shifted onto any new iPhone or iPad you get. Apple hasn’t said why the file is created or whether the tracking can be prevented.”

“Under the assumptions of the model, there is a unique effort policy that takes the initial feeling x0 to the unique equilibrium E. This is achieved by setting the initial effort at point A to get onto the stable manifold Ws+ and then following path AE to approach equilibrium. Trajectories starting above Ws+ (e.g. at point A′) are not acceptable. The target trajectory AE always lies above the line c = c*. The relationship is viable provided that the effort gap c♥(t)−c* is tolerable along the transition to equilibrium, that must also satisfy xs♥>xmin. Furthermore, since the target trajectory AE is unstable, trajectories starting at lower effort levels (e.g. at point A″) depart from AE and eventually lead to abandon effort (setting c = 0).”
hm.

duminica, aniversarea nestiuta a unei alte institutii care ne-a remodelat societatea: pilula contraceptiva implineste oficial 50 de ani.
in context, meditatiile agresiv-depresive ale lui meden agan.
“imaginea femeii e degradată (totul a fost îndepărtat până la gradul zero, literalmente din ideea de femeie au mai rămas o pereche de fese)”
really, monşer…

“in every region investigated, researchers have found that as pornography has increased in availability, sex crimes have either decreased or not increased.”
“What does correlate highly with sex offense is a strict, repressive religious upbringing.”
side-dishes:
“The Internet is a rich source, with 40 million adults regularly visiting porn Web sites, and more than one-quarter of regular users downloading porn at work.”
“9.4 million women in the United States accessed online pornography Web sites in the month of September 2003”

…coming soon, says Intel: FMRI-based sensing chip implanted into the skull.
for some obscure reasons, I don’t buy this.
