    Thanks for sharing! Most pics are very very nice, but a few are actually pretty mediocre I must say... "Wildlife" photography is always a rather tricky topic, as demonstrated by this famous story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8470962.stm

    This journal publishes failed scientific attempts, experiments, theories. There seems to be a peer review process behind it.
  • Christos Ampatzis on 02 Oct 11
     
    OK more to the fun side, but I often think it is not a bad idea to publish "failed" research

    No matter how much BS is in it (don't have expertise to tell), the reaction of the NYC Diamond Dealers Club president cited at the bottom is just hilarious.

    seems a bit weird and highly speculative... but yes this reaction is excellent ! haha. Diamond from outer space would be a bit more expensive than one found by a poor african kid anyway...

  • The fact that T-Mobile and/or Microsoft Danger don’t have a redundant backup is simply inexcusable, especially given the fact that the Sidekick is totally reliant on the cloud because it doesn’t store its data locally.
