    I know that Google is king in the search industry but this new 'heapr' claims to be faster.  It says it is powered by google.  The cool aspect is that it divides the screen in two columns and it currently searches twitter, wolfram and wikipedia.

The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics Education - 2 views

  • High school mathematics, then, is much like being given a set of Lego airplanes which have been carefully glued together. You may learn how they work, but you do not have the tools to disassemble them and you haven’t the faintest idea how to build a new one. Should you ever meet these airplanes again, your knowledge will be useful; otherwise, what’s the point? It’s just like an 8th-grader complaining that he’ll never use the quadratic equation again in his life.

Ben Thomas: What's Halfway Between 1 and 9? Kids and Scientists Say 3 - 0 views
