Also, 50 years after the character was created scientists have finally caught up with Peter Parker and recreated spider silk by transferring key spider genes into silkworms which are far easier to farm the substance out of.

Hank Paulson’s inside jobs -- Felix Salmon →
Paulson was giving inside tips to Wall Street in general, and to Goldman types in particular: exactly the kind of behavior that “Government Sachs” conspiracy theorists have been speculating about for years. Turns out, they were right.
Paulson, says Teitelbaum, “is now a distinguished senior fellow at the University of Chicago, where he’s starting the Paulson Institute, a think tank focused on...

STOP SOPA, SAVE THE INTERNET - Boing Boing →
These bills represent a major blow to openness and freedom on the Internet, free speech rights, and the fabric of the Internet itself. If SOPA is allowed to pass, the Internet and free speech will never be the same again.

You blew the second chance you got with TARP to re-enter society as a productive component of commerce. You went back to bonus-swilling, full-retard mode as though nothing ever happened and 13 million people weren’t sitting around in their post credit-bubble joblessness for three years now. Your tone-deafness and utter disconnection from the rest of the country has produced something...

As many of you know, I’m not the most active person. So the idea of me running a marathon is quite ridiculous. However, I’ve found a marathon I’m pretty sure I CAN do, and I get to help out some awesome kids.
On Oct. 15, 2011, I’m attempting to play video games for 24 hours straight. I’m participating with my friends Allen, Justin and Toby in the annual 24-hour...
