There's a whale that has been swimming alone since 1992 because its song doesn't get any response from other whales
Surely this poor bugger can be fitted with a sort of “auto tune” device that will tweak his voice lower do he can have buddies? Shame!
Joe Paterno
Sad to see this chap has died - being not American, it doesn’t affect me, but i think it’s sad that this guy had an amazing career for 40 year-odd, was beloved by everyone in the nation (They affectionately called him “Joe Pa”), and then right at the very end, he handled a situation a bit poorly, was fired in disgrace and died shortly thereafter.
What a short, sharp ending to a man’s life, huh?
If you died today, how would your story end?
Photography pioneer Kodak files for bankruptcy
Sad to see a company founded in 1880 close it’s doors.

New Logo for DC Comics. Pretty cool. What I like most about it is the explanation of why they used the folded over ‘D’ - it represents the duality of the characters. Clever observation! All their characters have this duality - Batman, Superman, Iron Man.

More about SOPA and PIPA – End Piracy, Not Liberty – Google
This is a great 2 minute read for Google about why SOPA and PIPA are bad news. Interesting if you aren’t sure what the fuss is all about with this Internet free speech thing.
Google’s homepage today.
Isn’t it fascinating that as we in South Africa fight against government efforts to muzzle our print media, abroad they are digging governments attempts to muzzle free speech on the net.
Our leaders certainly are not transparent or comfortable with scrutiny, are they?
Woah, Wikipedia actually did it - it’s blacked out today to protest attempts to throttle free speech on the internet. Pretty huge move from a major website!
Check it out!

Cupertino high school student Angela Zhang may know the cure for cancer: As a freshman, she started reading doctoral-level papers on biological engineering. By her sophomore year in high school, she managed to convince Stanford University to let her use their laboratories, and by junior year, she began doing her own research that led her to develop a recipe that boggles even her chemistry teacher.
Zhang’s recipe won her a $100,000 award at a national science competition sponsored by Siemens.
Her method of curing cancer by aiming an infrared light at mutated cells killed cancer in mice; it will be a few more years before it can be determined if the method works in humans. Nevertheless, Zhang’s three years of research is considered a breakthrough. [CBS News]](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxsu4exPTy1qz5ew6o1_250.png)
