POPSSome updates to Clipmarks We've got a lot of great projects in the pipeline that we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks and months. We introduced some of these changes this week. If you click the source URL in this clip you'll see the blog post that outlines some of them. In addition to some new features, our work will primarily focus on accomplishing 3 things: (i) make the user interface of the site more intuitive and user friendly; (ii) strengthen the social aspects of the site (iii) make the site much faster and more reliable

POPSSupermarkets Throwing Away 2 Million Tons Of Food A Year We visited a dozen stores over several nights last week to check what was being thrown away and discovered hundreds of pounds worth of food dumped. At a Sainsbury’s superstore next to the Dome in Greenwich, South East London – the chain’s flagship “environmentally-friendly” shop with its own wind turbines – staff said it was standard practice to throw away food before its sell-by date. And they’re not even allowed to take it home. One said: “Someone just stands there and throws it into the skip. We wish we could buy it – but we’re not allowed.” Pointing to meat on the “reduced” shelf, he added: “Come midnight, anything that hasn’t been sold will get taken off the shelf... if it’s out of date it will be logged on the computer, put against our losses, then in the skip.” Four-pint bottles of milk with nine days still to run had been thrown out, along with nine cans of cola with a date stamp of April 2009.

POPSPat Tillman Murdered? Pat Tillman was an atheist. He was killed under suspicious circumstances. Could it be that they burned his diary to hide that his "men" got rid of him for his atheism?

POPSClipiversity Video Beta After we finished taping today's Clipiversity, Eric and I got to talking and realized that it wouldn't be that much harder to do a video show, and that there's just something compelling about seeing people on screen. We're thinking about making Clipiversity a daily video show next week. What do you think?

POPSPlastic made from plants I was just drinking an iced coffee and on the side of the cup it said something to the effect of "this cup is environmentally friendly and was made using plants." I was very curious, so checked out their web site. Seems like a very smart product that could/should hopefully take market share away from plastic.

POPSSeeds of a new manufacturing revolution I am following this technological trend for quite a while. It is very impressive and has the potential to allow developing countries to reach very high rates of economical growth in a relatively short time, and in a relatively environmental friendly method.
