POPSBloomington Rejects 'You Can Be Good Without God'; Lawsuit Underway Belief in Gods isn’t a precondition to being good. In fact, I’d wager people who don’t believe are often more moral because they’re not just doing things for a divine reward or because they’re afraid of the divine Hell punishment if they don’t. Conversely, I have many religious friends who are moral, honest and caring people whom I have a hard time believing would regress into immoral, nasty people if their religion disappeared.

POPSBBC News: Asia must cut export dependency This article makes a valid point, but it bothers me so many economists and analysts still assume "GDP growth" automatically equals less poverty. Economic growth measured by GDP per capita is not the be all, end all solution to lowering income inequality and raising average standards of living, and it never has been.

POPSTwitter has a low retention rate... so? The internet is a fickle thing, what's true today isn't true tomorrow, and one can't draw parallels between viewership of traditional media and websites. Ratings (sorry, "retention rates") like this mean squat. There are many legitimate concerns one could raise about Twitter, but marketing speak like this ain't one of them.

POPSIntel launches new chip logos I really disliked their last ones, I think these ones have some class. Unfortunately the days where you could tell the performance of a system just be looking at a sticker are long gone, CPUs are only a small part of the equation now.

POPSChina spies on Aussie PM's emails I admit to being an unabashed greenie, but I have to admit things like this scare me more than nukes. I worry for each exposed action there are plenty more going under the radar. Cold War 2.0?

POPSAbout Last.fm Funny how these things change isn't it? Wonder how long it will be before their About page is edited now that they've sold out and don't care about democratic and independent music?
