POPS"Gamers masturbateurs" Cette parody de pub Nintendo est bien"sentie"Sans generaliser,le gamer typique est celui qui est souvent seul,ou avec toujours les memes 2-3 amis. Etant donne que je suis rendu a 33 ans,je sais trops bien que les gamers nerds de qui la grande majorite se moquaient a la poly,s'en sont que trops bien sortis. D'introvertis qu'ils etaient,ils ont fleuris(!!!SNIF!SNIF!)et sont maintenant devenus ceux et celles qui dirigent(entreprises,office publique,etc...)Ce n'est pas une situation "sinequanum"mais appelons cela une tendance.

POPSBar review: 15 Romolo, San Francisco More: The vibe: Understated yet masculine, with reclaimed Douglas fir tables and muted hues of gray and brown. A corner jukebox stocks everything from Johnny Cash to M.I.A. The crowd: A flawless blend of sweet (wayward innocents from the Broadway strip) and tart (the almighty league of cocktail nerds). Best seat: Though Baird and Smith apparently wanted the space to have "egalitarian seating," where there's no best seat, the tables next to the windows that overlook Romolo alley are the best in the house, especially on warm nights, when you can gaze out at the North Beach street scene. Killer app: The 15 Romolo folks have dubbed their food seasonal carnival fare, with such tidbits as smoked pork sliders ($6) with cabbage slaw, jambalaya croquettes ($4) and funnel cakes ($5) sprinkled with powdered sugar. The crispy dogs ($6) feature Fatted Calf franks wrapped in corn tortillas and fried.

POPSThe Coming Superbrain Some more excerpts: not all humans of the industry are optimistic, "The computer designer and venture capitalist William Joy, for example, wrote a pessimistic essay in Wired in 2000 that argued that humans are more likely to destroy themselves with their technology than create a utopia assisted by superintelligent machines." And some worst fear is the Moses Syndrome being just one generation before: "Indeed, despite this high-technology heartland’s deeply held consensus about exponential progress, the worst fate of all for the Valley’s digerati would be to be the generation before the generation that lives to see the singularity; Kurzweil will probably die, along with the rest of us not too long before the ‘great dawn,’ ” said Gary Bradski, a Silicon Valley roboticist. “Life’s not fair.”

POPSType A Personalities Have the Edge in Baby-Making "That's because, as past studies have shown, the higher your intelligence, the less sex you tend to have — and, therefore, the fewer kids you will have. The last 20 years have been a golden era for dorks as video games and graphic novels and software engineering have become respectable, even mainstream. But in the end, the brutish football players who tormented them in high school will likely win in the merciless world of genetic favor."

POPSA Dark Doodad The Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) is almost always good for an interesting image, and I try to visit it daily. This particular item shows that present-day astronomers are: whimsical, nerds and growing deficient in poetry (not necessariy in that order).
