Steve Jobs responsible for i-i-i Generation, says chief rabbi

The world is more twisted than a neurotic pretzel. Human beings increasingly regard other human beings as if they are closely related to the cockroach.

Why might that be? Our naturally aggressive and selfish nature, as Stephen Hawking describes it? Our complete inability to communicate with each other with entire honesty and complete sentences?

Or is it all Steve Jobs' fault?

No, it is not I who am raising this possibility. It is Britain's chief rabbi, Lord Sacks. As the Daily Mail's ringing ears describe it, the Chief Rabbi gave a speech this week, at which the Queen … Read more

Adult diapers in Japan turned into fuel

Can older incontinent people be a source of new energy? Absolutely, says Japanese automation firm Super Faiths. In a society where elder care is a growth industry, the company has developed a series of recycling machines that turn used diapers--a bulk of them the adult variety--into fuel for biomass boilers and stoves.

We've seen machines that recycle office reports into toilet paper. Well, Super Faith's SFD Recycle System machines address the malodorous problem of tons of used diapers from hospitals and nursing homes going into landfills or being incinerated as waste.

The machines automatically shred, dry, and sterilize … Read more

Yellowstone dominated by geothermal activity

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK--If there's any doubt that more visitors to this treasure of nature check out Old Faithful than anything else, all you need to do is compare the size of the world-famous geyser's parking lot to that of any other place in the park.

But while Old Faithful may be synonymous with Yellowstone geothermal activity in most visitors' minds, it is, in fact, just one of hundreds of geysers, hot pools, mud pots, hot springs, and steam vents scattered throughout the park. And on Road Trip 2009, I set out to explore the lesser-known members of the … Read more

'Effortless perfection': Much Photoshopping required

Girls and women are under all sorts of pressure to look perfect--and to make it look easy in the process. Duke University identified this new unattainable standard as "effortless perfection."

As individual women, it can be easy to wonder why we fall into the trap of trying to live up to an unattainable standard. It's something we absorb on an almost subconscious level. Deconstructing this month's Redbook magazine cover shows us just how manufactured the images of beauty we see really are.

I didn't think twice about the cover image of country singer and actress Faith Hill when I first saw it. But an untouched original photo obtained by Jezebel shows just how much "digital magic" even a certified star needs to be ready for her close-up. … Read more
