Another great episode from Radiolab, this one is dedicated to Alan Turing.
“When you ask for more information, explain what you need the information for, or at least be more specific what kind of “more information” you need. That way, you save everybody lots of time. The people answering your question don’t waste their time gathering information you don’t need (and gathering that information can be quite time-consuming), and you don’t waste your time sifting through all the information you don’t want.” — Raymond Chen on The Old New Thing Blog.
“At first this behavior might seem illogical. Why would the mouse prefer another shape when it knows there will be a reward if it goes toward the normal rectangle? The answer is that the mouse did not associate that particular rectangle with the reward. It associated the “rectangularity” with the reward.” —

Also, a TED Talk from VS Ramachandran

First I tried to change my notebook for Mobisle Notes and a great smartphone. I failed. The app is great and the phone is amazing (specially after rooting and installing Revolution InsertCoin) but that combination is not as smooth as pen and paper. Then I tried to change it for my lovely Asus Transformer and Evernote. I failed again. The Asus is the best tablet I have ever owned and Evernote is a great piece of software but I still feel limited and slow.
Pen and Paper FTW!
