The ending of this clip is such a Daily Show trademark.

So why doesn't our country believe in evolution?

It's an interesting topic, the most innovative and scientific country in the world, providing funding for scientific research that dwarfs that of other countries. Yet only 40% of us accept evolution as fact. However some of that 40% also believe that evolution had a helping hand from a deity. Curious, no?

New Scientist has an article up with some more intriguing information.

With school coming up soon its important to have certain programs and services handy on your workstation. Heres four things all students need in school:

1. Meebo
An ajax solution to multiple IM standards and programs, allows users to sign into their AIM, yahoo, msn, jabber, and Gtalk screen names in one simple browser based web app. Hint: can be used to talk to your friends during school provided the webmaster hasnt blocked it.

2. Writely
Web-based word processor that stores all your work server side so you'll have access to all your essays from anywhere. Hint: When you don't finish your english analytical essay the night before you wont need to transfer to a hard copy (i.e.CD or floppy)

3. WorkFriendly
Just type a url into work friendly and itll generate a microsoft office page that lets you surf the web while making it look like your working. Hint: If your in tech drawing...

4. iProcrastinate
A management program for homework and projects, what more could you want?
Hint: Caity Erikson you need this program.

This is by far the best internal component setup i've ever seen, though, to be honest I have only ever used Gateways and eMachines.

Linux XGL/Compiz

"Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users with special needs. Compiz combines together a window manager and a composite manager using OpenGL for rendering. A 'window manager' allows the manipulation of the multiple applications and dialog windows that are presented on the screen. A 'composite manager' allows windows and other graphics to be combined together to create composite images. Compiz achieves its stunning effects by doing both of these functions."

Needless to say everything in the video is being run on advanced graphic cards, however these are the same cards upon which windows vista's aero and Apple's Aqua are based.
You can read the original article and see this video as well as Aero & Aqua demos by clicking this sentence.

Politics? A famil business?

You decide.

I have discovered yet another blogging community, its name, Vox.

Its not open to the general public just yet but you can register and wait for an invite. Ive only been playing around with it for a few minutes but it really seems to offer some great tools for maintaining your blog. Such as the video feature which gives you options to import video from youtube, amazon, or ifilm. And of course straight from your hard drive. Heres what my current vox looks like.

Try it.
