Cool: Nest, the nerd's thermostat
So...cool. Machine learning, to save us money. And, it looks awesome and spacey....
Op-Ed: Stop wearing bike helmets, society is healthier
Interesting. 'Falls' where a helmet would prevent injury are 'rare.' And, the stigma with not wearing one prevents many from biking at all, leading to higher rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Interesting take.

SCOTUS: unwilling DUI suspect/blood test/warrant need case taken
Damn short titles.
The court decided to hear a case on whether or not a warrant is needed to perform a blood test on an unwilling DUI suspect. FTA (buried at the bottom) - 'The court also: � Agreed to decide when law enforcement officers must get a warrant before ordering a blood test on an unwilling drunken-driving suspect. The Missouri Supreme Court said police need a warrant to take a suspect's blood except in special circumstances when a delay could threaten a life or destroy potential evidence. Other courts have ruled that dissipation of alcohol in the blood is reason enough for police to call for a blood test without first getting a warrant.'

News: OK student in trouble for wearing Michigan T-shirt
I'm confused. Why do you care? Are you really saying that his liking an out of state school (or maybe, god forbid, their sports team?) should prevent him from his education? Go ahead, Oklahoma. Take back the I'm-the-dumbest-state title from Texas.

News: Ecuador to grant Wikileaks' Julian Assange political asylum
Interesting twist. He's actually running from a supposed sexual assault case in Sweden. BREAKING: Britain has threatened to storm the embassy to arrest him.

Survey: WiFi fees drag down hotel satisfaction
Clearly. I've been saying this for years. It's EXPECTED now. When most low-cost hotels offer free WiFi, it feels wrong for the more 'luxury' brands to charge for it.
