Yuck. There shouldn't be another. Hell, there shouldn't have been a 4th.

Cool: Skyhook was a real thing!

Wait wait wait. This was...real?!? Holy $#!7, Batman! That is truly awesome. I still want to know how going from 0-125m.p.h. in an instant doesn't snap your neck. Flex in the wire? Stretching of the harness? I wish I had more time to investigate.

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.'
