POPSThe Fallacy Files I clipped this before, but pop restrictions burried the clip. In a very naive hope to keep discussions fallacy-free, better the debate and stimulate some self-criticism, I'm re-sharing this with you all. Anyway, the resource is huge, examples abundant, explications very clear and even etymological grounded.

POPSGoogle tells engineers to slow down. "They created a bunch of crap that they have no idea what to do with," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst of the Enderle Group." I think this is big news. Their approach has always been to give engineers freedom (if not incentive) to innovate. Will be fascinating to see how this affects the culture inside google.

POPSEvangelicals Fear the Loss of Their Teenagers Interesting article. I like how they point to MTV & yout cuture as culprits.. probably rightly so. Kids these days have soo much access to information, so much ability to communicate with other kids from around the country and around the world, and such mixed messages from media, etc it's not hard to see why this is happneing.

POPSEarliest "Calendar Entry" discovered in Mexico This is a very important update for BitDrifter's clip about Aztec finds. The CNN story, which was the source of the clip only mentioned about an altar belonged to 16th century Aztec empire. But, on this AP story, it appears that the Aztec findings was relatively less important and the "big thing" of the archaeologists found was a glyphed calendar entry, believed to be carved around 700 BCE! If proved, this would make it an outstanding discovery in Mesoamerica archaeology, because it outdates the earliest samples by hundreds of years!
