POPSFriendfeed the Next Google?! Steve Rubel makes an interesting argument. For me the last paragraph in the story says it all...the founders know how to scale a product like this; they were all team members at Google and helped to launch such products as Google Maps, Adsense, GMail and Google Groups.

POPSNo Time to Hate the Patriots As a Steeler fan, I am predisposed to have nothing but visceral contempt for the New England Patriots. After two devastating home losses in the AFC Championship Game, Steeler fans often feel like the franchise could have 7 championships by now. That was then, this is now. This edition of the New England Patriots is absolutely unbelievable. While it is certain that any team can lose on any given Sunday, this is probably the most dominant team I've ever seen - and that includes the Dynasty Era Steelers, the Joe Montana-led San Francisco 49ers and the 1985 Chicago Bears. The Patriots have elite personnel on both sides of the ball and a singular focus that has that at the edge of history. This is no time to hate the Patriots. Watch every minute because you may not see this again. (Yes, it does hurt to write that.)

POPSTrace Your Health Roots: Share it with your doctor. The Surgeon General offers a free computer program called "My Family Health Portrait." It helps create a picture of your family's health history. Consider sharing the report with your doctor. The actual online program is at the second website in the clip.

POPSTone Deafness Explained Cont'd: Some experts believe there’s a great deal of overlap between how the brain handles music and how it handles speech, which also has elements of pitch and rhythm. Others, though, believe that musical perception and thinking occur separately from other functions, and that our brains are predisposed toward developing centers and networks dedicated exclusively to music. If you want to test your ability to perceive music, the Harvard Health Letter refers readers to an online test at http://www.delosis.com/listening developed by researchers at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England.

POPSAre we born to be racist? Computer modelling shows that being groupist is the best strategy. I wrote this post after reading a fascinating, thought-provoking New Scientist article about the implications of this for racism, which I think merits discussion. If we're inclined to be groupist, I propose that "looks like me" is the obvious grouping method and as skin colour is the most obvious feature - that's why we may be genetically predisposed to be racist.

POPSPat Boone on evolution Nothing really new here, but it is interesting that WorldNutDaily is starting to pull in some intellectual heavyweights (relatively speaking).

POPSGene mutation and alcoholism. Are you a G allele carrier of an A allele carrier. Just what the heck is the difference. Well, it could determine if you are predisposed to becoming an alcoholic and possibly a drug addict too.
