Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 11/19/10
You’ve been busy. We get that. That’s why every Friday we collect the week’s best links from all over the Internet and give them to you in one tidy, hermetically-sealed blog post. After just a few weeks of these, you’ll be smarter, thinner, more handsome/beautiful and your kids will get better grades.
We totally made that last sentence up. And the hermetically-sealed part. Sorry for lying.
But, onward:
SciAm’s John Horgan makes the case that some areas of science are going in the wrong direction. Among them: curing disease, research on the origin of life and space colonization.
Sacha Goldberger’s 91-year-old grandmother was depressed. So the French photographer did what any good grandson would do: shot a set of outrageous photographs with his grandmother as a superhero. After everything was said and done, there was no trace of depression. None. Moral: break your habits. Be silly. Explore. Grow.
Rovio’s Angry Birds development team on the issues with developing for Android. Don’t miss the comments.
Here’s the trailer for Cowboys & Aliens. Can’t wait. (See the cast/production/direction lineup? A-list.)
What it’s like to work at Apple.
David Pogue on Google TV [beware the paywall]. Key excerpt — This much is clear: Google TV may be interesting to technophiles, but it’s not for average people. On the great timeline of television history, Google TV takes an enormous step in the wrong direction: toward complexity. I’ve seen Sony’s Google TV in Best Buy and the remote control alone would be menacing to most.
Rage HD for iPhone/iPad. Imagine going back to 2002 and showing this to someone. Running on your cell phone. Amazing.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
