3. "Lifestreaming"

4. The real Panopticon?: "Subjects tested in a room with a mirror have been found to work harder, to be more helpful and to be less inclined to cheat, compared with control groups performing the same exercises in nonmirrored settings. Reporting in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, C. Neil Macrae, Galen V. Bodenhausen and Alan B. Milne found that people in a room with a mirror were comparatively less likely to judge others based on social stereotypes about, for example, sex, race or religion."

WOW, the fight was incredible! The colors were amazing! I have eaten crocodile meat and am not convinced it is worth the risk. The leopard must be very hungry or crazy. Why would he transgress into the water in the first place?

Oh man, leopard vs crocodile is the best! For the 6-year-old boy in all of us.

Maybe the subjects thought it was a two-way mirror?

Anyone else lose a bet they didn't think would ever be verifiable on the Leopard vs Crocodile?

The scariest part about the 'disappearing' article is the fear of CCTVs. What a horrible place England must, to be constantly worried about being spied upon.

In the future it will be impossible to disappear, or even be a fugitive. Every one of us sheds a million dead skin cells an hour; we leave a trail of genetic breadcrumbs floating behind us everywhere we go. The surveillance cameras and GPS-enabled ankle bracelets of today will be supplemented by the DNA sniffers or bloodhound-on-a-chip technology of tomorrow.
