  Again the need for a "sad but true" button.

  on Study: Gamers Better, Faster At Interpreting Visual Input
  All IQ tests show is that you can do an IQ test, nothing to do with "intelligence".
  
  The vast majority of IQ questions rely on pattern recognition questions.
  
  Personal example my uncle has an incredibly high IQ (measured by MENSA), but has been known on occasions to call an electrician to his house when a light-bulb has blown, not what I would call smart

  My reply from Ed Vaizey

  on UK Gov't's Response To Petition Against Disconnections: We've Redefined Disconnection
  Like Planespotter I received an reply from Ed Vaizey on the same subject and also recieved a reply to the petition: Collectively, the creative industries are a significant source of employment and national wealth creation, as well as almost uniquely delivering cultural and social benefits. They contribute 6.2% of GVA and have grown faster than the economy as a whole. These sectors have indicated that they suffer considerable losses from unlawful peer-to-peer file-sharing. The BPI claim P2P file-sharing costs the UK music industry £180m pa (2008) and IPSOS estimates a loss in the UK for TV and films of £152m (2007). Figures are not available for the losses from unlawful file-sharing in other content industries such as publishing, business software or computer games, but it is clear that they are all suffering significant losses. The scale of unlawful activity is a major concern for those contemplating investment in innovative content models that rely upon any form of payment. These figures dont seem to add up? or is it just me?

  Sensor Placement

  on iPhone Hits Just Keep On Coming For Apple: Sued Over Liquid Damage Sensors
  As most have stated the usual place for a water sensor is behind the battery not so with the jesus phone it's placed at the connector dock and/or the headphone socket:
