Google Is Now Providing Servants to Its Employees

Yet another reason I wish I worked for Google!

"So much for the war on Googler entitlement. Amid heated competition for engineers, Google is trying a remarkable new perk: free use of "runners" to clean apartments, take out trash, cook dinner, run errands—whatever is needed.

Googlers are being provided with credits on TaskRabbit, an online service that brokers odd jobs in five major cities. Recent job listings on the site include "Fold Laundry and Put it Away," "Cook dinner for 2," "assemble four items from Ikea," "standard wash and fold: 3 loads," "dispose of Ikea bead," "Pick up and deliver cake," and "walk a dog." The perk, presumably, only applies to Google workers who live in one of the five metropolitan regions TaskRabbit serves, including New York and the San Francisco Bay Area." See the rest HERE

Given the option between being felt up and a full body scan, always choose being felt up...'yeah you are feeling my junk and it's as uncomfortable for you as it is for me' make them uncofmortable too

I miss my beard

Shut the front door!!! I didn't know Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) is gay!!!

"Mary Todd Lincoln in the house. My husband was probably gay and I'm bipolar which makes me yell things like, 'That teapot's spreadin' lies about me,"

Brewing my own beer

Just started my first home-brew and maybe last (we will see in a month or so if I'm satisfied with the results), 90 minutes in the kitchen, now 2-3 weeks, then bottling, then another 2-3 weeks then drink!

How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA

Ok... this is kinda scary. The better our technology gets, the more it's killing us. Ack!

"Great things are expected of terahertz waves, the radiation that fills the slot in the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and the infrared. Terahertz waves pass through non-conducting materials such as clothes , paper, wood and brick and so cameras sensitive to them can peer inside envelopes, into living rooms and "frisk" people at distance.

The way terahertz waves are absorbed and emitted can also be used to determine the chemical composition of a material. And even though they don't travel far inside the body, there is great hope that the waves can be used to spot tumours near the surface of the skin.

With all that potential, it's no wonder that research on terahertz waves has exploded in the last ten years or so." View the rest HERE
