This World Stats Counter shows current statistical figures for world population, births, deaths, deforestation, and much more. Except for population and earth temp, all stats reflect the growth since the beginning of the selected time period. You can choose to show growth since the beginning of the year, month, day, or from the moment you click the Now button. All figures represent World stats except devorces (world estimates were not available) and illegal immigration (mostly a US issue and also unavailable worldwide).

This program is also available in German and Spanish.

Below the World Clock I have chosen to show all sources where you can verify these figures. If you find any discrepancy in the numbers, please contact me.

How We Know Where Our Lost Keys Are

In feature-based attention, neurons form the search patterns we use to find familiar objects in unexplored places

By Nikhil Swaminathan

When on a hunt for Waldo, that dastardly master of cryptic coloration, you probably try to zero in on the color red, hoping to catch the top of his candy cane–colored hat, or perhaps his distinctive black-rimmed glasses. Similar principles are helpful when trying to find apples in a supermarket or lost keys in our house.

different subpopulations of neurons in the brain were also activated when the subjects were asked to concentrate on stimuli moving up and left versus up and right. The surprise came when they noticed that a pattern of activity among the neurons that process the lower half of the visual field echoed the behavior of the cells for the field's upper half.

VIDEO: Consumerist Catches Geek Squad Stealing Porn From Customer's Computer

The Consumerist's 3-month sting operation snared a Geek Squad technician stealing porn from our hard drive, and we've got the work-safe video and logfiles to prove it.

UPDATE: Why We're Not Telling Geek Squad CEO Which Agent Stole The Porn

This is not just an isolated incident, according to reports from Geek Squad insiders alleging that Geek Squad techs are stealing porn, images, and music from customer's computers in California, Texas, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere.

If our techie readers were right about the Geek Squad doing this, then perhaps they're right in saying it happens at other computer repair places as well.

We advise encrypting sensitive files in advance with a program like TrueCrypt (WIN) or making an encrypted disk image (MAC, be sure to skip step 6). Or, keep it all on an external hard drive and/or zip all the files and password protect them.

how to squeeze an egg without breaking it

How to Squeeze an Egg Without Breaking It

Steps [edit]

With One Hand

Place an egg in the palm of your hand.
Close your hand so that your fingers are completely wrapped around the egg.
Squeeze the egg by applying even pressure all around the shell.
Look at everyone's amazement (mostly your own) as the egg remains whole and your hand remains dry!

With Two Hands

Lace your fingers together.
Place the egg lengthwise between your palms.
Squeeze your palms together as hard as you can on the points of the egg.

Warnings [edit]

Do not attempt this experiment near carpet, curtains, or any other hard-to-clean item. If this experiment fails, egg yolk will fly in all directions.

Don't try this in the store before you buy the egg. The storekeeper will not be amused.

Why do people like the iPhone

Last week, the most anticipated cell phone of the year was release. The phone that cures cancer. The phone that cleans your house. The wonder, the glorious, the most sought after item ever .. the iPhone. Alright, I exaggerated somewhat to but some emphasis on the fan movement behind this phone.

why do people like the iPhone? Simple. They like it because it lets them show off. It allows people to say, “Hey look, I got the iPhone come look at it!”

Cost

Basic Functionality

False Advertising

First and foremost. The iPhone doesn’t use 3G technology. All those ads you saw where they demonstrate how to browse the internet are very misleading. They use a technology called EDGE. What does this mean? Well all the initial reports are coming out saying how slow the internet is on the iPhone. It isn’t like you’ve been seeing on the commercials.

Normal Apple Practices

Conclusion

Skin Deep - cosmetic safety database

Clip Source: www.cosmeticsdatabase.com

Skin Deep is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products brought to you by researchers at the Environmental Working Group.

Skin Deep pairs ingredients in nearly 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety.

Less Really Is More

Most consumers assume the government is making sure the ingredients in these products are safe, but surprisingly, this isn't always the case.

Sabrina McCormick, an environmental science and policy assistant professor at Michigan State University, said this is nothing new. “Many people think that the Food and Drug Administration protects us from possibly harmful ingredients in personal care products and cosmetics, but in fact, the FDA does not have that mandate," she said. "They are not forced to regulate these ingredients. Who is forced to regulate them is a board called the Cosmetics Industry Review Board, which is a board constituted by representatives from the industry. So essentially, these products that we are putting on our face and on our body every day are being regulated only by the industry that is already producing it. There is a serious conflict of interest there.”
