The new MTV Music site has every music video ever published. It’s good that MTV finally came back to their core.

Above, a pop-up-video version of a memorable music video from my childhood — still one of my favorite songs, despite the engrish lyrics.

This is pretty novel game playing. This type of thinking outside of box’ness is hard to come by in games these days when it’s all about more types of weapons, more violence, when essentially, it’s all the same FPS or RTS Myst and Katamari Damacy are the only exceptions that I can think of. ]]> http://nahhhh.com/2008/10/28/unfinished-swan/feed/ http://nahhhh.com/2008/10/28/amazon-30-day-price-guarantee/ http://nahhhh.com/2008/10/28/amazon-30-day-price-guarantee/#comments Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:06:14 +0000 minwoo http://nahhhh.com/2008/10/28/amazon-30-day-price-guarantee/ Amazon’s secret price guarantee! - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine

Amazon’s 30-day price guarantee is a sort of Zen customer benefit. If a retailer offers a price guarantee but doesn’t tell customers about it, does the price guarantee exist? Only for the few who hear about it somewhere else.

Hm, maybe Amazon’s Black Friday sale begins tomorrow :)

UPDATE: It seems they dropped this policy effective Sept. 1st :-( Hope no one bought anything based on this blog post :-P http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=910105

This is drop-jaw fascinating, especially the last slide.

Humans might not be exempt from the mind control of parasites, either. Half of us, scientists say, carry the parasitic protozoa Toxoplasma gondii. And once we have toxoplasma in our bodies, we carry it for life.

The rate of infection can vary wildly from country to country—only three percent of South Koreans have are infected by toxoplasma, while as many as 80 percent of French people are carriers. The Centers for Disease Control says that areas where people prefer undercooked meat, like France, or have stray cats running around, like Central America, are rife for infection.

Though the parasite’s main host is the cat, it can live in thousands of warm-blooded species (and we’re on the list). Toxoplasmosis, researchers have found, might make people more likely to be schizophrenic, and can change personality in subtle ways. One researcher found that infected men were more aggressive and jealous, women were more outgoing, and perhaps most seriously, both had slower reaction times and were in more traffic accidents.

Explains a lot about certain French people I know, JK! ^^

Please Apple-god, let this rumor be true!
