As long as it doesn't go in the opposite direction (identify you to event initiators as a potential invitee), it's just targeted advertising, and a relatively creative version.

I think Seasonal Affect Disorder is getting to you, Sam. If you don't want to know anything, don't go back in your timeline. I have gone from the relative that knew nothing about anybody (from lack of communication/effort) to knowing something about how my nieces/nephews/aunts/uncles are doing. That's it. If something…

I find it awfully suspicious that Google+ was #2. How many people searched for Google+ through the year? Maybe in the month surrounding the announcement of its release, as people were trying to figure out if they could get an account, but not the whole year.

I just like the way he looks back at the human after about the 5th bug like, "WTH, where are the bugs I keep trying to eat. Do I amuse you?"

How exactly does a "single injection to the neck" potentially puncture a lung? Even with a spinal tap needle, you'd have to completely miss by inches to come anywhere near a lung.

I thought MuscleNerd had a 4s-only jailbreak in the works?

It means that molybdenite's set of mechanical properties (in this case, the modulus of elasticity and its ductility) are such that a thin layer of molybdenite can bend without breaking.

Yeah, that works all fine and dandy until the master clock is screwed up, as it was in my schools almost all the time. Then all the clocks would make loud clicks as they adjusted during class.

Probably the Asian Lady beetle. They've taken over, and I believe were the primary cause of the loss of our native ladybugs. And they bite (besides trying to crawl in through any seem in your insulation to stay warm in the winter).

Damn you, Brent Rose! Now I've got the Love Boat theme song in my head.

You didn't read the part about the opossum dying in your walls, did you?

Here I thought this was another article about porn...

So as an adult that never had it as a child, I shouldn't be upset that these geniuses are sending biothreats through the mail? The article may have deflected the real cause for concern, and more so, a criminal offense of sending bioweapons through the mail.

I ran into this problem in a high school academic competition—no matter how you pronounce it, it makes you snicker. Either it's "urine-us", "you're-in-us", or "your-anus".

You know you can link to the actual article (at least the abstract), don't you? Makes it a lot easier to get further information. [www.nature.com]
