I use Twitter to communicate with authors, thinkers, entrepreneurs, scientists, etc who I can't communicate with on Facebook.

What an awful redesign. Usually I am the odd one out who likes UI changes and happily learns new things, but this is really a downgrade. Not going to get me to switch back from Tweetbot, that's for sure.

Except far more of the people who write on Boing Boing are educated and aware of the issues surrounding a topic than your typical Fox News anchor or watcher/reader.

Just pay the couple of bucks and give the Growl developers some compensation for their hard work.

I use the white text on black feature in Kindle all the time. Much more pleasant for your eyes and your wife's sleep. Nice to see iBooks has it now.

Well someone is taking an image-filter a little too seriously.

Luckily the Apple way means drawing apps that actually respond properly and a desktop OS which makes using multiple design programs while simultaneously coding a website a thousand times easier than on Windows 7 or Linux (both of which I know well).

Well I am in such need of larger condoms that when I put one on it's like throwing a condom down a urethra. I mean a hotdog down a hallway. I mean what?

I FaceTime quite a bit.

I wouldn't call it doubt so much as inability to truly disprove since you can't truly disprove anything.

Actually there is a lot of evidence for the Big Bang and evolution. Enormous amounts of evidence, with more found everyday. If you want to talk about "proof" that strictly you can't prove anything.

My parents gave me fine ethics without any religious connection. They did expose me to a variety of religions, but not in the context of learning ethical behavior.

The angry minority is always the loudest, so everyone assumes all religious people are dogmatic nuts and all atheists are...dogmatic nuts.

Statistics? Those are anecdotes.

Studies like this are tough to comment on because it really makes you want to generalize and stereotype. Part of me says that stereotyping and generalizing are bad, the other part of me says that trends and statistics are evidence of actual differences and therefore can make for generalization or confirmation of
