SpaceInvader··on Stephen Hawking has died
Brian Cox is superb. He has the ability to explain complex things using simple language.
SpaceInvader··on A Man Who Volunteered for Auschwitz (2012)
While this article in general is fine, some of the details are wrong. Namely - he died on 25th of May, not 22nd as written there, also he was arrested May 8th not 5th. Not sure about the other details, I didn't had time to check it.

Good point :D
SpaceInvader··on Teens can't tell the difference between Google ads and search results
Not dumber, they just live in a different world. We had to use google the proper way, because there were no other tools, or at least not that many. And that became a habbit of ours. This is totally normal thing to me.

SpaceInvader··on How to see everything you’ve Googled while logged in
This is exactly the question I'm asking myself. I have search history disabled for last (at least) 5 years, but I am not sure if google isn't storing it anyways.
SpaceInvader··on At Kodak, Clinging to a Future Beyond Film
Well, that is not true. I'm shooting film my whole life (my father was a photographer and we had several cameras at home). I use digital for about 95% of my pictures, but I have more analog than digital cameras, all of them are in perfect shape and I use them regularly. My favourite BW film is Kodak Tri-X [0], which is still being produced. I'm also using Kodak Ektar, Portra and still have few rolls of Kodak E100, although that one is not in production anymore.

Well, that is true if you're working on the production code directly and this is not always the case when working on remote server.
