'Escape-A-Date' ringtones help you lie
like an (unwired) dog 08/04/2004 01:47 PM
Cingular Wireless recently introduced an odd new tool for subscribers. "Escape-a-Date" is touted as "the perfect service to use when you are afraid that your blind date may not be just right for you." Users schedule a "rescue" phone call at a pre-set time which tells them exactly how to lie their way into speedy escape. Eight randomly-generated humorous scripts are offered, here's a snip from one:

Hey, this is your escape-a-date call. If you're looking for an excuse, I got it. Just repeat after me, and you'll be on your way!

"Not again! Why does that always happen to you? ... Alright, I'll be right there." Now tell 'em that your roommate got locked out, and you have to go let them in. Good luck!"

It's actually not the first, um, wireless falsification enabler. Virgin Mobile USA also offers subscribers the option to set up a "Rescue Ring" to escape any situation -- romantic or otherwise -- by simply scheduling a time when they want to receive an automated system call. "Save yourself from bad dates, boring meetings, or any other situation that needs interrupting," says the Virgin website. Emily's Ringtoni a blog has more on the mobile fakeout meme. Doug Rushkoff has more on the Cingular service over at The Feature. And don't forget the web classic, Rejection Line. But really, people -- WTF ever happened to honesty? (via unwired list)

IBM Wants To Predict The Weather 300
Years From Now 02/10/2004 01:27 PM
IBM and the University of California at Irvine are working on a superc omputer that can predict the planet's climate changes up to 300 years in the future. They claim it's a revolutionary breakthrough in computing, but neglect to mention that part of the reason they're probably working on it is to surpass the power of a Japanese weather predicting computer that made headlines a year and a half ago. I'm sure that it won't be all that long until another supercomputer comes along and beats this one as well.

I Predict Psi-Ops Will Be in Stores
Tomorrow 06/14/2004 01:13 PM

MATT GALLANT -- Also, your dead relatives love you and don't want you to be sad. Today, Midway has shipped Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy for PS2 and Xbox. Psi-Ops is a third-person stealth/action game where you play as psychic commando Nick Scryer. Your mission is to go undercover (hint: don't tell anyone your last name) and infiltrate "The Movement", a terrorist organization that usually strikes about fifteen minutes after breakfast and then again late in the evening.

As you can see in the screenshot, you'll have the power to lift things and set them on fire using only the powers of your mind and melodramatic poses. Hopefully Nick will also have to shout "BEHOLD!" to make with the burning and flinging. Nick can also learn to telepathically control enemies, do some remote viewing of inaccessible locations, see auras, and drain brains. You'll also have an array of conventional weapons which you can fire using only the power of your index finger, for when your brain gets tired.

Mark Frauenfelder: sebb says: "Why is this story not the biggest story in the media right now??!!?? (Cure for Cancer Within Five Years) Surely the best news of the millenium so far. A cure for cancer! all cancer! Posted as a side article on bbc news april 8th.

Whenever I read an article about a cure for peanut allergies (my daughter has a life threatening nut allergy), the articles always quote some researcher as saying it'll happen "in five years."

Curious about the popularity of "in five years," I googled the following terms:

"in two years" -- 1,320,000 results

"in five years" -- 1,420,000

"in ten years" -- 584,000

"in fifteen years" -- 59,000

"in twenty years" -- 176,000

"in fifty years" -- 74,300

"in a hundred years" -- 77,500

"in a thousand years" -- 56,300

"in ten thousand years" -- 3,370 (first hit is Cory!)

"in a hundred thousand years" -- 828

"in a million years" -- 202,000

"in a billion years" -- 5,410

"in a trillion years" -- 933

"in a quadrillion years" -- 51

"in a googol years" -- 38

"in a googolplex years" -- 2

"never" -- 296,000,000

"Never" wins by a huge margin, but "in five years" comes in second.

Scientists Claim To Successfully Predict
Earthquakes

Scientists Claim To Successfully Predict
Earthquakes 01/09/2004 09:50 PM
When I first moved to California from New York, and expressed to someone my concern about earthquakes, I was told that it's no different than natural disasters like hurricanes that hit the east coast. Of course, there is a very big difference: with a hurricane, you know it's coming and can protect yourself or get the hell out of town. Scientists have been working on ways to predict earthquakes for years, with little success. Some say it can't be done. However, some researchers are now claiming that they successful ly predicted the recent California earthquake and an earlier one in Japan. The predictions are not pinpoint predictions, but suggest a magnitude earthquake that is likely in a specific location within the next nine months. Many researchers are skeptical, but others do say that it's unlikely they were correct twice by dumb luck. Of course, the researchers don't want to reveal all their predictions publicly, because they say they don't want to spread fear and economic hardship on certain areas. However, they do plan to work with "the appropriate authorities" (whoever they may be) to continue to test their methodology. In the meantime, they will leak one prediction (in a sparsely populated area): a possible 6.4 magnitude quake in an area south of the Mojave Desert sometime before Sept. 5.
