Women prefer cats to men 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

After three weeks of hanging around like an unwelcome in-law, the filthy grey snow banks are finally melting here in Boston.  With the advent of warmth and sunshine I would have expected everyonealong Alex's Harvard Yard/Square dog walking route to be grinning with happiness.  Yet people did not seem any happier than usual.  To explain this phenomenon it is necessary to turn to TIME magazine's January 17, 2005 "The Science of Happiness" issue.  According to TIME, "sunny days [do not make us happy though] a 1998 study showed that Midwesterners think folks living in balmy California are happier and that Californians incorrectly believe this about themselves too."

Friends and family make people happy as does "contributing to the lives of others" (tough for folks in Vero Beach, FL given that it is tough to find anyone within a gated community facing a more important decision than whether to play golf or tennis).  When asked "do you often do any of the following to improve your mood?", TIME's own poll revealed that 38 percent of women checked off "playing with pet"; only 18 percent checked "have sex".  As the favored pet among America's ladies is the cat, from this we can conclude that cats are more satisfying to women than men are.

Kids Prefer Gadgets To Family

Kids Prefer Gadgets To Family 08/13/2004 05:45 AM
Remember when being "sent to your room" was punishment as a kid? Nowadays, with kids have computers, TVs, DVD players and mobile phones, they actually prefer being in their room than being out in the rest of the house with their families. Similar to the study we pointed to a few weeks ago about technol ogy killing the traditional road trip as kids wall themselves off in a digital cocoon, it appears kids would much rather be off alone watching TV, surfing the web and (most importantly) text messaging with their friends. While the article makes it sound like the technology is to blame, that's a weak excuse. The technology didn't put itself in the room and lock the kid up. Shouldn't the parents be somewhat responsible?

Why I prefer Open Source databases

Why I prefer Open Source databases 09/16/2002 07:41 AM
- By JT Smith - I've been working with databases for many years. I started out with Oracle and Informix then used a little Sybase. Then I discovered open source and used mSQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL pretty extensively. Most recently I've been working with Oracle again, and just started playing with MSSQL. Why is any of this important? It’s important because I've seen the good and the bad of all these systems. And perhaps even more important are ...

Just spotted a new Google feature. If your results include some foreign-language links (example) a little box hanging down from the blue "Searched the web for ..." bar asks "Would you prefer to search for English results only ?". But if I do the search on Google.de, it doesn't ask me if I only want only German results. Speaking of foreign languages, if you speak French, you might like this french Google Weblog. And while not all of them speak French, up in Canada Google's helping to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. (Yeah, they're a bit early and I'm a bit late...) (Thanks, Greg!)...

Swiss Prefer To Be Dumb, But Healthy,
And Less Well Connected 06/14/2004 06:00 PM
Last year, we wrote about a somewhat questionable study that suggested that 3G wireless base stations made people feel sick - but also made them smarter. Now, because of that study (which was greatly questioned once the details showed very little evidence to back up its main assertions), the Swiss government is contemplatin g a ban on 3G technologies. The argument, of course, is they want to make sure their citizens remain healthy, but if they really believe that study, doesn't it mean they also want their citizens to remain dumber?

Shocker: More People Prefer Online Car
Sales To Dealing With Dealers 04/11/2005 03:31 PM
Can you possibly imagine that people wouldn't like going in to car dealers and buying cars from a profession that seems to be defined by its own sleaze? Indeed, it appears that the less sleaze-inducing internet route for buying cars is picking up steam -- with plenty of car purchases originating online. Also, person-to-person car sales have been increasing as the internet has aided that process, and cut out the need for dealers to broker those types of sales. Meanwhile, fewer people seem to be going to the old newspaper classified section to find out about car deals, as it just doesn't seem efficient any more. The car sellers are looking elsewhere and car buyers prefer going online and avoiding dealers as much as possible as well.

Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.
