The Mysterious World of Owls (with Jennifer Ackerman)

Library of Economics and Liberty 

An owl will eat a rabbit whole, but owls can’t digest the fur or the bones. So how do they survive? Why do their eyes face forward rather than to the side? Long-eared Owls don’t have ears, so what’s up with the name and how do they hear? How can dogs help us track owls–that seems impossible. Owls don’t make nests, so where do they live? Listen as Jennifer Ackerman, author of What an Owl Knows, talks about the book with EconTalk’s Russ Roberts, peeling back the feathers to reveal the astonishing biology and behavior of owls...

The new Mac mini is coming to chase away the iPhone 16 blues

Macworld.com 

Macworld

All in all, Apple’s Glowtime event earlier this month was mildly disappointing. The new iPhones are yet another cautious iteration on a product with nowhere interesting left to go; the new AirPods didn’t do the one thing we were all excited about (dropping the price below $100); the ‘updated’ AirPods Max are a bad joke; and the rumored iPad mini didn’t appear at all. I will admit that I like the look of the redesigned Apple Watch, but it remains a comparatively niche product... Читать дальше...

Vox 

Intermezzo, the first new book by Sally Rooney in three years, comes freighted with expectations. What will our first great millennial novelist do next?

Hackers know your social security number. Here’s how to stay safe

PC World 

For anyone trying to keep their personal information secure, recent headlines have been a grim kick in the pants. The harshest came last month when the National Public Data breach was disclosed—the source of a purported 2.9 billion records spilling onto the dark web. But it wasn’t the only prominent data leak. In early September, Medicare contacted almost one million beneficiaries about a loss of personal identifiable information related to a vulnerability in third-party software.

7 laptop habits that coax the most out of your battery

PC World 

I’ll be the first one to admit to not practicing the best battery habits, especially where my laptop is concerned. Most days I leave my laptop plugged in for far too long, which can deteriorate the battery over time, especially if it’s fully charged. I’ll find myself cranking up the brightness as well, even when I’m just browsing social media and doing day-to-day tasks. That’s because I’m a mutant. Don’t be a mutant.

You Can’t Get Me to Scream

Splice Today 

Everybody’s screaming at me, I can’t hear a word they’re saying. That’s untrue—it’s a lie!—but it’s never wrong, from this corner, to invoke the folk singer Fred Neil (1935-2001), a gifted songwriter who, today, is barely a footnote in America’s leaking-like-a-sieve popular culture. I far preferred his version of “Everybody’s Talkin’” to Harry Nilsson’s still-famous cover that was in Midnight Cowboy, although Jefferson Airplane did him right with their version of “The Other Side of This Life.” On July 30...

30 years of Friends

Cyprus Mail 

By Richard Howells I have to be honest – I didn’t actually watch the first episode of the classic TV series Friends when it originally aired in the US on September 22, 1994. Nor did I bother when it first turned up on British television the following spring. But the final instalment was a different […]
