- New York backs same-sex marriages from elsewhere. Now the state of New York will recognise same-sex marriages from other states and countries. How fabulous is that?
- Parents who have lost children in the recent China quake are eligible to have another child. Maybe later they will remove the one-child policy altogether.
- Google Health launches. Google Health is an Internet service that lets you manage your medical records online, and educate yourself about health issues relevant to your health profile. I’m divided between “This is really cool!” and “This is such a bad idea.”
- How to kick your fast food diet. The idea is to take it in little steps. Kinda like kicking that smoking habit.
- Control your computer with your voice. This guide is Windows-only, but I’m sure that Macs have similar functions. (This is so cool.)
- Computer predicts brain activity with 70% accuracy. Again, I’m divided. This is really, really cool because it reveals a little more how our brains organise knowledge. But then again, I don’t want probes reading my mind quite yet (or at all).
- Sex writers on Sex and the City. Did SATC really spur a female sexual revolution? Women weigh in.
