- IntelliAdmin.com: Why windows takes so long to start up. – Windows has a feature called prefetcher that automatically loads, at bootup, portions of programs that you use often. This means that your applications launch faster but your bootup is slower. Personally I prefer a slow bootup to a slow app launch but if you wish to disable it this link will help.

- Neatorama – Blog Archive – 10 Scientific Frauds that Rocked the World. – We have all heard about the British moths light/dark ratio changing as the trees darkened due to pollution in the mid-1800. Well, unfortunately the scientific observations in support of this micro-evolution are questionable. We all better remove this from our pro-evolution tool-box or else we can fall victim to the common intelligent design fallacy: “if one part of science is wrong therefore it is all wrong and we are right”.
