is it biology, chemisty, physics, or philosophy?
from Arts & Letters Daily:
Can biology be reduced to chemistry and physics? And whose problem is it? Does it belong to philosophy or biology?... more

alternative for video gaming
more thoughts on my video gaming addicted son:

Mac PC Spoofs
This is great :-)
Mac PC Spoofs
We
love Apple's "Get a Mac" campaign, which pairs older guy-PC with younger guy-Mac and shows off how much hipper and cuter and cooler Mac is. But now, we're roaring just as loudly over these four spoofs of the ad series from writer and director Laurie McGuinness. Before the same white background, portly PC and adorably disheveled Mac meet, talk, and occasionally disagree. But in these scenarios, PC wears sharply tailored suits and has a hot blonde girl friend. Mac shows up late, looking groggy from working all night on a web site for his cat. PC wants to hear what Mac is listening to; Mac doesn't want to share. PC allows that he deals with all the boring spread sheets and businessy stuff: Mac suddenly realizes that he can't make the rent. Sure, sure, we're propagating the most horrific of computer stereotypes. But, hey, it's funny. Besides, some of our best friends are PCs and Macs. (in Yahoo!Picks, Marketing & Advertising)
