Op-Ed: Compassion training for adults — Yes, really

Sydney - Compassion is one of the higher human traits. It’s not as common as it should be, in fact you could say the current global society is designed to prevent it. So someone’s come up with a way of training people to be compassionate.

Op-Ed: The case for zero tolerance of fanatics

Sydney - The case for describing fanatics as insane is pretty convincing. These people’s minds are totally subordinated. “Extremism” is a euphemism. This is brainwashing, perversion of minds, and historically it leads only to violence and suffering.

Op-Ed: Congress finds Apple avoided ‘tens of billions’ in tax

Washington - Apple is alleged to have used offshore tax havens to keep huge amounts of money away from clutches of the IRS. The other side of this large coin is that US tax laws are a positive incentive for behaviour of this kind.

Op-Ed: The attack of the crazy ants blitzes America

Sydney - The latest invasion of America (there have been so many lately) comes in the form of a species of ant which is even driving out the fearsome fire ants. The crazy ants are on the loose, changing ecologies and frying electronics around the nation.

Op-Ed: Cloned embryos flatten the stem cell debate

Sydney - The systemic obstruction to stem cell research at all levels has created a sycophantic industry of “ethical debate” based on reasons for extending human suffering. The humanity-hating bandwagon just hit a pothole with a new research breakthrough.

Op-Ed: The truths and myths of Asians ‘looking white’ cosmetically

Sydney - There’s a huge market among Asians for whitening treatments and facial cosmetic surgery. As usual, the public image is wrong. The reasons are much more complex than “looking white”, despite urban myths. Feelings are mixed, and sometimes queasy.

Op-Ed: The script for bullies — And a cure or several

Sydney - The “new” culture of bullying has been around for a long time. The response has been constipated at best, absolutely ineffectual at worst. Bullying isn’t confined to the Internet. It’s in the workplace and everywhere else.

Op-Ed: 'Dirty data' search ranking people on Facebook for jobs?

Sydney - A company called Identified has created an SEO option for recruiters to search Facebook for job candidates. This is “head hunting SEO” in embryo, and it's called SYMAN. It looks like Identified is underrating the value of their idea.

Op-Ed: Sea monster found off New Zealand

Sydney - Another day, another monster? Not quite, this time. A large aquatic animal, apparently carnivorous, has washed up in New Zealand. The body is badly decomposed, and suggests a crocodilian head with a twin fin tail.

Op-Ed: Surprise, surprise — Microsoft panel beats Windows 8

Sydney - It’s common consumer knowledge that any new operating system will have bugs galore. It’s been a long time since Microsoft put out an OS that wasn’t panned by experts and consumers alike. Win 8 is no exception.

Op-Ed: Margaret Groening, inspiration for Marge Simpson dies

Sydney - The world just lost a friend to laughter and the human race. Matt Groening’s mother died last month, but the story is only coming out now. The world is definitely a poorer place for her passing.

Op-Ed: Over-prescription of child psych medication is now a plague

Sydney - The issue of child psychiatric disorders and prescription of drugs has been around for years. Allegations of over-prescription and slap-happy medication for non-existent disorders are rampant. New studies indicate problems are getting worse.

Op-Ed: New 10” Kindle Fire rumour getting traction

Sydney - Kindle, the quasi-original reader, is about to get another upgrade, this time to a realistic, slightly bigger than 6x9 paperback standard size. This may be welcomed by readers, but so far the idea is more interesting than based on hard facts.

Op-Ed: The disappearing America — US spending cuts hit the fan

Sydney - Perhaps the most interesting thing about the US budget cutbacks is the sheer lack of talent and ideas. Apparently all the rhetoric and ideological chest thumping don’t equate to actually doing anything for the people who pay the taxes.

Op-Ed: The great ‘Google recognizes Palestine’ bitching session

Sydney - Google has recognized Palestine by changing “Google Palestinian Territories” to “Google Palestine”. Google’s move was in line with the new UN status of Palestinian lands conferred last month. The move has become instant propaganda material.

Op-Ed: Should mothers be legalised?

Sydney - It's an interesting fact that you can avoid wars, taxes, plagues, and practically everything else, but not mothers. Until somebody comes up with an artificial womb and figures out a way to download the patience of God, looks like they're here to stay.

Op-Ed: Body language — The abused science of interpretation?

Sydney - When body language was “discovered” a few decades ago, (like nobody instinctively reads it) it sadly became a fad/craze. People started to take the fad stuff seriously, with dubious statistics and the usual crud that goes with anything psychological.

Op-Ed: Doll giving birth and breastfeeding causing angst among parents

Sydney - A new doll which recreates the process of giving birth vaginal or by caesarian is perhaps understandably getting a mixed reaction. You can hear every parent on Earth saying “Er, yeah… It’s like this…. Um….”

Want to join Voyager as it enters interstellar space? You can!

Sydney - NASA have come up with a way of following the Voyagers as they depart the Solar System, the first human artifacts ever to do so. It’s an app measuring radiation. You know you’re Out There when the cosmic radiation outweighs the solar radiation.

Op-Ed: Planned austerity for a country that doesn’t need it — Australia

Sydney - Just when austerity is going out of fashion around the world, our brainless leaders are all for it. Australia’s deficit was caused by political ineptitude and policy mistakes. The economists are now talking about “savings”, aka austerity.
