A Ten Second Type Nerd Test

Skim the snippets below and guess which OS each choice represents. One was rendered in Windows XP, another in Mac OSX, and the third with the new improved font-rendering in Ubuntu (Linux).

 

Now compare your snap impression with the fuller view in this posting at CrowdSpring. My own vote goes with "Artby Audrey" (i.e. Ubuntu is still far from the best, but it has gotten a whole lot better).

Texting Counts More Than Sex with (Some) Women

"One Third of All Women Pick Cells Over Sex" said the teaser on my Yahoo home page, so of course I clicked and read it. That's not all they reported. In addition to noting the cities in which roughly 1/3 of the females said they'd give up sex before they gave up their cell phones, this recent study reported that 80% of cell users spend up to 20% of their waking hours IM'ing, while more than a third of all respondents said they prefer texting to talking live. Some will see these stats as the death of civilization as we knew it. Draw your own conclusions; I merely convey the data. Rest of story is here.
