NPR on Slapp lawsuits

Nazanin Rafsanjani of NPR's On The Media took a look at legislation aimed at curtailing SLAPP lawsuits -- the kind designed to silence critics rather than right wrongs. As we havesome experience of this, I got to tell Rafsanjani all about our case for the segment.

iBooks naughty word filter doesn't let you say "sperm"

Dean spotted that bowdlerization is afoot in the iPad's bookstore's selection of classic literature! This includes obvious candidates such as a certain Joseph Conrad classic.

But ... sperm?

Star Wars Sound Effects Quiz!

We've isolated some distinctive--and not-so-distinctive!--audio snippets from the Star Wars flicks. Think you can identify them all? After you take the quiz, come on back and let us know how well you did. And if you have an idea for a future quiz, tell us your suggestion!

3D viewer + The Elements for iPad = stereoscopic scienceporn

Just got my Loreo Pixi 3D viewer with which to view those element detail shots in Theodore Gray's The Elements for iPadin 3D. Verdict: takes a little getting used to, for my eyes anyway, but after a minute of perceptual adjustment it quickly turned into HOLYCRAPTHISISSOAWESOME. You know what America (heck, the world, but especially America) needs to combat anti-science sentiment, and the dumbing down of our kids? Elegant presentations of science. Interactive digital reference book/game/search/apps like this, that make learning tantalizing. Imagine if you'd first been exposed to the periodic table of elements like this as a kid! I say this with excitement for the iPad and content soon to be developed for that platform, but also with excitement for the new class of competing devices that sill surely follow.

Read my earlier review of The Elements here ($13.99 for iPad, Touchpress), and you canbuy the glasses here ($4.95 + S/H).

Behold! OSX on iPad! With Flash!

Not really! It's actually Desktop Connect, a $12 app that lets you patch into other computers using VNC or RDP, two desktop-sharing protocols. It's neat to be able to lounge in bed and mess with a computer from afar--the iPad's sweet spot (or sour spot, for the detractors) between cellphone and laptop makes it great for turn-based games. Hip, urban server administrators will also be delighted.

Setup is easy, and a row of icons makes keyboard entry, including function keys,
straightforward. But there are some caveats: the touchscreen magic dissolves to frustration with desktop operating systems, even when you set the remote resolution to be the same as the iPad's. It's much easier to use the precise mousing mode.
