>>>>LOOK HERE<<<<

START RANT HERE:
Rikki got me to thinking about sensationalism in the media.
Here you will find an interesting survey on sensationalism in the media that to me proves one thing: people our age in the midwest are apathetic about sensationalism. Just look at the graph compared to the rest of the nation, both the midwest and our particular age group were the least likely to say that they thought that sensationalism is a problem. This means several things:
1. Terrorist minority folk infected with anthrax are stealing our identities and using them to lure our children into cults over the internet.
2. SHINY THINGS.
3. All of the news that is relevant to my life can fit into a single one hour show that is half commercials and 1/4 sports leaving exactly 15 minutes for the paid advertisements that are sold as stories, human interest stories about pandas() , recipe corner, underestimating my intelligence as a viewer and the weather.
4. PROPOGANDA.
5. I feel slightly alienated from my fellow 20 somethings that think the most important thing that they need to keep track of is the latest show which is meant to be a surrogate for real life.
6. TV-Turnoff Week 2006 will take place April 24-30, 2006.-Via the TV Turnoff Network.

On the up side of things, maybe soon they will have an artificial intelligence that will hold up our ends of the artificial existence that has evolved around us.

Did anyone read about the quantum computer that solves problems without running a program?

No sounds cute. Did you see the article in Wired magazine titled: Faster Chips, Kill, Kill, Kill? Which had nothing to do with Killing, just being faster.
