On the topic of the OS X backdoor that I found this week, Apple says: "We have just revoked the appropriate Developer ID certificate."

‘Windmills of Your Mind’, the seminal hallucinogenic break-up ditty first known to English-speaking audiences as the signature sound track song to the Thomas Crown Affair, is itself a cover of a French song. This masterful poetic piece has been performed by everyone from Dusty Springfield, to Barbara Streisand, the Muppets and Sting, so now I’d [...]

Incredibly beautiful images.
Dolphins are intelligent, playful and non-aggressive. Imagine if they ruled the world instead of us.
But then thy might need to keep us penned, by necessity, although it would pain them to do it, to keep us from ruining the earth with the “Tsar bombs,” etc.
They would care for us and intervene to separate us every time we try to kill each other.

From the news: “One of the most lasting legacies President Obama will likely hand over to his successor, whether in 2013 or in 2017, is the use of drone aircraft for targeted killings. ”
Dolphins don’t do that.

A pod of dolphins once buzzed right past me in Australia. It was amazing feeling I was underwater but could hear their sonar clicks scanning me. When I surfaced they were all about me.

They scanned you and said: He is one of us, he can’t make toroidal vortices out of his mouth like us, but he makes them on the web.

JB have you read “Illuminatus Trilogy” by Robert Anton Wilson? If you haven’t already, it’s definitely worth a skeg.

“and i thought it was a special talent the first time i blew a smoke ring as a teen…”
So true.
In all honesty, have you got beyond 3 rings inside one another? 2′s hard, but 3′s a killer.

ha ha ha therefore proving that hippies and dolphins are very alike.
It would explain a lot about Dolphin’s slacker lifestyle as well.
I always love the Douglas Adam Hitch hicker’s guide to the Galaxy. Just before the Earth is to be destroyed the Dolphins all leave the earth in space ships whilst saying. ….
Dolphin humour it doesn’t get much funnier that that.

On the subject of smoking, I remember watching a documentary film called “the Century of the Self” about a jewish guy called Edward Bernays who was Freud’s nephew. Using his uncles knowledge, Bernay’s set about promoting public smoking for women, er, amongst many other things. Well worth watching the whole documentary, but if you only fancy the smoking related bit, it’s at 11.35 mins onwards.
