• Brain Parasites, California’s Hidden Health Problem: Wait, wait, wait... You can get tapeworms in the brain?!?!? Ug, evolution totally sucks sometimes.

• NVIDIA Announces Quadro K5000 Professional GPU for Mac Pro: While I would like to upgrade the video card in my Mac, the price on this seems to be a wee bit excessive. :(

• AT&T's FaceTime Blocking Hurts the Deaf: Given this context:

  "Freeing up FaceTime over mobile would literally change our world. We would be able to communicate with each other during emergencies and other situations when Wi-Fi isn’t available. People who aren’t deaf take for granted that they can dial their partners’ cellphones to remind them to pick up milk, but for the deaf there have always been technological barriers to these kinds of routine communications."

  AT&T's restrictions on FaceTime over cellular are even more shameful. (via TidBITS)

• Kindle Fire sets Microsoft’s Bing as default search engine: Interesting.
