Talking Turkey: Thanksgiving Facts & Figures


Thanksgiving_gra

Thanksgiving is a tradition that dates back to before the formation of the United States of America but most people know less about its origins than they think. Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, the first Thanksgiving on our shores was celebrated with Indians but not with Pilgrims and took place in what is now West Texas not in Plymouth Mass? Or that, not only was President Abraham Lincoln responsible for freeing the slaves, he also revived a tradition of thanksgiving that had been dormant for 45 years. And I’ll bet you think Columbus discovered America? So after you’ve stuffed your face with turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, you can use the facts & facts in our infographic to really talk turkey with the family.

Is the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Safe?

via Information Is Beautiful by david on 11/25/09

Some frequent questions about the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine answered as clearly and as visually as I could manage. A few people asked for this so I thought I would oblige.

It was hell on earth to research. There’s a jungle of science around H1N1. Very hard to hack through. You can check all my sources here.

Obama to Robots: I'm Watching You [Blockquote]

Coolest Presidential reference ever.

via Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz on 11/24/09

I don't know about you, but I like a President who can throw a funny, geeky sci-fi reference once in a while. Clearly, el Comandante en Jefe has watched his Terminators and scary Big Dogs a few times.

Obama said those words while presenting his "Educate to Innovate" campaign, which aims to promote the development of new inventions by students all around the country.

The iPhone Already Has Multitasking, And It's Awesome [Btw]

Finally! But $5? Damn it.

via Gizmodo by John Herrman on 11/23/09

In 2009, iPhone multitasking is a bit like apps were in the early jailbreak days. That is to say painfully, clearly possible, but simply not allowed. These jailbreak apps show how it could—and should—be done.

What you're seeing here is really the combination of two apps, standby jailbreak justifier and essential iPhone app Backgrounder, which lets your designate any app to run in the background, and new task switcher interface called Multifl0w. (There are other, more basic task switchers already, the most widespread being Kirikae) The new combo feels like magic: It's a little bit Android, a lotta bit Pre, and more importantly, an obvious improvement, at least on the speedier 3GS.

Granted, anyone who's used background knows that for the sake of your battery, you have to be careful how many apps you open, and how many you leave running. Honestly though? Every other smartphone manufacturer trusts their users to mind their own damn processes, which seems to work out pretty well. So, uh, when will we get this by default? OS 4.0? 5.0? Shut up, blogger?

You can give it a try now in jailbreak app manager Rock, and Cydia's on its way. Sadly, it's only free on a trial basis, after which it'll cost your five dollars. Backgrounder and Kirikae, though? They're still free, in all sense of the word. [MultiFl0w--Thanks, William!]
