Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Looks, money, or character: Choosing what's important
4 of 18

I think that the choice should be thought from (at least) two points of view: "How happy it can make me" and "How much can I count on it/How long will I have it".Looks: They should really come last from both points of view. First of all they're perishable to say the least, only five years (or even less in some drastic cases) ... More..

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Consoles & Accessories Which video game console is better: PlayStation 3 or Wii? Smallicon
18 of 56

The Wii has completely revolutionized the way people interact with games. As you probably know by now, the Wii remote is physically used as the instrument in the game (the golf club while playing golf, the paddle while playing ping-pong and so on). Meaning no more having to think what buttons you need to push to obtain this o... More..

Arts & Humanities > Fantasy & Science Fiction Which Stephen King book do you find better, Cell or The Stand?
1 of 3

The two books are very similar to one another. The main idea in both books is that something (superflu in The Stand, the "program" emitted through the cells in Cell) kills almost everybody on the planet. The ones left split in two sides (the "good" and the "bad" in The Stand, the sane and the crazed in Cell). Obviously one si... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife Concepts of Heaven and Hell
29 of 60

I've read quite a bit on the concepts of Heaven and Hell and whether they should be taken literally or not. However now I'm only going to share my favorite hypothesis, read in a fiction book no less (a fiction book with a huge bibliography on the topic of the afterlife though).Heaven: It is obviously a beautiful place where o...

Business > Starting a Business Is branding yourself worth the effort
2 of 4

What good is it to brand yourself, you may ask? Because it's (a bit exaggerated I know) like a transition from a zero to a hero. From being an unknown to being known as a valuable expert with a solid reputation in your field (that is of course assuming that you do have expertise in the domain of your choice; else all the prom...

Sciences > Anatomy Why men have nipples
1 of 2

Actually up until rather recently scientists said that male nipples have absolutely no purpose.The reason they are there is that the human embryo gets its nipples in its first months, when the organism development is the same, regardless on the fetus' sex. Only at about 14 weeks hormones start to act, and thus the anatomy dif... More..

Arts & Humanities > Fantasy & Science Fiction Book reviews: Somewhere in Time, by Richard Matheson
1 of 1

After getting used to the idea that he has only four to six months left to live because of a brain tumor, Richard wants to spend the remainder of his days away from the pity of his loved ones. So he flips a coin to decide which road to take, hops in the car and drives away. He stops for a while at a hotel on the beach called ... More..

Business > Marketing The importance of having a brand/logo for your business
7 of 12

We live in a world where the competition is harsh. In each field there are more and more qualified and competent people. You need to set yourself apart from the rest, but how? Hard work alone won't do, because there are many people as hard-working as you. What is the solution will you ask? It's a very simple one: you have to ... More..

Computers & Technology > Internet Trends A guide to podcasting
3 of 5

You have probably heard about RSS, a standard that allows people to subscribe to receive the articles of sites they like in a special program called RSS aggregator (very similar to your subscription to a newspaper, where once you've subscribed you start receiving at home all the issues of newspapers you're interested in). Pod... More..

Arts & Humanities > Philosophy (Other) Why living forever isn't a good idea
30 of 44

The first time I realized that living forever may not be such a good idea was years ago when I first read Gulliver's Travels. If you remember one of the countries he visits has some "immortals", namely some people who can never die. The rub here is the fact that while they cannot die they can and actually do get older and old... More..
