Download a Copy of The Pirate Bay Before It's Gone In just a few days The Pirate Bay will be passed onto its new owners, marking the end of an era but not the end of BitTorrent. The nostalgic torrenters among us might want to download a copy of the site for archival purposes. It never hurts to have a backup of important data in place, especially when it's free.

Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think GENERATIONS of psychologists and philosophers have believed that babies and young children were basically defective adults — irrational, egocentric and unable to think logically. The philosopher John Locke saw a baby's mind as a blank slate, and the psychologist William James thought they lived in a "blooming, buzzing confusion." More @ NYTimes.com 3. Always Look on the Bright Side of FOSS Microsoft has been compelled to say in a filing with the SEC that (gulp) Linux is giving it "strong competition."

Painless Linux Multi-boot Setup Virtualization, especially with nice virtualizers like VirtualBox and KVM, makes it easy to run multiple guest operating systems and not have to hassle with rebooting, like you do with a multi-boot setup. But I still favor multi-booting for testing new Linux distributions. There are fewer hassles with networking and file-sharing, and when there are problems I don't have to figure out if it's something weird with the VM. More @ LinuxToday 8. This robotic sunflower's LED seeds will cure you of that spitting habit in no time 9. Are Google's 'Caffeine' search results more like Bing's? It's hard to imagine big, bad search monopolist Google quaking in its boots over Bing (or even Bing+Yahoo). Yet just a couple of months after Microsoft launched Bing, Google announced it is tweaking its own search infrastructure. More @ ZDNetBlogs 10. 15 Fastest Things In The Universe Almost everybody likes speed. The thought of going faster than anyone else has inspired man: everything from countless drag racing movie scenes to the use of steroids in pursuit of the title of "World's Fastest Human".
