Bats, of course, use echolocation. Beluga whales too. Dolphins. And Daniel Kish. He is so accomplished at echolocation that he’s able to pedal his mountain bike through streets heavy with traffic and on precipitous dirt trails. He climbs trees. He camps out, by himself, deep in the wilderness. He’s lived for weeks at a time in a tiny cabin a two-mile hike from the nearest road. He travels around the globe. He’s a skilled cook, an avid swimmer, a fluid dance partner. Essentially, though in a way that is unfamiliar to nearly any other human being, Kish can see. This is not enough for him. Kish is seeking — despite a lack of support from every mainstream blind organization in America — nothing less than a profound reordering of the way the world views blind people, and the way blind people view the world. He’s tired of being told that the blind are best served by staying close to home, sticking only to memorized routes, and depending on the unreliable benevolence of the sighted to do anything beyond the most routine of tasks.

"On April 28th, 2012, I assembled a 100 layer dip. I had been brainstorming the layers for over a year using this personal blog, initially inspired by the wonderful '7 layer dip'. The dip was served at 2PM and mostly consumed by 5PM by party goers who brought their own chips, pita and baguette. In the spirit of the internet, I have made this table of photos and accompanying animated gifs that require patience to load."

And by address book, I mean all the phone numbers and addresses and email addresses of everyone in your phone's address book just gets sent off to Path. And not only that, Path stored that information on its server. To their credit, Path apologized and deleted the data from their server.
But this is a larger problem than just Path. In a post from earl... - Jan 19, 12Incredible shots of what New York City looked like ~30 years ago...

It's really a triple gift:
1 - Recipient gets cash value to use with Kiva, and can eventually withdraw the funds if they choose
2 - Kiva borrower gets access to needed funds
3 - You get the satisfaction of knowing that your gift is helping others and hopefully getting your gift recipient involved with KivaIt’s the 21st of December and it’s crunch time for the last few people on your Holiday gift list.
Well, here’s a great gift idea which:
Doesn’t require going to any malls or standing in any lines (You’re already interested aren’t you?)
Doesn’t require any expensive next-day Fedex shipping (More money to spend on an actual gift)
Works from just about any country in the world (Because Amazon.ca just ain’t the same as Amazon.com)

Currently there is no way to fix this except to have them disable iMessage on their phone.Jacqui Cheng:
Some unlucky iPhone owners are beginning to discover that, despite their best efforts to remove all information from their stolen phones, thieves and unsuspecting buyers are still able to send and receive iMessages as the original owner — even after the device is registered under a new account. Almost nothing seems to work — remote wiping, changing Apple ID passwords, or even moving the old phone number to a new phone — and users are becoming more than frustrated that thieves ... - Just discovered this flaw in iMessage after I used my SIM to activate a friends 4S that he isn't ...Dec 14, 11Just discovered this flaw in iMessage after I used my SIM to activate a friends 4S that he isn't using with a cell/data plan:
