The title is blatant dramatization at it's best.
Regardless, the article is pretty good. It talks about how surfing the web could be changing the way, through "practice," we think and absorb information.
How the web's tendency to promote quick transitions, easy information, and skimming text is breaking us of the ability to absorb longer, more in-depth information.
As a test, he makes the article pretty long, but overall it's worth the read.
Course, I must admit....about 3/4 of the way through it, there was some stuff that I found kinda boring...
...so I skimmed it.

Was driving me batty that FF was always starting maximized and every new window was also maximized. It took a bit of searching, but eventually I found the right key words that led me here.
The trick noted in the last post of the thread worked, much to my disbelief.

not sure how you have it setup, but I like my external apps to create a new window when they need to use the browser. I don't like it creating tabs or, worse, replacing a tab.
Unfortunately, they removed the option from the preferences. So I went to find out how to change it to how I liked.

It paraphrases the book really well and gives some insights into a difficult subject: word-of-mouth advertising.

Just a cool trick...
I like having the date on the Menu bar....I always know what day of the week it is, but I never know what day of the month it is. So with this, I replace the former with the latter

Dunno....
This seems very Verizon-esque....
This was a great feature! Apple understands that business doesn't trump features, and now they remove a great feature for AT&T to feel safer about it all?
Dunno....

I feel like I may have dotted this before....but I couldn't find it on Faves. So here it is again.
Also, the smiley in the instructions is Option + ; (ie semicolon)

Was kinda looking for this specifically for Hulu.
Disabling the screen saver every time was annoying and hot corners didn't seem to work while the video was full screen (who knows why).

I found this article during my travels a while back
It's a pretty good article comparing .net and python from many different angles important to a startup.
Part 1 doesn't seem to work and Part 3 is located at http://tinyurl.com/5gczt4

You must be Cadwag's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Yeah, the article makes a good point...but I feel like I've read this argument like 10 times over the past few weeks. It's becoming a pretty popular point of view, and one I agree with, but also one I'm getting bored of hearing. Maybe the web is affecting my attention span, as I'm inclined to skim it, say "so what?" and move on to the next thing in google reader.
already "skimmed" it 3 hours ago, you're gonna have to do better than that!
