Criminal "Read it before it becomes illegal!" 1:58:21 PM    comment [] Nusak What is it, you ask? Surely you know... Nuzak is like Muzak. It runs in the background. It's a New York Times headline on the way out of the house. It's CNN at the airport. It's Fox News at home whileJoe is really doing something else. The purpose of Nuzak is to be mildly interesting and possibly entertaining without telling Joe anything that would disturb him personally. Real news has immediacy. It is "actionable intelligence," the last thing Joe is interested in. The average person basically wants to be left alone and to be told, town-crier fashion, that "All is well." Elevator news. How long before it makes the OED? [Via SubIntSoc] 1:53:56 PM    comment [] Sex or sight? A question straight out of a Dickian novel... The FDA is looking into a possible link between Viagra and blindness, although the set of reported cases of blindness seems very small. 1:45:18 PM    comment []
